Table 1-2 Roadmap for Verifying Your System Environment

Task

Description

Documentation

Verify certification and system requirements

Verify that your operating system is certified and properly configured for installation and configuration.

See Verifying Certification, System, and Interoperability Requirements.

Identify a proper installation user

Verify that the installation user has the proper permissions to install the software.

See Selecting an Installation User.

Select the Oracle home directory on your system.

Verify that you can create the necessary Oracle home directory for installation, according to the recommended directory structure.

Oracle GoldenGate Studio is a standalone installation. The Oracle home directory should be a new, empty directory.

See About the Oracle Home Directory.

Install a certified JDK

The installation program for the distribution requires a certified JDK present on your system.

See About JDK Requirements for an Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation.

Install and configure a database for mid-tier schemas

You must have access to a certified database that is properly configured for the Repository schema required by Oracle GoldenGate Studio.

See About Database Requirements for an Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation.

- Verifying Certification, System, and Interoperability Requirements
Oracle recommends that you use the certification matrix and system requirements documents with each other to verify that your environment meets the requirements for installation.

- Selecting an Installation User
The user who performs installation and configuration on your system requires sufficient permissions and privileges.

- About the Oracle Home Directory
When you install any Oracle Fusion Middleware product, you must use an Oracle home directory.

- About JDK Requirements for an Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation
Most Fusion Middleware products are in .jar file format. These distributions do not include a JDK. To run a .jar distribution installer, you must have a certified JDK already installed on your system.

- About Database Requirements for an Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation
Many Oracle Fusion Middleware products require database schemas prior to configuration. If you do not already have a database where you can install these schemas, you must install and configure a certified database.

1.2.1 Verifying Certification, System, and Interoperability Requirements

Oracle recommends that you use the certification matrix and system requirements documents with each other to verify that your environment meets the requirements for installation.

1. Verifying your environment meets certification requirements
Make sure that you are installing your product on a supported hardware and software configuration. For more information, see the certification document for your release on the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations page.

Oracle has tested and verified the performance of your product on all certified systems and environments. Whenever new certifications occur, they are added to the proper certification document right away. New certifications can be released at any time. Therefore, the certification documents are kept outside the documentation libraries and are available on Oracle Technology Network.

2. Using the system requirements document to verify certification
Oracle recommends that you use the Oracle Fusion Middleware System Requirements and Specifications document to verify that the certification requirements are met. For example, if the certification document indicates that your product is certified for installation on 64-Bit Oracle Linux 6.5, use this document to verify that your system meets the required minimum specifications. These include disk space, available memory, specific platform packages and patches, and other operating system-specific items. System requirements can change in the future. Therefore, the system requirement documents are kept outside of the documentation libraries and are available on Oracle Technology Network.

3. Verifying interoperability among multiple products
See Oracle Fusion Middleware 12c Interoperability and Compatibility in Oracle Fusion Middleware Understanding Interoperability and Compatibility to learn how to install and run multiple Fusion Middleware products from the same release or mixed releases with each other.

1.2.2 Selecting an Installation User

The user who performs installation and configuration on your system requires sufficient permissions and privileges.

- About User Permissions
The user who installs a Fusion Middleware product owns the files and has certain permissions on the files.

- About Non-Default User Permissions on UNIX Operating Systems
Changing the default permissions setting reduces the security of the installation and possibly your system. Oracle does not recommend changing default permission settings.

- Verifying the Installation User has Administrator Privileges on Windows Operating Systems
To update the Windows Registry, you must have Administrator privileges.

1.2.2.1 About User Permissions

The user who installs a Fusion Middleware product owns the files and has certain permissions on the files.

The user who installs a Fusion Middleware product has the following permissions on them:

- Read and write permissions on all non-executable files (for example, .jar, .properties, or .xml). All other users in the same group as the file owner have read permissions only.

- Read, write, and execute permissions on all executable files (for example, .exe, .sh, or .cmd). All other users in the same group as the file owner have read and execute permissions only.

This means that someone other than the person who installs the software can use the installed binaries in the Oracle home to configure a domain or set of Fusion Middleware products.

Below are some additional considerations to make prior to running the installer:

- On UNIX operating systems, Oracle recommends that you set the umask to 027 on your system prior to installation. This ensures that file permissions are set properly during installation. Use the following command:
umask 027

You must enter this command in the same terminal window from which you plan to run the product installer.

- On UNIX operating systems, do not run the installation program as the root user. The installer startup validation will fail and you will not be able to continue.

- When managing a product installation (for example, applying patches), you must use the same user ID as was used to perform the initial product installation.

- On Windows operating systems, the user performing the installation must have Administrator privileges. See Verifying the Installation User has Administrator Privileges on Windows Operating Systems for more information.

1.2.2.2 About Non-Default User Permissions on UNIX Operating Systems

Changing the default permissions setting reduces the security of the installation and possibly your system. Oracle does not recommend changing default permission settings.

If other users require access to particular files or executable, consider using the UNIX sudo command (or other similar command) in lieu of changing file permissions.

Refer to your UNIX operating system Administrator's Guide or contact your operating system vendor if you need further assistance.

1.2.2.3 Verifying the Installation User has Administrator Privileges on Windows Operating Systems

To update the Windows Registry, you must have Administrator privileges.

By default, members with the Administrator privilege sign in to the system with regular privileges, but can request elevated permissions to perform administrative tasks.

To perform a task with elevated privileges:

1. Find the Command Prompt item, either from the Start menu or the Windows icon in the lower-left hand corner.

2. Right-click Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.
This opens a new command prompt window, and all actions performed in this window will be done with administrator privileges.

Note:
If you have User Access Control enabled on your system, you may see an additional window asking you to confirm this action. Confirm and continue with this procedure.

3. Perform the desired task.

For example, to start the product installer:

For a jar file, enter:

java —jar distribution_name.jar

For an executable (.exe, .bin, or .sh file), enter:

distribution_name.exe

1.2.3 About the Oracle Home Directory

When you install any Oracle Fusion Middleware product, you must use an Oracle home directory.

This directory is a repository for common files that are used by multiple Fusion Middleware products installed on the same machine. These files are essential to ensuring that Fusion Middleware operates correctly on your system. They facilitate checking of cross-product dependencies during installation. For this reason, you can consider the Oracle home directory a central support directory for all Oracle Fusion Middleware products installed on your system.

Fusion Middleware documentation refers to the Oracle home directory as ORACLE_HOME.

Oracle Home Considerations

Keep the following in mind when creating the Oracle home directory and installing Fusion Middleware products:

- Do not include spaces in the name of your Oracle home directory; the installer gives you an error message if your Oracle home directory path contains spaces.

- You can install only one instance of each Oracle Fusion Middleware product in a single Oracle home directory. If you need to maintain separate versions of a product on the same machine, each version must be in its own Oracle home directory.
Although you can have several different products in a single Oracle home, only one version of each product can be in the Oracle home.

Multiple Home Directories

Although in most situations, a single Oracle home directory is sufficient, it is possible to create more than one Oracle home directory. For example, you need to maintain multiple Oracle home directories in the following situations:

- You prefer to maintain separate development and production environments, with a separate product stack for each. With two directories, you can update your development environment without modifying the production environment until you are ready to do so.

- You want to maintain two different versions of a Fusion Middleware product at the same time. For example, you may want to install a new version of a product while keeping your existing version intact. In this case, you must install each product version in its own Oracle home directory.

- You need to install multiple products that are not compatible with each other. See Oracle Fusion Middleware 12c (12.2.1.2) Interoperability and Compatibility in Oracle Fusion Middleware Understanding Interoperability and Compatibility for more information.

Note:
If you create more than one Oracle home directory, you must provide non-overlapping port ranges during the configuration phase for each product.

1.2.4 About JDK Requirements for an Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation

Most Fusion Middleware products are in .jar file format. These distributions do not include a JDK. To run a .jar distribution installer, you must have a certified JDK already installed on your system.

Make sure that the JDK is installed outside of the Oracle home. If you install the JDK under the Oracle home, you will encounter problems when you try to perform tasks in the future. Oracle Universal Installer validates that the Oracle home directory is empty; the install will not progress until you specify an empty directory. Oracle recommends that you locate your JDK installation in the /home/oracle/products/jdk directory.

Some products (such as Oracle HTTP Server and Oracle JDeveloper) are available as platform-specific distributions. Platform-specific distributions have a .bin (for UNIX operating systems) or .exe (for Windows operating systems) installer; in these cases, a platform-specific JDK is in the distribution and you do not need to install a JDK separately. However, you may need to upgrade this JDK to a more recent version, depending on the JDK versions that are certified.

Always verify the required JDK version by reviewing the certification information on the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations page. For 12c (12.2.1.2), the certified JDK is 1.8.0_101 and later.

To download the required JDK, navigate to the following URL and download the Java SE JDK:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

1.2.5 About Database Requirements for an Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation

Many Oracle Fusion Middleware products require database schemas prior to configuration. If you do not already have a database where you can install these schemas, you must install and configure a certified database.

To find a certified database for your operating system, see the certification document for your release on the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations page on the Oracle Technology Network (OTN).

To make sure your database is properly configured for schema creation, see "Repository Creation Utility Requirements" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware System Requirements and Specifications document.

After your database is properly configured, you use the Repository Creation Utility (RCU) to create product schemas in your database. This tool is available in the Oracle home for your Oracle Fusion Middleware product. For more information, see About the Repository Creation Utility in Oracle Fusion Middleware Creating Schemas with the Repository Creation Utility.

1.3 Obtaining the Product Distribution

You install Oracle GoldenGate Studio using the Oracle Fusion Middleware GoldenGate Studio distribution, which you can obtain from the Oracle Technology Network (OTN).

To install Oracle GoldenGate Studio, download and unzip the installer ZIP file to a directory on your system. You can then run the java —jar command from that directory to start the installer.

To locate and download Oracle Fusion Middleware products, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Download, Installation, and Configuration Readme Files on OTN.

You must have a certified JDK installed on your system to install this distribution.

Note:

For more information about distributions, see Obtaining Product Distributions in Oracle Fusion Middleware Planning an Installation of Oracle Fusion Middleware.

- If you have the necessary permission and privileges to perform DBA activities on your database, select System Load and Product Load. This procedure assumes that you have SYSDBA privileges.

- If you do not have the necessary permission or privileges to perform DBA activities in the database, you must select Prepare Scripts for System Load on this screen. This option generates a SQL script that you can give to your database administrator. See About System Load and Product Load in Oracle Fusion Middleware Creating Schemas with the Repository Creation Utility.

- If the DBA has already run the SQL script for System Load, select Perform Product Load.

3.3.3 Providing Database Connection Details

On the Database Connection Details screen, provide the database connection details for the RCU to connect to your database.

Note:

If you are unsure of the service name for your database, you can obtain it from the SERVICE_NAMES parameter in the initialization parameter file of the database. If the initialization parameter file does not contain the SERVICE_NAMES parameter, then the service name is the same as the global database name, which is specified in the DB_NAME and DB_DOMAIN parameters.

For example:

- Database Type: Oracle Database

- Name: examplehost.exampledomain.com

- Port: 1521

- Service Name: Orcl.exampledomain.com

- User Name: sys

- Password: ******

- Role: SYSDBA

Click Next to proceed, then click OK in the dialog window that confirms a successful database connections.

If you need help on screen listed in Table 5-2, click Help on the screen.

Table 5-2 Deinstallation Screens and Descriptions

Screen

Description

Welcome

Introduces you to the product deinstaller.

Deinstallation Summary

Shows the Oracle home directory and its contents that will be deinstalled. Verify that this is the correct directory.

If you want to save these options to a response file, click Save Response File and enter the response file location and name. You can use response file later during a silent deinstallation. For more on silent or command line deinstallation, see Running the Oracle Universal Installer for Silent Deinstallation in Installing Software with the Oracle Universal Installer.

Click Deinstall to begin removing the software.

Deinstallation Progress

Shows the deinstallation progress.

Deinstallation Complete

Appears when the deinstallation is complete. Review the information on this screen, then click Finish to dismiss the deinstaller.

5.5 Removing the Oracle Home Directory Manually

After deinstalling the software, you must manually remove your Oracle home directory and any existing subdirectories that the deinstaller did not remove.

For example, if your Oracle home directory is /home/Oracle/product/ORACLE_HOME on a UNIX operating system, enter the following commands:

cd /home/Oracle/product
rm -rf ORACLE_HOME

On a Windows operating system, if your Oracle home directory is C:\Oracle\Product\ORACLE_HOME, use a file manager window and navigate to the C:\Oracle\Product directory, then right-click on the ORACLE_HOME folder and select Delete.

5.6 Removing the Program Shortcuts on Windows Operating Systems

On Windows operating systems, you must also manually remove the program shortcuts; the deinstaller does not remove them for you.

To remove the program shortcuts on Windows:

1. Go to the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Oracle\ORACLE_HOME\Product directory.

2. If you only have one product installed in your Oracle home, delete the ORACLE_HOME directory. If you have multiple products installed in your Oracle home, delete all products before deleting the ORACLE_HOME directory.

5.7 Removing the Oracle GoldenGate Studio Cache Directory

Oracle GoldenGate Studio cache information should be manually removed; the deinstaller does not remove this information.

By default, the Oracle GoldenGate Studio cache is stored in a directory inside the user’s home directory. For example:

On Linux or UNIX:

/home/exampleuser/.oggstudio

On Windows:

C:\Users\exampleuser\AppData\Roaming\oggstudio

The binaries and user preferences are stored in this directory. As a result, if Oracle GoldenGate Studio is reinstalled on the same system by the same user, the binaries from a previous installation will be used unless this directory is manually removed.

5.8 Reinstalling the Software

You can reinstall your software into the same Oracle home as a previous installation only if you deinstalled the software by following the instructions in this section, including manually removing the Oracle home directory.

When you reinstall, you can then specify the same Oracle home as your previous installation.

Consider the following cases where the Oracle home is not empty:

- Installing in an existing Oracle home that contains the same feature sets.
The installer warns you that the Oracle home you specified during installation already contains the same software you are trying to install.

- Installing in an existing, non-empty Oracle home.
For example, suppose that you chose to create your Domain home or Application home somewhere inside your existing Oracle home. This data is not removed during the deinstallation process, so if you try to reinstall into the same Oracle home, the installer does not allow it. Your options are:

1. Deinstall your software from the Oracle home (as this section describes) and then remove the Oracle home directory. After you deinstall the software and remove the Oracle home directory, you can reinstall and reuse the same Oracle home location. Any domain or application data that was in the Oracle home must be re-created.

2. Select a different Oracle home directory.
