3 Installing Oracle GoldenGate Monitor

This chapters contains the steps necessary to install Oracle GoldenGate Monitor on your computer. It also provides additional details for using the Repository Configuration Utility (RCU) to create a repository for your Oracle GoldenGate Monitor implementation. This chapter is comprised of the following sections:

3.1 Installing Oracle GoldenGate Monitor

You install Oracle GoldenGate Monitor by using the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI), a seven-step, screen-driven tool used to install this and other Oracle products. This section describes how to launch and navigate the OUI. To install Oracle GoldenGate Monitor, you need to:

  1. Obtain the Installer

  2. Start the Installation Program

  3. Install the Product

Note:

For more detailed information on OUI, see Installing with the Oracle Universal Installer.

3.1.1 Obtain the Installer

OUI for all Oracle GoldenGate components is available from the product distribution, which you can obtained from either the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud, MyOracle Support, or the Oracle Technology Network. For more information, contact your Release team.

3.1.2 Start the Installation Program

To start the installation program, perform the following steps.

  1. Log in to the target system.

  2. Go to the directory where you downloaded the installation program.

  3. Launch the installation program by invoking java -jar from the JDK directory on your system, as shown in the following table:

For this O/S Use this command
Unix 
$ java -jar -Xmx1024m /path/to/jar/file/fmw_12.1.3.0.0_ogg.jar
Windows 
C:\ java -jar -Xmx1024m  fmw_12.1.3.0.0_ogg.jar

When the installation program appears, you are ready to begin the installation. See Section 3.1.3, "Install the Product" for a description of each installation program screen.

3.1.3 Install the Product

To install the product, navigate through the Installer screens, providing the necessary information as described on the following table. This table lists the screens in the order they will appear and provides instructions for completing any necessary fields. If you want further information on any screen, click its name in the left-hand column.

Screen Description Installation Action
Welcome This screen introduces you to the product installer. Click Next.
Installation Location On this screen, specify the location of your Oracle home directory.
  1. Type or browse and select the Oracle Home location (that is, the path where you have installed WebLogic Server+JRF) and

  2. Click View to see the products installed under the selected Oracle Home.

  3. Click Next.
Installation Type On this screen, specify the type of installation you want to perform and thus, which products and features are installed.
  1. Select Oracle Golden Gate Monitor Server.

  2. Click Next.
Prerequisite Checks This screen analyzes the host computer to ensure that specific operating system prerequisites have been met. Click Next.
Installation Summary This screen contains a list of the feature sets you selected for installation, along with the approximate amount of disk space to be used by the feature sets once installation is complete.

Note: To display an individual component's approximate installed size, click its name.

 Click Install.
Installation Progress This screen shows the progress of the installation. When the progress bar reaches 100%, the installation is complete. Be aware that the Generating Libraries process can take up to 70% of the total installation time on some systems. When the installation progress is 100%, click Next.
Installation Complete This screen appears at the conclusion of the installation and provides a summary of the products and features that were installed. Click Finish to dismiss the installer. Click Finish.

3.2 Creating a Repository

Note:

These procedures describe how to create a repository for an Oracle database, only. If you are creating an repository for a non-Oracle database (that is, MySQL and SQL Server), see Section 4.2, "Configuring Oracle GoldenGate Monitor Server for Non-Oracle Databases"

Next, use the Repository Creation Utility (RCU) to create an Oracle GoldenGate Monitor-specific repository.

Note:

For more information on creating a repository with RCU, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Creating Schemas with the Repository Creation Utility.

3.2.1 Before You begin

Before creating the repository for an Oracle database, be aware of the following:

  • The character set must be AL32UTF8 because the default character set is not supported by RCU.

  • RCU supports only plug-able databases; it does not support container database. This is because by default container database will enable in Oracle 12c (12.1.3).

3.2.2 Create the Repository

To create the repository use this procedure:

  1. Start RCU by doing the following:

    1. Change directory to ORACLE_HOME/oracle_common/bin/ (ORACLE_HOME\oracle_common\bin\ on Windows).

    2. Launch RCU by entering:

      On Linux:

      $ ./rcu

      On Windows:

      C:/path/to/bin>rcu.bat

    The RCU Welcome screen appears.

  2. Navigate through the RCU screens, providing the necessary information as described on the following table. For additional, generic information on each screen, click the screen name in the Screen column.

    Screen Repository Creation Action
    Welcome Click Next.
    Create Repository
    1. Ensure Create Repository and System Load and Product Load are selected.

    2. Click Next.
    Database Connection Details
    1. Enter Database Connection details with the appropriate information.

    2. Click Next.

      A confirmation window opens, verifying that the Global Prerequisites are implemented.

    3. Click OK.
    Select Components
    1. If it is not already selected, select Create new prefix and, in the edit box, enter the prefix by which you want to identify that the schema was created for Oracle GoldenGate Monitor Server (for example, DEV1). This schema prefix is automatically appended with _STB, which you will use when configuring your Oracle WebLogic Server domain.

    2. Select the following components:

      • AS Common Schemas

      • Metadata Services

      • Audit Services

      • Audit Services Append

      • Audit Services Viewer

      • Oracle Platform Security Services

      • User Messaging Services

      • WebLogic Services

      • Call COntrol

      • Oracle GoldenGate

      • Monitor Server

      Note: The preceding component list is for Oracle databases, only. Components selected for non-Oracle databases will differ. For more information, see Section 4.2, "Configuring Oracle GoldenGate Monitor Server for Non-Oracle Databases"

    3. Click Next.

      A confirmation window opens, verifying that the prerequisites are implemented.

    4. Click OK.
    Schema Passwords
    1. Ensure that Use same password for all schemas is selected.

    2. Enter and confirm a new password.

    3. Click Next.
    Map Tablespaces
    1. Click Next.

      A confirmation window opens, advising that tablespaces that do not already exist will be created.

    2. Click OK to create the new tablespaces or Cancel to return to the wizard (this procedure assumes you clicked OK).

      A confirmation window opens, tracking the progress of the tablespace creation.

    3. Click OK.
    Summary Review the repository creation summary and click Create.
    Completion Summary Click Close. This will end the repository creation process.

3.3 Next Step: Configure the Domain

With Oracle GoldenGate Monitor Server installed and a repository created, you need to create the domain for the database type you are using. For instructions, see Chapter 4, "Configuring and Starting Monitor Server".
