2.1 Planning Your Installation

To plan the installation of GoldenGate Stream Analytics (GGSA) 26ai efficiently, ensure that you have the required hardware and software. You should also perform the prerequisite procedures before starting the installation process.

You can use the information in the certification matrix before installing GoldenGate Stream Analytics 26ai. The certification matrix provides you useful links to support pages, supported software, and system requirements in general. The following software is required for operation of GGSA:

• Oracle JDK 21 and higher versions

• Repository Database

  • Oracle Database versions 19.1 or higher, 26ai (23.26.0) or higher

  • Else, you can use MySQL version 5.6 or 5.7

• A running Kafka cluster:

• Locally installed Spark Libraries. GGSA does not package the Spark client libraries, so you will also need locally installed Spark:

  Spark Release	Package Type	Download Spark	Kafka Compatibility
  4.0.1	Pre-built for Apache Hadoop 3.4 and later	spark-4.0.1-bin-hadoop3.tgz	Kafka 3.9.0 and above

• Note:

  Install Spark and JDK in the same node on which you plan to install Oracle Stream Analytics. See Installing GoldenGate Stream Analytics.

• Google Chrome browser with version 6.0 or higher
