16 Setting Up Data Sources on Linux and UNIX

You can learn how to set up data sources for use with Oracle Business Intelligence when the Oracle BI Server is running on Linux or UNIX.

Most repository development is performed on Windows, because the Administration Tool runs only on Windows. When you move to a production system, however, you can choose to run the Oracle BI Server on a Linux or UNIX platform.

See System Requirements and Certification for information about supported Linux and UNIX platforms.
