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:
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 obtain, launch, and navigate the OUI. To install Oracle GoldenGate Monitor, you need to:
Note:
For more detailed information on OUI, see Installing with the Oracle Universal Installer.The distribution for Oracle GoldenGate Monitor is available on Oracle Technology Network.
To obtain Oracle GoldenGate Monitor, go to the Oracle Technology Network and:
Find ZIP file appropriate for your database and operating system, and download this file onto your system.
Extract the contents of this ZIP file onto your system. One of the files extracted will be ogg_generic.jar
; this file will be used to run the product installer and install the software onto your system.
For more information about obtaining distributions, see "Obtaining Product Distributions" in Planning an Installation of Oracle Fusion Middleware.
To start the installation program, perform the following steps.
Log in to the target system with administrator privileges.
Go to the directory where you downloaded the installation program.
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/ogg_generic.jar |
Windows |
C:\ java -jar -Xmx1024m ogg_generic.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.
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 |
---|---|
Welcome | This screen introduces you to the product installer.
Click Next. |
Auto Updates | Use this screen to search for and apply patch updates or to skip updates.
Click Next. |
Installation Location | Use this screen to specify the location of your Oracle home directory.
|
Installation Type | Use this screen to select an installation type.
|
Prerequisite Checks | This screen verifies that your system meets the minimum necessary requirements.
If there are any warning or error messages, you can refer to one of the documents referenced in "Verifying Certification, System Requirements, and Interoperability" in Planning an Installation of Oracle Fusion Middleware. Click Next. |
Installation Summary | Use this screen to verify the installation options you selected.
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. |
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, SQL Server, see Section 4.2, "Configuring Oracle GoldenGate Monitor Server for SQL Server 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.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 (12.2.1).
To create the repository use this procedure:
Start RCU by doing the following:
Change directory to ORACLE_HOME
/oracle_common/bin/
(ORACLE_HOME
\oracle_common\bin\
on Windows).
For specifics about ORACLE_HOME
, see Section 2.3, "Install Oracle WebLogic Server 12c (12.2.1)."
Launch RCU by entering:
On Linux:
$ ./rcu
On Windows:
rcu.bat
The RCU Welcome screen appears.
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 |
|
Database Connection Details |
|
Select Components |
|
Schema Passwords |
|
Map Tablespaces |
|
Summary | Review the repository creation summary and click Create. |
Completion Summary | Click Close. This will end the repository creation process. |
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".
