Hello All

I recently intalled OBIEE 12c in my machine Windows 10. Installation was successful and all the services were up, eventually when i restarted my machine, i was unable to start the services using start.cmd and gives me below :

Did you start by searching the forum?

It must be the 5th question about OBIEE 12c on Windows 10 in the last 2-3 weeks.

And the main answer is that Windows 10 isn't, like any other Windows desktop OS, a supported version for OBIEE 12c. OBIEE is a server tool not meant to run on a desktop OS on a laptop. A VM running a supported OS for OBIEE 12c is free and will take a matter of minutes to install and it just works, without issues.

@AG2023

Just to put a +1 on Gianni:

If you do this because you don't want or can't buy a Windows Server Operating System: Linux is FREE. Free as in no charge, "here's a free beer buddy", gratis, no money.

And if you do this because you do not know Linux? Guess what? The Oracle SampleApp VMs come with a GUI and you literally only need to comprehend how to press an icon in order to start the whole stack including the database etc.

And probably also the 5th OP who will abandon his thread.

Thank you for your response. Could you please provide few installation steps to install OBIEE on VM.

Hi,

I would suggest you go on a linux VM as it's free (Windows Server you can get it for trial I guess but at some point it will expire). So for linux I generally take Oracle Enterprise linux for the simple reason that Oracle also use this one (as they release it).

If you install it (latest version works fine, so 7.3) with a GUI then the install is covered in many blogs, for example you can check http://bisoftdiary.com/obiee12c_linux_installation .

If you prefer a linux without GUI then you can install using response files, you find hints here for example: https://oracle-base.com/articles/12c/obiee-12c-silent-installation-on-ol7-12212

If you still prefer to stay on a Windows Server VM you can then follow that kind of blog post https://realtrigeek.com/2016/04/07/installing-obiee-on-windows/

Finally my preferred way to install and use OBIEE lately: docker !

You find all the required things on GitHub https://github.com/gianniceresa/docker-images and also https://gianniceresa.com/2016/09/a-simple-way-to-have-an-obiee-setup-why-not-docker/ and https://gianniceresa.com/2016/09/a-full-obiee-in-1-command-docker-compose-can-do-it/ .

If you look inside the Dockerfile you also find all the commands for an install on linux without GUI.

As you see you have lot of options, without forgetting SampleApp as Christian said in his post above.

So install Virtualbox and then decide which way you want to follow (Windows or Linux, if Linux gui or no gui).

On windows 10 I still didn't test docker natively (too recent for me) so can't really say if it's a possible approach, if you are on a Mac it will works just fine or you can also install a linux VM and install docker there inside (but of course will require to be get familiar with docker first if you aren't already).

I would say the most important is that as long as you use a supported OS all the possible you will maybe have (honestly 98% chances you don't see a single one) are things easier to answer as it's possible other already get there at some point, while a Windows 10 depends too much on what else you have on your system etc (it's a too personal system compared to a clean VM install).
