Oracle business intelligence standard edition Virtual machine

Sunny86

Hello experts,

Can i download oracle business intelligence standard edition one pre installed in a virtual machine? similar like sampleapp vm in oracle linux

No. There is only SampleApp.

Any anyways if you really are looking for the Standard Edition - it's really old and made up of deprecated technologies: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-standard-edition/overview/index.html

Which tool could be ideal for building a small scale bi system for a small organization with only 2 users. Just to build a test system.

"tool"? Define tool ...

You can setup a VM, a container or install it on a server.

As there isn't one ready to use you have to install it yourself, so the "technical" solution doesn't really matter....

I have to develop a small scale reporting system. OBIEE is heavy and not required as it is very small system. That is why i was searching for standard edition. Instead of obiee can you kindly suggest something else.

Who is going to pay?

Because licensing is the keyword in the end ...

Did you look at cloud? In OAC you can get a small instance and it's provided "ready to use", so maybe it's a solution.

Then you have Data Visualization Desktop which could be enough.

Gianni was faster, but - yeah it comes down to who will be paying and how much. Oracle has cloud, on-premises and desktop solutions. OAC for cloud, OBIEE for on-premises and DVD for the desktop respectively.

But I suggest you rather have a proper look at what you are trying to do and what you really NEED - not "what people dream up as what they could want".

For basic reporting a lot of times even a simple APEX application is sufficient. And APEX is free when you already have the database
