III.
Prerequisite
On Linux, running
Oracle Business Intelligence 11.1.1.6 Installer as the root user is not
supported.
Make sure there is a
user available with the oinstall group and dba group memberships assigned.
Create MiddlewareHome
Directory in a location where there is sufficient space available.
Use the command df –h to check space available to you for the install and space for the installation files.
Use the command df –h to check space available to you for the install and space for the installation files.
When you have found
the directory where you would like to install then create a middleware home.
IV. Creation of
Middleware Home Directory
Log in as root and make a new
directory as follows,
mkdir -p /MiddlewareHome
chown -R wishtree:oinstall /MiddlewareHome
chmod -R 775 /MiddlewareHome
chown -R wishtree:oinstall /MiddlewareHome
chmod -R 775 /MiddlewareHome
When installation starts it will run a prerequisite
check on the system to make sure all libraries needed for the install are
available. You can either use YUM or the above link in the document to download
the required libraries identified during the prerequisite check.
V. Libraries
for Linux
If Libraries need to be installed cancel the install – Download
and install the libraries using the commands below:
To install: rpm –ivh
<package_name>
VI. Ulimits
Set the Ulimit Parameters
(Soft and Hard Limits)
set the /etc/security/limits.conf file
oracle soft nofile 4096
oracle soft nofile 4096
oracle hard nofile
65536
If you have set
the Ulimits in the conf file above then the Linux instance will need a bounce for
the settings to be set on boot up.
To set ulimit, you
can execute the below command, log in as root,
Ulimit -n 4096
To see if you
have set the ulimit correctly the command to use is :
ulimit –a | grep open
VII. Creating
an RCU on Database
As we are
running OBIEE on Linux 64 Bit platform, we have to create the RCU from a
Windows Machine. We are using windows 7 for this. This utility can be run any
time prior to the OBIEE installation and the database user must have sysdba
privilege on the required database. Database version we are using is
11.2.0.2.0.
1. Start rcu.sh
2.
Click Next.
3. Fill in the relevant details.
This can be found in the tnsnames.ora file for the database that
you want install the RCU on.
Click Next.
4. Ignore the Warning for database supported versions.
5. Select Create to create a new schema in database.
6. Click Ok when
operation is completed.
7. Click Oracle Business Intelligence and click Next. Make a
note of the Prefix.
8. Click Ok when operation is completed.
9. Select Use passwords for all schema. Set the password for both the schema which you are going to
create in your database.
10. Make a note of your schema Owners and Click Next.
11. Click Ok to
confirm the Tablespaces.
12. Create Ok when operation
completed.
13. Make sure summary is ok and
you have taken down all notes and click Create.
14. You will get a completion Summary. Click Close.
That's it. If
you login to your database, you will see 2 schemas with their
objects have been created ready to support your OBIEE main installation.
VIII. OBIEE
11.1.1.7.0 Installation
Unzip the
installation files on the Linux box
When you issue
the first unzip command it will create a bishiphome directory and with increate
sub directories for the disks.
If you do not

restart the installer. If succeed, click Next.
8. Step 5: Point to Middleware Directory Created
earlier on install guide. And Click Next.
9. Step
6: Fill in Weblogic and your password. Click Next.
10. Step 7: Select components to install. Click Next.
11. Step 8: Fill in Database Details related to RCU Created.

You
can use this file for another installation if needed.
16. Step 11: Click Install.
Install stage of copying files has started,
post install scripts and one off patches etc.
Once at 100% the copying is complete.
17. Step 12: Installation has started configuring OBIEE.
This is where the Installer is
Configuring OBIEE 11.1.1.6 and Weblogic and Fusion
Middleware etc. Make sure everything is Success,
and then only everything will be working as
