In the previous post I have posted the steps RCU installation. We can take this as a continuation of that post. Please follow all the prerequisites before going to Install BI 11g system.
Note that the examples in this article assume that you have given this environment the host name
Sagar-PC, so if you can change the host-name to this, it will make the examples easier for you to follow.
Note:
Make you IP Address static:
Configure the Windows environment to use the Microsoft Loopback / Network adapter to set your IP static, and edit the "hosts" file to resolve the machine name to the loop-back adapter's IP address by following these steps.
If you don't know how to install and configure Microsoft Loopback adapter, refer this link.
Installing Microsoft Loopback Adapter on Windows 7 machine
After this step, simply restart your system to reflect your changes. (Mandatory)
Download the OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.7.0) from Oracle eDelivery or from the below link:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-enterprise-edition/downloads/bi-downloads-1923016.html
If you have not done already, please download BI 11g installation files. Please make sure all the zipped files have downloaded correctly and unzipped into a single folder. Make sure that, no spaces are there in the folder path where setup files are located. For this practice, the path is "E:\OBIEE-11.1.1.7.0\OBIEE\bishiphome".
From unzipped folder for OBIEE installer, go to Disk1 and start the installation by double clicking on setup.exe to launch Oracle Universal Installer. OBIEE 11g is also just like other Oracle products, uses standardized Universal Installer.
Oracle Universal Installer will be launched and It will come to the first step screen.
Step 1. Oracle Universal Installer will start the OBIEE 11g setup screen. Click '
Next' with the below screen.
Step 2. In this step we have to select Software Updates option. If We are having oracle support id then we can select second option or if you are having update files in any directory we can go with third option. I have selected '
Skip Software Updates' and clicked '
Next'.
Step 3. We will use Enterprise Installation type so that we can take the full advantage of OBIEE 11g components and the Installer will install and configure all the required components with default settings. Make sure to select
'Enterprise Install' and click '
Next' to continue.
Step 4. '
Next' to continue the installation once the prerequisite is checked wit this screen.
Step 5. In this step, we are creating '
New BI System'. Select second option if you want the scale out the existing BI System.
User Name:
weblogic
User Password:
Password123
Conf Password:
Password123
Give the above credentials in the boxes of below screen and click '
Next' to continue the installation.
Step 6. Create an empty folder in any of the driver where you want to install the BI System and select that folder with the below screen to create BI System folder in it. Here, just provide location for 'Oracle Middleware Home Location', it will automatically create various folders within the provided location.
Just click '
Yes' to the following warning.
Step 7. Select the appropriate components from the available options. (If you are planning to install '
Oracle Business Intelligence Applications' (OBIA) also, then you must select the following four options.)
Step 8. In this step we have to give the details of RCU schemas. Select appropriate database type and give all other details to go to next screen. I have installed RCU in Oracle Database.
So the detail is like below:
Database Type:
Oracle Database
Connection string:
localhost:1521:orcl
BIPLATFORM Schema:
DEV_BIPLATFORM
BIPLATFORM Password:
password
(* This is the password you have set while installing RCU.
Make sure, your database is open and started.)
Give the above mentioned details with the below screen and Click '
Next'.
Step 9. This step is same like above step but we have to give MDS Schema details.
Database Type:
Oracle Database
Connection string:
localhost:1521:orcl
BIPLATFORM Schema:
DEV_MDS
BIPLATFORM Password:
password
Give the above mentioned details with the below screen and Click 'Next'.
Note: If you had selected the options for
'Use same Passwords for all schemas' while creating RCU, then it will automatically import all this information for the DEV_MDS schema.
Step 10. If you are installing BI in your machine first time and do not have any BI system before this, then Select first option 'Auto Port configuration' and Click '
Next'
But if you are having any other OBIEE versions running on same machine, then, to avoid the port number conflict select second option '
Specify Ports using Configuration file'.
Here, I have installed with the default port numbers.
Step 11. In this step It will ask for an email address for security updates.
Deselected check box from My oracle support, so It will give small screen which will ask for confirmation.
Click
Yes.
Step 12. This step will give the overview of BI system which is going to create. If you want, Click 'Save' Button and save the details in a text file and store it for future purpose. After that click '
Install'.
Step 13. This step will copy and Install all the necessary files from source folder into BI folder.
After the successful 100% installation progress with the above step, It will come to this step automatically for configuration of all those components.
Step 14. Click '
Next' with this step after the configuration is 100% complete.
Step 15. After the successful completion of above step we are coming to final step of OBIEE 11g installation. Click '
Finish'.
With the above step the installation of OBIEE 11g is completed.
Go to Start -> All Programs -> Oracle BI Intelligence -> Start BI Services.
Open any browser and type: 'http://machine_name:9704/analytics' to play with Oracle Answers and Dashboard.
Enter the credentials as what we installed at the time of installations.
In this practice, Username: weblogic
Password: Password123
Now we are ready to play with BI 11g system.
