Issues While Installing OBIEE11.1.1.9.0 on MS Windows Server 2012 SP2

user11183570

Hello Experts,

We are installing OBIEE11.1.1.9.0 on MS Windows Server 2012 SP2. It was installing (Enterprise Install - Create New BI System) smoothly however in the last configuration Progress Page at 27% it was stuck. As per oracle's recommendation -

This is a problem with WebLogic Server installing on Windows 2012 R2. Which is documented in the unpublished bug 16844206 WLST CANNOT GET ENV ON WINDOWS SERVER 12 WITH MINIMAL ENV

ODM Action Plan -

Install Java 1.7.

Install WebLogic Server 10.3.6.

Patch WebLogic Server with Patch 16844206.

Perform a software-only install of OBIEE 11.1.1.9.0.

Configure OBIEE

Following the same we did -

a) Installed weblogic 10.3.6

b) Dowbloaded the patch and ran from both GUI and command prompt -

1. When ran from GUI

Downloaded Patch_16844206. copied content of this zip file with the exception of README file to your SmartUpdate cache directory (MW_HOME/utils/bsu/cache_dir by default). Ran bsu.cmd file located in the folder WM_HOME/Middleware/utils/bsu to open Oracle Smart Update utility - And then in "Downloaded Patches" table ffound Patch Id SRSV Bug 16844206 and then clicked on Apply.

However after doing that a "Performing Validation" pop up appears and it is stuck for 90 mins at that same position. (see screenshot)

2. When ran from command prompt -

\app\Oracle\Middleware\utils\bsu>bsu.cmd -prod_dir=D:\app\Oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3 -patch_download_dir=D:\app\Oracle\Middleware\utils\bsu\cache_dir -status=downloaded -view -verbose

Exception in thread "Main Thread" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError

\app\Oracle\Middleware\utils\bsu>bsu.cmd -prod_dir=D:\app\Oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3 -patchlist=23698 -verbose -install

Exception in thread "Main Thread" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError

Any solution?

Many Thanks,

Hello All,

As per Oracle's advise the was solved as described below -

It is failing with OutOfMemory. Increase the memory allocated to the bsu process. Change the following line in bsu.cmd

set MEM_ARGS=-Xms256m -Xmx512m

to

set MEM_ARGS=-Xms1024m -Xmx1024m

Basically you need to open bsu.cmd in notepad and then change the above parameter. And then again run. And it will work.

Many Thanks,
