How to Install and Configure Oracle BI EE

Language:

Create an Oracle Solaris user to own the software installation, for example, user obiee, group obiee.
Set the maximum number of files that a process can open to 10,240.
Use the projmod command to alter the setting for the default project, for example. If the resource group or resource is bound to a different project, then that project definition also requires updating.
```
$ cat /etc/project
system:0::::
user.root:1::::
noproject:2::::
default:3::::process.max-file-descriptor=(priv,10240,deny)
group.staff:10::::
```
Download the Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition and WebLogic software bundles from the Oracle download site.
Note - This data service supports the Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (Oracle BI EE) software running only on SPARC systems. For information about supported versions, see Oracle Solaris Cluster 4 Compatibility Guide.
The instructions in this section assume that you are using Oracle WebLogic Server with Oracle BI EE. Other web servers are supported, but are not documented in this guide.
(Optional) Install the Oracle WebLogic Server software.
For more information, see the Oracle WebLogic Server installation guide.
Extract (unzip) the Oracle BI EE software into a temporary location (for example, /download).
Go to the Solaris/Server/Oracle_Business_Intelligence subdirectory of the location into which the Oracle BI EE software was extracted.
(Optional) If you plan to run a failover configuration, configure Oracle Solaris Cluster software for the failover component:
1. Create a resource group for the failover component.
2. Create a LogicalHostName resource for the failover component.
3. Create the highly available local file system.
4. Create an HAStoragePlus resource for the highly available local file system.
5. Bring the resource group online.
For detailed information about these steps, see the appropriate failover configuration section.
Run the UnixChk.sh shell script and specify the intended installation directory for the Oracle BI EE software.
- For a failover configuration, use a command similar to the following example:
```
$ ./UnixChk.sh /failover/obiee
SUCCESS!! - This machine is configured for Oracle BI EE 10.1.3.4
```
- For a multi-master configuration, use a command similar to the following example where the path points to a local disk:
```
$ ./UnixChk.sh /export/home/obiee
SUCCESS!! - This machine is configured for Oracle BI EE 10.1.3.4
```
Set the DISPLAY environment variable if required, then run the setup.sh script.
Specify the installation and data directory names.
- For a failover configuration, the directories should both be on a highly available local file system.
- For a multi-master configuration, the directories should be on a local file system.
Select the Oracle BI EE Presentation Services or BI Server installation option depending on which tier is being installed.
Type the path to the JDK directory and provide a password for oc4jadmin.
Note - This information is important only if you are using Oracle Containers for Java. If you are using Oracle WebLogic Server, it does not matter what you enter in this step and you should stop the oc4j process after installation finishes.
If you are using Oracle WebLogic Server, when the installation completes, go to the setup directory and shut down oc4j.
Note - The port number might vary from what is shown in the following example.
```
$ cd /failover/obiee/OracleBI/setup
$ ./oc4j -shutdown -port 23791 -password password-supplied
```
Install the ORCLscobiee package.
