Bookshelf v10.1.3.2: Installing Third-Party Products

Before you run the Oracle Business Intelligence installer, you should have completed the third-party software installations shown in Table 7. The number of third-party components required to be installed or configured depends on the details of your particular deployment. Third-party software documentation is available from the third-party vendor (such as Java from Sun Microsystems and MDAC from Microsoft Corporation). In some cases, such as Oracle Application Server 10g and application server components, the documentation is available from Oracle Technology Network.

Table 7. Third-Party Installations Required for Installing Oracle Business Intelligence
Component Installation	Notes
Java SDK 1.5.0 or higher CAUTION: Before you run the Oracle Business Intelligence installer using the Basic installation type, Java SDK must be installed. Otherwise, key components will fail to work.	Java must be installed on the same machine on which you are installing Oracle Business Intelligence. NOTE: You need this information during the installation. Make a note of the directory where Java is installed. For example, /usr/j2sdk1.5.0_04.
Database connectivity software that Oracle BI servers use to connect to the database.	See the System Requirements and Supported Platforms for supported database connectivity software. For example, If the Oracle BI Server is to access an Oracle Database, install the Oracle 10g client. If the Oracle BI Server is to access MS SQL Server database, install Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC). If MDAC is not on your system, install it using the procedure in the topic Installing MDAC.
Integration Web Server for Oracle BI Presentation Services	Depending on your requirements, you might need to install an integration Web server before you install Oracle BI Presentation Services. If you are deploying on IIS, install IIS before running the Oracle BI Installer.
