NSTALLING BI APPS 11.1.1.8.1: PART 1 – PRE-

REQUISITESy Paul Cannon (http://www.redstk.com/author/paulcannon/) on 22nd May 2014 24 comments

http://www.redstk.com/installing-bi-apps-11-1-1-8-1-part-1-pre-requisites/#comments)

his is the first of three blogs performing a basic out of the box installation of the newly released Oracle BI

pplications 11.1.1.8.1.

m performing a completely fresh installation on our Exalytics/Exadata servers using an E-Business Suite

2.1.3 database as the data source.

n part 1 below I’ll be going through the pre-requisites required before BI Apps can be installed, including

nstalling OBIEE, ODI and creating the warehouse and repositories using the RCU.

art 2 will cover installing and configuring BI Apps – http://blog.3sixty-analytics.com/?p=1300

http://blog.3sixty-analytics.com/?p=1300)

art 3 will demonstrate a simple example of load data into the warehouse and viewing it in OBIEE –

http://blog.3sixty-analytics.com/?p=1417 (http://blog.3sixty-analytics.com/?p=1417)

or the pre-requisites for BI Apps we’ll be performing the following steps:

1. Review System Requirements

2. Determine the Environment

3. Download BI Apps Install files from Oracle

4. Configure Oracle DB for warehouse & repositories

5. Install a JDK

6. Install Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition

7. Upgrade Weblogic server to 10.3.6

8. Install Oracle Data Integrator

9. Create schemas for Oracle BI Applications

REVIEW SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

efore beginning review the system requirements for BI Apps. This can be found at

ttp://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/fusion-certification-100350.html

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/fusion-certification-100350.html)

nd downloading the file for the release of BI Apps being installed, in this case 11.1.1.8.1:

ystem Requirements and Supported Platforms for Oracle Business Intelligence Applications Release

1.1.1.8.1 ( xls (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi/biapps-11-1-1-8-1-2199792.xlsx) )

his is a spreadsheet with six tabs covering required versions for the OS, additional software etc. The

upport source applications tab is required later on during the install as this lists the projects included

within BI Apps.

http://blog.3sixty-analytics.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/biapps1_01.png)

ote: it doesn’t mention it in the spreadsheet but we found out the hard way that the database which will

old the data warehouse needs to have the spatial component installed. To see if it is run the following

ommand in sqlplus:

http://blog.3sixty-analytics.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/biapps1_01.pnghttp://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi/biapps-11-1-1-8-1-2199792.xlsxhttp://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/fusion-certification-100350.html


3/82

elect comp_id, version, status, comp_name from dba_registry where comp_id=’SDO';

spatial is installed you will get one record returned:

COMP_ID VERSION STATUS COMP_NAME

------------- ------------- --------------- ---------------

SDO 11.2.0.3.0 VALID Spatial

spatial isn’t installed then install it before continuing.

DETERMINE THE ENVIRONMENT

My Environment has four servers:

1. E-Business Suite 12.1.3 database server (with VISION demo data)

2. Database server (for the DW warehouse) with Oracle 12c pre-installed. This is our Exadata server3. Repository Database Server. A small 12c database just used for repositories and sample data

4. BI Apps Server. This is our Exalytics server.

ll four are linux x86-64 and I have all the userids/passwords/access I need on all of them.

DOWNLOAD BI APPS INSTALL FILES FROM ORACLE

he following set of files needs to be downloaded before starting. Most come from the BI Apps media

ack on edelivery, but there are a couple patch files which are downloaded from the oracle support

website.

5/82

p13529623_1036_Generic.zip (This is the patch for Weblogic 10.3.6)

NSTALL ORACLE CLIENT ON THE BI APPS SERVER

t various points during the installation we’ll need to connect to the data warehouse on the database

erver, so although not compulsory, it’s easier if we have a basic Oracle client installed on the BI Appserver before we begin.

nzip the “Oracle Database 12c Release 1 Client (12.1.0.1.0) for Linux x86-64” zip file and run the

unInstaller command from the client directory. I chose a custom install with just SQL*Plus, Oracle

atabase Utilities and the Oracle Call Interface and placed it in a home directory by itself.

CONFIGURE ORACLE DB FOR WAREHOUSE & REPOSITORIES

Once BI Apps is fully installed there will be a lot of tra!c between the data warehouse and BI Apps servers

s the users run reports. To maximize the throughput of data the SDU and TDU parameters should be

ncreased from the default 2KB setting.

n the listener.ora on the database server I added (SDU=16384)(TDU=16384):

(SID_DESC= (SDU=16384)(TDU=16384)

(GLOBAL_DBNAME=dbserver.local.com)

(ORACLE_HOME=C:appproduct12.1.0ora12c)

(SID_NAME=ora12c))

hen added the same parameters to the tnsnames.ora on the BI Apps server:

dbserver =

(DESCRIPTION = (SDU=16384)(TDU=16384)

(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = dbserver.local.com)(PORT = 1521))

(CONNECT_DATA =

(SERVER = DEDICATED)

(SERVICE_NAME = ora12c.local.com)

)

)

Check the guidelines for Oracle Database in the BI Apps install doc (sections 2.1 & 2.2) for more details on

his and other aspects to consider.


6/82

nstall a JDK

I apps required a JDK and the install guide tells you to download and install JDK 1.6.0_35 or better.

owever it’s not strictly needed as OBIEE installs its own JDK and this is 1.6.0_35, so we can use that for

ll the BI Apps components.

nstall Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition

he starting point for a BI Apps installation is OBIEE 11g. BI Apps now integrates itself with an existing

OBIEE installation and is controlled by the same Enterprise Manager instance.

here are a number of ways of installing OBIEE and what BI Apps requires is a minimum of version

1.1.1.7.131017 running under Weblogic server 10.3.6.

n out of the box installation of OBIEE gives you version 11.1.1.7.0. You do not have to upgrade to

1.1.1.7.131017 as the patch section of the BI Apps install later on will do this for you.

OBIEE also comes with version 10.3.5 of Weblogic Server, so this need to be upgraded to 10.3.6 and we’ll

o this in the next step.

efore beginning the OBIEE installation we need to create the repositories. Unzip the following file to a

emporary directory (do not confuse this file with the BI Apps RCU zip file)

Oracle Fusion Middleware Repository Creation Utility 11g (11.1.1.7.0) for Li

nux x86-64.zip

rom this directory change to the rcubin directory and run :

./rcu


7/82

Click past the welcome screen:


http://blog.3sixty-analytics.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/biapps1_02.png


8/82

Choose ‘Create’




9/82

nter the connection details for the database which will house the repositories:




10/82

fter performing pre-requisite checks enter a prefix (I used BIAPPS) and select ‘Oracle Business

ntelligence’ -> ‘Business Intelligence Platform’:


nter a password for the two schemas:



11/82




12/82

he tablespaces are small, so the default settings can be left in place:


he tablespaces will then be created. You’ll then get the summary screen confirming the repository

omponents which are about to be installed:



13/82


he repositories will then be created:



14/82


Close the RCU.

ow OBIEE can be installed. To start the OBIEE installation unzip all five of the OBIEE zip files to a

emporary directory:


of 3) (Part 1 of 2)


of 3) (Part 2 of 2)


of 3) (Part 1 of 2)


of 3) (Part 2 of 2)


of 3)

hen from the bishipship/Disk1 subdirectory run:



15/82

./runInstaller

kip past the welcome screen:


elect ‘Skip software updates’. OBIEE will be patched up to the correct version later on in the BI Apps

nstallation.



16/82


lso you must not perform a Simple installation of OBIEE – this will not work with BI Applications. You

must perform an Enterprise installation or a software-only followed by a domain configuration. I’ve chosen

he Enterprise installation so that OBIEE is configured straight away.



17/82


et the prerequisite checks run. If you get any issues then deal with these before continuing.



18/82


nter a user-name and password for the BI system admin account. Do not scale out the BI System:



19/82


pecify a directory for the Middleware home. The other fields will auto-fill with default values beneath this

which I’ve left as is:



20/82


he BI Apps install guide specifically states that the OBIEE install must include Real-Time decisions and

ssbase Suite. Not 100% sure this entirely necessary – I suspect it depends on whether your installing

modules which use these – not all do. I have included them anyway:



21/82


ou now need to tell the installer where the BIPLATFORM repository is located – enter the details

ncluding the prefix on the schema name) created with the RCU above:



22/82


his is then followed by the details of the MDS repository schema – this will probably default to the correct

ettings:



23/82


ve chosen to leave the ports at the default values (7001 for Weblogic, 9704 for OBIEE) using the Auto-

ort configuration:



24/82


do not want Oracle emailing me about updates (I get enough of those already…):



25/82


Check the installation summary that all is correct. I usually use the ‘save’ button to keep a record of how I

nstalled it:



26/82


et the installation progress…



27/82


ollowed by the configuration…



28/82


On the completion screen take a note of the installation details, especially the URLs – use the save button

o save these to a text file. Then close the installer.



29/82


Quickly check that OBIEE has installed correctly – a browser will launch on closing the installer – login

with the admin user-id (weblogic) created above:



30/82


Weblogic and OBIEE will need to be stopped and restarted a number of times during the BI Apps

nstallation, so now is a good time to setup a script to do this. Below is the standard script I use.

Create a file called biapps.sh in a suitable directory (e.g. your user home directory), edit it and paste in the

ontents below, altering the top lines with the details of your installation, then make the file runnable

chmod 777 biapps.sh). The script uses a /log directory to keep its logs in.

o stop Weblogic (and OBIEE) run: ./biapps.sh stop

o start Weblogic (and OBIEE) run: ./biapps.sh start

UPGRADE WEBLOGIC SERVER TO 10.3.6

I Apps required Weblogic server version 10.3.6.

OBIEE was installed using the enterprise option as above then version of Weblogic server will be 10.3.5,

o it needs to be upgraded. If you performed a “software only” install into an existing Weblogic server

nstallation you need to check the version of Weblogic: open the console, click on Servers, click on

dminServer then look in the Monitoring tab and the Weblogic Version line.

he version in this screen shot needs upgrading to 10.3.6.


35/82


o upgrade weblogic download the upgrade patch file from oracle support:

atch number 13529623, file = p13529623_1036_Generic.zip

efore upgrading weblogic, shutdown OBIEE and the weblogic processes. Make sure to include stopping

he node manager (the script above does this)

he upgrade patch is a single jar file, called with the java command (using the JDK installed in the OBIEE

ome):

/Oracle_BI1/jdk/bin/java -jar wls1036_upgrade_generic.jar

(http://blog.3sixty-

nalytics.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/biapps1_27.png)

his launches the install wizard:

http://blog.3sixty-analytics.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/biapps1_27.pnghttp://blog.3sixty-analytics.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/biapps1_26.png


36/82


elect the existing Middleware home where OBIEE is installed:



37/82


he Register for Security updates screen is a little flakey…you can’t uncheck the ‘I wish to receive…’

heck box



38/82

http://blog.3sixty-analytics.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/biapps1_30.png) So if you don’t want these

mails you need to ignore the dire warning messages that appear upon clicking Next then on the next

creen check the ‘I wish to remain uninformed’ check box and click continue and confirm in the warning

ox that appears.



n the ‘Choose Products and Components’ screen leave the default selections in place:



39/82


Confirm the Installation is correct:



40/82


Wait whilst the upgrade takes place:



41/82


hen you should get the installation complete screen. Uncheck the ‘Run Quickstart’ option before closing

this just starts a new app for controlling Weblogic which we don’t need.



42/82


ow restart Weblogic & OBIEE using your start script. A quick check in the console proves the upgrade

ad indeed succeeded:


NSTALL ORACLE DATA INTEGRATOR

he next step is to install Oracle Data Integrator. This needs to be embedded in the same Weblogic server

s OBIEE AND in the same Middleware home are OBIEE so that BI Apps can access it directly. You must

ot install ODI anywhere else or BI Apps will not be able to use it.



43/82

ou must also use the version of ODI from the same download media pack from edelivery – 11.1.1.7.0. You

annot use earlier or later versions. The version does get patched up during the patching process later on,

ut not up to ODI 12c.

rom the BI Apps media pack unzip the following two files into a temporary directory:



hen from the Disk1 directory run:

./runInstaller -jreLoc /Oracle_BI1/jdk

.g. ./runInstaller –jreLoc /u01/app/biapps/Oracle_BI1/jdk

f you leave o" the –jreLoc parameter it will prompt you to enter it upon running)

On the welcome screen ignore the message about creating an ODI repository. This will be performed later

when installing BI Apps.


44/82


We do not want software updates for this installation.



45/82


elect ODI SDK along with ODI Studio and all of the Java EE Installation options.



46/82


Confirm the prerequisite checks pass ok:



47/82


ou must choose the Middleware home where OBIEE is installed.



48/82


his screen is a little pointless, you can only choose Weblogic Server:



49/82


Choose ‘Skip Repository Configuration’. The repository will be configured when BI Apps is installed later

n.



50/82


Confirm the installation details:



51/82


Wait for the install to run through:



52/82


he Configuration is automatic and quick:



53/82


nd finally the installation is complete:



54/82


t this point we don’t want to do anything with ODI – the software is installed and ready to be configured

or BI Apps later on.

CREATE SCHEMAS FOR ORACLE BI APPLICATIONS

I Apps requires three database schemas to be created:

1. The Data Warehouse schema

2. The BI Applications Repository

3. The BI Apps specific ODI Repository

hese are created using the BI Apps version of the RCU. From the media pack downloaded earlier unzip

he following file into a temporary folder:

Oracle Business Intelligence Applications RCU (11.1.1.8.1) for Linux x86 (64bit).zip

n order to build the data schemas the RCU needs to import some export .dmp files. These are located

nder the directory rcuintegrationbiappsschema in the temporary file you unzipped the above file into.



55/82

the databases are installed on a di"erent server to where you are running the RCU (which they are in my

ase) these .dmp files need to be copied (ftp’d) to the database server into a directory with global write

ccess (so that log files can be written to). Take a note of the directory you copy them to; you will be aksed

or this during the repository creation.

his is further complicated by the fact that I am installing the data warehouse on one server, but the

epositories on another. Where you install these is up to you, I have chosen to keep them separate.

here are three .dmp files:

obia_comp.dmp BI Apps repository

obia.dmp Data warehouse

obia_odi.dmp ODI Repository


o in my case I need to FTP obia.dmp to my data warehouse server and obia_comp.dmp & obia_odi.dmpo my repository server.

his also means that I need to run the Repository Creation Utility twice – once each for both servers.

rom the rcu/bin directory run ./rcu

Click past the welcome screen:



56/82


elect ‘Create’ and continue.



57/82


ow we need to enter the database connection details. In this first run of the RCU I’m just going to setup

he data warehouse schema, so I need to enter the details of the data warehouse server:



58/82


et it check the prerequisites of the database, then it will ask which components to install. Expand ‘Oracle

usiness Intelligence Applications’ and just select ‘Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse’.

fter entering a prefix, BIAPPS in this case, we can see the schema it will create: BIAPPS_DW:



59/82


ow enter the password for this schema:



60/82


ou must now enter the name of the directory where the .dmp file (obia.dmp in this case) was copied to on

he database server. You do not need to specify the file name:



61/82


ow you need to manage the tablespaces for the data warehouse. There are some changes that need to

e made here.

Click on “Manage Tablespaces”



62/82


We need to make adjustments to the four new tablespaces about to be created:

BIAPPS_DW_DATA

BIAPPS_DW_IDX

BIAPPS_DW_STG

BIAPPS_DW_TMP

he changes we are about to make are for guidance only, depending on the size you expect your

warehouse to become you may enter di"erent values. Don’t forget of course that once the tablespaces

ave been created they can be amended directly within the database by a DBA.

o start by clicking on the DW_DATA tablespace (BIAPPS_DW_DATA in this case). When its details appear

lick on the file name field (+DATA_DM01 in this case – yours will be di"erent depending on how the

atabase has been configured) and click on the edit (pencil) icon



63/82


n the Edit Datafile window change the size to 20GB, ensure autoextend is selected and set the maximum

ze to Unlimited. Then click ok.



64/82



ow click on the DW_IDX tablespace and edit it’s datafile. Leave the size at 5GB, but ensure autoextend is

n and set the maximum size to unlimited:



hen edit DW_STG. Change the size to 10 GB, ensure Autoextend is on and set the maximum size to

Paul Cannon - 21st August 2014

Hi Romesh – how you doing? it’s been a while…

Don’t know why the schema failed to create, but you’ll need to remove the entry from

schema_registry_version before you can try to re-run the RCU and try again

Pete - 7th December 2014

There are a few typos in the startup script biapps.sh above. The first few lines should look like:

# Start and stop Oracle Business Intelligence 11g components.

# Local Unix user running OBIEE

ORACLE_OWNR=oracle# Deployment Middleware directory

ORACLE_FMW=/u01/app/oracle/middleware

Look for echo commands that have missing ” at the end of the line. (Lines 68 & 80)



J.A. - 10th March 2015

I concur. Spotted same points to update otherwise the script will fail.

I have installed Sample App v506 and corresponding VM machine , but when I start up the OBIEE

services using the given scripts …it errors out and says OBIEE web page is not accessible …any idea

why is that happening

With new website, I am not able to see pictures. Can you please enable them back – this is very nice

blog that I have used earlier.



san - 5th August 2015

No worries, it looks like the issue is on my IE. Chrome worked fine. Thanks for this install information –

very good information, very detailed install.

Very Good blog to setup BIEE, BIAPPS and ODI using EBS as Data Source.

But the images are not visible. Seems images source location is missing them.



JP - 21st October 2015

Great material. I really like your biapps.sh script. I have a couple of questions.

1. Why are you removing the boot.properties file and regenerating it?

2. Is it possible to run this script without the password or at least not in plain text? I can not have a

password in a file.

(http://www.redstk.com/author/paulcannon/)



Paul Cannon - 22nd October 2015

JP,

it’s not actually necessary to regenerate the boot.properties file once it’s created the first time, I just

included it in the script for completeness – so the script will work if the boot.properties file does not

exist, you can remove this from the script.

Paul.
