Installation Screens for Oracle GoldenGate Monitor

This section shows examples of the Oracle Universal Installer screens for Oracle GoldenGate Monitor. These screens are:

Welcome

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.

Auto Updates

Use this screen to quickly and easily search for the latest software updates, including important security updates, through your My Oracle Support account.

The following table describes the fields on this screen.

Element Description

Skip Auto Updates

Select this option to skip this screen. The installer does not check for updates that might be applicable to the current product installation.

Select patches from directory

Select this option and click Browse to provide the location of the latest patch bundle, such as p26753577_122120_Generic.zip to install the Monitor server with patch. This is to ensure that the patch metadata is downloaded.

Search Local Directory for Updates

Select this option if you already downloaded the latest software updates and you want the installer to search a local directory for updates applicable to the products you are about to install.

When you select this option, the installer displays an additional field and Browse button that you can use to identify the local directory where the updates are located.

Search My Oracle Support for Updates

If you have a My Oracle Support account, then select this option to have the installer automatically search My Oracle Support for software updates that apply to the software products are about to install.

Enter your My Oracle Support account name and password, and then click Search for Updates.

The installer automatically downloads applicable software updates from My Oracle Support.

Before you search for updates, you can test your login credentials and the connection to My Oracle Support by clicking Test Connection.

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.

Installation Type

The options you see on this screen will differ depending on the product you are installing. Refer to Install the Product for specific details.
