Installing Oracle Business Intelligence 10.1.3.4.1

1) Hardware Requirements

2) Supported Server Operating Systems

Points to Note:
For Windows and Linux 64 bit environment, though the OS and processor are 64 bit but the OBIEE binaries(software) are still 32 bit. This implies that OBIEE would run in 32-bit emulation mode on 64 bit processors and hence you can expect little performance gain on 64 bit environment.
Further, Itanium2 processor is not supported.

3) Minimum Patch Levels needed on the Operating Systems


4) Certified Web Servers and Application Servers

5) Certified Identity Management Applications

6) Example

7) Install Sun Java Development Kit on your host system.
The minimum version of JDK required is JDK 1.5. You can download JDK from
java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp. Please do not confuse JRE with JDK. Both are entirely different.

8) Download OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1 for your environment from OTN website.

Rest of the installation is demonstrated for windows environment. For Linux environment, the installation process is similar as well.
9) Unzip the downloaded file and go to \biee_windows_x86_101341\Windows\Server\Oracle_Business_Intelligence.

14) Select what services you want to start automatically. Simply leave the default values and click next if you are not very sure about what to do in this window.

15) Chose the language in which you would want to see the errors. You would most likely want to see the error messages in your localization language. For example, if you working on Japanese windows, then you make want to see errors in japanese language.
