OBIEE MUD setup on Linux

Do you have any link for the setup guide od MUD on Linux/Unix box?

Is linux your developer's machine OS and/or your OBI Server?
We have linux for OBI Server and windows for developer machines and it works like a charm ... just need a samba share on the linux box to be able to have the shared folder for the windows machines to checkout and upload changes to the 'network'.you don't have to have a Samba share, you can use a Windows Share as well and then upload the RPD using your usual method (FTP, sftp, etc).

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

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..

Automation of OBIEE 11G services in Linux OS

Hi
We have a requirement for the automation of OBIEE 11G services in Linux OS whenever system reboots. I came to know that this can be achieved by a shell script, however, not certain about it. It would be grateful if any workaraound/pointers/documentation to achieve this is shared.
Thanks.

HI
The mentioned link has scripts for linux, but I need for windows and I tried some script which I found online but I am getting some errors which are in bold below

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...
Regards.

OBIEE Admin Tasks in Linux

Hi,
I like to know OBIEE Admin Tasks in Linux like how to move reports from DEV to UAT.
Thanks !

Hi,
As you know there are admin tools named:
- Catalog Manager
- Administration tool.
You can use there tools to connect to the repository through the network. So first install client tools on a developer or client computer. Then open the catalog manager and establish a connection to the Presentation Catalog on the DEV server. And open another catalog manager and login to the PROD, this time.
As a result, there will be 2 tools opened. You can just copy one item from DEV and paste it to PROD easily.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Cuneyt

Hardware requirements for RAC Setup on Linux

Hi,
Can any body help me...We are soon going for the RAC setup on linux operating system.So,i need to provide the customer,the hardware needed for this setup.
Please send me the list of all the things right from small things....
regards,

Hi Mohammed,
In addition you may find good information in below doc:

How do you setup GNU/Linux on an iMac G4 with Panther OS X 10.3.9 ?...

How do you setup GNU/Linux on an iMac apple computer
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMac_G4
with Panther OS X 10.3.9
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSX10.3 ?...

There is a Ubuntu 10.4 version for Mac with PPC architecture; not sure
how that would work in the computer you may consider running it in.
Some leads on that kind of discussion can be found by using a Google
search, and the words: *ubuntu for PPC G4 Mac* + read through results.
Or choose to search using these terms: *Open Source Linux PPC G4 Mac*
A few results point back to Apple Discussions, where there were inquiries.
Note the version of a Linux-type of OS, compatible with Mac PPC hardware,
on the following page-link: *• Ubuntu 10.0.4 LTS (Lucid Lynx)*
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/10.04/release/
{You would have to put the image, as downloaded from such a site, on a CD
for use as an Installer; then follow any instructions as available to install it.}
An old page (from 2007?) with some details, some not up-to-date,
may be of help to a limited degree, from here: Ubuntu PPC wiki
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ#Is%20Ubuntu%20supported%20on%20PowerPC?
Or: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ
See their home page to look for other information on the site: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/
These wiki groups are like communities, with rules & other such considerations; you
may be able to also find +Open Source+ sites with information and builds of suitable
Linux versions capable of running well in an older PPC Mac. There are newer ones
that would have no problem on a newer Intel-based Mac, of course.
• Mac Linux Links: (perhaps too dated)
http://lowendmac.com/linux/index.shtml
• Comparison of Linux distributions:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparisonof_Linuxdistributions
Hardware support in the older PPC G4 Mac computer should be considered, in order
to have the better experience possible with the Linux-based OS; and some specs in
an old Mac may not be ideal. The graphics processor unit and amount of dedicated
RAM for the graphics alone, could make a difference; depending on what you had in
mind when running a Linux-based OS in a PPC Mac. So consider hardware specs.
Some hardware in the computer may or may not be supported by the Software; and
then, there may be some problems implementing a Linux OS version in your Mac.
If you had an old Mac Mini (PPC or early Intel) & considered running Linux, there's
a page of general ideas worth a peek: http://sowerbutts.com/linux-mac-mini/
You may not have enough room on the existing internal hard disk drive inside the
iMac G4, for a complete OS X 10.3.9 or Later OS X, and a partition for Linux in it.
And, you may find through reading further, if you need to (or don't) start fresh and
have a partition for each different OS, or not. For organizational purposes and ease
of removing one system or the other, a partitioned hard disk drive may be best.
There probably is a way to have Linux on an external bootable hard disk drive; &
that would have to be compatible with the Mac hardware requirements to be seen
and used by the computer, and also the ability to restart from Linux into Mac OS X
would have to exist in the system software. Hopefully without incident.
You will have some degree of a learning curve in this matter, from reading up on
the details of any viable Linux versions, through the ones likely to work in your
old PPC G4 Mac, and then if there are more than two or three good ones, of those
what one would be most likely to be worth the additional effort to attempt to use in it.
Depending on the version and specifications of your iMac G4 computer, there could
be different versions of linux systems capable of running it. However, some items
may not be supported which you would need to have working, such as wi-fi internet
and sleep mode, etc; among others. Searching the net does bring up more info.
{You may find, that going to OS X 10.4.11 would be more worth the effort, in that
most everything would 'just work' and you can still find many good software bits
and some fine freeware or low cost shareware to run on it. Linux versions vary
so much on what they can and cannot do, I would not recommend running it.}
Since I am not an expert in the matter, hopefully someone with a experimental time
and results in a similar vintage Mac as yours will reply and give you insightful info.
Good luck & happy computing!

HOw to uninstall OBIEE in Red Hat Linux?

Hello All,
How do I completely uninstall OBIEE in Linux (RHEL 5, in my case)?
I tried running setup again, and it did not have any options for removal. The only options were to update the existing installation or to perform a fresh install.
Should I simply remove the OracleBI and OracleBIData directories? Would that be the way to "uninstall" OBIEE in Linux?
Thank you for any help.

The majority of the programs in Linux can be uninstalled by simply removing the directory where they are installed. OBIEE is not the exception.

Hi
I was not much clear about what you are telling
See my first OBIEE instance URL is http://hostname18.oracle.com:7777/analytics (As i deployed OBIEE on Application server 10g(OAS1))
and second one is http://hostname18.oracle.com:7778/analytics (As i deployed OBIEE on another Application server 10g(OAS2))
Also My port for first OBIEE instance is 9704 and second one is 9725(Which i changed to this)
Now tell me what are all i should update

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..

10.1.3 Cluster setup on Linux

Hi there,
Can someone successfully setup Oracle 10.1.3 cluster on Linux? Unlike 10.1.2, this release don't have Infrastructure and Metadata Repository installtion type. I just wonder if this release provides us to setup a cluster enviornment.
Thanks,
Kevin

Kevin,
I have got the same problem in RHEL 3 updater 4 with two host x86.
I have tried unsuccessfully to setup a topology active-active with dinamic discover with runInstaller. First midle-tier with administration console and second deselecting administration. All finished fine but when I executed opmnclt @cluster status only show one instance in every host.
I have also tried to configure the same topology after setup. I installed two integrated webserver, J2EE and opmn in every host and then I executed opmnassociate.sh. This neither worked.
With static discover it neither worked.
I have also checked software requeriments for RHEL 3 OS.
Thanks,
Juan
