Configuration OBIA BI Apps Error: INST-07515: ODI Oracle Home not found in the inventory

User_ISOSZ

Hello,

I have installed OBIA successfully. (ODI 11.1.1.9 , OBIEE 11.1.1.9 included.)

When configuring OBIA , I came across the following problem.

INST-07515: ODI Oracle Home not found in the inventory

Install ODI Oracle Home

OBI apps installed: C:\OBI119\OracleBI1

ODI installed :  C:\OBI119\Oracle_1

I have checked oracle inventory value on regedit (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE     inst_loc=C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory)

How could i fix this error?

Thanks in advance

Not sure where you've gone wrong, but it is really easy to go wrong ... did you cover each step correctly and in order from the install manual?

I installed all packages but ODI installation path (Oracle Home Directory) in accordance with manual. Although manual recommends to install ODI on path= C:\OBI119\ (it means Oracle Home Directory on my local pc), when I selected that path, it raised error like this "Oracle home is not valid". For this reason, I set the installing path as C:\OBI119\Oracle_1 and installed with no error.

Hi,

This issue comes when the orainventory folder is different from the one BIAPPS is referring. I too faced the similar issue and debugged a lot and found the root cause.

1. Please check your /home/ where you can see oraInventory folder. Open that.

2. Open the middleware folder, you will find one more oraInventory.

3. Under /oraInventory/ContentsXML/ you will find inventory.xml

4. Compare both the files residing in both different paths. In one of the files, the xml tag with ODI content like (<REFHOME LOC="/oracle/middleware/Oracle_ODI1"/>) will be missing. Modify the xml file accordingly an make sure both are same with both ODI and OBI tags. Save and re-run the installer.

It will work..

Thanks,

Thank you for your response. I applied your suggestion but it didnt work.

I have changed oraInventory path and tried it again. Same error raised.

Once I ran configuration exe, Oracle Home value corresponds to "C:\OBI119\OracleBI1" in the following screenshot. It is different from the path ( C:\OBI119\Oracle_1) I installed ODI on.   Could it account for that problem?

Hi,

No need to change the oraInventory path. If possible can you upload the inventory.xml file once. As I mentioned before, if you have oraInventory in different paths, upload both inventory.xml files..

Thanks,

One more thing to mention here.. Oracle Home will be your Oracle_BI1 only. That is correct. But the instance here it's showing instance2..

Are you having 2 instances on the machine or only one? check in C:\OBIEE119\instances folder whether your are having instance1 folder.

Thanks,

Yaswanth
