OBIEE 12c Installation Steps

As you probably already know from the blogosphere and twitter, Oracle

released OBIEE12c today right before OOW15. This is a quick post to document the software installation in Windows 7 . The software is

available on OTN:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-enterprise-edition/downloads/business-intelligence-2717951.html

As indicated on the OTN download page, the installation order is following:

A. Download and install JDK 1.8 from this link

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html

the current release is JDK-8u65

B. Download and install the Web Logic server; installation will be covered

in this post

• fmw_12.2.1.0.0_infrastructure_Disk1_1of1.zip

C. Download and install Oracle Business Intelligence 12c (12.2.1.0.0)

consisting of 2 zip file

• fmw_12.2.1.0.0_bi_windows64_Disk1_1of2.zip • fmw_12.2.1.0.0_bi_windows64_Disk1_2of2.zip

D. Download and Install Oracle Business Intelligence Developer Client Tool (12.2.1.0.0) for LINUX installations.

1) Step 1: Install Fusion Middleware 12c Infrastructure: this can be

accomplished in Windows from the command prompt by issuing:

a. Java –jar fmw_12.2.1.0.0_infrastructure.jar

Note that if you chose to look for patches, you’ll see that there is one patch available for download

2. Step 2: unzip the two zip file, you should end up with one executable and a folder named Disk2

Start the OBIEE 12c installation by running the setup, following are few screen shots, one thing to note is that the installation has been simplified; in this release, one type of installation is available: Enterprise installation. Another major departure from 11g is the deprecation of the OPMN service.

3. Step 3: configure Oracle Business Intelligence

Navigate to Oracle_Home/bi/bin

and run the configuration script: config.cmd in Windows.

Create the BIPLATFORM schemas, the simplest option is to create new schemas on the fly; one can also using existing schemas created with the RCU.In 12c, the RCU is located in [ORACLE_HOME]\oracle_common\bin

Specify the applications port range

Specify that to install: sample application, existing BI application or a clean slate.

Confirmation window

Start the configuration process, there are fewer steps than in 11g and the process runs much faster.

If all goes well, success! Enjoy the new obiee 12c
