Hi Kam,
First of all it's a pleasure to help! That being said, if you think I've correctly answered all your questions, it'd be great if you'd reward "Correct" and/or "Helpful" points for my participation.
Secondly, after installing the components properly, you will get one development application,although, I'm not sure if it is IDE compliant. There really isn't a true debugger component, however, it does have a compiler that will throw errors and you'll have to do some leg work to figure out what is the root cause and fix it.
The only setup.exe file you should be concerned with is in the Server folder. Ignore the others.
Good luck!

OBIEE installation drive

Hi all,
Everything was working fine for me till yesterday....
Yesterday i tried to write a java program with the help of following [link to write java application| http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2008/01/04/oracle-bi-publisher-101331-creating-applications-using-jdeveloper-11g-and-web-service-soap-apis/]
succesfully created the java application.
But today, when I try to open the reports in BIP I am getting error message given below,for all the reports. Except the last file name in the error message 'xdo_070309_124949014_rtf_out.xsl' is different for each report.
I believe that some config file got edited and bip is searching the required file in different OBIEE installation folder.
OBIEE is installed in C drive and the path C:\OracleBI\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\applications\xmlpserver\xmlpserver\xdo\tmp\ is very much valid when in the error message it is telling that D:\..\..\... is invalid.
Please help me in the issue.
Error meassage when trying to view any report in BIP.
D:\OracleBI\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\applications\xmlpserver\xmlpserver\xdo\tmp\xdo_070309_124949014_rtf_out.xsl (The system cannot find the path specified)
Thanks in Advance.

Problelm solved.
i had kept xdodebuf.cfg file in the location D:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_03\jre\lib for debug purpose.
the log path in the file was LogDir=D:\OracleBI\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\applications\xmlpserver\xmlpserver\xdo\tmp
where it should have been written as LogDir=C:\OracleBI\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\applications\xmlpserver\xmlpserver\xdo\tmp since OBIEE in my system is installed in C drive.
Thanks

OBIEE Installation Problem

Hi
I installation process, " *Please Specify a location for a valid JDK Installation*" error is coming. In my system java version 1.6.0_26-b03 is available. I was given the enviroment variable of CLASS_PATH,JAVA_HOME,PATH.
Same path java programm is working fine, but the same path was given in OBIEE installation above said error is coming.
Can you please guide and solve this problem.
Regards

Hi,
You must have a folder like the following : C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_11 (Java Development Kit)
If not you can dowload a jdk and install from here :

Sharing reports across different OBIEE installations

Hello,
Is there a way to import/export reports from/to different OBIEE environments?
We developed a number of Answers reports, and would love to share them with our counterparts who have their own OBIEE installations. The problem is that our environments differ and our repositories differ as well (.rpd file). Some of us are running Windows, others are running Linux; some use Oracle, others SQL Server, or even Microsoft Access.
We tried copying the xml and corresponding .atr files from the catalog in one environment to the catalog in the other, but we quickly found out that the reports fail due to different configurations (missing tables, unknown users, problems with permissions, etc.)
Any help or ideas will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.

Hello,
Thank you for your response.
I am replying to my own original post now. You are right, I was asking for the impossible -- it was late on Friday, and I must have been really tired when I submitted my original post.
The problem I needed to solve was this. Someone gave me Microsoft Access database, the .rpd file and the .xml and .atr files for the Answers reports. My job was to make those reports run in my environment, which is Oracle on Linux. I have finally made it work, but I did have to make changes in the .rpd and add a TNS entry before this started to work. Since there was a change in the physical layer, I had to recreate the BM layer to generate the correct mappings. Then I was able to simply copy and paste the presentation layer from the .rpd that was given to me.
Again, thank you very much for your response.

Seperate OBIEE installation and Weblogic Installation

Hi,
Our requirement is to setup the HA system in the Production for the OBIEE. We have Admin server as active-passive on the 2 OBIEE instances.
We trying to setup the high availability of the Admin server as per the Oracle Enterprise Deployment guide. If I setup that and manually failover the Admin server the user cannot login if the Admin server is migrated to second application server.
So our next option is to install the weblogic on the NAS shared storage and scale out the OBIEE components on the 2nd Application server so that Active-Passive Admin server can access the same settings on the shared storage. So the question is it possible to separate the weblogic and OBIEE installation directories separately in order to achieve high availability.
Thanks:
Apurv.

The URL will be exactly the same as a Windows installation but will have your Unix server name. You will need to learn how to start and stop the OBIEE services and OC4J in Unix. This is pretty well documented on the Infrastructure Installation and Configuration Guide.

Basic or Advanced OBIEE installation

We are trying to installed Advanced OBIEE question: Are we able to use the Web logic Server instead of the Oracle Application Server to perform the Advanced Installation type for OBIEE. We are using Weblogic 10.3, OBIEE 10.1.3.4
During a i am getting this message
■ You are evaluating the Oracle Business Intelligence product.
■ The Web Server is a J2EE Application Server other than Oracle Application Server.
■ Choose the Advanced Installation type when deploying Oracle BI with Oracle Application Server
If you plan to perform an Advanced Installation, Oracle Application Server (version 10.1.3.1.0 or
later) must be installed before you run the Oracle Business Intelligence installer.
Lastly, what is the difference between basic and advanced installation.

Hi,
I think you need to go ahead with Basic installation(which has OC4j as application server). Now after your OBIEE installation is complete you need to install right version of Weblogic and deploy the analyitcs.war file and BI publisher war file (if needed) so that applications would be created on you application server. Once this is done you are good to use OBIEE which would be running on weblogic server as an application listening on the port you configured.
Hope this helps
Regards,

OBIEE installation error: file EmctlCommon.pm.template not found

I'm installing OBIEE 11.1.1.6.0 on Linux Centos.
I have this error running the installer
"/app/MiddlewareOracle/middlewarehome/oracle_common/bin/EmctlCommon.pm.template not found"
/app/MiddlewareOracle/middlewarehome is my installation home directory.
I don't understand why installer did not copy/unzip this file in oracle_common.
I don't think it's a permission issue: there are other files in the directory.
Log simply report the error with no further information.
Some advice?
thanks
Luca

Sorry
Probably the error was due to an error during the unzip of files downoladed from Oracle.
Solved.

OBIEE installation in Ubuntu 9.10

Hi Experts,
I am new to Ubuntu and am exploring Linux for the first time, I am a developer in Oracle but I want to learn OBIEE in Linux, but some how when I install, it says that the platform should be either RedHat or Suse, I do not know how to proceed further.
Please help me as I have made all installation my self,which took me 2 days full, now I cannot go back to windows or any other platform to make this happen.
Please help out.. Real urgent.
Regards,
Rakesh

Welcome to the forums !
What version of OBIEE and Ubuntu ? AFAIK, OBIEE is not certified on Ubuntu - so the hack of ignoring system prereqs may or may not work - it may also cause issues after the install.

2 Default Schemas in OBIEE installation.

Good Afternoon
We currently have a database called DEV2, pointing to this database is an OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0 installation.
We want to install OBIEE 11.1.1.7.0 (Enterprise installation) on a new server and also point our DEV 2 database to this installation.
I read that you can break your installation if you overwrite the 2 schemas in our case already installed on 11.1.1.5.0.
So my question is can you create 2 new Schemas so it can be configured on its own and have nothing to do with the 11.1.1.5.0 installation but be 11.1.1.7.0 only?
Regards
Rayno

If I understand correctly you don't want to upgrade your existing environment, but create a new 11.1.1.7.0 env without breaking the first 11.1.1.5.0 Instance.
If yes than you need to create New set of schemas of 11.1.1.7.0 version, you can create them on same Database, but while creating new schemas give a new Prefix to it.

OBIEE Installation (Basic) on IIS

Hi Experts,
Recently I have tried to install OBIEE on IIS. In the Installation Guide, I found the following instructions:
To deploy Oracle BI Presentation Services and Plug-in with Microsoft IIS
+1 Choose Advanced or Basic installation type.+
+2 After you select the components to install, and if Presentation Services or Presentation Services Plug-in are selected, you are prompted to select the application server.+
- Select Microsoft IIS.
-- The ISAPI plug-in is installed in IIS.
+3 When the Basic installation type is selected, the installer installs a stand-alone version of OC4J+
and deploys Oracle BI Systems Management and Oracle BI Publisher in this container.
However when I install OBIEE with Basic installation type, there is no step to select the Application Server.
Has anybody encountered similar problem,
Thanks!
MB

@John
Thanks for the link. I had already seen it before and it had been very helpful.
However my question was more about the Installation itself (not about moving the container).
@wildmight
I installed OBIEE once again on the clean WinServer with IIS up and running and there is an option to choose to install it in IIS.
I guess my previous installations were done on WinServer without IIS.
Thanks for your help,
MB

OBIEE installer JVMST109: Insufficient space in Javaheap

Hello,
I'm trying to install OBIEE 10.1.3.3.2 on CentOS 5 in an Oracle VM. I've been able to install this without any issues in a Xen VM so not sure if the differences between the two are causing this issue. I've tried running the setup using the -console option but it hasn't helped. The VM is using 4 CPUs and has 8 GB allocated to it. I even tried what is metalink doc 843797.1 but it just hangs when trying to start oc4j. I also tried clearing out /tmp any any old files in the obi directory which I am trying to install into. Has anyone seen this issue recently? Someone had a similar issue with this thread but it doesn't have a resolution to the issue.
Insufficient space in Javaheap Error when installing BIEE 10.1.3.4 on linux
Any help would be appreciated.

If anyone has this problem it is a bug with the VM/installer. You need to set the VM to 2GB and after the installer has finished increase the memory on the VM.

I need urgently help. I would appreciate someone could help me.
We can do together via Webex or something similar. It doesnt worth it for me to type here and wait till someone give me an answer (if any), trying to find out how I did.
I hope to find the help I need. I am desperated :-(

Can I install the OBIEE 10g version?I am not sure but i think OBIEE is not certified with windows 7. i could not find any MOS doc confirming same. Please log a call with oracle to confirm this.
would it work fine with the Oracle Database 11g and the RCUs?. Yes OBIEE 10g will work with oracle database 11g.
Thanks,
