Installing and Configuring Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition
Installing and configuring Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition involves the following steps. For
detailed instructions on installing Oracle BI EE, see Oracle
Business Intelligence Infrastructure Installation and Configuration
Guide. For additional information about configuring clustering, see
Oracle BI EE Enterprise Deployment Guide.
Note -
The Oracle Solaris Cluster HA for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (HA for Oracle BI EE)
software can be configured to run in a zone cluster.
How to Install and Configure Oracle BI EE
-
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.
- (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:
-
Create a resource group for the failover component.
-
Create a LogicalHostName resource for the
failover component.
-
Create the highly available local file system.
-
Create an HAStoragePlus resource for the highly available local
file system.
-
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.
-
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.
