3.2.1 Installing Oracle GoldenGate MA for Distributed Applications and Analytics Using the UI

Interactive installation provides a graphical user interface that prompts for the required installation information. These instructions apply to new installations and upgrades.

To install Oracle GoldenGate for Distributed Applications and Analytics (GG for DAA) using the UI:

  1. Create a temporary staging directory into which you will install Oracle GoldenGate. For example, mkdir /u01/stage/oggsc.
  2. Extract the installation ZIP file into the temporary staging directory. For example: unzip ggs_Linux_x64_BigData_64bit_services.zip -d ./temp directory
  3. From the expanded directory, run the ggs_Linux_x64_BigData_64bit_services/Disk1/runInstaller program on UNIX or Linux to display the Installation Wizard.
  4. On the Select Installation Option page, select the Oracle Database version for your environment, then click Next.
  5. If you are on Windows and running Manager as a service, set the system variable PATH to include jvm.dll, then delete the Manager service and re-add it.
  6. On the Specify Installation Details page, ensure that the following environment variable is set:
    • OGG_HOME
  7. Click Next to display the Summary page.
  8. Confirm that there is enough space for the installation and that the installation selections are correct.
    • (Optional) Click Save Response File to save the installation information to a response file. You can run the installer from the command line with this file as input to duplicate the results of a successful installation on other systems. You can edit this file or create a new one from a template.
    • Click Install to begin the installation or Back to go back and change any input specifications. When upgrading an existing Oracle GoldenGate installation, OUI notifies you that the software location has files or directories. Click Yes to continue.
    • If you created a central inventory directory, then you are prompted to run the INVENTORY_LOCATION/orainstRoot.sh script. This script must be executed as the root operating system user. This script establishes the inventory data and creates subdirectories for each installed Oracle product (in this case, Oracle GoldenGate).

    You are notified when the installation is completed.

  9. Click Close to complete the installation.
