Obiee 12.2.1.3 Fresh install and not login in analytics

Gianni Ceresa

OBIEE 12c is by default an enterprise install. It isn't like in 11g when you had "simple installation" and "enterprise installation".

Even not using SSO you are supposed to use an enterprise LDAP or AD, the embedded LDAP in weblogic is suggested only up to a limited number of users and mainly in a sandbox / dev setup. Still using an LDAP / AD doesn't mean SSO at all.

Creating accounts is fine: you add a user in weblogic, you add it to an application role and done, the user can login.

For an "enterprise" install you could use a response file which make the install automated and reproducible. For real customer's setups I would never do a GUI install, that's definitely just for sandbox VMs or trying. A silent install is the way to go as you can install multiple environments all identical to each other.

The one has nothing to do with the other. User management is not SSO and vice versa. Also managing users "in OBI" - meaning in WLS - is something that even Oracle themselves have always said is a bad idea.

As Gianni said: Every OBI is "enterprise". There are thousands of installations running and getting a new 12.2.1.4 to run is a question of hours even if you choose the GUI instead of the command line (response file).

What does that mean? An out-of-the-box installation is not what the customer wants? What DO they want then?

Hello people,

I removed the installation of obiee 12.2.1.3 and change to 12.2.1.4.

Although stayed a little bit worried for this install. Because Im not used to it.

So, the installation in standalone mode worked fine, by now.

Thanks all

Good to know.

Keeping it simple is the best way to go, and at least you are on the latest version currently supported, so all good for future updates etc.
