Downloading the BDD media pack

After you set up the install machine, you can download the BDD media pack from the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud.

To download the media pack:

  1. Go to the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud and sign in.
  2. Accept the Export Restrictions.
  3. Check Programs if it isn't already.
  4. In the Product text box, enter Oracle Big Data Discovery.
  5. Click Select Platform and check Linux x86-64.
    Oracle Big Data Discovery displays in the Selected Products table.
  6. Click Continue.
  7. Verify that Available Release and Oracle Big Data Discovery 1.4.x.x.x for Linux x86-64 are both checked, then click Continue.
  8. Accept the Oracle Standard Terms and Restrictions and click Continue.
  9. In the File Download popup, click Download All.
    This downloads the following packages to your machine:
    • First of two parts of the Oracle Big Data Discovery binary
    • Second of two parts of the Oracle Big Data Discovery binary
    • Installer for Oracle Big Data Discovery
    • SDK for Oracle Big Data Discovery
    • Documentation for Oracle Big Data Discovery
    • Oracle Fusion Middleware 12c (12.1.3.0.0) WebLogic Server and Coherence
    You should also make a note of each file's part number, as you will need this information to identify it.
  10. Move the BDD installer, BDD binary, and WebLogic Server packages from the download location to the packages directory.
  11. Rename the first BDD binary package bdd1.zip and the second bdd2.zip.
    This ensures that the installer will recognize them.
  12. Extract the WebLogic Server package.
    This creates a file called fmw_12.1.3.0.0_wls.jar, which contains the WebLogic Server installer.
  13. Navigate back to the installation source directory and extract the installer package:
    unzip packages/<installer_package>.zip
    This creates a new directory within the installation source directory called installer, which contains the installer, bdd.conf, and other files required by the installer.

Next, you can download a WebLogic Server patch for the installer to apply. If you don't want to patch WebLogic Server, you should configure your BDD installation.
