Specify Inventory Location
The Essbase installer attempts to detect the inventory location for Fusion Middleware.
If the oraInst.loc
for Fusion Middleware isn't detected, you're prompted to provide the central inventory location in the Installation Inventory screen.

Some Oracle products may set a central inventory location in /etc
. If you have a central inventory location in /etc
, you may encounter an error during the installation.

If you encounter experience this error, you can explicitly specify the Fusion Middleware inventory location using the -invPtrLoc
argument to the installer.
For example, launch the installer as follows:
java -jar essbase-21.1.0.0.0-linux64.jar -invPtrLoc /scratch/username/essbase21c/oracle_home/oraInst.loc
