Installing Oracle GoldenGate 12c Base release (12.1.2.1.0) on linux

Overview:

Oracle Golden Gate provides very fast replication of data by reading transaction logs and writing the changes to one or more target databases in a homogeneous and heterogeneous environment. It is useful for High Availability Architectures and especially for Data Warehouse and Decision Support Systems.
