   2. Stop all Golden Gate processes. No extracts should be running. 
   3. Copy Tam.dll to the ggs directory
   4. Start ggsci & extract


2) Red Hat Linux 32-bit Golden Gate Server
   1. Ensure Golden Gate software is installed on the system and a ggs directory 
      is present. 
   2. Stop all Golden Gate processes. No extracts should be running. 
   3. Copy libTAM.so to the ggs directory. Rename as Tam.so
