Installation Directory of OBIEE in linux

Hi all,
I am trying to install OBIEE on Linux server, by default the installtion directory will be
/usr/local/OracleBI
/usr/local/OracleBIData
Is that mandatory to install OBIEE under these directories or can i Install in any other directories like any mount point (/mnt/OracleBI)or under home directory (/home/Vinay/OracleBI) ?????
Thanks,
Vinay

If I recollect it correctly, you going to specify the location like /usr/Local.
So you can go for any location other than what Oracle suggested.

Hi Sujitha,
I dont know what is the error all about,but it will continue installation and completes it successfully.If you want to use charts that deals with corda that would give you problem.
Hope this link helps you http://rnm1978.wordpress.com/category/obiee/sawserver/page/2/

Is it possible to run OBIEE on linux 64 bit mchine with oracle 64 bit

Is it possible to run OBIEE 10.1.3.4.0 on linux 64 bit machine with oracle 64 bit(10.2.0.1.0) installed
Thanks in Advance

Yes, assuming your hardware has the supported CPUs. OBIEE binaries are 32 bits and requires 32 bits OCI libraries to connect Oracle DBs. See the OBIEE [System Requirements and Supported Platforms|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/e10417.pdf] for more information.

OBIEE on Linux 64 bit

Has anyone had any success in installing OBIEE , DAC and Oracle BI Apps on Linux 64 bit? We are on Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4. We were able to install obiee 10.1.3.4.1 on this machine and start services successfully. We were able to also install the Informatica 8.1.1 (followed by SP5) on the same machine and start infaservice successfully. However, we are having issues installing the DAC 10.1.3.4.1 on this.
We downloaded the DAC from edelivery.oracle.com for the Linux platform. The runInstaller from the base installation directory did not even launch and gave an error saying "Running 64 bit JVM is not supported". We found a "linux" directory under the base installation directory and a runInstaller there. We invoked this and was able to install the DAC successfully until the "oracleRoot.sh" screen. The oracleRoot.sh is failing since we don't seem to have the hasbind and hasexec files that the oracleRoot.sh is looking for. Anyone faced such issues?
We tried to say OK and start the DAC components but it is failing due to server.properties missing from bifoundation/dac/conf location. Any thoughts/suggestions would be great.
Thanks,
Arun

Okay, so after re-reading the BI Applications install documentation, it turns out that even though you can download the Linux install for the DAC, you actually are not at all supposed to install the DAC to a linux environment.
Instead, you are only supposed to install DAC to Windows and then copy and paste the folders to the Linux server.
This might be a rhetorical question, but why is there a linux install file for DAC available, if you are not supposed to use it?
In fact the document "Data Warehouse Administration Console Installation, Configuration, and Upgrade Guide" (E12653-01), it clearly says for Unix/Linux you need to run the universal installer on the Linux server. It doesn't say anything about installing on windows and copying. Am I missing something here?
Either way, the moral of this story is following the details outlined in the BI Applications installation guide and not the details in the DAC installation guide.

How to connect Oracle 10g from OBIEE on Linux?

- OBIEE 10.1.3.4.0 is running on Cent 5 Linux M1 (*64* bit). My Oracle database is running another similar machine M2.
- I installed oracle 64 bit client on M1 but could not connect to run the report, connection issue. Even nqcmd didn't helped.
- I guess it was because OBIEE is *32* bit application and hence need 32 bit client.
- I tried installing Oracle 32 bit Linux client on M1 but installation fails with some dependency (Not sure if we can install 32 bit client on 64 bit machine)
Q1 - Any suggestion at this point?
Q2 - Is there any way we could connect OBIEE to Oracle via ODBC drivers. I could not found any odbc driver/so file when I wan installed 64 bit client. Any suggestion for this?
Thanks in Advance!

The computer running XE server does not need a client installed.
If you are trying to connect from another computer, install the XE client and create file C:\XEClient\NETWORK\ADMIN\TNSNAMES.ORA with the following contents (replace ip_address as appropriate):
XE =
    (DESCRIPTION =
       (ADDRESS_LIST =
          (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = ip_address)(PORT = 1521))
       (CONNECT_DATA =
          (SERVICE_NAME = XE)
{code}Test with
{code:java}
sqlplus SYSTEM/password@XE
{code}

How to install OBIA on windows having OBIEE on Linux?

Hi,
I am going to install as many components on Linux as possible for BI Apps.
Presently I have installed OBIEE 11.1.1.7 on Linux 5.8 64bit.
Now I want to install OBIA 7964 which is only available for Windows so far.
How I can setup OBIA on Linux? May be I have to install it windows and move metadata (RPD, Catalog) on Linux.
But again when I try to install OBIA on windows then it ask for OBIEE software locations (Like domain home, instance home etc)
Does that interesting by Oracle? How to solve it?
Documentation say nothing about it.
Regards
Naeem Akhtar

After you have copied you might just need to restart the services for few files in order for them to be reflected. OBIA comes with RPD and catalog folders, just copy them or deploy them using EM and just restart the services. You should be good.
If you cant access http://hostname:9704/analytics then services might be down. looks for logs and also ./opmnctl status to see as what are the services are down.
Thanks,

Issues with Selinux with OBIEE in Linux

Hello guys
Have you ever run into this error in OBIEE?
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
Error Details
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. directory/dbhome/lib/libnnz10.so: cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied [nQSError: 46029] Failed to load the DLL Directory/OracleBI/server/Bin/libnqsdbgatewayoci10g.so. Check if 'Oracle OCI 10G' database client is installed. (HY000)
SQL Issued: SELECT Date."Day Date" saw_0 FROM "Reports" ORDER BY saw_0
Now I did some research around on this and I am getting that Selinux being 'enforced' was the cause of this error. Now we do have the requirement to enable to Selinux at all time, but this is not the point here..
The thing I find interesting is that, after I change the setting to 'permissive', OBIEE is running perfectly fine. Then when we change it again back to 'enforced', OBIEE is still running fine. But initially, there was an error.
In my other environment, because I was not able to change the setting of Selinux, the OBIEE was giving the same error after restarting the DB, OBIEE service. Then I restarted the OBIEE service again (OC4J, saw and sa scripts), then the error disappears..
Does anybody ever experience this kind of behavior in Linux?
Please share with me your thoughts to help me understand more about the inner working of this thing..
Appreciated in advance

Hi,
Please follow the steps.
1) Make sure you got a FULL Oracle 10g client installed (check with your DBA). Oracle INSTANT CLIENT is NOT SUPPORTED.
2) Make sure the OBIEE user that you use to run the OBIEE services has read and execute permissions on all files under ORACLE_HOME for the Oracle client that you wish to use. Even better if you install the Oracle client with the same user as the OBIEE uses to run it's services.
3) Make sure your Oracle 10g client has the OCI 32bits libraries installed (check in the ORACLE_HOME/lib32 directory that the libclntsh.so.10.1 library exists and it's size is bigger than 0 bytes). OBIEE uses the 32bits libraries.
4) Configure your OBIEE /OracleBI/setup/user.sh file to make sure your ORACLE_HOME and TNS_ADMIN variables are correctly set to the correct values. You also need to set these two:
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib32:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
5) Export all the above 4 variables in your current session and test that you can resolve your database name(s) by doing "tnsping DB_NAME".
6) Restart all your OBIEE services and check that all variables are correctly set (type "env").
After you have done all that give it a test and let us know if it works.

OBIEE 10g Linux Presentation Services not starting

Hi,
I'm having some problems starting up the Presentation Services. The oc4j service and the Server (run-sa.sh) service started with no problems but when i try to start the Presentation Services i get the following error on the sawserver.out.log:
Oracle BI Presentation Services 10.1.3.4.1 (Build 090414.1900) are starting up.

I tried to find something similar to my problem on older threads but couldn't find anything.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

Hi,
Is this the only error that you got in log files. Can you change the presentation catalog name and give it a try. Kill all the services. Start OC4J and then start the services.

Requirement to upgrade OBIEE 10g on Windows to OBIEE 11g on Linux

Dear All,
I have a requirement to upgrade OBIEE 10g from current windows 2003 environment to OBIEE 11g Linux environment.
I went through forums and many threads on upgrade, everywhere they talk about Upgrade Assistant (UA). And oracle documentation says ,
+"Do not change from one platform or architecture to a different platform or architecture as part of the upgrade process.+
+For example, if the existing 10g system is running on a Windows 32-bit platform, do not install Oracle BI 11g on a Linux 64-bit platform and then run the Linux 64-bit Upgrade Assistant to upgrade the existing 10g system."+
But there would certainly be scenarios with other users the way I have. Then what is the way out to do this upgrade?
Can anyone give some advice on this. It is little urgent.
Thanking in advance.
Regards,
Deepika.

Thats are huge change in platform. win32 to linux 64.
Yet what we upgrade is only
catalog and rpd.
this might involve some manual change if UA cannot complete successfully.
Its better to do a prototype before the actual upgrade as recommended by Oracle. This will show what can the possible issues and road blocks.
