Install or Upgrade Data Gateway

Install a Data Gateway agent on a machine in the network where the data source is hosted.

Note: Oracle Analytics no longer supports Data Gateway agents older than the November 2023 version. If you have an earlier version of Data Gateway, upgrade your environment by installing the latest version.

You can install Data Gateway agents interactively or silently using an Oracle Universal Installer response file. To deploy Data Gateway agents on multiple machines, repeat the installation and configuration steps for each machine.

To upgrade an earlier server installation of Data Gateway on Linux, install the new version of Data Gateway into the existing installation folder. If you have an existing personal installation of Data Gateway on Windows, delete the installation and re-install using the instructions below.

1. Download Data Gateway from Oracle Technology Network (see Download Data Gateway).
2. Start the Data Gateway installer and follow the on-screen instructions.

   On Linux, run DataGateway_<update>Linux64.bin (before you start, make the installer file executable; for example, using chmod 777).

   On Windows run DataGateway_<update>Windows64.exe (as administrator).

3. On the Installation Complete page, under Next Steps, select Start Jetty.
4. To start the Data Gateway agent, open a web browser and enter the URL: <Local hostname>:<port>/obiee/config.jsp.
   For example, on Windows, enter the URL http://localhost:8080/obiee/config.jsp.

5. If you're using a proxy, navigate to the Home page in the Data Gateway agent, and specify the Proxy details for Host, Port, User, and Password.

When the installation is complete, configure Data Gateway to communicate with your Oracle Analytics Cloud. instance. See Configure Data Gateway for Data Visualization or Configure and Register Data Gateway for Reporting.
