Usually we do the installation using the graphical interface. Let’s try this time the silent mode:
This is my environment:
Oracle OCI instance:
OS. : Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.5 (Ootpa)
ORACLE_HOME: /u01/app/oracle/product/19c/dbhome_1
GG_HOME : /u01/app/oracle/GG/
GG_VERSION : 21.3.0.0
Download the software from:
https://www.oracle.com/middleware/technologies/goldengate-downloads.html#license-lightbox
Copy the file to a staging location on the server. In my case will be “/u01/software”:
[email protected] software]$ pwd
/u01/software
[[email protected] software]$ ls -ltr
total 337864
-rw-r--r--. 1 oracle oinstall 345971438 Aug 17 15:17 OracleGoldenGate21.3.0.0.0forLinuxx86-64.zip
[[email protected] software]$
Step 1) Unzip the software
[[email protected] software]$ unzip OracleGoldenGate21.3.0.0.0forLinuxx86-64.zip

Step 2) Create Response File
[[email protected] software]$ cd fbo_ggs_Linux_x64_Oracle_shiphome/Disk1/response/
[[email protected] response]$ ll

-rw-rw-r--. 1 oracle oinstall 4441 Jul 29 2021 oggcore.rsp
[[email protected] response]$ cp oggcore.rsp oggcore_new.rsp
This is my response file:
[[email protected] response]$ cat oggcore_new.rsp
