GoldenGate 12.1.2.0 Install/Upgrade on OEL 6.4 x86-64

It was about time that I started working with the new release. I’ve had to upgrade my current 11g install, and since I’m on a documentation high these days, I put something together to help anyone else who wants to go through the install.

My current install is OGG 11.2.1.0.13 on Linux 64bit running against an 11.2.0.3 databases.

Vamanos!

Installation

1. Make a copy of your existing GoldenGate install folder after stopping all processes.

To start, I’ll only install the GoldenGate with DB11g since thats the only instance I have installed on this server at the moment.

3. Pick your installation directories. I’ve entered the same location for the software install as my existing GG11g directory to perform an upgrade.

NewImage

4. Click “yes” on this prompt. I think I know what I am doing!

NewImage
5. Review changes and click “Install”.

NewImage
6. Progress is good! If you are prompted whether the directory is not empty, simply select “yes” and proceed.

7. Awesome!

11. Interesting, did I miss something? What does the report file say?
2013-12-05 21:40:13  ERROR   OGG-01416  File ./dirdat/lt000005, with format RELEASE 11.2, does not match current format specification of RELEASE 12.1. Modify the parameter file to specify format RELEASE 11.2 or issue ETROLLOVER prior to restart.
12. Ok, my mistake :)

Modify the parameter file to specify format RELEASE 11.2 or issue ETROLLOVER prior to restart.

12.1. Option #1: Let’s make the correct parameter change and try again. Add the following to the EXTTRAIL ./dirdat/lt in the extracts parameter file.
EXTTRAIL ./dirdat/lt, FORMAT RELEASE 11.2
12.2. Option #2: Start a new trail sequence by issuing a roll-over command.

12.3. Great, now we can make the same change to the replicat’s parameter file and start it.

13. Excellent!! Now we are done with the installation of 12c and upgrade of 11g to 12c!
Hopefully this has been educational for you. I hope to dive further into some of the new features in 12c.

Cheers!
