Installing Oracle BI Ancillary Server Programs

Operating System: Windows only.

The Oracle Business Intelligence installation CD-ROM includes a folder named Server_Ancillary. This folder includes the following programs you might find necessary for your deployment of Oracle BI:

• IBM GSKit

  The GSKit utility IkeyMan is used to create a key database file, and store it under the Oracle BI configuration directory. For information on when and how to use GSKit, see the Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition Deployment Guide.

  NOTE:  GSKit is not required for ADSI authentication.

  The GSKit installation files are included on the Oracle Business Intelligence CD-ROM in the folder Server_Ancillary\IBM_GSK.

• Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher Desktop

  Oracle Business Intelligencee Publisher Desktop, a Windows application, is a design tool that allows you to create layouts for Oracle BI Publisher. The BI Publisher Desktop installation is included on the Oracle Business Intelligence CD-ROM in the folder Server_Ancillary\Oracle_Business_Intelligence_Publisher\BI_Publisher_Desktop.

  NOTE:  Oracle BI Publisher Desktop does not need to be installed for the XMLP server, nor does the XMLP server need to be installed for the Publisher Desktop. They are independent.

  This guide primarily explains how to install BI Publisher on application servers such as OC4J or Oracle Application Server. However, you can also deploy BI Publisher on other J2EE application servers, such as Tomcat or Websphere. To deploy BI Publisher with other J2EE application servers, use the instructions in the file Install.pdf provided with the files for more information. See also the topic Deploying BI Publisher with Other J2EE Application Servers.
