Oracle BI Component Installation Options

The Oracle Business Intelligence infrastructure consists of servers, programs, and tools used to build Oracle Business Intelligence applications.

The Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition product includes an installer program that can install the complete Oracle BI suite, or one or more Oracle BI product components.

NOTE:  This Guide covers the installation of the Oracle Business Intelligence infrastructure components only. To install the Oracle Business Intelligence Applications components, see the Oracle Business Intelligence Applications Installation and Administration Guide.

The Oracle BI infrastructure components are shown in Table 3, along with the Installer Wizard option that installs them.

NOTE:  The installation options are called Setup Type in the installer.

Before beginning any installation, you should determine the configuration settings for each of the installation options. The configuration settings are on the CD, in the installation setup folders:

• \Server\Oracle_Business_Intelligence\Config\OracleBI_HOME
• \Server\Oracle_Business_Intelligence\Config\OracleBIData_HOME

For specific types of installation, there can also be additional topics in this Guide:

• ODBC clients only on remotely-connected laptop computers

  See also the following topics:

  • Installing Oracle BI Open Intelligence Interface
• Deployment in languages other than English

  See also Localizing Oracle Business Intelligence Deployments.

• Oracle BI Publisher Reporting Tool

  Oracle BI Publisher is deployed in either standalone OC4J or Oracle Application Server, depending on your installer choices. However, you can also deploy BI Publisher on other J2EE application servers, such as Tomcat or Websphere. The xmlpserver.ear and xmlpserver.war files are provided on the Oracle BI EE installer CD-ROM or network, in the following locations:

  • Server_Ancillary\Oracle_Business_Intelligence_Publisher\generic\xmlpserver.war
  • Server_Ancillary\Oracle_Business_Intelligence_Publisher\oc4j\xmlpserver.ear
