OBIEE 11g Software only installation on Linux-64

Hi All,
I have installed Weblogic10.3 on linux-64 system and then installed OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0 software only installation in the same middleware(as cerated by weblogic)on the same linux-64 system.
So far so good.
Now i am able to see wlserver, Oracl_BI1 and /opt/beainstall/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/Weblogic/ObiEE11g(domain name).....
But i am not able to see Instance folder ?????
Even system didn't ask me for DEV_BIPLATFORM and DEV_MDS Schema path and password.
How to get this Instance folder?
Do i need to do any more configuration ?
How to make obiee11g run ??
I dont have any clue for next step..Please guide me here.....:)

Hi Dpka,

  • 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
    Regards

  • 11g Read-Only repository on Linux

    Hi
    Currrenty I am struggling with a Read-Only issues on a new install of OBIEE 11g. I have install OBIEE11g on a Linux box and also on a windows server just to use the Repository Administation tool. I then created an ODBC DSN on the windows server to point at repository on the Linux box. The DSN finds the correct repository however when I open the rpd online it always opens it in Read-Only mode so I can't change anything. I have checked the Disallow online RPD updates settings in Enterprise manager under-*> Capacity Management -> Perfromance* and this is correct. Any suggestions or help gratefully received.
    Thanks
    Andy

    Hi Andy,
    Did you check or uncheck the 'Disallow online RPD updates'-setting?
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/bi.1111/e10541/querycaching.htm
    When you checked the setting it seems that it is intended behaviour.

  • OBIEE 11g on Windows 7 64 bit - Error while configuring????

    Hi Experts,
    I am installing OBIEE 11g on Windows 7 64 bit. And I followed below steps:
    1. Installed JDK 64 bit.
    2. Installed Weblogic Server with 64 bit JDK.
    3. Installed OBIEE 11g - Software only Installation.
    4. Ran configuration script. cofig.bat.
    5. Configuration Wizard opened and during the configuration process(step 10 of 11) got an error. Refer below screen shot for the error.
    6. I got the same error when I tried installing 11g on Win server 2003 32 bit and I installed JRocket MissionControl and reinstalled 11g and there are no errors.
    7. So, remembering that I installed JRocket Mission Control 64 bit.
    8. Un installed previous 11g.
    9. Reinstalled 11g on Windows 7 64 bit.
    10 And coming to configuration part it gave same error. Don't know what to do.............can any one help me at this point.

    I've got the same error but with the installation of OBIEE 11g on Windows 32-bit.
    I also tried to continue the installation, but I've got another error in the Executing: opmnctl start coreapplication_obisch1.
    Even with those errors, I finished the installation but of course I've some problem with the presentation server and webLogic, becasue they're not configured properly.
    Any idea how to solve the problem?

  • Removing Admin Server in OBIEE 11g on AIX 6.1

    Hello all,
    1. We had installed OBIEE 11g software only install and configured a instance which we had to uninstall later on. We had followed the steps provided by oracle for uninstallation of instance - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/bi.1111/e10539/c6_deinstall.htm#CIHIDHEB
    2. We had also deleted the contents in bifoundation_domain.
    3. Then we had deleted Managed server entry from console.
    4. Then we executed config.sh for another instance and the port allocated to the new console is 7002, with a new set of Admin and Managed server.
    Kindly suggest a way to delete AdminServer of the first instance, where console is using port number 7001.

    Before going to install obiee11g,
    just clean all existing obiee11g install registry, RCU Schema(DEV_BIPLATDFROM/DEV_MDS),
    physical folders,
    temp/tmp and services.msc (admin server/bi_server, OPMN/node manager -->delete services) , ODBC - obiee11g existing connection remove it via registry then reboot u r pc and then start install ...

  • Installing  Repository Creation Utility (RCU) for OBIEE 11g

    Hello,
    We are working on installing the Oracle Business Intelligence Entreprise Edition Plus 11g (v 11.1.1.6.0) for a POC in our Company's network.
    We have to install the OBI Server and other server-side components on a IBM AIX (64-Bit) server; and the client tools on the local Desktops.
    My queries:
    *1. I am downloading the following softwares for this setup. Please help me understand is this the complete list of softwares required, or are there any more softwares required for OBIEE 11g intallation?*
    List of softwares to be downloaded:
    1) Oracle Business Intelligence, v. 11.1.1.6.0
    - for AIX (64-Bit):
    Disk 1 (1of2) (1.4G) (cksum 4182440856)
    Disk 1 (2of2) (1.5G) (cksum 2020935297)
    Disk 2 (1of2) (1.7G) (cksum 796853559)
    Disk 2 (2of2) (1.3G) (cksum 685152953)
    Disk 3 (1.6G) (cksum 1431984641)
    2) Repository Creation Utility (11.1.1.6.0)
    for Microsoft Windows (32-bit) (320M) (cksum 2503314275) OR for Linux x86 (32-bit) (391M) (cksum 201758785)
    Link for (1) and (2): http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-enterprise-edition/downloads/bi-downloads-1525270.html
    3) Oracle Business Intelligence Developer Client Tools Installer (11.1.1.6.0)
    - for Microsoft Windows x86 (32/64-bit): (360M) (cksum 3317017977)
    Link for (3): http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-enterprise-edition/downloads/bus-intelligence-11g-165436.html
    NOTE: The JDK 1.5.0 is installed
    *2. Where should the additional required software 'Repository Creation Utility' be installed in this case?*
    I can see it is available for 32-bit OS (Windows or Linux x86), and that is why I suspect it to be a client-side software - which is to be installed on my local desktop. Hence, Can I download the Repository Creation Utility (11.1.1.6.0) for Microsoft Windows (32-bit) (320M) (cksum 2503314275)
    Please clarify.
    *4. I will not be installing any of the Oracle BI Applications, so will I require the software Oracle Business Intelligence Data Warehouse Administration Console (10.1.3.4.1)?*
    I assume NO.
    *5. IMP: Is there a Web server (E.g. Oracle WebLogic Server) included in the OBIEE suite, which gets installed in the default installation settings?*
    OR Is there a need to download and install a separate Webserver on the AIX system before installing OBIEE.
    Please reply ASAP.
    Thanks,
    Shweta.

    Although it is a POC, but the installation has to be done on a AIX6.1 remote system, which will be used as a server in the enterprise, with 5 to 7 people accessing it. So 'simple install' is not suitable in this case.
    The AIX6.1 system has a JDK 6 (64 bit).
    I understand that the OBIEE 11g suite comes with a Oracle WebLogic Server (OWLS) installable included in the suite. However, in case of Software Only installation type, the OWLS needs to installed first and then the installer has to be started in 'Softwar Only' mode.
    Could anyone please suggest:
    *1) does 'Enterprise Install' type suite on the AIX6.1 system? If yes, does it mean that it will install JDK once again? is this recommended, as the host system is a shared server and the existing JDK 6 (64-bit) can be in use by other applications on this system.*
    *2) If (1) is not true, is there a way to install the Oracle WebLogic server using the OBIEE 11g installer itself? or do I need to download the WebLogic server installer separately from the OTN site?*
    Thanks in advance for any helping pointers on the above.
    Please reply ASAP, as this is urgent.
    Thanks,
    Shweta.

  • Installing OBIEE 11g on OEL 5u5 64 bit : invalid entry CRC

    I am trying to install OBIEE 111130 64 on a Virtual Box with OEL 5 update 5 64 bit but I cannot get past an "invalid entry CRC" error.
    I managed to get the RCU running. I managed to get the Weblogic running as a separate install using the Sun JDK 64 bit. But the OBIEE Software Only install keeps running in the "invalid entry CRC" error (as does any other type of install available).
    I tried downloads from OTN and eDelivery, but both sites seem to give me faulty downloads that fail with this error (though cksum says all is well).
    I tried default unarchive tool in OEL5 as well as the Oracle 'recommended' tool from eDelivery to see if that made any difference but that did not help.
    I tried unarchive tool as well as Stuffit on Apple host but that also did not make any difference.
    Has anyone ever had this problem and found a (repeatable) solution, or does really know how to get past this ?
    Has anyone ever installed OBIEE 111130 64 on OEL 5u5 64 bit, by the way ? Does Oracle support it (I could not find a clear answer).

    Well, I found the solution.
    First of all : download from eDelivery using a cable connection (and not a wireless connection) for optimal stability of your download.
    Then : run the MD5 and SHA-1 checks to see if you really got what you wanted.
    Then, in Virtualbox for the Oracle Enterprise Linux 5u5 64bit guest OS : set its memory to 2Gb MAX !!!
    I noticed that I kept running into memory allocation problems (no more CRC's now, hurray!) that said that the host was out of memory. That surprised me because I have 8Gb onboard and the Virtualbox was set to use only 3584MB (also strange, Virtualbox does not allow for more ...). But that was too much apparently because ALL my memory was consumed somehow.
    Then start your Virtualbox not via the window application but by using the following commandline:
    Virtualbox -startvm <yourboxname>
    This way you get messages on the commandline you would otherwise not see.
    By the way, I run Virtualbox on a Mac Book Pro with 8 Gb or RAM.
    And then in your Virtual machine unpack your freshly downloaded zips using one of the unzippers 'recommended' by Oracle (see the last lines of the eDelivery page).
    After setting all this the Software Only installation of OBIEE 11g went well, but ... I had to run the installer with an extra parameter that I only discovered after studying the .sh script:
    *./runInStaller -jreloc <java-64bit-home-dir>*
    This -jreloc parameter points to the home directory where I installed (as root) my Sun Java 64bit JDK. In this way I ensured that my installation process uses the proper JVM.
    The parameter is not documented (as far as I can see) but can be found in the runInstaller script. So I tried it and it worked like a charm.
    When I did some more investigation I found out that Virtualbox (as well as VMWare Fusion) on the Mac are 32bit applications that might run 64bit guests, but always with restrictions somewhere as is seems. Now VMWare Fusion allows for more than 3.5Gb of memory to allocate to a VM, but I have not tried that yet (but I will soon).
    Nevertheless, be it the Mac that messes up memory allocation to a 32bit app or be it Virtualbox that messes with memory, the lesson learned is to be cautious with large amounts of memory in Virtualbox. At least I can continue installing OBIEE 11g and make my customer happy.
    Zoef zoef.

  • What's wrong in OBIEE 11g

    Everyone is saying how good OBIEE 11g is so I decided to post about what's bad with it, which surprisingly it's lot. This is what I think is wrong with OBIEE 11g:
    1) Can't install the client tools only, it requires a full install. It seems they have simplified the installation in 11g but only for developers/sales reps running everything on the same machine on Windows PC. The Client tools even requires new set of schema, nonsense!
    2) The "super" new installer that allegedly does everything and simplifies your life does not create the time dimension tables for the Usage Tracking reports.
    3) BI Publisher still uses a separate Scheduler. Half-baked integration still there...
    4) OEM introduced functionality to configure things from the web but again half-baked integration there, a lot of config parameters still need done directly on config files. If you are going to change this better to change all at one go rather than confusing people with half-done things.
    5) Installer requires new schemas to be created in advance. Can't deffer that, can't use an existing schema. This is good for developers running everything on the same machine. Rubbish for enterprises where BI developers are usually not DBAs.
    6) Oracle installer now requires a myriad of permissions and packages on Unix to install (i.e. write permissions on /opt/app/oracle). 10g installer was much better and didn't need all that crap.
    7) 64 bits OSes only support "Software only" installs, need to be configured manually. WTF? The whole enterprise world is already on 64bits! Nonsense!
    8) Still no support for client tools in 64bits OSes.
    9) IE6 no longer supported. May be it was unavoidable but most of the enterprise is still in IE6.
    10) No choice of J2EE. I don't see the need to force people out of the their choice of J2EE other than pure anti-competitive behaviour.
    11) License costs up 130%.
    IMHO the above is a big step back, Oracle is missing the point here. Obviously not enough competition on the BI market, Oracle's got too big and too greedy.

    Here is an interview with Kurt Wolff, which is one of the original OBIEE developers from the nQuire days:
    http://obibb.wordpress.com/2010/08/23/obibb-%E2%80%93-interviews-kurt-wolff/
    This is particularly relevant of how I feel about OBIEE 11g so far...
    "I don’t really know if there are any new features that are important to me in my current work or not. There may be features that help Oracle sell more product, but that’s different.
    Over two years ago I submitted a list of 20 “little” enhancements that, as someone who on a daily basis worked developing analytic apps with OBIEE, I thought would be really beneficial. They were “little” in the sense that I thought the dev team could knock them all out in less than three weeks’ time. Seriously big impact with seriously little work.
    Instead, we’re getting what appears to be a major re-write of the product, which raises questions in my mind about compatibility, unlearning, and new bugs. What I know about new features – well, they’re not so compelling. Sure, if you have a need to integrate Essbase with your other data, that’s good. But in my present situation, it’s irrelevant, and I’m planning on taking a lot of time to evaluate the new release before moving ahead with it."

  • Problem installing OBIEE 11.1.1.6 on Linux 64-bit - redux

    I had posted an issue earlier about not being able to install the Software Only on my Linux 64-bit. That problem has not been solved, but this is a new (possibly related) issue.
    I created a brand new installation of Linux, with an Oracle 11gR2 database, and created the BI repositories using rcu for 11.1.1.6
    I then navigated to bishiphome/Disk1/install/linux64 and ran runInstaller.
    Everything looks fine, all the way up to Step 13 of 15, where the installer is supposed to start copying files. It "hangs up" at that point. The tests for adequate swap space and Temp space are passed:
    Starting Oracle Universal Installer...
    Checking Temp space: must be greater than 1536 MB. Actual 4578 MB Passed
    Checking swap space: must be greater than 500 MB. Actual 7999 MB Passed
    Checking monitor: must be configured to display at least 256 colors. Actual 16777216 Passed
    Preparing to launch Oracle Universal Installer from /tmp/OraInstall2013-04-03_12-13-01PM. Please wait ...

    So far, I have confirmed I am using a 64-bit compliant java:
    $> java -version:
    java version "1.6.0_43"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_43-b01)
    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.14-b01, mixed mode)
    There is nothing installed in this box except the Linux OS, one single Oracle DB for me to install OBIEE, no WebLogic, nothing else.
    Any help will be appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Nick

    Well, I redownloaded all five zip files for Linux 64 bit, and completely deleted my old bishiphome.
    I then unzipped all five zip files into a brand new bishiphome, and retried the installation. This is still a Linux box with nothing on it but Linux, one Oracle 11gR2 database, rcu11.1.1.6, and attempting to install OBIEE 11.1.1.6.
    Same result.
    Still hangs at file copy, still has the same error message in the .out file.
    Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -2
    at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1937)
    Any other ideas? This is getting really frustrating!

    Installation Failed. OUI Session failed invalid entry CRC (expected 0xa8bed9c4 but got 0x87bc0dd6).
    What to do now?

    or
    - installed RCU
    - installed 64 bits JDK (jdk-6u21-windows-x64.exe)
    - installed Weblogic (wls1033_generic.jar) (Find the Steps : and Specify the installation Drive)
    - installed OBI as "software only" (hesr follow as per Viktor Kibsgaard said) (*Here also Specify the same installation Drive*)
    - configured OBI (config.bat you can find in <obi11g home>\Oracle_BI1\bin)
    Steps : You can find the generic jar here:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/wls-main-097127.html
    and take the generic one (http://download.oracle.com/otn/nt/middleware/11g/wls1033_generic.jar)
    You may install this by a command like this : java -XXm.... .... wls1033_generic.jar
    Then a installer pops up.
