2.1 Downloading the Plug-In

You can download plug-ins in online or offline mode. Online refers to an environment where you have Internet connectivity to the Enterprise Manager Store. Offline refers to an environment where you don’t have Internet connectivity.

See Downloading Plug-ins in Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Administrator's Guide.

2.2 Importing the Plug-in Archive

If you manually downloaded the plug-in, then you must manually import the plug-in archive into Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control. This topic tells you how to complete this task.

To import the plug-in archive:

Download the Enterprise Manager Plug-In for Oracle GoldenGate from the Oracle GoldenGate Downloads page, located in the Management Pack for Oracle GoldenGate section.
Select Setup, Command Line Interface and follow the instructions outlined on the Enterprise Manager Command Line Interface Download page to set up the Enterprise Manager Command Line (EM CLI) utility.

Import the plug-in archive:

emcli login -username=your user ID-password=password
emcli sync
emcli import_update -file=<../oracle.fmw.gg_xxx.opar -omslocal
emcli get_plugin_deployment_status -plugin_id=oracle.fmw.gg -omslocal

Log in to Enterprise Manager Cloud Control to complete the deployment:
1. Select Setup, Extensibility, Plug-ins to open the Plug-ins page.
2. Expand the Middleware folder.
3. Select Oracle GoldenGate, Deploy on, Management Servers... to start the deployment process.
4. Enter the Repository SYS password and click Continue.
  
  A series of prerequisite system checks begins. As each system check completes,
5. Click Next after each system check completes to continue to the next check. Do this until all of the prerequisite checks are complete.
6. Click Next and then Deploy.
  
  Tip:
  
  Deployment usually takes about 10 minutes to complete. During this time, all connected users are disconnected from Enterprise Manager. Even though the confirmation page displays, clicking Show Status displays This webpage is not available while deployment of the plug-in progresses.
7. Check the status of Enterprise Manager Plug-In for Oracle GoldenGate deployment. After 10 minutes, you can check the status through the emcli command: emcli get_plugin_deployment_status -plugin_id=oracle.fmw.gg -omslocal.
  
  Note:
  
  If you haven’t enabled the -omslocal flag, then make sure you specify the host and all the necessary credentials.

2.3 Deploying the Plug-In to the Management Agent

After you’ve completed the plug-in deployment on the management server, you must deploy the plug-in to the management agent.

To deploy the plug-in to the management agent:

Select Setup, Extensibility, Plug-ins to open the Plug-ins page.
Expand the Middleware folder.
Select Oracle GoldenGate, Deploy on, Management Agent... to start the deployment process.
Select the required version of plug-in, then click Continue.
Select all the EM Agents where you want to install plug-in.
Click Continue then click Deploy.

Once the Enterprise Manager Plug-In for Oracle GoldenGate is deployed, an Oracle GoldenGate item appears under Targets in Enterprise Manager Cloud Control.
