Hi Atul,
I am new to OBIEE and want to know more about it’s installation. Can you please let me know the link which explains the architecture of OBIEE? Also where does database comes into picture in whole installation of OBIEE? Can we use Informix with OBIEE?

Thanks in Advance

I have some confusion between BIEE and BIDISCOVERER.

I have set up a OWB server for ETL , creating target OLAP cubes etc.

For the presentation and dasboard I am going with BI discoverer integrated with APPS server.

How different is BIEE from BI discoverer?
Which is better / easy to configure and administer.

Dear Atul,

Our Envirnoment is R12 on solaris 10 with Discoverer, i want to IMplement SSO on Oracle Appilication, When user Connect to Oracle Application if they want Discoverer reports its acessing the BI Url thorugh Oracle Application and Opening the Page with Login Cerditantials. So we want SSO over here , Once User Login No need to relogin Again.
i have Read Meatalink DOCs (373634.1 ,376811.1), but i am littel bit confuse . as per the Doc manadatory is OID,SSO Disocverer ok. when i run runInstaller (Select Installtion Type) 1)Identitiy mangmt and metadat rep 2) indentiy manamgnt 3) metadata Rep
here i confuse wither what i have to use choice above 1,2,3
or can we use R12 database.

bottom pointmy req is want discoverer should be acess through oracle application once login.
Please give littel time Extra to this issue.
i willbe thk full to u.

Hi Atul,

By any chance, have you done any integration of Discoverer with OBIEE? I am looking for some doc of using Discoverer from OBIEE. Is it possible to point OBIEE Discoverer to EUL in EBS Suite?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Atul,
We have to install OBI for demo purpose in our organization with EBS 12.1.1 I have seen in 12.1.1 documentation that there are some Intelligence stuff which comes with 12.1.1. I am not sure about what comes with this new release or it’s a separate product which we need to install separately like OBIEE and then OBI applications. I am not able to find any hint on Oracle website and Google that Release 12.1.1 has intelligence inbuilt or not. If you can guide here about do we have to install OBIEE separately with R12.1.1 and integrate, that will be great of you.

Hi Atul,

Thanks for the information and i really appreciate that. I still have some doubt about release 12.1.1 in regards to various analytics.
If you check this below link at oracle website it states that new release 12.1.1 has analytics inbuilt. Do we still have to integrate OBI applications with New EBS for some other more smart intelligence If yes, do u some idea about the difference in the standalone OBIA and inbuilt stuff. isn’t this standalone stuff for application like peoplesoft etc..
