2.4 Installing Oracle GoldenGate Director Client

These instructions apply to new installations. For upgrades, see Upgrading and Updating Oracle GoldenGate Director.

The client version must be the same as the server version. To install the client, follow these steps on all Windows, Linux, or UNIX workstations that will be used to connect to Oracle GoldenGate Director Server.

If you did not install Java Runtime Environment on the client machine, do so before proceeding. If installing on the same machine as Oracle GoldenGate Director Server, you can use its JRE. To install the JRE, see Installing the Java Runtime Environment (JRE).
Start Oracle GoldenGate Director Server.
Close all Windows applications.
Run an Internet browser and type the following address:
```
http://hostname:port/
```
Where: hostname is the fully qualified name or IP address of the machine that hosts Oracle GoldenGate Director Server and port is the Oracle GoldenGate Director Server port number (default is 7001).

Note:

Do not use "localhost" as the host name. The correct name and IP address are shown on the Oracle WebLogic Server console at startup. An example is: http://dirhost.mycompany.com:7001/acon.
Download the appropriate ggdirector-clientsetup_platform build for the client platform, and save it to the workstation.
Run the program from the workstation. The installer provides options for choosing an installation directory and, if the system runs Windows, a location for the Windows shortcut that starts the client.
