You must configure your data sources to work with Oracle Business Intelligence. This process is part of the Roadmap for Configuring Oracle BI Infrastructure Components.

After the Oracle Business Intelligence installer is finished with the installation, there are a number of additional tasks you must complete in order to properly configure Oracle BI Server components. The number of postinstallation data source configuration tasks you must complete depends on the following factors:

• The number and types of database platforms you are using
• The complexity of your network setup
• Whether or not your deployment is localized

For example, if you are installing only one DBMS on the Oracle Business Intelligence platform, you have fewer configuration tasks to perform than if you are installing Oracle BI to work with an operational application using an Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse, deploying several DBMS, or using one or more localized languages.
