Getting error to install rlwrap

Question

I am trying to install rlwrap for Oracle Goldengate installation but at the time of installation I got following error.

yum install rlwrap-0.37-1.el6.i686.rpm Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks Cannot open: rlwrap-0.37-1.el6.i686.rpm. Skipping. Error: Nothing to do

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Thanks!

Answer 1

The yum tool requires to package names as arguments not rpm files. Please run instead:

yum install rlwrap

If you have downloaded rpm locally then run

rpm -i rlwrap-0.37-1.el6.i686.rpm 

Answer 2

I documented the process here for Classic Architecture: https://www.dbasolved.com/2016/08/rlwrap-with-goldengate-ggsci/

In Microservices Architecture, rlwrap is included with the AdminClient.
