Installation Directory of OBIEE in linux

Hi all,
I am trying to install OBIEE on Linux server, by default the installtion directory will be
/usr/local/OracleBI
/usr/local/OracleBIData
Is that mandatory to install OBIEE under these directories or can i Install in any other directories like any mount point (/mnt/OracleBI)or under home directory (/home/Vinay/OracleBI) ?????
Thanks,
Vinay

If I recollect it correctly, you going to specify the location like /usr/Local.
So you can go for any location other than what Oracle suggested.

  • OBIEE on Linux 64 bit

    Has anyone had any success in installing OBIEE , DAC and Oracle BI Apps on Linux 64 bit? We are on Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4. We were able to install obiee 10.1.3.4.1 on this machine and start services successfully. We were able to also install the Informatica 8.1.1 (followed by SP5) on the same machine and start infaservice successfully. However, we are having issues installing the DAC 10.1.3.4.1 on this.
    We downloaded the DAC from edelivery.oracle.com for the Linux platform. The runInstaller from the base installation directory did not even launch and gave an error saying "Running 64 bit JVM is not supported". We found a "linux" directory under the base installation directory and a runInstaller there. We invoked this and was able to install the DAC successfully until the "oracleRoot.sh" screen. The oracleRoot.sh is failing since we don't seem to have the hasbind and hasexec files that the oracleRoot.sh is looking for. Anyone faced such issues?
    We tried to say OK and start the DAC components but it is failing due to server.properties missing from bifoundation/dac/conf location. Any thoughts/suggestions would be great.
    Thanks,
    Arun

    Okay, so after re-reading the BI Applications install documentation, it turns out that even though you can download the Linux install for the DAC, you actually are not at all supposed to install the DAC to a linux environment.
    Instead, you are only supposed to install DAC to Windows and then copy and paste the folders to the Linux server.
    This might be a rhetorical question, but why is there a linux install file for DAC available, if you are not supposed to use it?
    In fact the document "Data Warehouse Administration Console Installation, Configuration, and Upgrade Guide" (E12653-01), it clearly says for Unix/Linux you need to run the universal installer on the Linux server. It doesn't say anything about installing on windows and copying. Am I missing something here?
    Either way, the moral of this story is following the details outlined in the BI Applications installation guide and not the details in the DAC installation guide.

  • Why do we need write access to Java installation Directory

    We are Upgrading from Siebel Analytics 7.8 to OBIEE 10.1.3.4.
    As OBIEE needs Java 1.5 or higher as a pre-requisite we are planning to uninstall Java 1.4 and install latest version of Java 1.5.
    According to OBI Installation and Configuration Guide http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/b31765.pdf -> Page 39 "If you are installing using the Basic installation type, make the user or user group permissions
    writable for the user installing Oracle Business Intelligence, for all JDK 1.5.0 installation directories,
    subdirectories, and files". Can anybody let me know why we need write access to Java Installation Directory??
    Thanks,
    Chandra

    I had this same question and asked Oracle. Here's what I was told:
    Per Dev:
    "For OBI Presentation Services and OBI Publisher, jdk fonts files are copied into the JDK location because we do not bundle our own JDK. To ensure the install can do this you need to ensure that the Oracle BI installer has permissions to copy files to the specified JDK location.
    This means that if the same user who installer/untarred JDK is also installing Oracle BI, the install should work. In this case the the permissions of the JDK is probably 755.
    It will not work if a root user installs JDK and a normal user installs Oracle BI because the normal user does not have access to write to the JDK location or will not work if the JDK location is read-only, i.e. 444. In this case running chmod -R 777 will work."

  • Is there any way to create an installer for Mac OS and Linux OS once a stand alone application is created?

    Is there any way to create an installer for Mac OS and Linux OS once a stand alone application is created?  I have created an executable application that I want to distribute to Mac and Linux users (different applications were created in the respective OS).  I was wondering if there is any way to create an installer?  I think there probably isn't...  If the user were to simply download the Labview Run-time Engine from ni.com would they be able to run the application or is it more complicated than that?
    Thanks so much for your time.

    I think Shane tried to say, that it is on the Mac OS X installation DVD, NOT the LabVIEW for Mac OS X installation medium. And that could very well have changed in recent Mac OS X versions as well. They used to have Xcode on it too, but that seems gone as well.

  • Creative Cloud - BUG Changing Installation Directory for Apps

    I searched and could only find this similar post here
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/5498967#5498967
    Which stated the issue I am experiencing.  In the preferences of the creative cloud desktop program I changed the installation directory to D drive because I have my main hard drive partitioned and the programs would take up too much space on C.  Regardless of the change in preferences the applications were still installing to my C drive.  I tried restarting and reinstalling and nothing seemed to work. 
    Finally I decided to reallocate my D partition back to C, I have yet to complete this because I am waiting for all the data on D to be transferred to an external drive so I can recombine it to C without losing data ( I don't know if this is necessary, I haven't recombined partitions in the operating system before, but just to be safe)
    ANYWAY
    As I am waiting for the transfer (Over 120gbs takes a while)  I changed the installation directory in the Creative Cloud preferences back to C and went ahead and installed the program I was trying to prior to all this.  Guess What?  It installed to my D drive!!!
    This isn't a serious bug for me, just incredibly annoying and causing a lot of extra work on my part just to install the program I wanted.  However for someone who requires a different directory to install to and cannot rearrange their computer to accommodate this bug I could see it being more serious.  Has anyone else had this issue and did you find a solution?  Thanks.
    P.S. Adobe you rock, I hope your other CC programs don't feel rushed for release like your installer does

I'm betting you will just send the bill to collections for non payment. If so, you WILL be sued for non service and non delivery of product. And yes, I am ready to spend over xxxx on a suit vs adobe because of how you have treated me. The point is I know that I am not alone, and that's sad.
    Then after TECH NO SUPPORT, CSRs try to 'handle' me:
    If you do decide to cancel, we can refund your subscription.
    If you stay with the service, we can provide 2 free months as an apology for the technical difficulties. We cannot provide a free year.
    Please let me know which you would like to do.

  • Installation Directory BO/InstallData/InstallCache/ needs a lot of space

    HI together,
    maybe someone of you know a solution?
    We have installed a BO4.0 Enterprise Server, and we installed a lot of patches since now.
    The installation directory (BO/InstallData/InstallCache/) needs now a lot of space.
    Is it possible to reorganise this directory or is it possible to delete some files?
    Thanks in advance
    David

    Hi David Bartuli,
    Run Disk Cleanup you will get some space.
    Right click the drive Select Properties. Click Disk Cleanup....
    If you want to reduce the number of unnecessary files on your hard disk to free up disk space and help your computer run faster, use Disk Cleanup. It removes temporary files, empties the Recycle Bin, and removes a variety of system files and other items that you no longer need.

    Hi Gurus,
    I was trying to integrate Active directory into OBIEE 11g. Followed the Oracle documentation and Rittman Mead too but cannot get past a connection issue. I create a new provider,provide the connection details,use bissytemuser in AD as the Principal but when WLS is bounced/restarted, it fails to connect and throws the below error:
    "Cannot initialize identity store, cause: oracle.security.idm.ConfigurationException: javax.naming.CommunicationException: <hostname>:389 [Root exception is java.net.UnknownHostException: <hostname>]".
    Not sure if this makes a difference but admin and managed server come up but not analytics.
    Please help me out with scenarios to test if my bi server is connecting to AD or not?

  • Change the Standard Installation Directory of SMD Agent

    Hi Everyone,
    Standard Installation Directory of SMD Agnet is /usr/sap/SMD which I want to change & Install the SMD Agent

    I dont want maintain soft link way
    Is it possible , If yes then How ??
    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Deepak Gosain

    Dear Deepak Gosain
    Keep in mind that Diagnostics Agent 7.11 is the new version for SAP Solution Manager EHP1 > SP20. Depending on your current version of Solution Manager you might want to start installating the new version.
    The new version has it's own unique SID and acts like a SAP system: for example for stop/start it uses stopsap and startsap commands, instance profiles and SAP JVM instead of OS JVM.
    Structure in new version is /usr/sap/<SID>/SDMA<instance no> where SID needs to be unique (so not your existing SAP system SID).
    Kind regards

  • Sequence app with modify rights to installation directory

    Hey there
    I've got an application, where the user must have Change / Modify Rights to the Installation Directory. By Default, the Installation is installed in C:\Vendor\App1. If i just install the application locally the application can be launched without any
    problem.
    I tried to sequence the App with App-V 5.0 SP2 HF4 with PVAD "C:\Vendor1" and i selected the Option "Allow virtual application full write permissions to the virtual file System" on the Advanced Tab of the Sequencer. If i start the application
    i get an error that the database (Application is an Access addin) is only in read mode, and that the application can't get startet.
    Also i'm not able to manually add or modify rights in the Installation Directory.
    Have i missed something? Isn't the Option "Allow virtual application full write permissions..." for this case?
    Thank you in advance!
    Best regards, Simon

    In the first post I read it as you captured to PVAD, and in the post above you set it to VFS.  Did you do a second capture?  If not which are the files in?
    You can always run procmons, etc, to try to figure out what is going on.  The application can always be doing something 'weird', unfortunately its hard to give you a really solid solution with all the potential variables.
    You could upgrade to SP3, and resequence.  Beyond that, you could try going into the VE, and writing a dummy file to that DIR, to see if you get any permissions error.  Does the program put itself into PATH or anything like that?  If there
    are references to the C:\ProgramData location, its possible the program is trying to write to that folder, which is the outside folder you can't write to.
