Prerequisites

Ensure that you go through the following prerequisites before using Oracle GoldenGate on Oracle Cloud Marketplace.

Supported Browsers

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure supports the latest desktop versions of Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer 11, Safari, Firefox, and Firefox ESR. Note that Mobile browsers as well as private browsing mode is not supported for Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Edge.

Create an SSH/RSA Key

To work with the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure once the Oracle GoldenGate Compute Node is built, you have to provide a SSH Public Key during the interview process that will allow you to log in to the node once built.

In order to build your SSH keys, perform the following steps:

1. Open a Terminal window and start the key generation program by typing the following command:

   $ ssh-keygen Generating public/private rsa key pair.

2. Enter the path to store this file. By default, this gets saved in your home directory under a hidden folder called .ssh. Change this default location, if required.

   Enter file in which to save the key (/Users/johndoe/.ssh/id_rsa): <Return>

3. Enter a passphrase for using your key.

   Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): <passphrase>

4. Re-enter the passphrase to confirm it.

   Enter same passphrase again: <passphrase>

5. Check the results.

   The key fingerprint (a colon separated series of 2 digit hexadecimal values) is displayed. Check if the path to the key is correct. In the above example, the path is /Users/johndoe/.ssh/id_rsa.pub. You have now created a public or private key pair.

Note:

For generating key pair on Windows platform, refer to Creating a Key Pair section in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Documentation.
