Oracle GoldenGate Installation

In this post, let's look at how to install Oracle GoldenGate as part of our demonstration. For other prerequisites, set up and process please see this link

Source:

Download the Oracle GoldenGate software from here (Choose correct version as per your server environment)

The file name we use here is p13087235_111110_SOLARIS64.zip

Copy to desired OGG home location and unzip the software bundle and untar the actual file. Once untar, all the binaries required to run Oracle GoldenGate will be extracted and installation is considered complete.

$ cd $OGG
$ unzip p13087235_111110_SOLARIS64.zip
$ tar -xvf ggs_Solaris_sparc_ora9i_64bit.tar

Destination:

Download the Oracle GoldenGate software from here (Choose correct version as per your server environment)

The file name we use here is p17952585_1121017_Linux-x86-64.zip

Copy the software to the target server OGG home location and unzip the software bundle using unzip. Untar to complete installation.

$ cd $OGG
$ unzip p17952585_1121017_Linux-x86-64.zip
$ tar -xvf fbo_ggs_Linux_x64_ora11g_64bit.tar

Note: Until Oracle GoldenGate version 11.2, unzip of the bundle provides all the required executable/binaries for working with GoldenGate. Starting Oracle GoldenGate version 12.1, the extracted file will be used to install Oracle GoldenGate using runInstaller. Steps are as below.

$ unzip 121210_fbo_ggs_Linux_x64_shiphome.zip
$ ls -lrt
