In my last article, I demonstrated the steps to install Oracle GoldenGate 12c software in Graphical Mode, thanks to my friend "Juan Andres Mercado" who reminded me for Oracle GoldenGate silent installation because it is possible you may not find graphical access to some critical Data Center environments to install in Graphical Mode so the only option to install Oracle products would be in silent mode.
Oracle GoldenGate silent installation is similar to other oracle product's silent or Text based installation like we do for Oracle Grid Infrastructure and Oracle RDBMS installations using a response file. All we need to do is to create a response file to be used for silent installation. Oracle already provides a sample response file (Disk1/response/oggcore.rsp) with Oracle GoldenGate software package which can be used to create a new response file or we can modify the existing sample response file to be used for our Oracle GoldenGate silent installation.
I used the existing sample response file for this demo by adjusting the required parameters to be used as per its need and requirements.
Below is the sample response file I have used and have highlighted the parameters which are required and needed to modify for the silent installation.
Sample Response File:
==================
bash-4.1$ cat /u01/oggcore.rsp

UNIX_GROUP_NAME=oinstall In above sample response file, following parameters are used for silent installation.
INSTALL_OPTION=This parameter is used to choose the option whether you want to install Oracle GoldenGate for Oracle Database 11g or Oracle Database 12c. To install Oracle GoldenGate for Oracle Database 11g, you would need to specify its value as ORA11G or ORA12C to install Oracle GoldenGate for Oracle Database 12c. I have used the value ORA11G as I am installing Oracle Goldenate for Oracle Database 11g.
SOFTWARE_LOCATION: Specify the Oracle GoldenGate Home location for this parameter.
START_MANAGER: Specify true if you want Oracle GoldenGate Manager process to start upon completion of Oracle GoldenGate or false if you don't want the Manager process to start automatically after Oracle GoldenGate installation.
MANAGER_PORT: Specify Manager port number on which your Oracle GoldenGate Manager process will run and listen remote GoldenGate connections.
DATABASE_LOCATION: Specify Oracle Database Home location for which you are installation Oracle GoldenGate software to capture changed data from or want to replicate the changes to.
INVENTORY_LOCATION: Specify Oracle Inventory location here.
UNIX_GROUP_NAME: Specify Oracle OS user group.
Once you are done with the preparation of response file, in my case, I have placed my response file at /u01/oggcore.rsp location. Go to the Oracle GoldenGate extracted software location and run the /runInstaller in silent mode to install Oracle GoldenGate software as below.
[oracle@DRsrv Disk1]$ ./runInstaller -silent -responseFile /u01/oggcore.rsp -showProgress

Once the Oracle GoldenGate Installation completes successfully, run the orainstroot.sh script located in oraInventory location.
[root@prodsrv app]# /u01/app1/oraInventory/orainstRoot.sh
Changing permissions of /u01/app1/oraInventory.
Adding read,write permissions for group.
Removing read,write,execute permissions for world.
Changing groupname of /u01/app1/oraInventory to oinstall.
The execution of the script is complete.Validating Oracle GoldenGate Installation:
----------------------------------------------------
You can verify what all Oracle products are installed on your server just by looking at your Oracle inventory file.
First identify your Oracle inventory location as below.
[root@prodsrv ~]# cat /etc/oraInst.loc
inventory_loc=/u01/app1/oraInventory
inst_group=oinstall
Once you identified Oracle Inventory location then go to your Oracle Inventory location and get the contents of inventory.xml file to see the installed oracle products on your server.
[root@prodsrv ContentsXML]# pwd
/u01/app1/oraInventory/ContentsXML
[root@prodsrv ContentsXML]# cat inventory.xml
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes" ?>
<!-- Copyright (c) 1999, 2011, Oracle. All rights reserved. -->
<!-- Do not modify the contents of this file by hand. -->
<INVENTORY>

</HOME_LIST>
<COMPOSITEHOME_LIST>
</COMPOSITEHOME_LIST>
</INVENTORY>
[root@prodsrv ContentsXML]#In above contents from inventory.xml file, you can see an Oracle Home added for our Oracle GoldenGate product as highlighted.
Another simplest way to validate your Oracle GoldenGate software installation quickly is to go to Oracle GoldenGate Home and invoke Oracle GoldenGate command line Interface to check the status of Manager process.
$cd $OGG_HOME
-bash-4.1$ pwd
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/ogg_home -bash-4.1$ ./ggsci
