Running the Oracle Business Intelligence Applications Installation Wizard (Windows)

NOTE:  Before you install Oracle Business Intelligence Applications on a machine, you must first install the Oracle Business Intelligence infrastructure on that machine. For instructions on installing the Oracle Business Intelligence infrastructure, see Oracle Business Intelligence Infrastructure Installation and Configuration Guide.

When you run the Oracle BI Applications Installation Wizard, the Oracle BI Applications files are installed into the existing Oracle BI infrastructure directory (for example, <DRIVE>:\OracleBI\).

NOTE:  During the installation, if you are prompted to create or upgrade the DAC repository, choose Yes.

To install Oracle BI Applications on Windows

1. Access the installation files on the installation CD-ROM, and then run the program setup.exe to display the Welcome page.
   

   NOTE:  To run the installer in console (or text) mode, run the command setup.exe -console. You do not see following dialogue screens in console installation mode. Instead, you enter input as plain text in the terminal window when prompted.

2. Click Next to display the Oracle BI infrastructure and Java SDK directory location page.
   
3. Enter or browse for the location for the Oracle BI infrastructure (for example, <DRIVE>:\OracleBI\), the Oracle BI infrastructure data (for example, <DRIVE>:\OracleBIData\), and the Java SDK (for example, <DRIVE>:\jdk1.5).
4. Click Next to display the Source Systems Selection page.
5. At the Source Systems Selection page, select the Business Applications (or containers) that you want to install, then click Next.
   

Once you have installed Business Applications, you can deploy one or more of them selectively by specifying a container when you import the required DAC metadata (for more information, see To import metadata into the DAC repository).

6. At the summary page, review the summary information and click Next to start the installation.
   

   The installer installs the Oracle BI Applications directories and files in the Oracle BI infrastructure installation (for example, <DRIVE>:\OracleBI\), and installs the RPD Repository.

   NOTE:  Even when the progress bar on the installer reports 100% complete, you must wait until the Finish button is displayed, which might take a long time (that is, up to 30 minutes).

7. Click Finish.

TIP:   Look in the <DRIVE>:\OracleBI\Document\version_apps.txt file in the Oracle BI infrastructure directory to check that you have installed the correct version of Oracle BI Applications.
