Fusion Middle ware BI 11 G Installation:-

I have been desperately looking for the new release of OBIEE 11g and wanted to see the
new feature of OBIEE 11g . It made me little disappointed when I came to know my 2
GB RAM Laptop is not meeting the minimum requirement , but I still decided to install
on my laptop DELL Latitude 5400 with below configuration.

Core2 duo 2.4 GHZ ,  2 GB of RAM

After complete installation,  services took little time to start up but once started the
performance of presentation services / Dashboard /Reports is awesome.

Note: – It recommends having atleast 4 GB of Ram to start with.

OBIEE 11g software can be downloaded from here –

Fusion Middle ware BI installation following steps:-

1. Install a database

Note :- I have installed Oracle 11g R1 for this purpose.


2. Use RCU( Repository creation Utility ) to create BIPLATFORM & MDS needed for
BI and Oracle Application server during installation.

With this release of 11gr1 ,RCU can be used to create schema for Oracle 9i /10g/11g ,
MS SQL server or IBM DB2 only.

Note :- I have used Oracle 11gr1 to create DEV_BIPLATFORM and DEV_MDS


schema.

3. Kick off Fusion middle ware installation.

Run the BI11g setup to start 11g installation.

Now I will start with the step by step installation of OBIEE 11GR1  :-

Pre installation, I have changed the virtual memory of system with (3000 – 6000) to rum

the installer smoothly. Step 1.


create BIPLATFORM and MDS schema using RCU(Repository creation utility).

1.Please unzip the optional software downloaded from OTN

ofm_rcu_win32_11.1.1.3.3_disk1_1of1.zip
Now navigate to \rcuHome\BIN and run rcu.bat .

2.In next screen batch file will open a java


app with pretty self explanatory screens.

Note:-  you can drop the schema using RCU if in case your installation did not happen
successful.
3. Here please provide the Host name , service name , user name and password for the
database. You need to have a user created with DBA privilege.
4. Here please select the metadata services (under AS common Schemas) and Business
Intelligence Platform (Under Oracle Business Intelligence). Name of schema would be
auto configured by RCU.
6. This screen will allow user to select the password for the schema created.
7. Once you provide the password the password for the schema the RCU wizard will
create the schema in the database. It will create a table space for the newly created
shema . You can also change the table space for the scema.
Once RCU creates the required schema and table spaces in database we are good to go
with OBIEE 11g Installion.

2. Installing OBIEE 11g fusion Middle ware.

Now navigate to unzip disk 1 and start the set up


There are 3 type of installation this release comes with.

Simple Install: – install Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition, Oracle Business
Intelligence Publisher, or Oracle Real-Time Decisions with the default settings on a
single computer in the minimum number of steps.

Enterprise Install: – install a new Oracle Business Intelligence system for a hosted
deployment on one or more computers. When you select the Enterprise Install type for a
new installation, Oracle Business Intelligence 11g Installer installs the Oracle Business
Intelligence components that you select, such as Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise
Edition, Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher, and Oracle Real-Time Decisions.

Software Only Install :- install software binary files in an Oracle home for later
configuration as part of a Fusion Middleware deployment.

It is recommended to go for Simple install for Single development machine. I have


installed both Simple Install and Enterprise install in two different machine. During
installation I figure out that simple install will give you error while configuration but
Enterprise install is a clean installation. So I would recommend going for Enterprise
installation if you are installing first time.
After selecting Enterprise Install the next screen will prompt for Password for Weblogic.
Here we are creating a new BI system with User specified parameters.
Next screen will prompt for Middle ware home . I have selected c:\Middleware for this
installation.
Next screen will prompt you which product we want to install.
Next Screen will prompt for DatabaseType , Connection string , BIPLATFORM Schema
and Password .

Connection string – Hostname : Port:database

BIPLATFORM Schema User Name – DEV_BIPLATFORM (created by RCU)

BIPLATFORM Schema password – ***** (created by RCU)


Next screen will prompt for configuring port.

 Port configuration for first time installation

If you are installing OBIEE 11g for the first time without any prior installation then select
“Auto port Configuration”

 Port configuration for existing OBIEE10g machine

if you are installing OBIEE 11g on the same machine where OBIEE 10g is already
installed then specify the ports using configuration file.

Note :- For this installation I already had previously installed OBIEE 10.1.3.4 in my
machine so I had to provide the configuration file for ports as OBIEE 10g also uses the
same port i.e.  9704,9703,9710 etc. If you are not providing the configuration file and
going for “Auto port configuration” in existing OBIEE 10g system then there are fair
chances of failure of OBIEE 11g installation.
Next screen is the summary of newly creating Oracle BI system.
Now when I click on next the installation and configuration will start and be patient it
will take lot of time depending upon the system configuration. It took 113 minutes for me
to complete the installation(can be seen in screen shot).
Now once installation 100 % complete please save the install_config log to local drive.
Once you click on finish the next window will open for OBIEE 11g Presentation
services.
Please user the username and the password as weblogic (used at installation time) .

Now i could see the flash enabled  exciting OBIEE 11g front end.:)
SO here i have OBIEE 11g with existing OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1

and services look like -
