1. If the Specify Inventory Directory window appears, accept the default values.

   Parameter	Default value
   Inventory Directory	/home/oracle/oraInventory

2. Click Next on the Welcome screen.
3. On the Install Software Updates screen, select Skip Software Updates and click Next.

   Note:

   If the operating system certification test fails, the test skips the next three checks even though it marks them with an X. This can happen even on systems with the latest glibc version. If necessary, run yum update glibc to update your version of glibc.

   

6. Browse to the OracleMiddleWare directory you created.

   

7. Create a password for the WebLogic account and click Next.

   

   Note:

   The user name and password provided is used after installation to register and to sign in to BI Publisher at the URL: <server_name_or_ip>:7001/xmlpserver.
8. Select only Business Intelligence Publisher.

   

9. Fill in the BIPLATFORM Schema and MDS Schema screens with the following values.

10. In the Specify Security Updates screen, enter your email address and click Next.
11. On the Summary screen, click Install.

    Note:

    You may see error pop-up messages appear during the installation because software updates were skipped in a previous step. Click OK in these messages to continue the installation.

13. Click Finish.
