2 Installing Oracle Data Integrator

Learn how to install and configure Oracle Data Integrator, and how to verify your installation.

This chapter includes the sections:

2.1 Starting the Installation Program

Learn how to launch the installer for Oracle Data Integrator.

To begin installing Oracle Data Integrator:

  1. Log in to the target system.
  2. The installer requires that a certified JDK already exists on your system. For more information, see the appropriate certification document for 12c (12.2.1) on the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations page.
  3. Go to the directory where you downloaded the installation program.
  4. Unzip the installer fmw_12.2.1.1.0_odi_Disk1_1of2.zip and fmw_12.2.1.1.0_odi_Disk1_2of2.zip files.
  5. Launch the installation program by invoking java -jar from the JDK directory on your system, as illustrated below:
    /home/Oracle/jdk1.8.0_74/bin/java -jar fmw_12.2.1.1.0_odi.jar
    

    Be sure to replace /home/Oracle/jdk1.8.0_74/bin/java with the location of the JDK on your system.

When the installation program appears, you are ready to install. See Navigating the Installation Screens to Install Oracle Data Integrator for a description of each installation program screen.

2.2 Navigating the Installation Screens to Install Oracle Data Integrator

Learn how to navigate and understand Oracle Data Integrator installation screens.

The installation program displays a series of screens, in the order listed in Table 2-1.

If you need additional help with any of the installation screens, click the screen name.

Table 2-1 Oracle Data Integrator Installation Screens

Screen Description

Installation Inventory Setup

This screen will appear if this is the first time you are installing any Oracle product on this host. Specify the location where you want to create your central inventory. Make sure that the operating system group name selected on this screen has write permissions to the central inventory location.

For more information about the central inventory, see Understanding the Oracle Inventory.

Welcome

This screen introduces you to the product installer.

Installation Location

Use this screen to specify the location of your Oracle home directory.

  • The Java EE and standalone colocated agent must be installed into an existing Oracle Home directory containing Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure.

  • The standalone agent must be installed into a new, empty Oracle Home directory.

For more information, see Selecting Directories for Installation and Configuration.

Installation Type

Use this screen to select an installation type.

To create the topology for Java EE or standalone colocated agents, select Enterprise Installation into an existing Oracle Home directory.

To create the topology for standalone agents, select Standalone Installation.

ODI Studio is available in all install types. See Configuring Oracle Data Integrator Studio for details.

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.

Specify Security Updates

If you already have an Oracle Support account, use this screen to indicate how you would like to receive security updates.

If you do not have one and are sure you want to skip this step, clear the check box and verify your selection in the follow-up dialog box.

Installation Summary

Use this screen to verify the installation options you selected. If you want to save these options to a response file, click Save and provide the location and name of the response file. Response files can be used later in a silent installation situation.

Installation Progress

This screen allows you to see the progress of the installation.

Installation Complete

This screen appears when the installation is complete. Review the information on this screen, then click Finish to terminate the installer.

2.3 Verifying the ODI Installation

Learn how to verify an Oracle Data Integrator installation.

To verify an ODI installation, complete the following tasks:

2.3.1 Reviewing Installation Log Files

The log files generated during your ODI installation help you determine whether any problems occurred during installation.

Review the contents of the installation log files to make sure that no problems were encountered. For a description of the log files and where to find them, see Understanding Installation and Configuration Log Files.

2.3.2 Checking the Directory Structure

Check the directory structure of your ODI installation. This structure varies according to the options you selected during installation.

The contents of your ODI installation vary based on the options you selected during the installation.

For more information about the directory structure you should see after installation, see What are the Key Oracle Fusion Middleware Directories?.

2.4 Installing Oracle Data Integrator in Silent Mode

You can install Oracle Data Integrator in silent mode by using the silent flag.

To install Oracle Data Integrator in silent mode, use the -silent flag on the command line when you start the installer.

For more information about silent or command line installation, see Using the Oracle Universal Installer in Silent Mode.
