Having satisfied all the necessary prerequisites, we are now ready to install the Oracle GoldenGate 12c software. The next paragraphs offer a step-by-step guide to the installation process.
One of the major changes in Oracle GoldenGate 12c is the installation method. Like other Oracle products, OGG 12c is now installed with the Java-based OUI in either interactive or silent mode. The OUI reads the Oracle Inventory on your system to discover existing installations (Oracle Homes), which allows you to install, deinstall, or clone software products.
To use the GoldenGate software, you must install it on both source and target systems. When you install GoldenGate on Linux or Unix, it is highly recommended that the software is installed by the Oracle user.
