2.4 Importing the Export Bundle Using the BI 12c Configuration Assistant

You can use the Oracle BI 12c Configuration Assistant to reference the export bundle while configuring the 12c system if you have installed but have not configured the 12c system. Follow the procedure in this topic only if you are configuring the 12c system for the first time. However, if you have already configured the 12c system, you have the BI domain and BI Service instance created. Perform the procedure to import the export bundle using the BI Migration Script.

Note:

Oracle recommends that you use the Oracle BI 12c Configuration Assistant to configure your 12c system.

To import the export bundle using the Configuration Assistant:

1. Go to the bin directory using the following commands based on your operating system:
   Unix command:
   cd Oracle_home/bi/bin
   Windows command:
   cd Oracle_home\bi\bin
2. Start the Configuration Assistant using the following commands based on your operating system:
   Unix command:
   ./config.sh
   Windows command:
   config.cmd
   The Configuration Assistant starts and the Welcome screen is displayed.
3. Select the components to install and click Next.

   Note:

   The Configuration Assistant automatically adjusts your selection to ensure that consistent set of suites are deployed.
   • Essbase: Includes components such as Essbase Server, Cube Deployment Server, and Analytic Provider Services.
   • Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition: Includes components such as Presentation Services, Visual Analyzer, BI Composer, web services, proactive intelligence (Delivers and Actions), Web Services for SOA (WS4SOA), and Mobile Application Designer.
   • Business Intelligence Publisher: Includes Oracle BI Publisher.

   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.
