This week I had to install the Oracle Golden Gate product on a client and the DBA that was on site, was deprived of the access to a graphical environment to execute the installation with the Oracle Universal Install method.
The first thing that this young man tells me is that he had thought about uploading the software and doing the unzip and voila!
With that I would have the binaries ready to be used and start with the configurations.
But we were before a version of OGG 12c and this is not possible.
It is so that it appeals to the traditional installation in SILENT MODE.
Starting of Installation
I asked you to follow the following steps:
- Create the path for the software installation.
- Deploy the installation binaries with the unzip command.
- Identify the Response File.
- Execute the installation in silent mode.
Path for software installation
It helps to create a mnemonic path in case we will contain more instances of OGG in the future.
/home/oracle/CDBAR/OGG_Ins1
We deploy the software
[oracle@src01 Disk1]$ unzip fbo_ggs_Linux_x64_shiphome.zip
About the Response File
The response file is in the response directory
[oracle@src01 Disk1]$ ls install response runInstaller stage
This will be our configuration file (oggcore.rsp), which will allow us to perform SILENT execution through the console.
I share the model that you have set for this team.

So we are ready to start with the installation of the software.
Installation
Now that we have our response file configured from the console, we can begin the installation.
./runInstaller -silent -responseFile /home/oracle/CDBAR/soft/fbo_ggs_Linux_x64_shiphome/Disk1/response/oggcore.rsp
We can see that the installation finished correctly and that we can also consult a log that the tool proposes.
[oracle@src01 Disk1]$ ./runInstaller -silent -responseFile /home/oracle/CDBAR/soft/fbo_ggs_Linux_x64_shiphome/Disk1/response/oggcore.rsp Starting Oracle Universal Installer...

As we set the parameter START_MANAGER = TRUE we will perform the corresponding control and verify that it is in full force.

I hope to be of help again, post your messages and Greetings LATAM!
