In an earlier post I had covered how to install the latest Oracle GoldenGate 23c Free edition using a Docker image obtained from Oracle Container Registry.
This post will outline the procedure used to download and install the GoldenGate 23c Free edition software on an Oracle Linux 8 environment.
The link for the GoldenGate 23c Free edition download is below.
https://www.oracle.com/integration/goldengate/free/download/

Download and unzip the ogg_23c_Linux_x64_Oracle_services_free_shiphome.zip file.
[oracle@db23c software]$ cd fbo_ggs_Linux_x64_Oracle_services_free_shiphome/ [oracle@db23c fbo_ggs_Linux_x64_Oracle_services_free_shiphome]$ ls Disk1 [oracle@db23c fbo_ggs_Linux_x64_Oracle_services_free_shiphome]$ cd Disk1/ [oracle@db23c Disk1]$ ls install response runInstaller stage
Launch the installer.

Note: As per the initial documentation, the following databases are supported:
- Oracle Database 11.2.0.4
- Oracle Database 12.1.0.2
- Oracle Database 19c
- Oracle Database 21c, 21c XE
- Oracle Database 23c, 23c Free
Note:Oracle Autonomous Database and wallet authentication are not supported.
Install the GoldenGate 23.3.0.0.0 software.





Note: The only additional step from the installation of earlier versions seems to be this screen where we specify a port number for the Free edition UI and a directory location for “Data Storage Home“.

Configure GoldenGate 23c Service Manager and create a deployment.
Launch GoldenGate 23c Configuration Assistant
bash-4.4$ cd /u01/oracle/ogg23c/bin/
bash-4.4$ ./oggca.sh
