OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0 on windows vs Solaris

Question 1:I am trying to find out from the product user's & experienced audiences of any major problems/concerns of latest obiee 11g release on solaris as this being the first version in 11g series for solaris compared to windows,which is always supported.
Are there any such platform related issues which matter at all,apart from having the platform experience.
Question 2:What are the major considerations one should have while migrating from one platform to other.Are there any known technical limitations.
Appreciate any thoughts.
Thanks,
Sonpal

OBIEE 11.1.1.6 Instalaltion on Windows XP

Hi Experts,
Can we do OBIEE 11.1.1.6 Installation on Windows XP. . If not what windows version does it support.
Thanks
Venkat

Oracle will say it's not supported...but I've had no problems at all getting it running on a Windows XP 32 bit virtual machine....pretty much breaking every rule Oracle has about OBIEE certifications...
Hope this helps,

Dual Booting Windows and Solaris

Hi
how do i dual boot windows and solaris
Do i install windows first and then solaris or do it the other way around..?
how do i make sure that Windows and Solaris appear in my boot options..?
Is their a guide on doing this...?
Thanks
Liam

Hey I did a quick google search for you. So I havent tried this method myself but it sounds reasonable.
The text below is from the following link:
http://www.hccfl.edu/pollock/AUnix1/DualBoot.htm
"Solaris boot loader
Partition the drive to leave at least 2GB of space available for Solaris;
more drive space is desirable.
As with Linux, install Windows first then Solaris.
Do not use the Installation CD but boot and install
from Software CD 1.
If you accept the default partitioning scheme which
the installer provides you will soon run out of space in
your / and /usr partitions since only enough space is
allocated to install the system.
All extra space is allocated to /export/home.
A typical installation on a 4.5GB partition might look
something like this:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/dsk/c0d0s0 900M 536M 310M 64% /
/dev/dsk/c0d0s1 334M 109M 192M 36% /var
swap 671M 8.0k 671M 1% /var/run
swap 671M 8.0k 671M 1% /tmp
/dev/dsk/c0d0s5 845M 222M 565M 29% /opt
# (FAT32 partition):
/dev/dsk/c0d0p0:1 5.0G 3.3G 1.6G 66% /c
/dev/dsk/c0d0s7 1.1G 92M 954M 9% /export/home
/dev/dsk/c0d0s4 752M 225M 474M 33% /usr/local
The Solaris boot selector enables you to choose either
Solaris or Windows with Solaris as the default.
(I prefer grub or lilo!)
To mount FAT under Solaris:
# mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c0d0p0:c /dos (or �:1�?)
And the vfstab file:
/dev/dsk/c0d0p0:c - /dos pcfs - yes -
To create a GRUB boot floppy, follow these steps:
$ mkfs -t ext2 /dev/fd0
$ mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/fd0
$ mkdir /mnt/fd0/boot /mnt/fd0/boot/grub
$ cp /boot/grub/stage[12] /boot/grub/grub.conf \
> /mnt/fd0/boot/grub
$ /sbin/grub --batch <
Hope this helps!

How to call functions in windows or Solaris in servlet?

Hello,
Does anyone know if there is a way for servlets to call functions in windows or solaris shell command????
Thanks :)

Checkout the Runtime.exec family of methods.
I would think carefully if calling a shell script or batch file from a J2EE web component is something you really want to do though.

How to restart services in windows and solaris environment?

I need to start services running in windows and solaris platforms with java code. I have a fair idea how to do in C++ . So wondering if same can be done with java. .. Please help me out!
Thanx

you may also like to look at the wrapper project on source forge. It lets you set up services under any O/S with full control of the JVM that is running.
Btw my previous answer only helps you under MS, didn't notice that you wished to know how to do it under unix. If its a non-java service, you will need to determine what platform your on and then perform the appropriate action.

Order of installing Windows XP, Solaris & Red Hat Linux...

Hi all,
If I were to install Windows XP, Red Hat Linux & Solaris in intel dual core machine, in which order do I proceed to install. First Windows XP, then Solaris & Linux, I believe. Am I right. If not, please correct me.
Thanks,
...

Although posted under different title and content, your most recent thread
Windows and Solaris not booting on a Windows, Solaris and Linux Machine.
is actually the duplicate of this thread.
The right order of install is Windows XP, RHEL, Solaris. Because, if the Linux is the last installed OS, the Linux version of GRUB will be installed on the MBR (Master Boot Record), and you will not be able to boot Solaris. Why? Because the Linux GRUB doesn't currently recognize Solaris VTOC (Volume Table Of Contents) and UFS (Universal Disk Format File System) formats. Only the Solaris version of GRUB works as common loader for Solaris and Linux. Since you installed Linux as the last OS (as per your duplicated thread), you can try to chainload from the Linux GRUB by modifying the grub.conf on Linux, eg:
# cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
default=2
timeout=15
color white/blue black/cyan
title Windows XP
     rootnoverify (hd0,0)
     chainloader +1
title Solaris 5.10
     root (hd0,1)
     makeactive
     chainloader +1
     boot
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (2.6.9-78.0.1.el5)
     root (hd0,2)
     kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-78.0.1.el5 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
     initrd /initrd-2.6.9-78.0.1.el5.imgwhere
(hd0) is the first (bootable) BIOS physical disk, and GRUB boot loader is installed on its MBR
(hd0,0) is the first primary partition of the first BIOS disk - Windows XP
(hd0,1) is the second primary partition of the first BIOS disk - Solaris 5.10
(hd0,2) is the third primary partition of the first BIOS disk - RHEL-4
Modify this according to your real disk partition map if it's necessary.
If this doesn't work (at least it should work for Windows and Linux), then I suggest reinstalling all three OSs from the ground up. A year ago I successfully installed Windows Server 2003, RHEL-4.5 and Solaris 10 on single 250 GB physical disk. You can follow my procedure. Before that, boot the system with the first RHEL-4 installation CD, type "linux rescue" and press Enter. When linux console appears, delete all partitions using fdisk. Or, alternatively, type
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1024 count=2048This will erase your Master Boot Record and MBR Partition Table inside it, even much more filling out 2 MB continuous disk area with zeros. Restart the system, insert Windows installation media and start the procedure:
1. install Windows XP as the first OS. If it doesn't matter, create only one 25 GB C: drive on the entire primary partition rather than 10 GB C: and 15 GB D: drives, unless you are not sure Solaris had overwritten the D: drive on the extended partition
2. install RHEL-4 as the second OS. At this point you will be able to access Windows and RHEL-4 from GRUB. Boot RHEL-4 and navigate to /boot/grub/grub.conf. As you might need this information later, copy or make a note of the Linux entry on paper. The entry is something like this:
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (2.6.9-78.0.1.el5)
     root (hd0,1)
     kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-78.0.1.el5 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
     initrd /initrd-2.6.9-78.0.1.el5.img3. install Solaris 10 (SunOS 5.10) as the third OS. That way the Solaris version of GRUB will overwrite Linux GRUB in MBR and will be installed as the common loader for all three OSs. At this point your system might be set to boot all three operating systems. If not, you will be able to access the Solaris and Windows only. In that case boot Solaris, navigate to /boot/grub/menu.lst and add the Linux entry you copied from Linux grub.conf in the step 2. The next time you restart the system, you should be able to boot all three operating systems using Solaris version of GRUB.

Windows on Solaris

Hello! I would like to run Solaris as my main system. Sometimes I need to run Windows to do something. Any way to install Windows as virtual machine on Solaris? Vmware doesn't work. I need something to run Windows at reasonable speed...Don't want to do dual boot... Thank you.

Hi CicoMico
I'm not sure if this directly answers your question, but as far as I understand you're looking for an alternative to VMware to run Windows on Solaris.
Here are a few options that might be helpful to you..
Solaris has its own Virtualization capabilities, the following links explain more.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solaris_Containers
http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/utilization.jsp
http://www.sun.com/blueprints/
http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/ds/utilization.jsp
And I believe Xen can also be used on Solaris, the following links might be helpful as well (although it is more relavant to OpenSolaris)
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/xen/
Hope these links atleast point in the general direction you're looking at
:-)

Hi,
try to start manually by using opmnctl command...it shoud work if its not working try below steps
Method:1
While installing obiee11g keep it OPMN service type as "Manual" then install and confure it should work.
Method:2
Some installation issues can be caused by this known issue with your Windows configuration. Please review the OBI EE 11g Release Notes document : -
Section 53.2.8 Oracle BI Installer Stops at Administrator User Details Screen
configure a loopback adapter :

Change the ODBC driver with OCI driver in the connection pool. Download and install oracle instant client if you don't have any Oracle fat client on the machine where is OBIEE.
Good tutorial to install oracle instant client:

don't forget to restart all OBIEE services...

Webgate7.0.4, OBIEE, Apache 2.0.52, Weblogic10 on Windows

Integration of OBIEE, Apache 2.0.52, Weblogic10, Webgate 7.0.4 on Windows
I installed the following for this integration.
1. OBIEE (10.1.3.4.x) Installed on JAVA OC4J Container (but deployed to Weblogic)
2. Installed Weblogic 10 SSL enable (infrastructure)
3. Installed Apache 2.0.52 SSL enable
4. Installed Webgate 7.0.4
5. Created a User, group, policy via Access Manager…… (in the policy, I’m redirecting to the apache vs weblogic port – I want to hide the weblogic port)
Tested the Weblogic / Apache plugin and it works for ssl connecting to application on weblogic server. (This test was without webgate configured in the http.conf)
I also tested webgate ‘WITHOUT’ the weblogic plugin on a couple applications and it worked. (using the redirect in the Oracle Access Manager)
*****Now, I’m trying to integrate everything so I can use SSO with OBIEE.****
I configured BI according to OBIEE Deployment manual except for the portion of registering the BI as a Partner Application since I don’t have the ssoreg.bat or mod_osso.
****I’m using Webgate, how do I register BI as a Partner? Or do I have to?
I double checked the following, but how can I confirm the BI Server URL? Is it the port in the NQSConfig file?
<LogoffUrl>
http://<OAS10.1.2 URL>:7777/pls/orasso/orasso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_logout?p_done_url=http%3A%2F%<BI Server URL> :7779%2Fanalytics%2F

When I click on 'here' on the OBIEE screen it is taking over to SSO Screen and I see following error

I reviewed log files in Apache, WL, webgate, but nothing helped.
Any help is appreciated

I'm a few months away from having to do this in our development environment on our project and am just next week going to be starting on the tech arch for this. My understanding is that OSSO IS required. You will have to integrate OAM with OSSO in order to use OAM with OBIEE. You can find information regarding OAM / OSSO integration in the OAM 10.1.4.2 Integration guide. Let me know how it goes since I'll soon be tackling the same.

OBIEE 11.1.1.5 Install on Windows 7 64bit Clustered

Hello,
I am attempting to setup an Highly Available OBIEE install. I have a Windows Server 2003 R2 server with SAN storage for the network share using DFS in Active Directory.
As per http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E21764_01/bi.1111/e10539/c2_scenarios.htm#CHDHFGEI I am following this method:
"Install Oracle WebLogic Server and then perform a Software Only Install of Oracle Business Intelligence on two or more computers, as needed. Afterward, configure your system, such as by using the Configuration Assistant."
As per http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E21764_01/doc.1111/e14142/guimode.htm#i1082009 I downloaded the 64bit jar for weblogic and installed to the shared drive using a 64bit jvm. Though I had to use "-Dspace.detection=false" in order to avoid an error with the installer saying I had no space on my shared drive.
Now I am unclear as to how to proceed with the Software Only Install on multiple computers. What should the Oracle Middleware Home be for each of my servers - shared drive or local?

The JDK isn't installed to a shared drive, just weblogic is.
Apparently we cannot use the scaleout instructions provided in that link because we're in 64bit
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/bi.1111/e10539/c4_installing.htm#CEGEAJFC
Use the Software Only Install type to install Oracle Business Intelligence on an AIX operating system or with a 64-bit JVM, such as on a supported 64-bit operating system. For supported operating systems, refer to section 3.1 "System Requirements and Certification" of Platform Release Notes on Oracle Technology Network (http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation).
You must install Oracle WebLogic Server separately before initiating a Software Only Install or install Oracle Business Intelligence into an existing Middleware home that contains Oracle WebLogic Server. For more information on installing Oracle WebLogic Server, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle WebLogic Server.
To scale out your installation using the Software Only Install type on a shared network drive and with a shared Fusion Middleware home, you must specify the same domain home for all computers in your cluster. This can be accomplished by setting the same value in the Domain Home field in the Scale BI System Details screen of the Configuration Assistant. Using the same domain home for all computers in a scaled-out system with a shared Middleware home is required to start one or more managed servers within a domain through Node Manager.

Hi,
Refer:
http://obieeelegant.blogspot.com/2011/10/windows-7-home-premium-edition-is-not.html
go with win 7 ultimate version 64bit
other wise better to install virtual box then (install win 2008 R2 Enterprise version) this version no issues and working fine.
Note: Windows 7 home premium 64 bit ...tried to installed so many time "Presentation services filed to install"
and some time simple install option worked but when i reboot my PC then doesn't work. then i have OWC with my oracle support team then they confirmet "obiee11.1.1.5.0 not supporting win 7 home edititon"
refer: bi certification matrix.
