Integrating Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Editions (OBIEE) for Visualizations

You can create Oracle LSH Business Areas of type OBIEE to make data available to visualizations in OBIEE Answers. Definers can install the Administrator's Tool on their PC to develop more complex OBIEE Repository (.rpd) files to support more complex data visualizations. Users can then launch the Oracle Business Intelligence Dashboard either through Oracle LSH or through a URL to see data visualizations.

Note:

Additional configuration is required. See the chapter on Oracle Business Intelligence visualizations in the Oracle Life Sciences Data Hub System Administrator's Guide.

Oracle LSH supports using OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1 for both programs and visualizations and OBIEE 11.1.1.3.0, 11.1.1.5.0, 11.1.1.6.4, 11.1.1.7, or 11.1.1.7.131017 for visualizations only.

You can use both OBIEE 10g and OBIEE 11g for visualizations if you want. For example, if you are using Oracle Clinical Development Analytics you may want to dedicate one OBIEE installation to Oracle OCDA and have another for Oracle LSH OBIEE visualizations. You can install both on the same computer or different ones, but even if they are on the same computer Oracle recommends defining a different service location and services for each. You must install the DP Server on each machine where the Oracle BI Server is installed.

Do one of the following:

• Install OBIEE 11.1.1.x for Visualizations
  
• Install OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1 for Visualizations
  

Install OBIEE 11.1.1.x for Visualizations

Install OBIEE 10.1.3.41, 11.1.1.3.0, 11.1.1.5.0 or 11.1.1.6.4 to support visualizations as described in the following topics:

• Install OBIEE
  
• Install the Oracle LSH DP Server
  
• Set Up OBIEE Visualizations
  

Install OBIEE

Install Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition 11.1.1.x using Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) (E10539-01).

Note:

As noted in Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence 11g Release 1 (11.1.1), you need to install Oracle Fusion Middleware Repository Creation Utility 11g (11.1.1.3.3) before installing OBIEE 11g.

Install the Oracle LSH DP Server

You must install the Oracle LSH DP Server on the same machine; see Set Up the Distributed Processing Server.

Set Up OBIEE Visualizations

See Chapter 11, "Setting Up Oracle Business Intelligence Visualizations" in the Oracle Life Sciences Data Hub System Administrator's Guide, for instructions.

Install OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1 for Visualizations

Install Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition 10.1.3.4.1 to support OBIEE visualizations as described in the following topics:

• Install Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher 10.1.3.4.1
  
• Apply Patch 12613341
  
• Apply Patch 7642637 for Visualizations
  
• Install the Oracle LSH DP Server
  
• Set Up OBIEE Visualizations
  

Install Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher 10.1.3.4.1

Install Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition 10.1.3.4.1 using the Oracle® Business Intelligence Publisher Installation Guide Release 10.1.3.4.

Apply Patch 12613341

If you have not already done so, apply patch 12613341 to enable OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1 compatibility with Oracle LSH 2.4; see Install Oracle LSH 2.5.

Apply Patch 7642637 for Visualizations

If you plan to use OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1 for visualizations, apply patch 7642637.

Install the Oracle LSH DP Server

You must install the Oracle LSH DP Server on the same machine. See Set Up the Distributed Processing Server for details.

Set Up OBIEE Visualizations

See Chapter 11, "Setting Up Oracle Business Intelligence Visualizations" in the Oracle Life Sciences Data Hub System Administrator's Guide, for instructions.
