Installing Oracle GoldenGate Software

Install Oracle GoldenGate software on both the source and target. This section describes the silent installation method. See the Oracle GoldenGate documentation for GUI installation. With the silent installation method, you specify your installation choices in a file called a response file, then run a command to perform the installation without further interaction.

Download the software to a temporary staging location.

Review the response file sample and make any necessary changes for your environment.

The software will be installed in the directory specified as SOFTWARE_LOCATION. This documentation refers to the installation location as OGG_HOME.
