3 Installing the Oracle Data Integrator Software

Follow the steps in this section to install the Oracle Data Integrator software.

Before beginning the installation, ensure that you have verified the prerequisites and completed all steps covered in Preparing to Install and Configure Oracle Data Integrator.

Starting the Installation Program

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

To start the installation program:

  1. Sign in to the host system.
  2. Change to the directory where you downloaded the installation program.
  3. Copy the installer fmw_14.1.2.0.0_odi_generic.jar file to the same directory.
  4. You must have installed the Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure 14c (14.1.2.0.0). For instructions, see Installing the Infrastructure Software in Installing and Configuring the Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure.
  5. Start the installation program by running the java executable from the JDK directory.

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 Linux or 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.

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.

  • If OID has to co-exist with other Oracle upper stack, like SOA; then ODI Enterprise needs to be installed to the existing FMW Oracle Home.

You can click View to verify and ensure that you are installing Oracle Data Integrator in the correct Oracle home.

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.

By default, the installer writes logs files to the Oracle_Inventory_Location/logs (on UNIX operating systems) or Oracle_Inventory_Location\logs (on Windows operating systems) directory.

For a description of the log files and where to find them, see Installation Log Files in Installing Software with the Oracle Universal Installer.

Checking the Directory Structure

The contents of your installation vary based on the options that you selected during the installation.

See What Are the Key Oracle Fusion Middleware Directories? in Understanding Oracle Fusion Middleware.

Viewing the Contents of the Oracle Home

You can view the contents of the Oracle home directory by using the viewInventory script.

See Viewing the Contents of an Oracle Home in Installing Software with the Oracle Universal Installer.

Installing Oracle Data Integrator in Silent Mode

You can install Oracle Data Integrator in silent mode by using the silent flag.

To install Oracle Data Integrator in silent mode, use the -silent flag on the command line when you start the installer.
