Installing Oracle Data Integrator and the
Demonstration Environment
This chapter provides an overview of how to install Oracle Data Integrator and the
demonstration environment. The instructions in this chapter are the instructions
required for using the demonstration environment with Oracle Data Integrator Studio.
This chapter includes the following sections:
■ Section 2.1, "Preparing to Install"
■ Section 2.2, "Installing Oracle Data Integrator"
■ Section 2.3, "Installing the Demonstration Environment"
Note: Oracle Data Integrator Studio and the demonstration
environment must be installed on your system to perform the tasks described
in this Getting Started guide.
2.1 Preparing to Install
Review the information in this section before you begin:
■ Review System Requirements and Certification
■ Understand Oracle Fusion Middleware Support of 64-bit JDK
■ Create ODI Repositories
2.1.1 Review System Requirements and Certification
Before installing any Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) components, you should read the
system requirements and certification documentation to ensure that your environment
meets the minimum installation requirements. Both of these documents are available on Oracle
Technology Network (OTN).
The system requirements document covers information such as hardware and
software requirements, minimum disk space and memory requirements, and required
system libraries, packages, or patches:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/files/fusion_
requirements.htm
The certification document covers supported installation types, platforms, operating
systems, databases, JDKs, and third-party products:

Note: If you are installing the 32-bit version of the product, the
system on which you are installing must also be a supported 32-bit
system. Installing a 32-bit version of the product on a 64-bit system is not
supported.
2.1.2 Understand Oracle Fusion Middleware Support of 64-bit JDK
If you are using a 64-bit Java Virtual Machine (JVM) in your environment, ensure that
all your Oracle Fusion Middleware components are using the 64-bit JVM. You cannot mix
components using a 32-bit JVM with those using a 64-bit JVM.
Refer to the Oracle Fusion Middleware Certifications matrix for information on the
platforms that support a 64-bit JDK:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/files/fusion_
certification.html
2.1.3 Create ODI Repositories
You do not need to create ODI repositories for using the demonstration environment
in ODI Studio. The demonstration environment provides the necessary preconfigured repositories.
2.2 Installing Oracle Data Integrator
This section contains information and instructions for installing Oracle Data Integrator
Studio. The installation instructions in this chapter are the instructions required for using the
demonstration environment in Oracle Data Integrator Studio.
For detailed installation instructions, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide
for Oracle Data Integrator.
This section contains the following topics:
■ Downloading the Installer and the Demo Environment
■ Starting the Installer
■ Installation Types
■ Installation Instructions
Note: If you are installing on a UNIX system for the first time, you
may be asked to run the ORACLE_HOME/oracleRoot.sh script as
root user to create all of the necessary installation directories.
2.2.1 Downloading the Installer and the Demo Environment
The installer and the demo environment are available on the Oracle Data Integrator
Downloads page on Oracle Technology Network (OTN).
To download the installer and the demo environment:
1. Go to the Oracle Data Integrator Downloads page on OTN at
http://otn.oracle.com/goto/odi

2. Download the 11g Oracle Data Integrator Media Pack and the 11g demo
environment for your platform to a temporary folder.
2.2.2 Starting the Installer
To start the installer, uncompress the Oracle Data Integrator Media Pack you have
downloaded in a temporary folder and run the following command from this folder:
■ On UNIX operating systems:
./runInstaller
■ On Windows operating systems:
setup.exe
Note: The minimum JDK required for Oracle Data Integrator is JDK
1.6. Refer to the Oracle Fusion Middleware Certification
documentation to see the JDKs supported for your system:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/fi
les/fusion_certification.html
2.2.3 Installation Types
You need to install the following components to work with the demo environment:
■ ODI Studio
■ Standalone Agent
This corresponds to the Developer and the Standalone installation type.
2.2.4 Installation Instructions
Follow these instructions to install and configure Oracle Data Integrator Studio:
Note: If you need additional help with any of the installation
screens, refer to the Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for
Oracle Data Integrator or click Help to access the online help.
1. In the Welcome Screen, click Next to continue.
2. In the Select Installation Type Screen, select both Developer Installation and
Standalone Installation as shown in Figure 2-1. Note that ODI Studio and ODI SDK are
automatically selected.

3. Click Next to continue.
4. In the Prerequisite Checks Screen, click Next to continue.
5. In the Specify Installation Location Screen, enter the absolute path for the Oracle
home location (referred to later in this guide as ODI_HOME). For example:
C:\oracle\ODI_HOME1
Note: The specified directory must be an empty directory or an
existing Oracle Data Integrator home location.
6. Click Next to continue.
7. In the Repository Configuration Screen, select Skip Repository Configuration. Click
8. Next to continue.
9. In the Specify Agent Details Screen, enter the following agent details:
■ Agent Name: DemoAgent
■ Agent Port: 20910
Note that the port number should not be used by any other process and that
the agent name cannot be the same as another agent already declared in the topology.
The Specify Agent Details screen is shown in Figure 2-2.

2.3 Installing the Demonstration Environment
The Oracle Data Integrator demonstration environment is delivered on the Oracle
Data Integrator companion CD and can be downloaded from the Oracle Data
Integrator Downloads page on Oracle Technology Network (OTN) at
http://otn.oracle.com/goto/odi
The demonstration files and samples of the demonstration environment are located in
the /demo folder of the companion CD.
Note: The demonstration (demo) environment should be installed
with an existing installation that includes the ODI Studio component.
To manually install the Demonstration environment, do the following:
1 Unzip oracledi-demo.zip in the ODI_HOME folder.
. Verify that the JAVA_HOME environment variable is set and contains the path of a
JVM suitable for Oracle Data Integrator.
2. If this variable is not set correctly, set it to a valid java machine location.
For example:
On UNIX operating systems:
setenv JAVA_HOME/usr/local/java
On Windows operating systems:
Set the JAVA_HOME variable graphically
For a list of certified JVM versions, see
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/files/
fusion_certification.htm
You can now use the demonstration environment in Oracle Data Integrator Studio.
