Hi Everyone,

We're currently on Oracle 11.1.1.7.1 Version and we trying to install 12c on one of our box for testing, I have downloaded the BI client version 12c (12.2.1.3.0), Could someone please direct me to the page or installation instructions (step by step). I am new to installation.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Omar

    Hi Omar.

    The most simple installation steps are below.

    This was taken from this Blog but I was unable to find the link there. Looks like it was removed.

    Just followed them today to install a new server.

    Download everything you need from here.

    Don't rush and always pay attention to what you logs are saying. Good luck.

    Simple Installation Steps

    •JDK:

    •Install JDK 8 (1.8) from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

    •WLS - This will lay down the WLS shell:

    •Open a command window and cd (change directory) to the bin directory of the installed JDK 8 (1.8)

    •Execute the following command - java -jar C:\path_to_jar_file\wls_jrf_generic-jarfile-*.jar - substituting the directory path and downloaded jar name as necessary.

    •For example: c:\Java\jdk1.8.0_45\bin>java -jar C:\Builds\BIEE\12c\wls_jrf_generic-12.2.1.0.0-150921.1702.jar

    •BIEE Platform - This will lay down the BIEE binaries only into the WLS shell:

    •Run the downloaded biee executable 'bi_platform-12.2.1.0.0-*-win64.exe'.  Use the Oracle Home that was specified in the WLS install.

    •RCU Schema:

    •If necessary, drop previous install database schemas using 'Oracle_Home\oracle_common\bin\rcu.bat‘ or 'Oracle_Home/oracle_common/bin/ ./rcu’

    •You can either create the required schemas via RCU, or let the BI Config process create them.

    •BI Configuration - This will deploy the BIEE application to the WLS shell.

    •Execute c:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Home\bi\bin\config.cmd

    •Optionally select the create schemas option if the biee schemas were not created before hand via RCU.

    •Optionally select a migrated 11g jar file or a 12c bar file.

    •BIEE Client Tools:

    •Run the downloaded biclient executable 'setup_bi_client-12.2.1.0.0-*-win64.exe.  Specify an empty directory for 'Oracle Home'.

    •Default port for NqsODBC driver is 9514 (OBIS port).

    The "BI client" is only the Admintool, Catalog Manager and Job Manager and are client tools you install on your Windows laptop/workstation. It isn't the OBIEE itself.

    So are you asking how to install the client? Execute the file you got (if it's a zip extract it first).

    If you want to install OBIEE on your server you need to download a few more things and follow other instructions (as posted above already). In this case you maybe want to at least says which OS you are planning to install OBIEE on as things can be different from an OS to another.

    Thanks Gianni,

    You're right, I just finished the BI client on workstation box and have to still do rest of the installation , also I have to do the setting in ODBC Data source on System DSN tab. We do have a server where we installed 12C before first version which is down at the moment, Now that I have installed the BI cleint few versions up to the server version, could I still be able to work on higher version tools on BI client (workstation)12.2.1.3.0  and test server version is older version  12.2.1.2.0 ??

    You better do not mix versions, you have a 12.2.1.2.0 server then install the 12.2.1.2.0 client as well. You can have as many clients installed in the same time on your workstation, so you have the right version for the right server.
