B Installing Oracle GoldenGate Veridata Java Agent on DB2 for i and DB2 z/OS

This chapter explains how to install the Oracle GoldenGate Veridata 12c (12.1.3) Java agent on a DB2 for i or a DB2 z/OS platform. To install the agent on any other platform, see Chapter 3, "Installing Oracle GoldenGate Veridata".

This chapter includes the following sections:

B.1 Installation Overview

To install the Oracle GoldenGate Veridata Java agent on z/OS platform, download the appropriate file for your operating system from the product distribution. See Appendix D, "Oracle GoldenGate Veridata Distribution". As a best practice, Oracle recommends that you install the Java agent on the same system that hosts the database that contains compare data though this is not required. You will install one Oracle GoldenGate Veridata Java Agent for each database instance where there is data that is to be compared.

B.2 Installing Veridata Java Agent for either DB2 for i or DB2 z/OS Platform

To install Oracle GoldenGate Veridata Java Agent on either a DB2 for i or DB2 z/OS platform:

  1. Create a folder to install the Veridata Agent binary files and download the GoldenGate_Veridata_Agent_iSeries.zip or the GoldenGate_Veridata_Agent_ZOS.zip file as appropriate for your platform.

  2. Unzip the file to a folder. This folder is considered as the AGENT_ORACLE_HOME and it contains the binary files and configuration files required for the Veridata Agent. For more information about the directory structure, Table 6-1, "Directories in an Oracle GoldenGate Veridata Installation"

  3. Run the AGENT_ORACLE_HOME /bin/agent_configure.sh script to deploy the agent on your platform. See Chapter 6, "Deploying and Configuring Oracle GoldenGate Veridata Agent".
