If you entered incorrect information on one of the installation screens, return to that screen by clicking Back until you see the screen.
If an error occurred while the installer is copying or linking files:
Note the error and review the installation log files.
Remove the failed installation by following the steps in Chapter 8.
Correct the issue that caused the error.
Restart the installation.
The installation and configuration log files can contain useful information to help troubleshoot any issues you may encounter. For more information about these log files and their contents, see "Configuring Installation and Configuration Log Files" in Installing Software with the Oracle Universal Installer.
If you are using Oracle Data Integrator with other Oracle Fusion Middleware products, make sure you have read the Understanding Interoperability and Compatibility.
Oracle strongly recommends that you use identical versions of different ODI components such as ODI Studio, ODI Console, standalone and J2EE Agents, and executable scripts for a specific site or platform. In addition, you should make sure your Master and Work Repository versions are compatible with these components (Table B-1).
