Installing ODI in 32 bit Linux RHEL 5.4 Machine

I have followed below steps to install the ODI,got some issues as well while doing the installation.Installation failed because of some RPM packages missed in this OS.You can also find how I  installed those packages in the Linux machine.

1.Get the ODI software and copy to Linux machine(I used winscp application for copying dump )

2.Give the proper privileges to the dump folder by running following commands in Putty Terminal or Linux Terminal

$ chmod 755 <foldername>

$chmod -R 777 <foldername>

3.Navigate to Disk1 and run the following command to trigger the Installation

$ ./runInstaller

It will ask you for valid JDK Location.Give the path upto jdk folder,in my case it is /home/odiuser/jdk1.6.0_32



4.Asks you to select Inventory Directory.Select the Inventory directory and click OK and continue with local Inventory.



5.Now welcome screen appears and click Next




6.Skip software Updates

7.Select the Installation type

choose both Developer Installation and Standalone Installation.



8.Now it will do the Pre Requisite check .

In my case its failed at checking of Operating system packes



From the log (shown in RED in the bottom of wizard) I can see below packages are not found in OS

sysstat-5.0.5-1.i386.rpm

compat-db-4.1.25-9.i386.rpm

So I have  downloaded above RPM packages from Internet and installed using below command


sudo yum install sysstat-5.0.5-1.i386.rpm

sudo yum install compat-db-4.1.25-9.i386.rpm

Here I used sudo in command since logged in linux user is SUDO user


9.Check the pre-requisite check by click Back button(If not comes then start from runInstaller)

now check passed now



10.Specify the ODI Home to install the software



11.Skip the Master Repository configuration.Later we can configure Master Repository using ODI Studio.

12.Give the Agent and Port number



13.Give the email to receive security updates via My Oracle support or you can unselect this.

14.Shows the Installation Summary ,click Install button to start copying files into ODI Home



15.Shows the Configuration Process



16.Click Next and Finsh to complete the Installation.
