You must install certain components before you can install Oracle BI Applications.
For the specific versions of the prerequisite products supported for this release of Oracle BI Applications, go to the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations page at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/fusion-certification-100350.html and see System Requirements and Supported Platforms.
Note:
When you run the Oracle Business Intelligence 11g installer, select the Software Only Install option. Ensure that you install WebLogic Server 10.3.6 before running the Oracle BI EE installer.
Topics:
The Business Analytics Applications Suite installer, which you run to install Oracle BI Applications, requires JDK version 1.6.0_35 or a version below JDK version 1.7.x or JRockit version 6u37 R28.2.5 or higher.
Oracle BI EE, WebLogic Server, and Oracle Data Integrator also require JDK and JRockit. For the supported versions, go to the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations page at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/fusion-certification-100350.html and see System Requirements and Supported Platforms. Make sure the version of JDK or JRockit you install meets the requirements for all products.
Note:
You must use the 64-bit version of JDK or JRockit to install on 64-bit systems. On Windows, the location of the JDK must be on the same drive as the installers.Oracle BI Applications requires WebLogic Server 11g Release 1 (10.3.6).
If you choose to install Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (Oracle BI EE) using the Software Only Install option, then you must install WebLogic Server 10.3.6 by following the instructions in Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle WebLogic Server 11g Release 1 (10.3.6).
Before installing Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition, you must run the Fusion Middleware Repository Creation Utility (RCU) to create the necessary schemas.
In the Select Components screen of the RCU, make sure you select the options to install the following schemas:
Metadata Services (appears under AS Common Schemas)
Make a note of the Metadata Services schema owner name and password. You will need these values when you run the configApps.bat or configApps.sh file to set up Oracle BI Applications.
Business Intelligence Platform (appears under Oracle Business Intelligence)
Caution:
Don't select the option to install the Oracle Data Integrator schema. You will install an Oracle BI Applications-specific ODI schema when you run the Business Analytics Applications Suite RCU.
For instructions on running the Fusion Middleware RCU, see Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition Installation and Upgrade Guide.
Oracle BI Applications requires an installation of Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition 11g deployed on WebLogic Server 10.3.6. (WebLogic Server 10.3.5 is not supported.)
When you run the Oracle Business Intelligence 11g installer, select the Software Only Install option. Ensure that you install WebLogic Server 10.3.6 before running the Oracle BI EE installer.
For instructions on installing WebLogic Server, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle WebLogic Server.
For instructions on installing Oracle BI EE, see Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition Installation and Upgrade Guide.
Note these points:
Oracle BI EE must be deployed on WebLogic. Websphere isn't supported for Oracle BI Applications.
The BI Domain should not be extended or scaled out before running the Business Analytics Applications Suite installer.
Installing Oracle BI EE using the Simple Install mode isn't supported.
Installing Oracle BI EE on Windows 32-bit and Linux 32-bit isn't supported for Oracle BI Applications.
If you are installing Oracle BI EE in Enterprise Install mode, on the Configure Components screen, for Oracle BI Applications 11.1.1.10.1, you must select the following four options:
Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition.
Business Intelligence Publisher.
Real-Time Decisions.
Essbase Suite.
Oracle BI Applications requires an installation of Oracle Data Integrator 11g.
For the specific version of Oracle Data Integrator that's supported for this release of Oracle BI Applications, go to the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations page at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/fusion-certification-100350.html and see System Requirements and Supported Platforms.
For detailed information on installing Oracle Data Integrator, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle Data Integrator.
Note these points:
Install the software only and do not perform any other configuration operation.
On the Oracle Data Integrator installer Welcome screen, ignore the message regarding creation of the Oracle Data Integrator Repository. You will create the Oracle Data Integrator Repository for Oracle BI Applications later when you run the Business Analytics Applications Suite RCU.
On the Select Installation Type screen, select all the components under Java EE Installation, that is, Java EE Agent, ODI Console, and Public Web Service.
On the Select Installation Type screen, if you also choose to install ODI Studio, then you must also select the ODI SDK option.
On the Specify Installation Locations screen, enter the Middleware Home where Oracle BI EE is installed. The installation of Oracle Data Integrator in other locations is not supported for BI Applications.
If you chose to install ODI Studio, then on the Repository Configuration screen, you must select the Skip Repository Configuration option.
