Configure Oracle Analytics Server Domain Using Configuration Assistant

Use the Configuration Assistant (.sh or .cmd file) to configure the Oracle Analytics Server domain.

If you are extending the WebLogic domain with Oracle Analytics Server by using the Configuration Assistant, make sure that the Administration Server for the domain is named AdminServer. Other names for the Administration Server aren't supported.

To configure Oracle Analytics Server on Oracle ATP, see Configure Oracle Analytics Server Domain on Oracle ATP.

For the list of databases supported by Oracle Analytics Server, see Certification - Supported Data Sources in Administering Oracle Analytics Server.

1. Change to the bi/bin directory.
   • (Linux) ORACLE_HOME/bi/bin
   • (Windows) ORACLE_HOME\bi\bin
2. Start the Configuration Assistant.
   • (Linux) ./config.sh
   • (Windows) config.cmd
3. Select the components to install and click Next.

   To ensure that a consistent set of suites are deployed, the Configuration Assistant automatically adjusts your selection.

   • Oracle Analytics Server: Includes components such as data visualization, analyses, dashboards and agents, and installs Oracle Analytics Server without Publisher.
   • Oracle Analytics Publisher: Includes Publisher for pixel-perfect reports. You can use this option to install standalone Publisher.

   Select both Oracle Analytics Server and Oracle Analytics Publisher components to install Oracle Analytics Server with Publisher.

4. On the Prerequisite Checks screen, after the prerequisite checks conclude with no errors, click Next.

   If any of the prerequisite checks fail, then a short error message appears at the bottom of the screen. Fix the error and click Rerun to try again. To ignore the error or warning messages and continue with the installation, click Skip, although this approach is not recommended.

   Note:

   The configuration might not function normally if you continue without resolving the issue that caused an error or warning message during the prerequisite checks.
5. On the Define New Domain screen, specify the following:
   • Enter the location where you want to set up the domain directory. The new domain is stored in a sub-directory with the same name as the domain.
   • Enter a name for the domain. You can use alphanumeric characters, underscores or hyphens.
   • Enter a username for the default system administrator. The username must not be blank and shouldn't exceed 30 characters.

     Note:

     This user is created in the embedded LDAP and is granted WebLogic Administrator permissions.
   • Enter a password for the system administrator. It must begin with a letter, include at least one number, and can contain alphanumeric, underscore, dollar sign, and pound sign characters.
   • Reenter the password to confirm. Domain Home is a read-only field derived from 'Domains Directory' and 'Domain Name'.
6. Click Next to proceed to the Database Schema screen. On this screen, click the appropriate option either to create a new schema or use an existing schema.
   • If you select to create a new schema, specify the following:

     Note:

     In this case, the Configuration Assistant creates a schema for you.
     1. Enter a unique schema prefix.
     2. Enter a password for your schema.
     3. Re-enter the password to confirm.
     4. Select the type of database to use from the list.
     5. Enter the username of the account that has privileges to create new schemas.
     6. Enter the password for the username.
     7. Enter the connect string based on the type of database you are using.
   • If you select to use an existing schema, specify the following:

     Note:

     In this case, you must create STB, BIPLATFORM, IAU, MDS, OPSS, and WLS schemas using the RCU.
     1. Select the type of database to use from the list.
     2. Enter the connect string based on the type of database you are using.
     3. Enter a unique schema prefix.
     4. Enter a password for your schema.
7. On the Port Management screen, specify the port range and click Next.

   Note:

   The default allocated port range is from 9500 to 9999, both inclusive. You can keep the default values or specify different values within this range.
8. On the Initial Content screen, select one of the following options, and click Next:
   • Existing export archive (.jar file) from a previous installation.

     Note:

     This option is applicable if you are migrating from Oracle BI 11g to Oracle Analytics Server. See Migrating and Upgrading Oracle Analytics Server.
   • Clean Installation (default).
9. On the Summary screen, verify the values that you specified on each screen.
   • Click Save to generate a response file used for silent installation (optional).
   • Click Configure.

     The configuration process starts and the Configuration Progress screen is displayed.

10. After the configuration concludes without any errors, click Next to go to the Configuration Complete screen.
11. On the Configuration Complete screen, review the configuration summary.
    • Click Save to save the information displayed on this screen in a file.
    • Click Finish to close the Configuration Assistant.

      The Oracle Analytics Server Application opens in the browser. Use the login credentials that you specified while configuring to sign in to the Home page of Oracle Analytics Server.

You have configured the standard Oracle Analytics Server topology. The Configuration Assistant automatically starts the newly configured Oracle Analytics Server instance after successful completion. However, if you want to restart a domain that has been shut down manually, start servers and processes. After successful configuration of Oracle Analytics Server, continue with the Edit Your Input File section. See Edit Your Input File.
