OBIEE 11g architecture & Installation

Hi all,
in OBIEE 10g I often distribute the BIServer on a different machine from the Presentation Server, to separate the component and scale out the system.
Is this still possible to do something similar in 11g, or we have to install BIServer & Presentation on the same server?
Which is the best practice to follow to install the BIEE11g on a production environment?
Regards,
Daniele

  • OBIEE 11g post installation tasks in Linux?

    Hi,
    Do I need to write any script for high availability of OBIEE and web logic servers in Linux? what are the processes to start/stop manually using command? Please give me post installation tasks I need to taken care of.
    Thanks
    Jay.

    Becky,
    You need not do any thing additional to have EM running in the OBI 11g instance. Although it is a deployed JEE application, if your Weblogic Server (WLS) is started and up and running then your EM Console should also be up and running.
    You say that you are doing everything from the command line. So, start the Weblogic Server then navigate to http://< your server name> : 7001/console
    If that comes up then go to
    http://<your server name>:7001/em
    That is your EM Fusion Console and it should come up as well.
    Don't mess with the XML file directly.

  • OBIEE 11g Scheduler installation error on Linux box. Please help!

    I've checked the configuration and there is nothing wrong with it, plus I have checked connectivity from the weblogic server and the Linux server to this. Also I do not have Enterprise edition everything I do is at console level in Linux.
    Please help. I've been trying to sort through this for a long time.

    am i missing any configuration? Or is it a bug in oracle OBIEE 11g? Can anyone guide me to resolve this issue.
    Much appreciate your answer

    Though this is little late for you but may help others.

  • Configuration issue related OBIEE 11G coreapplication_obips1

    Hi All,
    My issue is related to configuration of OBIEE 11g,
    My installation is successful on windows server 2003, with Enterprise Install
    but this coreapplication_obips1 is failing to configure anybody has any idea to resolve this,
    Why this error is coming,
    once I have uninstalled OBIEE 11g to resolve,
    Thanks to all experts

    Hi,
    Not sure about the behaviour in 11g, but we faced a similar issue in 10g while passing the presentation varaibles to detail report where main/detail report where coming from different subject areas. The behavior was a little unpredictable. To overcome this, we tried using request variable instead of presentation variable and it worked for us.
    You can give it a try by doing the same and see if it works for you.
    Thanks

  • Difference Between OBIEE 10g and OBIEE 11g

    Hi everyone,
    I have a doubt when choosing two versions of OBIEE, 10g and 11g.
    Actually, is there any big difference between 10g and 11 version ?
    From the point of view of easiness finding tutorial in internet, simplicity of using the tool, and other considerations, which one is better ?
    I hope you guys could also explain with your arguments.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Few differences..

    http://blogs.oracle.com/robreynolds/2010/07/new_administration_features_of.html
    I have a doubt when choosing two versions of OBIEE, 10g and 11g.If you are new to OBIEE its best to start with 10g,there are lot changes in 11g.It takes time to get used to it and you many not get enough docs or material to read,may face some new issues also.
    Actually, is there any big difference between 10g and 11 version ? Yes there are some differences between them...you can see them in above links.(many things like graphs,server)
    From the point of view of easiness finding tutorial in internet, simplicity of using the tool, and other considerations, which one is better ?For sure obiee 10g as 11g is new many of them just started using it,so you may get less help on this if you face issues & may not get enough tutorial in internet and OBIEE10g is bit easy to use.
    Its best to you go for OBIEE10g,parallely you can try 11g.

  • Error RCU-6083 during RCU installation prior to OBIEE 11g on Solaris

    Hello,
    I have an application server where I have an Oracle Database EE 11g running on Solaris 10 upgrade 9.
    The server has the following characteristics:
    - SUN V440
    - RAM 16GB
    - 2 processors Ultra Sparc III, 1.5GHz
    - OS: Solaris version 10
    - Disk space: 500GB
    - Oracle Weblogic Server 11g (10.3)
    - Ethernet 1 Gpbs
    I want to install the RCU schemas and OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.5.0) on this server so I verified all the pre-requisites for RCU and OBIEE and are OK.
    I am using the Repository Creation Utility (11.1.1.5.0) for Microsoft Windows (32-bit) to install the RCU because although the database is running on Solaris, the installer is not working through that server so I have a PC connected to the network and through that PC that has windows7 i could run the installer and connect to the db, using the SYSTEM user (because when i select sys as sysdba, although the password is correct, it doesn't connect to the db).
    However, the installer is sending the ERROR: RCU-6083 regarding the pre-requisites for the BIPLATFORM.
    I already use the following command alter system set processes=500 and restarted the db services, however the wizard installer is still sendig that error.
    What can be done to succesfully install the RCU?
    Thanks and regards,
    Rebeca

    Hello User,
    Below my comments in blue:-
    1) Do I need to install any Oracle DB (like to install 10g) prior to running rcu.bat file?
    Yes
    2) If I install Oracle 10g DB, does if create any compatibility issue while installing OBIEE 11g?
    Check below the compatibility matrix

  • Issue with OBIEE 11g(11.1.3) Installation

    I have installed OBIEE 11g last evening. I was able to connect to the dashboard and run a simple report also – all before shut down. Now when I try to access OBIEE 11g thru port :9704 after starting the BI services, I am getting the following error.
    “Error 404–Not Found
    From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol — HTTP/1.1:
    10.4.5 404 Not Found
    My Weblogic server is working fine but im not able to access EM or ANALYTICS.
    When I click Programs > OBI > Start BI Services it opens 3 wndows and says weblogic server is started and Im able to login to Weblogic server via “http://localhost:7001/console”.
    When i start my machine the following services are started automatically:
    1) Oracle WebLogic node Manager
    2) OracleDBConsole
    3) Oracle Service
    4) OracleOraDB11g_home2_TNSListener
    The following services are not started:
    1) OracleDB11g_home2_ClrAgent
    2) OracleJobScheduler
    3) Oracle Process Manager(instance1)
    4) Oracle VSS Writer Service
    can you pls let me know how to start the Weblogic Admin Server?
    I have even tried to reinstall and when the installation completes im able to login to “EM”, “weblogic” and “Analytics” also, but once i restart my machine im not able to login to “Analytics” as well as to “EM”.
    The process im following is:
    When i start the BI Services from Start->Programs->Oracle Business Intelligence->Start BI Services, i get a popup window where it asks for weglogic user and password, then i have entered the user as “weblogic” and has give the password entered at the time of installation, then 2 popups opens and it runs several java files, then im able to login to weblogic but no luck with “em” or “analytics”.
    If i try to login to weblogic and try to start the “bi.em”, “biadminservices” i get java error message.
    Even i dont get Oracle Logo on the Admin tool also.
    Can you pls let me know the repository password also as i have tried with “Admin123? but no luck.
    Every time when i do the installation im able to access all the services for the first time but once i restart the machine then only weblogic will be working.
    I have installed OBIEE 11.1.3 on Windows 7 Ultimate N(32 bit) OS with Oracle11g Database
    Pls let me know if im missing anything here?
    Appreciate your help

    This is a really basic question... but how much memory do you have, and how long have you waited for all the processes to load? On a Windows XP Virtual Machine with 3GB, I have waited 20 minutes before being able to access. And until then, you will see the error you have received.
    Just a thought...

    Thanks,

    Hi all,
    We are able to resolve the above issue with the below solution.
    Root cause of the issue:
    You may have a temp directory in the path C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Local Settings\Temp. You got the above mentioned exception because of the temp directory path having spaces_+ in it.
    Solution:
    1. Create a new directory called TEMP in a different location for ex: C:\TEMP
    2. Now, Right click on My computer --> Properties --> Advanced --> click on Environment Variables.
    3. You should be having TEMP and TMP as variables under user variables section pointing to the C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Local Settings\Temp path.
    4. Edit the TEMP and TMP variables and mention C:\TEMP in the variable value.
    5. Deinstall and re-install OBIEE 11g.
    Happy OBIEE 11g installation!!
    Thanks,

    increase permgen space like this:
    -XX:PermSize=256m
    -XX:MaxPermSize=256m
    If not try enabling permgen garbage collection with
    -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled -XX:+CMSPermGenSweepingEnabled

  • OBIEE 11g upgrade wizard & installation on linux 64bit

    Hi,
    Is it that on Linux 64 bit machine, i should install OBIEE 11g in "Software Only" mode, only then upgrade wizard works correctly, if i need to do "Software Only" should i be installing weblogic server independently? or at high level what are steps to be followed.
    Thanks,
    Sree

    Hi Sree,
    What you are mentioning here is relevant for Windows 64 bits environment where you have to install the software only after installing web logic standalone.
    The installer for Linux 64bit will install all the components for you except of course the RCU that you need to downlaod and install first.
    Please refer to this link for more details about the installation
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/bi.1111/e10539/c4_installing.htm#CIHDJGIH
    NB: Devlopement tools (Admin tool or catalog manager..) don't exisit for Linux, so you have to use windows for development
