PRE OBIEE INSTALLATION STEPS IN LINUX
For successful Oracle BI
Server operations under Linux operating systems, please check the following
before installing OBIEE:
Ø If you are installing the Basic option (OBI
without integrating into OAS), JD1.5.0 must be installed before Oracle BI. http://java.sun.com/products/archive/
Ø For a list of commonly used Unix/Linux
commands please visit the link belfrom www.FOSSwire.com
v

Ø If you
are installing the Advanced option, Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.or greater
must be installed before Oracle BI.
v Make a note of the OAS installation path
since you’ll need it during tOBI installation.
v You will need to oc4jadmin password for the
OBI installation as well
Ø For running Oracle BI Server and Oracle BI
Presentation Services, set thefollowing parameters:
§ File handle limit: at least 10240 For example: ulimit -n 10240
§ File-descriptor: at least 10240
❏ To discover the file-descriptor settings, run the command ulimit❏ Or set file-descriptor using the command
ulimit -n 10240
NOTE: This requires root or administrator
access.
Ø Use Version 3.4.3 with the GNU Compiler
Collection (GCC) C++ runtime
version 3.4.3 or higher
libraries installed before installing Oracle Business
Intelligence.
Ø The library name must be libstdc++.so.6.
• The package name can be queried using the
following command:
rpm -q libstdc++ -l
Ø The output must include libstdc++.so.6
Ø For Red Hat: Run X server locally on desktop
with the display from Linux
machine exported to that
desktop.
Ø For Red Hat: The version of Java at
/usr/lib/java must be removed or
renamed before installing
Oracle BI, in order for the charting server to be
installed successfully.
NOTE: This requires root or administrator
access.
Ø When downloading the Linux version of OBI,
the {OBI filename}.cpio
should be extracted to the
same level of the directory hierarchy where OBI will
be installed. For example, if you’re installing OBI into
the /opt/oracle/product
directory then the cpio
file should be extracted to the /opt/oracle/product
directory.
Ø To
extract the contents of the cpio file enter the following command:
cpio –idmcv < {OBI filename}.cpio
Ø Database connectivity software that Oracle BI
servers use to connect to the
database. For example, if the Oracle BI Server is to
access an Oracle
Database, install the
Oracle 10g client. If the Oracle BI
Server is to access MS
SQL Server database,
install Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC).
OBIEE INSTALLATION STEPS IN LINUX
To run the Oracle BI Installer under Linux:
Console Mode
1. Change directory to the installation directory.
2. To run the installer in console (or text) mode, use the
following command:
./setup.sh –console
NOTE: In console (or text) mode installation, you enter input as
plain text
in the terminal window when prompted. You do not see dialog
screens,
and therefore you do not need to set the DISPLAY variable.
5. Provide the requested input for each screen. Inputs are the same as the
Window installation inputs detailed at the beginning of this
Lesson.
Display (Graphics) Mode
1. Make sure that you have set the DISPLAY environment variable.
2. Change directory to the installation directory.
3. To run the installer in graphics mode, use the following
command:
./setup.sh
4. The InstallShield window appears and prompts you through each
screen.
NOTE: The particular screens or prompts that are visible are
dependent
on the installation type and the components you choose in the
Setup
Type screen. Inputs are the
same as the Window installation inputs
detailed at the beginning of this Lesson.
The repository (.rpd) file can be created and modified only using
the Oracle Business
Intelligence Administration Tool, which is available only for Windows
operating systems.
OBIEE POST INSTALLATION IN LINUX
The scripts below should be started in ascending sequence in order to ensure
OBIEE is properly started. When stopping OBI the scripts below should be
stopped in descending order.
Scripts are found under the {Install directory}/OracleBI/setup/ folder.
