Starting the Installation Program

Before running the installation program, you must verify the JDK and prerequisite software is installed.

To start the installation program:

Sign in to the host system.
Change to the directory where you downloaded the installation program.
Unzip the installer fmw_12.2.1.3.0_odi_Disk1_1of2.zip and fmw_12.2.1.3.0_odi_Disk1_2of2.zip files to the same directory.
You must have installed the Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure 12c (12.2.1.3.0). For instructions, see Installing the Infrastructure Software in Installing and Configuring the Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure.
Start the installation program by running the java executable from the JDK directory. For example:
- (UNIX) /home/Oracle/Java/jdk1.8.0_131/bin/java -jar fmw_12.2.1.3.0_odi.jar
- (Windows) C:\home\Oracle\Java\jdk1.8.0_131\bin\java -jar fmw_12.2.1.3.0_odi.jar

Note:

You can also start the installer in silent mode using a saved response file instead of launching the installer screens. For more about silent or command line installation, see Using the Oracle Universal Installer in Silent Mode in Installing Software with the Oracle Universal Installer.

When the installation program appears, you are ready to begin the installation.

Navigating the Installation Screens

The installer shows a series of screens where you verify or enter information.

The following table lists the order in which installer screens appear. If you need additional help with an installation screen, click Help.

Table 3-1 Oracle Data Integrator Install Screens

Screen	Description
Installation Inventory Setup	On UNIX operating systems, this screen opens if this is the first time you are installing any Oracle product on this host. Specify the location where you want to create your central inventory. Make sure that the operating system group name selected on this screen has write permissions to the central inventory location. See About the Oracle Central Inventory in Installing Software with the Oracle Universal Installer. This screen does not appear on Windows operating systems.
Welcome	Review the information to make sure that you have met all the prerequisites, then click Next.
Auto Updates	Select to skip automatic updates, select patches, or search for the latest software updates, including important security updates, through your My Oracle Support account.
Installation Location	Specify your Oracle home directory location. The Java EE and standalone collocated agent must be installed into an existing Oracle Home directory containing Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure. The standalone agent must be installed into a new, empty Oracle Home directory. You can click View to verify and ensure that you are installing Oracle Data Integrator in the correct Oracle home.
Installation Type	To create the topology for Java EE or standalone collocated agents, select Enterprise Installation into an existing Oracle Home directory. To create the topology for standalone agents, select Standalone Installation. ODI Studio is available in all install types. See Configuring Oracle Data Integrator Studio for details.
JDK Selection	Note: This screen appears for certain distributions only. Use this screen to select the JDK to use for this installation.
Prerequisite Checks	This screen verifies that your system meets the minimum necessary requirements. To view the list of tasks that gets verified, select View Successful Tasks. To view log details, select View Log. If any prerequisite check fails, then an error message appears at the bottom of the screen. Fix the error and click Rerun to try again. To ignore the error or the warning message and continue with the installation, click Skip (not recommended).
Specify Security Updates	Note: This screen appears only if you selected Standalone HTTP Server (Managed independently of WebLogic server) as the Installation Type. If you already have an Oracle Support account, use this screen to indicate how you would like to receive security updates. If you do not have one and are sure you want to skip this step, clear the check box and verify your selection in the follow-up dialog box.
Installation Progress	This screen shows the installation progress. When the progress bar reaches 100% complete, click Finish to dismiss the installer, or click Next to see a summary.
