To create a Fast Clone installation, you must complete some tasks before and after installing the software.
Use the following high-level task flow:
Perform the pre-installation tasks:
Get a license key.
To use the Fast Clone Console, install the Java Runtime Environment (JRE).
To run the Fast Clone Console on Linux or UNIX, install the X Window Server.
Configure the ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID environment variables, if not already defined, on the Oracle source system.
Install Fast Clone on the Oracle source system.
Set up the system user under which Fast Clone runs.
Optional. If you do not want to run the Fast Clone Console on the Oracle source system, install it on another system from which you want to configure and manage bulk data movement jobs. Complete the normal Fast Clone installation procedure.
Optional. To use the Fast Clone Server, install it on a Linux, UNIX, or Windows system in your environment. Complete the normal Fast Clone installation. On Windows, also run install_server.cmd.
If you use the direct path unload method, set up Fast Clone user permissions in Oracle that allow read access to the physical data files.
Optional. If you want to test connection settings for targets from the Fast Clone Console, get the JDBC drivers that the Fast Clone Console uses to connect to the targets. Fast Clone provides drivers for many targets in its lib subdirectory. For other targets, you must download the drivers.
If you use DataStreamer with Teradata or Greenplum targets, download the Teradata TPT libraries to the system where DataStreamer runs or verify that you have the Greenplum parallel file server (gpfdist) installed.
After you complete the installation tasks, you can use the Fast Clone Console or command line interface to configure bulk data movement jobs. For more information, see the
