2 INTRODUCTION
2.1 Document Overview and Purpose
In this document, we will go through the steps required to install, and configure OBIEE 11.1.1.7.0, and
Oracle BI Applications 11.1.1.7.1. The objective of this article is to create OBIEE/Oracle BI Applications
11.1.1.7.1 environment with Oracle Data Integrator 11g along with tools such as Oracle BI Applications
Configuration Manager and the Load Plan Generator for ODI 11g.

NOTE: As part of the installation process will require you to upgrade Oracle WebLogic Server from
version 10.3.5 to 10.3.6, and to do this you will need to download the upgrade installer for WebLogic
Server 10.3.6 from My Oracle Support, by loading download patch no. 13529623 and following article
1421307.1, to give you a file called wls1036_upgrade_generic.jar.
NOTE: Make sure of temp space and mount before starting installation. We had to do the steps below to
avoid some of the potential errors
5.3
DATABASE DETAILS: Provide the Database information as below in the popup install window
Click on create to continue OBIEE repository installation, and this process will create the schemas which
will be used by OBIEE.
After the repository is created, continue with the Business Intelligence 11.1.1.7 installation
Navigate to the right path to execute OBIEE installer, which would be in bishiphome Disk1
Click on Continue
Enter the username weblogic, and the Password (Eb**********). Leave the other defaults
Define the folder, where you want to install OBIEE. This will be known as Middleware_Home
Choose the products required, and in our case, we chose BIEE, and BIPublisher
Enter the database information where the schemas have been created.
The installation process starts with creating Domain and checks off the tasks.
The OBIEE Login page pops up in the browser once installation is successful.
5.4
Now you can install Oracle Data Integrator 11g, making sure that you do not choose the option to
configure repositories, as a later stage in the configuration process will do this for you
Identify the folder with jdk1.6, and provide the information while executing the installer. The screen shot is
as above
Choose Developer Installation (both the choices), and Java EE Installation (all the Three choices, and
Click Next to continue
Make sure you give the existing Middleware_Home path. In this case it is /home/oracle/RSBI
Make Sure you choose the second option Skip Repository Configuration, and Click Next to
continue
Save the post-installation information for future reference, and click Finish
5.5
(OBIA RCU) The next step in this installation process is to use an additional, special version of the
Repository Creation Utility to create the additional repository and other schemas used by Oracle BI
Applications 11.1.1.7.1.
During the installation process, we will need to provide the following information
The database, where the schemas can be created
Database Type: Oracle Database
Host Name: 10.12.250.210
Port: 1521
Service name: orcl
Username: sys
Password: Eb**************
Role: SYSDBA
We also need to provide the information as below, as in example, we had given
Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse : RSTST_DW
Oracle Business Intelligence Applications Components : RSTST _BIACOMP
Oracle Data Integration Master and Work Repositories : RSTST _BIA_ODIREPO
IMPORTANT NOTE: The source folder from BIAPPS which contains the dbf files need to be saved in a
folder in the database server, so that can be referred in the installation below
Navigate to the path where, we can execute the ./rcu for BIAPPS
Enter the database credentials, where the schemas can be created, and Click Next to continue
Once the pre-reqs are complete, click OK, and Click Next to continue
Enter the Prefix you want to use to create schemas. In our case we used RSTST, and Click Next to
continue
Define the path of the schema folder in the database server where the db files are located.
Example: /u01/installers/biapps_rcu/rcu/integration/biapps/schema
Select the table space it should have more space to install all the .dmp files for each schema it is
recommended to have more than 15 GB (future purpose) and click on Create it takes some time (around
30 mins)
5.6
Navigate to the biappsshiphome folder to access the runInstaller file, and make sure to define the
jdk1.6 path for the jreLoc. It would be like the screenshot below
cd biappsshiphome/Disk1
Click Continue
The previous step installed the Oracle Business Intelligence Applications software, and now you need to
apply various patches to it and the other components you installed earlier on.
Oracle have supplied a script that uses the zip archive utility you downloaded earlier on to apply the
patches, and this script uses a parameter file that allows you to specify where the patch files are located.
NOTE: Before you start the patching process though, shut down all of your BI-related products from the
OBIEE Enterprise Manager. E.g.: http://10.12.250.211:7001/em.
Stop all the other services, including weblogic, and Node Manager. The sample scripts to start and stop
services are as below:
5.7
SHUTDOWN PROCESS:
Stop all BI Services, including the node manager, and Process Manager Services
5.7.1
2.
3.
4. At this point, since the node manager was started in another shell in the background, then you will
need to kill the JVM process that the node manager is running under. There should be no risk of
corruption at this point since everything is already shutdown. If you had started the node manager
in a shell (and not in the background), then you could just close the shell.
You can use the command ps -ef | grep [os user] to check for running processes under the specified
user and then kill the JVM process with kill -9 [PID] (where PID is the process id of the running JVM)
START-UP PROCESS:
Execute:
Note: In this example, the username and password are embedded in script via WLS_USER and WLS_PW. If
you need another method or a more secure method, like a boot.properties file, then please see:
Oracle Fusion Middleware Managing Server Startup and Shutdown for Oracle WebLogic Server 11g Release 1
(10.3.1)
Execute:
Next, execute: opmnctl status or opmnctl status -l (lower case L) to ensure the processes are started
properly/completely.
The output will look similar to this:
$ORACLE_INSTANCE/bin/opmnctl status -l

PATCHING PROCESS
To prepare the parameter file for the patching utility, use a text editor such as WordPad or Notepad to edit
the c:/Middleware/Oracle_BI1/tools/bin/apply_patches_import.txt file
Go to the path as below:
and change the parameters by defining the right path as shown in example below:
# Required - Java home
JAVA_HOME=/home/oracle/RSBI/Oracle_BI1/jdk
# Required - Inventory Location
INVENTORY_LOC=/home/oracle/oraInventory
ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/RSBI/Oracle_BI1
MW_HOME=/home/oracle/RSBI/
COMMON_ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/RSBI/oracle_common
WL_HOME=/home/oracle/RSBI/wlserver_10.3
SOA_HOME=/scratch/aime/work/mw_home/Oracle_SOA1
ODI_HOME=/home/oracle/RSBI/Oracle_ODI_1
# Required - An existing writable directory to create logs and temp patch
files
WORKDIR=/home/oracle/tmp
# Required - Path of patch directory till the release patch-set folder which
is inside patches4fa/dist.
# i;e the patch-set folder for a particular release to apply patch from
# eg; /scratch/aime/tmp/ps1/biappsshiphome/patches4fa/dist/ps6rc3
PATCH_ROOT_DIR=/home/oracle/Downloads/OBIEE_OBIA_ODI/fmwplatformpatchesforOBI
A
Then, with the same text editor application, open the APPLY_PATCHES.pl file in the same directory and modify
the following lines within the download_patch routine, from the default:
Once the patches are successfully applied, we get the message as above
5.9
CONFIGURATION UTILITY
Next step in the installation process is to use the Configuration Utility to extend the Oracle BI Domain to
include the new Oracle BI Applications Java components, and add an additional WebLogic Server
managed server for the Oracle Data Integrator Java components. Before you do this though, make sure
that the Node Manager and Oracle Process Manager services are started, and you have restarted your
Oracle Business Intelligence installation using
To start the Configuration Utility, type in the following commands
When the Configuration Utility starts, at the Extend BI Domain page enter the following values:
Hostname: [pre-completed for you]
Port: 7001
Use biapps_admin (do not use weblogic, ), and the password is Eb**********. Click Next to continue
Enter the MDS schema name and password as it is created in the database, and Click Next to continue
NOTE: A number of post-installation steps now have to be performed, starting by configuring Oracle Data
Integrator to use Fusion Middleware rather than standalone security.
copy /RSBI/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/odi-client-config/embedded/jps-config-jse.xml
/RSBI/Oracle_ODI1/oracledi/client/odi/bin/
Then, using a text editor edit the /RSBI/Oracle_ODI1/oracledi/client/odi/bin/odi.conf document and replace
the line:
AddVMOption -Doracle.security.jps.config=./jps-config.xml
with the text:
AddVMOption -Doracle.security.jps.config=./jps-config-jse.xml
...so that the new wallet file is used when authenticating from Oracle Data Integrator Studio.
Then, install the Load Plan Generator plug-in for Oracle Data Integrator by unzipping the plugin archive file,
and then copying the plugin files to the Oracle Data Integrator Studio client installation.
cd /RSBI/Oracle_BI1/clients/biappsclients/odi unzip
copy lpggui.jar
/RSBI/Oracle_ODI1/oracledi/client/ide/extensions
xcopy /RSBI/Oracle_BI1/clients/biappsclients/odi/* /RSBI/Oracle_ODI1/oracledi/client/ide/extensions /s
/i /e
The patches that upgraded Oracle Business Intelligence as part of this installation also delivered an
updated version of the Oracle BI Administration tool, which needs to be installed in Windows
Desktop/workstation. To install this within your Windows, copy the required files, and install them
accordingly:
/installers/patches/biappsshiphome/generic
unzip BISHIPHOME_11_1_1_7_0_GENERIC_130409_1210_16492220.zip
16492220/files/clients/biserver/biee_client_install_x64.exe
When prompted for an install location, choose c:/obi_client/, and also distribute this installer to all other
developers working with Oracle Business Intelligence Applications 11.1.1.7.1.
The installation process also imported some files that the data loading process later on will require. To
place these files in the correct location, again from the command prompt enter the following commands:
Mkdir /RSBI/Oracle_ODI1/oracledi/etl
xcopy /RSBI/Oracle_BI1/biapps/etl
/RSBI/Oracle_ODI1/oracledi/etl /s /i /e
/RSBI/
