Installing Oracle BI Server

Install BI Server instances on each of the machines that you have identified to host this component by following the installation steps identified in this topic. You can install a maximum of 16 BI Servers to participate in the BI Cluster.

Oracle BI components are installed using the Oracle Business Intelligence Installer.

1. For Oracle BI Server, select either Basic or Advanced installation type, depending on your deployment

   NOTE:  If the Advanced installation type has been chosen for installing the BI Server, then the Systems Management component for BI Server will be deployed in the Oracle Application Server installed on the machine. If the Basic installation type has been chosen for installing the BI Server, then the Systems Management component for BI Server will be deployed in OC4J.

2. For Oracle BI Server, select the setup type Custom.
   • Select the feature Oracle Business Intelligence Server for installation.
   • If you are co-locating other BI components on this machine (for example, BI Scheduler) select the other desired components for installation.
3. On Windows machines, the Oracle BI Services screen is part of the installation.
   • Enter a domain account to run the BI services. Do not specify a LocalSystem account.
   • Select the start up type for the services—either manual or automatic.

The installed BI Servers will be configured to participate in the BI Cluster by setting parameters in the NQSConfig.INI and NQClusterConfig.INI files on each machine that hosts the BI Server.

NOTE:  For reference purposes, this topic assumes that two BI Servers have been installed on machines BI-SERVER-01 and BI-SERVER-02.
