Amol,
Unfortunately there is no metalink note yet on server but BIEE install on linux is very simple.

First check if you want Basic or Advanced .

Install JDK or 10g AS (10.1.3 or higher) for basic or advanced installation respectivily.

and then run setup.sh and rest is GUI (this will ask for destination BI_HOME & BI_DATA_HOME)

Yes you can install BI on same server as of 11i & R12 but you can not use application server of 11i & R12 as they are not of version 10.1.3.0.1

Yes , at bottom of this comment just before post my comment section , select check box and you will get e mail notification once some one reply to your comment. Weahve already incluuded this feature in our comments section.

Amol,
No probs at all, drop me a mail or comment if you wish to see any new feature on this site. Your feedback it quite important to Us.

Will the following implementation of 11i EBusiness Suite be supported for OBIEE Plus platform ?

What do you mean by supported here ? Do you wish to integrate BIEE with 11i setup mentioned above or you just wish to put BIEE on same server.

Does OBIEE Plus require hardware platform separate from the 11i hardware.
No, they can share same hardware

Any recommendations how many servers/cpus are needed as minimum install.
– Depends on your usages and number on users but for basic installation you can use even desktop (I tested installation on linux basic machine)

Is Project Analytics available in the OBIEE Suite.
– No Project Analytics is not part for OBIEE Suite for components which are part of BIEE check my first post at http://onlineappsdba.com/index.php/2007/10/17/oracle-business-intelligence-enterprise-edition-overview/

I’ll try to cover on project analytics soon

we have CentOS 5 linux,
in that we have installed 3 oracle products

oracle database
oracle Data Integrator &
Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition

oracle database 10g installed in oracle user
oracle data integrator installed in ODI user &
Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition is installed in OracleBIEE user.

Everything installed successfully
i am a oracle database DBA, i installed all this softwares.
now i have a problem in BIEE
when i executed the oc4j.jar file it showed started with some errors,but after if we try to open the URL of taht it is not opening,in windows we have installed the same,but it started and URL also working,but in linux it is not working,anything i have to make any settings for url to work in linux and i have 1 more question apart from this how to install ODBC in linux as in windows inbuilt we have but in linux i don’t know because oracle applications always ask for JDBC

Hi Atul,

We have already installed OBIEE along with Oracle AS(without Single sign on Option).We have a requirement to integrate this OBIEE to an R12 EBS.Can you send me the steps to do integrate.I found no doccuments in Metalink.Also is Single isgn on mandatory for the integration.

regards
Soumya

Thanks Atul for the quick reply.I need to install OBIEE apps now.Our OBIEE infrastructure has already been installed on a linux machine.But as said in the doccument Oracle provides OBIEE Apps installer for Windows only.If we need to go for an UNIX installation certain parts of OBIEE Apps (Information Client tools,DAC client)need to be installed on Windows machine.Is this true.Is there no way we can go on with the installation on a single UNIX machine.

Also is it advisable to carry on the OBIEE Apps installation on a Windows box and then integrateit with an R12 EBS running on a Linux machine.

Please help me on this as I am a rookie in this field.

Thanks in Advance.

Soumya.

Does this install need Oracle Applications running, or is this a seperate product by itself which I can install and later integrate with Oracle Apps

This is seperate product in itself which you can configure with Oracle Apps (11i/R12) later

Hi Atul,

I have finished downloading the biee_linux_x86_redhat_101340_disk1.cpio

Before I start, Do i have to JDK 1.5 or higher for basic install ?doesnt it come with the biee_linux_x86_redhat_101340_disk1.cpio ?

Is there any steps to do before I start actual install like prerequistes on the Linux etc ?

Thanks for your help
Suri

Suri,
You are trying to install JDK from from executable which uses GUI. Are you installing remotely ?

Can you start Xclock or and see display ?

You can install using command line

Select and downlaod binary version

From Here

Suri,
It seems you already installed JDK, and your JDK_HOME is /unzip_directory/jdk1.5.0_11

java executable should be in /unzip_directory/jdk1.5.0_11/bin/java

If not revert back with file name you used to install JDK and I’ll get back to you.

I just executed jdk-1_5_0_11-linux-i586.bin and it created directiories. Now if I say java -version I get java version “1.4.2″

Thanks

Hi Atul,

During the installation as oracle user, i keep hitting the error
WARNING: could not delete locked file /tmp/ismp002
WARNING: could not delete locked file /tmp/ismp002/9571965

i move the files and restart and again it starts the error with ismp003 etc etc

I dont know what and where this is occuring, can you provide some input please ?

thanks
Suri

Suri,
Start services on OBIEE and then access page as

http :// servername :9704/analytics

http :// servername :9704/xmlpserver

Administrator/Administrator

9704 is default port.

Atleast following components should be up tp access BIEE

1. OC4J (or application server)
2. BI Server
3. BI Presentations Services

1)Install Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.1 - This is required only if you need 10g AS Single Sign On (else use custom installation usign OC4J)

2)Install 10.2.0 Client on Solaris (Why you need this ?)

3)Install 10G database (When I install Client,does it create 10G database too) - If you install 10g Database it will install client too but not vice versa

4)Install BIEE 10.1.3.2 - OBIEE should work on Solaris but this is NOT certified on Solaris/Linux (Only BI Publisher is certified on Solaris)

Officially OBI Server is certified only on Windows

Check OBIEE certificateion guide at

For 10.1.3.2 check here

Atul,

I have 21 Gig in my linux box. How much space do you think this install needs with 10G database too?

Thanks
Suri

So, I do this for basic OBIEE install in that order:-

1) I Put jdk-1_5_0_11-linux-i586

2)I will install 10G db as it might need it for storing data,right?

3)I will install OBIEE

Thanks Atul…
