Can I get the Metalink note No. How to install BIEE in Linux platform.?
I have tried following PDF but not able to find the details regarding same.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/b31765.pdf
Also can in install the BIEE on same server where Oracle Application 11i or R12 in already installed
Thanks,
Amol
Amol,
Unfortunately there is no metalink note yet on server but BIEE install on linux is very simple.
First check if you want Basic or Advanced .
Install JDK or 10g AS (10.1.3 or higher) for basic or advanced installation respectivily.
and then run setup.sh and rest is GUI (this will ask for destination BI_HOME & BI_DATA_HOME)
Yes you can install BI on same server as of 11i & R12 but you can not use application server of 11i & R12 as they are not of version 10.1.3.0.1
ReplyThanks for reply,
I will try out the installation and let you the results.
Another thing I want to suggest for this newly designed web site, can we get the automated mail if the posted question is replied or get updated so I will be easy to monitor the post.
Thanks again,
Amol
Hi Atul,
I am very sorry I haven’t seen this carefully.

Hi Atul
Need your help in an advisory.
Will the following implementation of 11i EBusiness Suite be supported for OBIEE Plus platform ?
Oracle Applications 11.5.9
OracleDatabase 9.2.0.6 Real Application Cluster (RAC)
Does OBIEE Plus require hardware platform separate from the 11i hardware. Any recommendations how many servers/cpus are needed as minimum install
Any guide exists for OBIEE Plus with the system requirements stated ?
Is Project Analytics available in the OBIEE Suite.
ReplyWill the following implementation of 11i EBusiness Suite be supported for OBIEE Plus platform ?
What do you mean by supported here ? Do you wish to integrate BIEE with 11i setup mentioned above or you just wish to put BIEE on same server.
Does OBIEE Plus require hardware platform separate from the 11i hardware.
No, they can share same hardware
Any recommendations how many servers/cpus are needed as minimum install.
— Depends on your usages and number on users but for basic installation you can use even desktop (I tested installation on linux basic machine)
Is Project Analytics available in the OBIEE Suite.
— No Project Analytics is not part for OBIEE Suite for components which are part of BIEE check my first post at http://onlineappsdba.com/index.php/2007/10/17/oracle-business-intelligence-enterprise-edition-overview/
I’ll try to cover on project analytics soon
ReplySame question as to what are the server requirements (CPU, Memory & space) for Basic and advance installation for OBIEE.
Any formula based on no. of users?
Replywe have CentOS 5 linux,
in that we have installed 3 oracle products
oracle database
oracle Data Integrator &
Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition
oracle database 10g installed in oracle user
oracle data integrator installed in ODI user &
Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition is installed in OracleBIEE user.
Everything installed successfully
i am a oracle database DBA, i installed all this softwares.
now i have a problem in BIEE
when i executed the oc4j.jar file it showed started with some errors,but after if we try to open the URL of taht it is not opening,in windows we have installed the same,but it started and URL also working,but in linux it is not working,anything i have to make any settings for url to work in linux and i have 1 more question apart from this how to install ODBC in linux as in windows inbuilt we have but in linux i don’t know because oracle applications always ask for JDBC
Hi Atul,
We have already installed OBIEE along with Oracle AS(without Single sign on Option).We have a requirement to integrate this OBIEE to an R12 EBS.Can you send me the steps to do integrate.I found no doccuments in Metalink.Also is Single isgn on mandatory for the integration.
regards
Soumya
Thanks Atul for the quick reply.I need to install OBIEE apps now.Our OBIEE infrastructure has already been installed on a linux machine.But as said in the doccument Oracle provides OBIEE Apps installer for Windows only.If we need to go for an UNIX installation certain parts of OBIEE Apps (Information Client tools,DAC client)need to be installed on Windows machine.Is this true.Is there no way we can go on with the installation on a single UNIX machine.
Also is it advisable to carry on the OBIEE Apps installation on a Windows box and then integrateit with an R12 EBS running on a Linux machine.
Please help me on this as I am a rookie in this field.
Thanks in Advance.
Soumya.
ReplyHi Atul,
I have downloaded biee_linux_x86_redhat_101330_disk1.cpio and want to install this on Redhat Linux. My basic question is, Does this install need Oracle Applications running, or is this a seperate product by itself which I can install and later integrate with Oracle Apps .
I appreciate your inputs.
Thanks
Suri
Hi Atul,
I have finished downloading the biee_linux_x86_redhat_101340_disk1.cpio
Before I start, Do i have to JDK 1.5 or higher for basic install ?doesnt it come with the biee_linux_x86_redhat_101340_disk1.cpio ?
Is there any steps to do before I start actual install like prerequistes on the Linux etc ?
Thanks for your help

Hi Atul,
I downloaded binary version and extracted that.
It created directory jdk1.5.0_11 and under that I can see src.zip and that has several folders.

Suri
I executed this jdk-1_5_0_11-linux-i586.bin
it created lot of directories like bin,src.zip etc..under jdk-1_5_0_11
Under bin i find java executable
if this is the one you are talking about, how do i run this, do I have to any parameters ?
Again, thanks Atul..
Suri

pls give some inputs as to what to do next.
thanks
Suri
Suri,
Start services on OBIEE and then access page as
http :// servername :9704/analytics
http :// servername :9704/xmlpserver
Administrator/Administrator
9704 is default port.
Atleast following components should be up tp access BIEE
1. OC4J (or application server)
2. BI Server
3. BI Presentations Services
Hi Atul,
I will be starting this on a Solaris environment.
Please advice if this is correct.
1)Install Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.1
2)Install 10.2.0 Client on Solaris
3)Install 10G database (When I install Client,does it create 10G database too)
4)Install BIEE 10.1.3.2
Please let me know if this is correct and if there are any notes to follow to do this on Solaris.
Thanks
Suri
1)Install Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.1 – This is required only if you need 10g AS Single Sign On (else use custom installation usign OC4J)
2)Install 10.2.0 Client on Solaris (Why you need this ?)
3)Install 10G database (When I install Client,does it create 10G database too) – If you install 10g Database it will install client too but not vice versa
4)Install BIEE 10.1.3.2 – OBIEE should work on Solaris but this is NOT certified on Solaris/Linux (Only BI Publisher is certified on Solaris)
Officially OBI Server is certified only on Windows
Check OBIEE certificateion guide at
For 10.1.3.2 check here

Thanks Atul,
Just for confirmation, need your expert advice.
1)Anyways I need JDK 1.5 or Oracle Application server, I will install oracle application server.
2)I will install 10G db as it might need it for storing data,right?
3)I will install OBIEE
Waiting for your advice
Thanks for your time Atul.
Suri
ReplyAtul,
I have 21 Gig in my linux box. How much space do you think this install needs with 10G database too?
Thanks
Suri
So, I do this for basic OBIEE install in that order:-
1) I Put jdk-1_5_0_11-linux-i586
2)I will install 10G db as it might need it for storing data,right?
3)I will install OBIEE
Thanks Atul…
ReplyHi Atul,
I finished installing 10g database. I have to start with OBIEE on linux box.
Once I am done with this installation, what are the things I have to configure for this to connect with the database and bringing up the URL etc.
Thanks
Suri
Atul,
I finished the installation of OBIEE and had already installed JDK1.5 as told by you.

Hi Atul,
I am installing 11.5.9 on Linux AS 4 update 3 and facing error below:

Nehas,
This log is not enough. check c:\OracleApps\visdb\9.2.0\temp\VIS_erp\adrun9i.cmd for log file location.
Another this looking at error message (adrun9i.cmd) it seems you are installing 11.5.9 on windows where as above you mentioned that you are trying to install on linux, your views on this ?
Check http://onlineappsdba.com/index.php/2007/10/31/install-oracle-11i-115102-on-linux/

Check software dump is correct .
Is this on shared drive ?
Try downloading and unzip again
Which user should be logged in as to start installing BI ? root or oracle_admin ?
Thanks.
Kumar
Never mind. I started the installer as root and it prompted me not to install using the root id.
Instead, I logged in as oracle_admin user and was able to successfully install OBIEE.
Thanks.

Hi All,
We are implementing EBS R12 and OBIEE in our environment, now we want to implement SSO between EBS and OBIEE, we have installed EBS R12 and installed OBIEE in basic mode.
now my first question is do we need to install oBIEE in advanced mode is it mandatory or not….
and do we need SSO server also, i heard that wihtout using SSO server we can impement sso bettween EBS adn OBIEE stand alone.
Please if anyone can tell the steps how to implement SSO then it will be very helpful for us.
Thanks in advance

WARNING: could not delete locked file /tmp/ismp001
And then we had a problem that we couldnt login in the either we you suggest like

I don’t think there was any OBIEE 10.1.4.X ever released.
It was 10.1.3.X and then 11g . All OBIEE docs are at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-enterprise-edition/documentation/bi-ee-087853.html
Did you mean discoverer 10.1.4.2 ? (Discovere is also referred as Business Intelligence tool)

3) DO we have to target xmlp and analytics applicaitons to the admins server?
I apprecaite if you can helpa t earlist..
Thanks

@ Ganesh,
I hope we are talking about OBIEE 10g on WebLogic , if yes then you can either target application of admin server or create managed server and target it to that server.
Thanks Atul for your quick response !
I am following below order ,can you correct me if am wrong in my approach:
1)Install weblogic 10.3.2.0 and configure domain
2)Install Obiee 10.3.4.1
3)copy applicaitons xmlpserver,analytics,bioffice from $OracleBI_HOme/oc4j_bi/j2ee/home/applications to weblogic application deployement folder and then target it to admin server
4) create sheduler schema’s,tablespsaces and then restart the weblogic admin , run-sa.sh
run-saw.sh and access the urls ….
