Multiple OBIEE 12c installation on same server

Question

Please advise, can we install another OBIEE 12c on the existing 12c server by installing it on a separate mount point and how to manage port conflicts in the new installation as the existing installation was done on default ports.

Thank you so much,

Sreekar

Hi,

You are already getting answers in the MOSC thread you open.

Keeping it short: yes you can have as many installs as you want in a single server as long as they don't overlap on disk and that running environments don't conflicts in ports (so same ports are fine if the 2 or more instances aren't running at the same time).

How to manage port conflicts? Use different port numbers, there isn't a management needed because you should aim for not having a conflict. OBIEE has a given number of ports it needs, the install is a bit excessive by using a large range (which makes me hope it implements some 'sensing' mechanism to avoid using a port already in use by another process, but this should be tested...).
