OBIEE – Step by Step Installation

Atul,

I reading your blogs from long time. You were writing very interesting posts earlier. Nowadays you are writing more on installation or some very basic posts. I think you should pick a topic and write proper post various parts which will help the user to learn specific product.

All these installation are very well given on oracle site. If you finding any workaround or issues then you discuss with installation is good approach to write a post.

Rest on you. Nowadays it is more quantity on your blog then quality.

Please write like Anil,Sam are some examples.

All the best. Keep it up.

Hi Atul,
This is a very good doc. Keep it up. I installed the OBIEE as per this doc and everything went quite well.

But after the install when I try to login to BI Publisher, I get the following error:

Login failed, Please try again

I can login to Administration successfully though. Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Paul,
What URL and Password you are using ?

Hi Atul,

I really like your posts as cover many areas and different products so i think your are the man of my question I need to start to make a server sizing for three of oracle products which I think you have a good knowledge about those products are :

1. oracle E-Business Suite R12
2. UCM Content Managment
3. OBIEE

my work experience is in 11i so these products is some what new for me

so if you got a documented sizing document for these product specifically it is greatly appreciated to share

thanks in advance

Mohamed

Mohamed,
UCM and OBIEE comes with with many components, What all components you/your client is planning to Use ?
or
Are you in situation where customer is not aware of what they want and simply asked you to prepare sizing for OBIEE and UCM

Hi Atul,
thanks for response
I know about the components but what I meant here is if you can provide me a documented questionnaire to guide the sizing process
for UCM it wil be Document managment application with the infrastructure
for OBIEE it will be the full Suite and Hyperion is in plane

thanks

Oracle has alliances with all the hardware players it certifies, For example (IBM for AIX, HP for HP-Ux, Sun for Sparc..). Contact your Oracle salesperson, They will put you in touch with the appropriate hardware center which in turn will help guide your hardware sizing based on some pre defined set of questions.

If you want to do it yourself

For OBIEE hardware sizing, start from question form based on document here http://www-03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/PRS2930

For UCM harware sizing , check installation guide of each UCM component (Content Serevr, Document Management, Web Content Management ….)

Atul,
iam trying to install OBIEE .. I had installed the Application server 10.1.3.1 (J2ee & HTTP Server) But i didn,t installed the DB.. Can we use the E busniess suite DB (12.0.4) which already existing in that box

Here am using the advanced Obiee installation mode ..getting the error “Not selecting the proper oracle_home which has OC4J as home

Pls reply me asap… this is really critical for me

Kiran,
Yes you could use 12.0.4 DB but this is not recommended (better go for standaone 10.2.0.1 and then upgrade it to 10.2.0.2 and use for OBIEE)

For –
“Not selecting the proper oracle_home which has OC4J as home –
echo $ORACLE_HOME (send us output)
opmnctl status (from above oracle_home)

what oracle_home location you are giving when installing OBIEE

Atul… Thanks for u r reply..

I installed the Application server 10.1.3.1 for atleast 3 times and installation type is “J2EE Server and Web Server” because i need the componets “Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle Containers for J2EE (OC4J), and Oracle Process Manager & Notification Server (OPMN)” for Obiee

I have specified the oc4j Instance name as “OCFCFG1” and used default ports (7777) and it didn,t asked the DB and installtion went successfull..

But when iam installing the OBIEE,when I gave the Application server Location (Oracle_home)
echo $ORACLE_HOME
/u02/oracle/http/10.1.3.1
& gave the OC4Jadmin password, & next screen am getting error is “Please specify the valid

contunue
======
oracle application 10g instalaltion location. A Vaid oracle application installation 10g instalaltion must have default oc4j instance named home and that home oc4j must be enabled”

Please let me know
1) At the time of instalaltion of Application server 10.1.3.1,do we need to take the oc4j instance as home
2) Are we not supposed define our own name for OC4J Instance

3) How do we enable the OC4J Instance?

can you please let me know your thoughts on this

Kiran,
leave oc4j name to default value “home” and try

Thanks Atul… I had successfully installed the OBIee..

But iam not able start the OBIEE processs (BI SERVER)
When i issued the below cmd…

./run-sa.sh stop

sorry pls read the above cmd as ./run-sa.sh start

Kiran,
What is your O.S. locale (language)? Type “locale” to find o.s. locale.

It seems BI server is using EN_US.UTF-8 as default locale which is missing (not suppported) by your operating system.

Thanks Atul,
Here goes the locale info of my server
locale
LANG=en_US
LC_COLLATE=”en_US”
LC_CTYPE=”en_US”
LC_MONETARY=”en_US”
LC_NUMERIC=”en_US”

==================================
I have asked SA to install the EN_US.UTF-8 on this server. We have Rel 12 is eixsting on this server & if we install the EN_US.UTF-8, does it over weites the existing ones (en_US)..This will create any issue? pls let me know

2) For some reason, Oracle Application server EM is not coming up..giving error as “page cannot be displayed” (servername:7777/em).. All the OPMN services are Up & running

Can you pls let me know the issue?

Thanks a lot for ur help so far

The em(servername:7777/em) was not coming since when i installed OBIEE on the application server 10.1.3.1 .. The application ws working before

Kiran,

1. If we install the EN_US.UTF-8, does it over weites the existing ones (en_US)..This will create any issue?

I don’t see any issues here , confirm with Oracle Support

2. The em(servername:7777/em) was not coming

Start em using

opmnctl startproc application=ascontrol

quick question:- I had created respository file (OBID.rpd)in /u02/oracle/obiee/OracleBI/server/Repository..What this file do… do i need to mention the DB settingg on this rpd file?

Atul..

can you pls let me know how do i create respository in AIX for OBIEE 10.1.3.4 installation ..

Where do i need to add data source to connect the DB

Pls let me know.. My release date is coming nearer

I get this error when i start setup.sh from unzipped file directory:

Then I unzipped the files under / filesystem and successfully started the installer, by still modifying the setup.sh file for 1.5.x jdk home. But the installer fails at 1% complaining about .variant.sh files.

Any idea

Atul,

Where can download ORACLE BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE ENTERPRISE EDITION 10.1.3.2 for Solaris x86 32-bit ?

I don’t there is one specific for solaris X86

http://www.oracle.com/

Check with Oracle Support or try sparc one

Hi,

Any response to my question will be great. I tried JAVA_OPTS, but that did not help.

Regards,

Jagdeep

Whats in /oradata04/oracle/orabiee/log/install.log

Do you see UnixChk.sh in software ?
It should be in $SOFTware_dir/[your_os]/Server/Oracle_Business_Intelligence

for linux

$SOFTware_dir/RH_Linux/Server/Oracle_Business_Intelligence

Yes. I did run UnixChk.sh and it is SUCCESSFUL!! I tried to install software on windows, and it went fine.

Thanks,

The issue was with the stupid .profile.

Hi Atul,

Can u tell me hoe to integrate the SSO integration on OAM using OBIEE.

Hi Atul,

When i installed the OBIEE on IIS server,Analytics or installed on port number 80 and all the things are installed under 9704.Is It indicating the installation is not successfully or not?

i am new to OID and All this things..

Thanks
Vasavi

In your case it seems web server in front is IIS which is listening on port 80.

Is this case ?

It seems installation is correct you just need to sort out which application in BIEE (Publisher, Analytics) is using which port to access.

Hi Atul,

Yes it seems to be My server is IIS.And all the servers are running fine.After integrating for SSO like changing the files credintialstore.xml and instanceconfig.xml.At this point when i am trying to restart the servers i am not able to restart the BI Publisher..It is giving the error like do descryption id there for imersonation

Thanks
Vasavi

Hi Atul,

Do we need to install any standalone database before installing obiee and if yes which is the minimum required version.

Thanks
Girish.

Girish,
DB is not required for OBIEE installation.

The repository entries and other information are stored in the xml files on the operating system.

I followed below steps to start.

1. ./oc4j -start
2. ./run-sa.sh start

Execute the following command to check the Oracle BI Server logfile and see if it started.

Is BI URL not working (if not what URL you are using) ?

H Atul,

You are writing very interesting posts. I think ‘Basic Installation’ note are very useful to people like me, keep writing basic things also.
All these installation given on oracle site are very clumsy, I feel no comfort. But your posts supplements user-friendliness.
All the best. Keep it up.

Hi Atul

I am trying to install OBIEE version 10.1.3.4.0 using biee_windows_x86_101340_disk1 on windows vista Home premium Service Pack 1.

I have created JAVA_HOME with the path: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_07\bin

i have followed all the screen shots above, but hit this problem:
‘Please specify a location for a valid JDK installation.’

I am at a loss to understand what am i doing wrong?

Could you please help me out.
Thanks

Sachin

Hi Sachin,

You need provide the path of the JDK not jre. Try by installing the jdk(Java Development kit) not JRE (Java Run time Environment).If you have the bin folder unser the C:\program files\java\bin.. provide the path like “C:\Program files\Java”.

hi Atul, Thanks for so informative Blog.
I have aquestion here.

Today is my first day to start wiht OBIEE. I have installed it successfully on my personla PC and created a repository using MS access as database.

After this I tried to connect to Presentation Service which ran into error saying IE can not open the page.
All my internet is running up-to-date (otherwise how could I post this Q :)) .
It trying to connect to link

Hello Atul,

i m littlebit confuse, working with BIEE do we need database server or not, one post your are telling no need DB server for BIEE, one post you are telling to use stand alone DB server, wand can use e-business suit db server(not recomended)

we have db server alone, citrix alone using the db server, now i need to use BIEE, where can i install it, is it in citrix server?

if i install like, could i connect the dbserver witch we have, or BIEE itself having DB server ?

pls reply as soon as possible

Hi,

Like the way we connect normal Oracle clients with a server database via tnsnames.ora, How we do the same mapping in case of Oracle BI client and server where they both reside in different physical machines?

I have both client and server in my machine and with the help of NQSConfig.INI file we can map the rpd file resided in OracleBI\Server\Repository. But I am not sure how to establish the mapping when client and server reside in different machines. Can anybody please help me ?

Hi,

I am new to OBIEE. i need to setup OBIEE server, please provide me any document that details the steps to follow for OBIEE server setup.
i did refer installation guide, more precise doc like with screen shots will be more helpful

OBIEE version 10.x and to be installed on Windows 2003 server.
we are planning to install all components on single machine.

one more ?, generally on server, do we have Advanced or basic installation

Your suggesations are most valued

Thanks in advance
Anil

@ Anil,
Steps mentioned above should be enough to get you started on OBIEE and you can prepare your own step by step and share with readers.

Q. generally on server, do we have Advanced or basic installation ?
A. Its up to your requirement but usually on server its better to go for adanced as you get flexibility to configure components at install time

Atul and All,

I get the following message when trying to install OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1 on my personal Windows XP Prof.

“Please specify a valid Oracle Application Server 10g installation location. A valid Oracle Application Server 10g

installation must have Oracle Container for J2EE (OC4J) and Oracle Process Manager and Notification Server (OPMN)

installed. The default OC4J instance must be named home.”

This is where I got stuck. I scanned thru the blog but I didnt notice any clear response on this message. I literally got stuck at this point. Any help would be appreciated.

Prior to installing OBIEE, I have installed Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 which works just fine. In your step-by-step instructions I noticed to choose JAVA_HOME location but not ORACLE_HOME. In my case I get the prompt for ORACLE_HOME. I chose the location as C:|oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1. Later I get the above message to specify a valid OAS 10g installation.

Please help.

PS

@ PS,
Are you doing basic install or advanced ?

For advanced install you need 10g AS Release 3 (J2ee & opmn install)

Thanks, I am doing advanced install.

Hello Atul,

I have installed it and it worked for me, but if I want to configure my own datawarehouse to Oracle Answers, then where should I do it.

Hi Atul,
I have been able to successfully install OBIEE on linux, however, I do not know where to install the Admin tool for creating and editing rpd on my Windows XP machine.
Also, can you let me know the step by step of transferring rpd files from Windows to Linux.
Anything in particular that I need to take care about.

thanks

But it continued the installationa and After Complete installtion the “BIServer” Services is not starting up.

My Environment is Win XP with SP3 Enterprise Edition OBIEE 10.1.3.3.

Could u pls helpme out.

Hi Atul,
Can you help me. I have tu restart analytics and Publisher. But I have acces to application Server control.
Error occured during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap.
thanks

@ Dris,
Which application server you are using ? (Oracle 10g AS, WebLogic or Tomcat)

This issue is mainly because of insufficient free memory on server .

Two options :
1. Increase free memory on server
2. Decrease JVM heap size (this should be in environment file as per application server)

If this is weblogic then check http://focusthread.com/blog/oracletraining/developertechnical/bpel-soa/error-occurred-during-initialization-of-vm-could-not-reserve-enough-space-soabpel11g-training-environment-setup/

Hi Atul,

For the third party installation a use Java sdk 1.5.
I do not have error during my installation by I can not display analytics and Publisher.
Thanks

Hi Folks,

I have windows 7 on may machine,how can i install obiee on windows 7.

Hi Atul,

I am trying to install OBIEE 10.1.4.1 on SUN Solaris SPARC 64 bit environment and am getting the OutOfMemoryError mentioned earlier in this blog.

jagdeep mentioned that he resolved the issue by unzipping files under / (root) directory. Whats is the logic of this resolution, I mean what does it fix in the original problem? I will need to ask my SA to do it since i do not have the permissions on root.

Please clarify.

Thanks,
Kiran

Hi Kiran

That is an old story now. The trick is to start a new session of unix as the user who is going to install OBIEE. Do not su to the user. Open a new session of shell and login as the orabiee (example) user and do the installation. This will source your display also and do the install. Let me know if you face any issue. This works fool proof. I have done umpteen installations now. (jsethi3@yahoo.com). Good Luck

No need to unzip in the root anymore.

Thanks,

Jagdeep

Hi Atul,
I have installed OBIEE 10.3.4.1 in a linux machine.
I am gettng the follwoing error while starting the BI server,in the nqsserver.out.log file.

error while loading shared libraries: libmdxmembernamecache.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

BI server is not getting started.

Please clarify.

Hi OBIEE gurus,

I’m trying to install OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1 on Windows server 2008 with JDK 1.6.0_20.

In the past I’ve successfully installed on Windows server 2003 but only after changing some security settings.

For the Windows 2008 install I’ve progressively made the OS as insecure as possible (aws scratch environment). I’ve tried localsystem and a named administrator. I am still getting the following error in the log:

(May 24, 2010 2:00:17 PM), Install.product.install, com.siebel.analytics.install.ExecWizardActionCustom, err, com.installshield.util.ProcessExecException: CreateProcess: C:\OracleBI\oc4j_bi\bin\oc4j.cmd -start error=3
STACK_TRACE: 7
com.installshield.util.ProcessExecException: CreateProcess: C:\OracleBI\oc4j_bi\bin\oc4j.cmd -start error=3

at com.siebel.analytics.install.ExecWizardActionCustom.run(ExecWizardActionCustom.java:79)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)

I had this previously in 2003 but got around it by changing the local security policy. Any ideas for Windows 2008? I believe it is compatible with OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1?

You make a poor brazilian happy in this bad day! TY

Hi Atul: I’m new to OBIEE and trying to install based on this doc on Windows 7-64 bit on home premium but i’m getting into the window-7 error and also tried with the workaround but i still can’t pass thru the error with non-supported OS versions. What am i missing? I tried for windows xp as well as windows vista, non of them seems to be helping.

i greatly appreciate your help.

thanks

Hi Atul: I have one question regarding Oracle BI Publisher.
I schedule one report in BI publisher and in history its showing status as ‘Running’ from a long time, I want to terminate that process and want to stop the running report.
But as I don’t no much about OBIEE I am unable to do that. Could you please help me with this.

Thanks
Minakshi

Hi Atul,

I installed OBIEE with ur help.Now want to configure adminstration tool to connect to schema in Oracle 11g, So went
obi->Administartion tool->New Repository->ocl 10g/11g->but there i saw need data source name and un and pwd.

From where i can get this info.
I don’t have db installed in my machine.

I could find this file tnsnames.ora only in
C:\Oracle11gOBIEER1\Oracle_BI1\network\admin\sample

This file is having just syntax descriptions.It don’t have any data.

Thanks

@ Akshara,
Which OBIEE version ?

If 11g, Where is database for OBIEE which you installed ?

If 10g, install database client and configure TNS (using net config) and point it to existing database.

If you don’t have database either then you can install database on same machine or different machine (If you are installing database then databse client is not required – DB server comes with client)

Hi Atul,

Thanks for reply.
I installed OBI 11.1.1 on my machine.
The 11g db is installed on a server machine.
While creating the RCU i gave the
Hostname, port and service name of that server and it got connected.

After installing bi
Now when i am trying to import metadata ,by going to
obi->Administartion tool->New Repository->ocl 10g/11g,In the
data source name i gave the host:port:service name
un: schema username
pwd :schmea pwd (schema from where i want to fetch the table.)

But its showing connection failed?

Thanks

@ Akshara,
Install database client on your machine first and then use netca to configure servive_name in tnsnames.ora on your PC which points to database server.

Then use host:port:service name

Atul,

I have been a quiet student of your blog for a long time. Your postings deliver tremendous value and newbee like me get great insight on OBIEE.

This time around, I have a project on BI APPS 7.9.5 (Not OBIEE 11g) but BI APPS 7.9.5 that comes with Oracle EBS R12.06

This is about BI Apps 7.9.5 on Windows Server 2003.

We have a need to migrate current BI Production Instllation (Two nodes DAC/Informatica layer and BI Apps) from one node to another.

Take a Look at Following – This is the current architecture of our current BI Production Box

————————————————————————————–

|——————-| |————————|
| | | |
| *NODE A* | | *NODE B* |
| [INFORMATICA/DAC] | | [BI APPS Dashboards |
| | | |
| | | |
|——————-| |————————|
^ ^

|——————————————————————–|
| | OMEGA – MACHINE | |

| |———————| |——————–| |
| | | | | |
| | Repository DB | | BI APP DB | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
| |———————| |——————–| |
|——————————————————————–|

——————————————————————————————–

From above diagram following things are clear

1. There are two Nodes – Node A and Node B. Node A houses Informatica/DAC layer and Node B houses BI Apps Dashboards [This is Win Server 2003]
2. There are two Oracle database instances – 1) Repository DB and 2) BI App DB, and they both reside on same machine called Omega(solaris).

The Challenge

Node A and Node B are outdated and desupported boxes. We have bought two bigger boxes with same processor but with better RAM and processing power. We will call them NODE C and NODE D. Both of these new machines (Node C and Node D) are also Win server 2003.

We want to replace NODE A with NODE C And NODE B with NODE D.

The question

If we perform disc copy by getting the image of Node A and Node B and then replace that to Node C and Node D respectively, will it cause any issue to BI installations ? or will it cause any issue in connecting to OMEGA box? What are risks?

So, In the end new archiecture should look like following.

————————————————————————————————
|——————-| |————————|
| | | |
| *NODE C* | | *NODE D* |
| [INFORMATICA/DAC] | | [BI APPS Dashboards]|

Hi Atul

I am installing OBIEE 11g with a Oracle 10g as repository on Win XP 32 bit machine and every thing is working file till the step 11(configuration module). Its throwing class not found exception while creating ASInstance in the configuration setup.
Please reply soon.

Thanks and Regards

Hi Atul,

Actually my requriment is, need to change the obiee url (http://localhost:9704/analytics) instead of this i need http://voc.bi/analytics
is it possible in BI.

Could you please replay…

Thanks,
Vijay.

@ Vijay,
Yes this is possible. Which OBIEE version you are using (10g or 11g) ?

Hi Atul,
Your information is very good!!!
Is it possible to to know the steps how OBIEE ver 10g can be integrated with R12 and how the data can be accessed.
Thanks in advance!!!

Regards
Kalyan

Hello,

I installed OBIEE 11.1.1.5 linux.
Then installed BI client tool in windows.

Is there a tnsnames.ora file in the BI client machine.
What i want is i would like to create a repository in the client m/c with the connection type as OCI 10g/11g and then the dsn name same as tnsnames.ora file entry?

Thanks
Akshara

@ Akshara,
No, I have not seen any tnsnames.ora which comes with BI client but if you have Database Client (with Admin tool) then you should be able to create tnsnames.ora

You can also copy tnsnames.ora from any other machine in to your client machine to location %TNS_ADMIN%

If this variable is not set then place tnsnames.ora in %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin

Hi Atul,

These posts are very helpful,thanks for sharing.

Hello Atul,

I am using OBIEE 11g, i would like to know if its possible to have only one export button per page for all the reports in one dashboard page.

I have some 25 reports in one dashboard page and the user need to go to each and every report to export, rather is it possible to have just one export button to that page which can export all the reports to one PDF/PPT?XLS?

Thanks
Akshara

Hi Atul,
Please provide information / step by step procedure on installing BIAPPS 7962(OBIEE, BIAPPS, INFORMATICA, DAC) on a 64 bit Linux.
I have to do the installation in dev/test/prod.
Thanks much!!

HiAtul,

I am getting following error on OBIEE install 64bit on windows 2008 server:

nqsclustercontroller.exe has stopped working

Any thoughts on this?

Appreciate your help.

Thanks.

Hi Atul,

We have an OBIEE 10.1.3.3.2 instance. I would like to upgrade this to 11g. Could you please tell me, whether I can upgrade directly to 11.1.1.5?

Regards,
Sajeesh

Hi Atul,

we are having a clustered environment in our obiee 10g where we have jboss and apache pieces why do we require jboss and apache in obiee 10g what is the role of each of them in obiee

@ Rahul,
OBIEE is j2ee application which runs on application server. JBoss is J2EE application server and Apache HTTP server is webserver. I am assuming in your case OBIEE is deployed in JBOSS (application server deployed to run OBIEE). Apache HTTP server is webserver to sitting in DMZ as reverse proxy infront of JBoss.

@ Atul,

thanks for your clarification. thanks a ton

Hi all,
After installation of OAS i am getting an error as:
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Could not create the Java virtual machine.
what changes should i make to opmn.xml file??
Please suggest

@ Mayuri M,
Error message indicates that you do not have enough memory available on server (that can be allocated to JVM – Java Virtual Machine)

How much free memory do you have on server ?

Sorry to say but how do i check the memory on Server??
I have following values in the opmn.xml file for OC4J module :

=”-Xrs -server -XX:MaxPermSize=256M -ms1536M -mx1536M -XX:NewSize=256M -XX:MaxNewSize=256M

This means JVM is configured for 1.5 GB size , you should have atleast 1.75 GB free memory on server.

If this is Linux you can use “top” or “free -m”

Hi, i’m trying to install BIEE version
10.1.3.2.1 in OEL 5,But the setup stops with the reason OEL 5 is not supported for this version. Please tell me what packages i need to install in my machine to run this setup.

@ Venkat,
If OBIEE 10.1.3.2.1 is not certified with OEL 5 then you could hit issues.

Start installation and if you hit problem post it here and will then suggest missing packages based on error message

Hi Atul,
Good stuff on OBIEE.Its made me help lots

Hi Atul,

My name is Priya,am new to OBIEE.
please can you help me with OBIEE Issue.

I installed oracle database 11g R2 and OBIEE 10.1.3.4.2(I got it from oracle website)on Windows 7 Ultimate.Softwares installed sucessfully.

but during the process of creating a New repository I got a problem.
After entering Data source name:SH
TNS service name:ORCL
user id & pwd:SH
and when am trying to Hit Test connection In Oracle ODBC Driver configuration It has given the following error.

Unable to connect SQLstate=S1000[oracle][ODBC][ora]ORA-28000:The account is locked.

Before creating New repository in the prerequisites its asking to install
the sample schemas and establishing a Database connection OBE tutorial,but I did’nt installed that.

so do you think the problem could be with this because I have not installed sample schemas.

even I tried to install that but I could not able to find the proper sample schemas for that.
please help me sir

@ new2obiee,
Reset password of SH as

Try using this new password.

In order to change PWD do I need to login as sysdba or it should be in sql plus environment,please can you give the complete query which is used to change PWD.

Login as sysdba

sqlplus “/as sysdba”

SQL> alter user SH identified by welocme1 ;

Try using this new password as welcome1

Hi Atul,

Test connection shown successful,when I changed password to welcome1.
but when I tried to Import SH schema from OBIEE Admin Tool the SH schema is not appearing in the select data source under connection type under ODBC 3.5.I can see only DSN:Analytics web and Driver:Oracle BI server in select datasource under ODBC 3.5.and even I cannot see the SH schema under any connection type.
but even the SH schema as added under system DSN under ODBC Data source Administrator.Please can you suggest what I need to do.

Not even a single person is there in this blog to resolve a basic and simple question which I posted on August 17th or otherwise you guys are just Ignoring it as a silly question.when I have seen this blog for first time I expected a lot from this blog and thought my issue will be fixed so easily but now am totally disappointed the way that no one is caring at all.

Hi sir,

Do you provide any type of online training.
am looking for a online training for OBIEE.
If so please can you provide all the details at my email I’d

Atul,

Please can you tell me whether OBIEE 10g/11g can be installed on Windows 7 Home premium OS with 64 bit.

I mean will Windows 7 Home premium supports OBIEE 10g or 11g.

@New2obiee/Priya

yes you can install obiee 10g/11g on windows 7 machine without any problems. But for 10g you just need to right click on the setup.exe file and run compatibility check then you should be good.

Can anyone provide similar step by step OBIEE Installation for the latest downloadable version in 11G 11.1.1.6.

Purpose is to learn OBIEE on home computer and have access to vision instance.

I am stuck at one point – RCU installation.

Is it necessary to have Repository Creation Utility installed on my machine?

I did download RCU while activating started getting some error around database version 11.1.0.7.0 not being a supported version.

Look forward to some suggestions that a functional person can follow.

thanks
