Oracle GoldenGate - Installation on Windows - Part 2

Prepare GoldenGate for installation

We are in the process of performing a GoldenGate installation on Windows Vista Machine, running Oracle 11g R1 database. We have complete the steps of configuring the ORACLE_SID and ORACLE_HOME variables so far. We have also installed the VC++ runtime libraries to the PC and now ready to setup GoldenGate.


3) Create a folder "GoldenGate" in your C: drive and copy the contents of the downloaded software into this folder. You may wish to specify any other folder name, but  make sure that your folder name does not contain any 'space' character.

4) From the GoldenGate folder, we now have to run the GGSCI program. A screenshot is provided below

5) Now, issue the CREATE SUBDIRS command, the resulting log is provided below. [ this step would create the required working directories for this program ]. Once this is done, issue EXIT and close the program.
