OBIA Environments - Looking for Recommendations
Hi,
I am with a client that is looking to set up four separate environments with OBIA 11.1.1.10.2 (DEV, SIT, UAT, PROD).
The have a full OBIA OBIEE(12c) stack in DEV and SIT, but they want to just have OBIEE 12c in UAT and point the repository to the SIT DW.
What are the advantages of having them do a full OBIA installation in UAT (so basically all 4 environments) as compared to just having OBIEE 12c?
Thanks,
Cory

Wasting time and resources and money.
OBIEE 12c isn't part of OBIA out of the box, it's already setup "on the side" doing an upgrade just taking the OBIEE content. So wanting an OBIEE pointing to a different environment DB is the easiest possible thing to do.
If you setup a full OBIA you will have to maintain it, update it etc. Time wasted.

Hi,
THanks for the response. Yes, I know it would be two boxes and I know the process of utilizing 12c. The SIT and DEV environment already has it installed on it by another vendor.
So you feel that the best case scenario is to just install 12c in UAT and be done with it?

Any Oracle recommendations related to this...that you've seen?

The thing is that "they wanted it like that", so it means it's part of their process to not require UAT to be a full environment.
The theory I guess is that UAT must be just like PROD to be the closer as possible and avoid any difference between what you see in UAT and what you get in PROD. So it means the client has a different process and don't expect that.
I'm not aware of any formal Oracle recommendations on that, except maybe something along the line of what I just wrote: UAT must be as identical to PROD as possible.
But all these things are up to the client and the custom processes and methodologies used internally, nothing that Oracle will ever force. There are "good" practices at the maximum.
From my point of view having only OBIEE for UAT, as long as that's what the client asked for and you made them aware of the possible issues of that choice, it's the cheaper and easier solution. No need to maintain something which will not be used as they will point OBIEE to the SIT DW.
