Oracle Goldengate 18.1 Install

Oracle released 18.1.0 in Oct 2018 and here i'll explaining on how to do new install of this release and i see no difference from 12c version and its same and very simple.

Before you install/Upgrade oracle goldengate to 18.1 you need to check the compatibility for your environment, you can check the compatible matrix below in oracle page

Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations 

Also, According to oracle if you have multiple RDBMS versions like Oracle Database 11.2 and 12.1, you must have separate Oracle GoldenGate installations for each one.

The Classic Extract (capture) is deprecated as of Oracle GoldenGate 18c (18.1.0). This means that there will be no further enhancements to the Classic Capture (Extract) process.
