7 Installation Screens
7.1 Welcome
This screen introduces you to the product installer.
Figure 7-1 Welcome Screen
This page provides two important pieces of information:
-
A navigation pane on the left that summarizes the tasks the installer will help you complete. Each item in the navigation pane represents a specific installer screen that will prompt you for information required to install the software.
-
Information about any prerequisites you might need to perform before continuing with the installation.
Review the information on this screen carefully to be sure you have performed all the necessary prerequisites.
7.2 Installation Location
Use this screen to specify the location of your Oracle home directory.
Figure 7-2 Installation Location
If you have an existing directory into which one or more Oracle products have already been installed, that directory can be viewed in the drop-down list. You can see which products are installed in that particular directory by clicking View next to "Features Sets Installed at Selected Oracle Home."
If you want your product to be installed in a new directory, type the full path of your new directory in the Oracle Home field; the installer will create the specified directory for you.
If you are installing Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure, then the Oracle Common home (oracle_common) directory will be created inside the specified Oracle home directory. The Oracle Common home contains services that are shared across all Oracle Fusion Middleware products.
7.3 Installation Type
Use this screen to specify the installation type, which defines which products and features are installed.
Figure 7-3 Installation Type
The options you see on this screen will differ depending on the product you are installing. For this product, select Oracle GoldenGate Monitor Agent.
