Setup Oracle Golden Gate 21.3 Microservice software in silent mode using response file and command line argument

Setup Golden Gate Microservice software in silent mode using response file and command line argument

Setup environment details:

Hostname: vcentos79-oracle-sby1
IP: 192.168.194.6
Is it db server: Yes
DB Name: DBCASLNT
CDB: NO
DB Version: 19c
OS version: RHEL7.9

Please refer to the following blog for PreReqs,binary download & OS certification info.
blog url: Oracle Golden Gate Setup using GUI

OGG_SOFTWARE unzip location:

ls -ld /u01/app/software/21.3.0_oggsc [will fail saying path not found]
mkdir -p /u01/app/software/21.3.0_oggsc

ls -ld /u01/app/software/21.3.0_oggsc [path will be there now]

Unlike oracle home, the Oracle Golden Gate Software still needs to be copied using runInstaller. In case of ORACLE_HOME, the download is a golden image, where we unzip the software into the target ORACLE_HOME itself.

OGG_HOME:

ls -ld /u01/app/oracle/product/21.3.0/ogg_home_1 [will fail saying path not found]
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/21.3.0/ogg_home_1

ls -ld /u01/app/oracle/product/21.3.0/ogg_home_1 [path will be there now]

Step Unzip the GG binary into the OGG_SOFTWARE location:

[oracle@vcentos79-oracle-sby1 21.3.0_oggsc]$ unzip /vagrant/213000_fbo_ggs_Linux_x64_Oracle_services_shiphome.zip

Let us kick off the install in silent mode [pls note, we are using the default response file only, no customization, we are supplying all the input variables in command line]

Response file presence validation:
[oracle@vcentos79-oracle-sby1 Disk1]$ ls -altr /u01/app/software/21.3.0_oggsc/fbo_ggs_Linux_x64_Oracle_services_shiphome/Disk1/response/oggcore.rsp

Go to the runInstaller path:
[oracle@vcentos79-oracle-sby1 Disk1]$ pwd
/u01/app/software/21.3.0_oggsc/fbo_ggs_Linux_x64_Oracle_services_shiphome/Disk1

Launch runInstaller:

Command:
./runInstaller -silent -showProgress -waitForCompletion \
-responseFile /u01/app/software/21.3.0_oggsc/fbo_ggs_Linux_x64_Oracle_services_shiphome/Disk1/response/oggcore.rsp \

Actual command output:

2GB is consumed as expected by the OGG_HOME binary install.

So the silent install of Oracle Golden Gate Binary is done.

Let us now move forward with next step which is deploying Oracle Golden Gate Services in silent mode.

Thank you!
