Performing an Interactive Installation with OUI for MA

Interactive installation provides a graphical user interface that prompts for the required installation information.

These instructions apply to new installations and upgrades.

  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 ./fbo_ggs_Linux_x64_services.zip -d ./temp directory

  3. From the expanded directory, run the fbo_ggs_Linux_x64_services_shophome/Disk1/runInstaller program on UNIX or Linux.
    The OUI Install Wizard is started.
  4. On the Select Installation Option page, select the Oracle Database version for your environment, then click Next.
  5. On the Specify Installation Details page, specify the following:
    • For Software Location, specify the location where Oracle GoldenGate software is to be installed. This will be your Oracle GoldenGate Home (OGG_HOME) after the installation is complete. If you have the $OGG_HOME environment variable set, this should be the path displayed. The specified directory cannot be a registered home in the Oracle Central Inventory.

    • Click Next.

  6. On the Summary page, 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, 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 finished.
  7. Click Close to complete the installation.
