The Oracle GoldenGate (OGG) Monitor Agent (or jagent) collects information about an instance and sends it to the Oracle GoldenGate Monitor Server and Enterprise Manager Plug-In for Oracle GoldenGate. In this post, I show how to upgrade the OGG 12c jagent.<\/p>\n

Install and upgrade the existing OGG 12c jagent<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n1. Unzip **V44427-01.zip**, which produces an output file, fmw_12.1.3.0.0_ogg.jar<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

        -rwxr-xr-x   1 oracle  oinstall 435392820 Jun 18  2014 fmw_12.1.3.0.0_ogg.jar<\/em>
\n <\/p>\n

2. Verify that $JAVA_HOME<\/strong> and $JAVA_HOME\/bin<\/strong> are setup correctly and that
\n   the java version is 1.7 or later by running the following command:<\/p>\n

\n        \/nbcogg\/goldengate <s0931> java -version
\n        java version “1.8.0_45”
\n        Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_45-b14)
\n        Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.45-b02, mixed mode)
\n        \/nbcogg\/goldengate <s0931><\/em><\/p>\n

3. Run the following Java command to initiate the Oracle Universal Installer
\n   (OUI) installer<\/p>\n

   \/nbcogg\/goldengate <s0931> java -jar -Xmx1024m \/nbcogg\/goldengate\/fmw_12.1.3.0.0_ogg.jar
\n        Launcher log file is \/var\/tmp\/OraInstall2015-07-08_08-17-57AM\/launcher2015-07-08_08-17-57AM.log.

\n        Starting Oracle Universal Installer<\/em><\/p>\n

\"jagent<\/p>\n

In this step, you need to specify the location of the Oracle home directory:<\/p>\n

\"jagent<\/p>\n

 Select the Oracle GoldenGate Monitor Agent and click Next<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\"jagent<\/p>\n

\nCheck for the specific operating system prerequisites:<\/p>\n
