Java version might be the issue ...

Look at the certification matrix for OBIEE 12c: minimum supported java is 1.8.0_51, so with your 1.7.0_15 you are a bit .... outdated ...

It's a good thing the RCU crashed as at least you didn't really start installing things with no chance to have it working.

skipped running RCU.sh separately instead of it directly ran config.sh from middleware/oracle_home/bi/bin...no issue of java currently its running with 1.7 only

thanks,

And the day you have issues don't even try to contact Oracle for any support and if you post back here start by saying you are using 12c with Java 1.7 so people will just tell you it's not certified ....

If you are just setting up a sandbox to look at tool fine, but if you are planning to really using it I would suggest you double think if it's not better to at least have a certified setup ...
