Is there a specific differences doing obiee 11g setup on Linux Vs Windows?

Hi,
I did setup obiee 11.1.1.6 on windows 7 64 bit and upgraded RPD and webcat. now I need to do it on Linux environment. Is there a specific differences doing setup on Linux? do I need to update host file and configure loopback adapter in Linuc as well? please provide detail differences or settings I need to follow.
appreciate for your help.
Thanks
Jay.

I dont think any specific for Linux.
Make sure you take care these in profile file
ORACLE_HOME
TNS_ADMIN
PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Pls mark correct or helpful if helps

Two questions related to OBIEE 11g setup in Linux

Hi,
1.Do we need to setup JDK 1.6 and above before installing OBIEE? as per below post OBIEE uses it's own JDK.
OBIEE 11g on Windows 7 (64 bit)
2. Do we need to configure DHCP loopback adapter in Linux as well as we do in windows? If Yes how can I do it in Linux?
Please let me know the answers ASAP.
Thanks
Jay.

Hi Jay,
1.Do we need to setup JDK 1.6 and above before installing OBIEE?Not required
2. Do we need to configure DHCP loopback adapter in Linux as well as we do in windows? If Yes how can I do it in Linux?On Linux x86 operating systems, configure the host to resolve host names to the loopback IP address by modifying the /etc/hosts file to contain the following entries:
127.0.0.1 hostname.domainname hostname
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
After doing so, check that the host name resolves to the loopback IP address by entering the following command:
/bin/ping hostname.domainname

Does obiee 11g supports XSL format

Dears,
Does Obiee 11g supports XSL style sheet files? Some of the legacy reports are using data which are pulled from the database and formatted via XSL and some are generated from XML/XSL files?
I have looked at XML connection pool, it only supports importing XML format as source file.May be I am wrong? I do not have great hands on BI publisher.
Thanks,
Uday

Hi Uday,
If I understand correctly, XSLT is mostly about parsing through the XML and presenting it to the user in some format with colors,fonts etc (Just like CSS).
So in case of OBI,
1.It can read the data from the source XML documents itself (Doing the job like of XSL Parser)
2. Present to the users in the format you need (Doing the job of XSL Renderer).
So, you just give BI the source data in the form of XML, design the metadata as per your business needs and the OBI Presentation Services component can do the job of presenting.
Hope this gives you some idea of BI just working like XSL.
Thank you,
Dhar

Fail installing OBIEE 11g on Oracle Linux 5 64 bits

Hello,
I am trying to install OBIEE 11g over Oracle Linux 5 (64 bits), but I can't. I have the following issue:
INST-07008: Validation of Oracle Home location failed. User does not have permission to create home/instance location
INST-07282: Specified Middleware home location does not exist
In the Oracle Middleware Home, I have specified "/root/Oracle/Middleware".
I have following these steps:
1) Install Oracle DB 11g R2 (OK)
2) Install jdk for Linux 64 bits (OK)
3) Install weblogic
I have done the installation as "root" user
Middleware Home Directory = /root/oracle/Middleware (OK)
4) Install RCU as root (OK)
5) Install OBI 11g
To execute ./runInstaller it is necessary be as oracle user.
I have changed permissions in /root/Oracle/Middleware (chmod 777), but the issue is the same.
I appreciate any idea to solve the issue.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Monica.

Hello,
no, I have installed OBIEE as oracle user with software only option, with root isn't possible.
So, I don't know if it is necessary I installed WebLogic as oracle user to have permission in middleware path...

Hi,
Have you try to increase MaxPermSize, it may occure memory issue.
change the Middleware/ORACLE_BI1/oui/oraparam.ini and fine it like below
JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=" -mx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m" then try to change it
JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=" -mx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=2048m"
(i.e:It will increase the numbers for allocating more memory) then save it and then try to run config.bat (software only/enterprise) method and configure it.
Thanks

Shell script for running obiee 11g services in linux

Hi
We have a requirement to create a shell script inorder to run OBIEE 11G services in Linux OS. It would be very helpful and greatly appreciated if any pointer(s)/documentation on this is provided.
Thanks

we had run the scripts using nohup "nohup ./startWeblogicServer.sh &" and reopened putty to run other nodemanager and opmnctl scripts, now everything has started and working fine.
Thanks all..

Organizational Chart with specific colors in OBIEE 11g

Hi Gurus,
How to create organizational chart in OBIEE? I tried to follow this link Oracle Business Intelligence by Sandeep Venu: Google Organization Chart in OBIEE 11G
but can't find out how to make specific chart (example chart of manager position) have a red color, the director chart have a green color.
Please help
Regards
JOE

This requirement sounds like it has a possible solution with some html coding. My idea is to :
1) Create a dashboard with two pages.
2) In the first page, create an iframe of the first dashboard.
3) In the second page, create an iframe of the second dashboard.
4) Customize the second dashboard page to have the custom background color.
Please refer to this link on how to customize the dashboard pages: http://www.appsassociates.com/resources/presentations/AA_OBIEE_Customizing_Dashboard_Appearance_NEOAUG_Fall09.pdf
Please assign points if helpful.
Thank you,
-Amith.

OBIEE 11g 64-bit install on Windows 64-bit

I wanted to solicit any experiences that the user forum is having with installing 11g on a 64-bit Windows platform. I understand that the Admintool/Job Manager will not run with the 64-bit installation package but we can install the newly released Client install to circumvent this. I am seeing many forums out there in which the 64-bit OBIEE install is done as Simple or Enterprise. My understanding is that this is useless as the bundled WebLogic utilizes at 32-bit JVM. There is a Doc ID out on Metalink (ID 1220564.1) that states one can only do a Software Install. So we have proceeded with the following steps of downloading first the Java 64-bit JVM, then a WebLogic instance utilizing the 64-bit JVM (java -D64 -jar xxx.jar) and finally the OBIEE Software Only install.
The issue we are running into is that the Install fails when attempting to start the OPMN. So during the install the "Executing:opmnctl start coreapplication_obips1
" fails and references the OPMN not starting. We are unable to start the OPMN service as well. We have a static IP, so this not the known issue with the loopback adapter. The other issue I saw was having to install the VC++ 2005 SP1 libraries per another Metalink Doc ID (1226254.1). This was all done, however, the install continues to fail.
It seems the lack of knowledge from support as well as the vague/lack of documentation is frustrating. I just wanted to ping the OTN community around this scenario.

Thanks Paul, really appreciate the update. Spent this morning rebuilding our environment with 64-bit (Win 2008) and starting from scratch. The install has now succeeded. I tell you one thing you pointed out is something we noticed when we proceeded with the second install. That was the WebLogic version. I had initially used .4 and on the second install we used .3. I am guessing that this may have been the issue.
I will verify with our Oracle resources and I hope this post will assist other when doing the 64-bit install as I think it is very vague in the documentation.
I will update the post with Oracles response as well.
Just as an FYI... the reason this issue came up in the first place was we did an Enteprise Install on 64-bit and found that the Gauge Charts weren't working in the SampleAppLite Subject Area. So I will add that to the Tags for this post.
Hope this post helps others and they don't go through the headaches of a wrong install type.

Running OBIEE 11g services for Linux

Hi everybody,
I would like to know the way to start OBIEE 11g services in a Linux (Red Hat) machine.
As far as I have seen in the web, there are four main steps to perform in order to make OBIEE running:
Run WebLogic.
Run NodeManager.
Run ManagedServer.
Run OBI Components (using OPMN).
The problem I have is that in our installation there is no ManagedServer (bi_server1). Therefore I deduce that OBIEE was installed as simple version (actually I don’t know where I can see whether it is simple or enterprise version). So the question in my case is: how to run OBIEE services without ManagedServer? Otherwise, is there any way to upgrade from simple to enterprise version, or I should just uninstall and then install the enterprise version?
Thanks in advance,
Hibai.

Thanks for the reply Sasi. Now I know that we have a Simple Installation.
Anyway, I'm still not able to make OBIEE available. If I execute the commands you provided me, I see some errors in corresponding created files. However, running them without nohup option and without any other parameter (just the .sh file), WebLogic appears available and OBI components seem to be running as well:

Am I doing something wrong? In principle the steps you mentioned (which are also those ones that I was executing the previous days) have been executed properly, so I'm a bit confused.
Thanks again,

Starting OBIEE 11g services in Linux

Hi Gurus,
I have installed OBIEE 11g on Linux 32 bit machine, Procedure i used to follow to start the services, using putty:
1. Run ./startWeblogic.sh after it comes to running mode, it comes back to $
2. After it returns to $, i start nodeManager.sh
but now, after i do the first step from putty, though running mode has come, it is not coming back to $ where i can start the node manager, hence i am unable to start node manager from the $ console
Is this a server problem? pls help..
I did Ctrl+c and tried starting startWeblogic.sh again, but its again stopping at running mode and not returning to $
Kindly advice what can be done
Thanks,
Sree.

we had run the scripts using nohup "nohup ./startWeblogicServer.sh &" and reopened putty to run other nodemanager and opmnctl scripts, now everything has started and working fine.
Thanks all..

OBIEE 11g as a service in windows

Here are the steps to configure OBIEE 11g as windows service.
Admin server and bi server needs to be configured as service.
Create boot.properties files with weblogic admin username and password in security folder.
Here are the changes I made to make it work. I created two copies of installsvc.cmd file in wls_home/server/bin and renamed them to be used in scripts and make changes.
One for admin server and other for node manager (bi server).
cmd file for admin server.
SETLOCAL
set DOMAIN_NAME=bifoundation_domain
set USERDOMAIN_HOME=D:\BI\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain
set SERVER_NAME=AdminServer
set MEM_ARGS=-Xms256m -Xmx512m
cd %USERDOMAIN_HOME%
call %USERDOMAIN_HOME%\bin\setDomainEnv.cmd
call "D:\BI\wlserver_10.3\server\bin\installSvc_Admin.cmd" --see comment below.
ENDLOCAL
Added delay parameter.(it is in milliseconds)
rem *** Install the service
"%WL_HOME%\server\bin\beasvc" -install -svcname:"beasvc %DOMAIN_NAME%_%SERVER_NAME%" -delay:120000 -javahome:"%JAVA_HOME%" -execdir:"%USERDOMAIN_HOME%" -maxconnectretries:"%MAX_CONNECT_RETRIES%" -host:"%HOST%" -port:"%PORT%" -extrapath:"%EXTRAPATH%" -password:"%WLS_PW%" -cmdline:%CMDLINE%
CMD file to start BI server and make it wait for the admin server to come up.
SETLOCAL
set DOMAIN_NAME=bifoundation_domain
set USERDOMAIN_HOME=D:\BI\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain
set ORACLE_BI_HOME=d:\BI\Oracle_BI1
set SERVER_NAME=bi_server1
set PRODUCTION_MODE=true
set ADMIN_URL=t3://hostname:7001 - if you are using ssl it is should be t3s
set MEM_ARGS=-Xms256m -Xmx512m
cd %USERDOMAIN_HOME%
call %USERDOMAIN_HOME%\bin\setDomainEnv.cmd
call "D:\BI\wlserver_10.3\server\bin\install_OBIEE_Svc.cmd"
ENDLOCAL
In install_OBIEE_Svc.cmd (copy of installsvc.cmd) file added dependency and delay parameter
rem *** Install the service
"%WL_HOME%\server\bin\beasvc" -install -svcname:"beasvc %DOMAIN_NAME%_%SERVER_NAME%" -dependency:"beasvc bifoundation_domain_AdminServer" -delay:12000 -javahome:"%JAVA_HOME%" -execdir:"%USERDOMAIN_HOME%" -maxconnectretries:"%MAX_CONNECT_RETRIES%" -host:"%HOST%" -port:"%PORT%" -extrapath:"%EXTRAPATH%" -password:"%WLS_PW%" -cmdline:%CMDLINE%
I have tested it and it works.
Provide feed back to this thread, works or fails. This allows me to update the comments with solution to any problem faced.

Hi
Have managed to run oc4j as a service as follows under xp pro
Download runexescv from http://www.judoscript.com/goodies/index.html
Unpack and run
Create service say OracleOc4j
Needs basic parameters setup
Cmdline and Home
My setup is
debug=false
cmdline=c:\ora9ias\jdk\bin\java - Dorg.omg.CORBA. ORBClass=com.inprise.vbroker.orb.ORB -Dorg.omg.CORBA.ORBSingletonClass=com.inprise.vbroker.orb.ORB -Doracle.security.jazn.config=c:\ora9ias\j2ee\Oracle9iDS\config\jazn.xml -Doracle.home=c:\ora9ias -DORACLE_HOME=c:\ora9ias -jar c:\ora9ias\j2ee\home\oc4j.jar -userThreads -config c:\ora9ias\j2ee\Oracle9iDS\config\server.xml
( all from startinst.bat )
home=C:\ora9ias\j2ee\home\
Save and close
Oracleoc4j will now be set up as service
Change service to auto and start service !!
Appears to be neat and easy way of setting up an OC4J service

Installing two OBIEE 11g instances in a single windows machine

Dear Experts
As a part of one of the client requirements , I need to install and configure two instances of OBIEE11g in a single windows server 2003.
Is it possible , and if you could let know how to achieve that. Here I mean would I be able to run two rpd 's and catalogs. Can I use differnt port and differnt weblogic domain for the same.
Pls. respond..
Regds

Hi,
Yes ofcourse, we can have two instances on the same machine. However, we need to make sure that they do not conflict each other for the ports/node manager etc. Apart from this, I understand that you have to obey to some restrictions too here.
1. Starting/Stopping BI Components needs to have a variable BI_SERVER_HOME set in the system. Now that you have two homes, I think you cannot set this. However, you can still start/stop BI Services through command line.
May be others can add in their opinion here.
Thank you,
Dhar

Is there a specific differences doing obiee 11g setup on Linux Vs Windows?
