3 Installing and Configuring Oracle GoldenGate Monitor Agent for z/OS and DB2 for i

1. Create a directory to install Oracle GoldenGate Monitor Agent binaries; for this example, we will call that directory /apps/products/ogg-agent-zos-home/.
2. Navigate to /apps/products/ogg-agent-zos-home and untar ogg_agent-zos.tar:

   $ tar xzf ogg_agent-zos.tar
   

   You will see a new directory, ogg_agent-zos, under /apps/products/ogg-agent-zos-home/. This ogg_agent-zos directory contains all Oracle GoldenGate Monitor Agent binaries and its configuration and scripts files. On z/OS platforms, this directory (/apps/products/ogg-agent-zos-home/ogg_agent-zos) and is your OGG_AGENT_INST_HOME directory.

The Oracle GoldenGate Monitor Agent product distribution contains the file ogg_agent_generic.tar, which you will use to install Oracle GoldenGate Monitor Agent on DB2 for i platforms. Use this procedure:

1. Create a directory to install Oracle GoldenGate Monitor Agent binaries; for this example, we will call that directory /apps/products/ogg-agent-ibmi-home/

2. Navigate to /apps/products/ogg-agent-ibmi-home and untar ogg_agent_generic.tar:

   $ tar xvf ogg_agent_generic.tar && rm ogg_agent_generic.tar
   

   You will see all Oracle GoldenGate Monitor Agent binaries and its configuration and scripts files. On DB2 for i platforms, this directory (/apps/products/ogg-agent-ibmi-home) is your OGG_AGENT_BASE_HOME.
