Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE) 11g Installation

You can start your  OBIEE 11g installation after completing the prerequisites list.


In the unzipped install files go to Disk 1 and run the setup.exe file (for Windows). This launches the Oracle Universal Installer.
There are 12 steps in the installation process. And we’ll go through the most important ones in the following:


  1. Step 2 – choose installation type. For a test instance you can go on and choose the first option. 


  1. Step 3 – the installer verifies if your system meets the prerequisites to proceed. 


  1. Step 4 – you have to enter a location for the installation, but be careful and do not enter a location containing spaces. 


  1. Step5 – enter username and password. You will need these identification details to start and use OBIEE. 


  1. Step 6 – choose the desired components. 

  1. Step 7 – enter database details. Here you have the details corresponding to the database installed in the prerequisites section. And you also have to enter schema username and password used in the RCU installer for OBIEE schemas. 

  1. Step 9 – You may choose to save the details. 

  1. Step 10 – Installation and configuration steps take a little much longer, as these are the purpose of the installer.
  2. Have a little patience and once finished you can start using OBIEE 11g.
    You have bellow the access details for different applications:
    Oracle Business Intelligence
    http://host:9704/analytics
    WebLogic Console
    http://host:7001/console
    Enterprise Manager
    http://host:7001/em
    Oracle BI Publisher
    http://host:9704/xmlpserver
    Real-Time Decisions
    http://host:9704/ui
  3.  
  4. Start installation using setup.exe (Windows) or setup.sh (Linux)
  5. Next screen is for information only - OBIEE requires at least 2GB hard disk space and 200 MB temp disc space
  6.  In this screen you define location of OBIEE top level directory,
    ORACLE_BI_HOME and ORACLE_BI_DATA_HOME
    - You also select installation type
    i) Basic
    ii) Advance

Select components - In this screen you select components you wish to install with OBIEE server

 Next screen displays all components you are going to install

To Access Publisher (BI Publisher aka XML publisher )
http :// servername:9704/xmlpserver (Administrator/Administrator)

Essbase for Beginners: Data Block concepts Part A

An Essbase outline has a number of dimensions.  The number of dimensions can range in quantity and size, but each dimension is identified as a dense or sparse dimension.  As we understood the concept of Dense and Sparse in our last discussion, let’s begin with the cocept of data blocks now. To understand this, let’s carry forward our hierarchy of 5 dimensions in a test application in my previous post.. We have 3 dense and 2 sparse dimensions each with 3 stored members. So let’s begin: Number of Existing Blocks = (potential number of blocks) * estimated density= 9 Block Size = Dense Stored * Dense Stored * Dense Stored * 8 bytes = 3*3*3 *8 = 216 Potential number of blocks = Sparse Stored * Sparse Stored = 9 If all dimensions are assigned as Dense, Number of Existing Blocks = (potential number of blocks) * estimated density= 1 Block Size = Dense Stored * Dense Stored * Dense Stored * 8 bytes = 3*3*3*3*3 *8 = 1944 Potential number of bloc...

Shared Connection and Private Connection

You connect to data sources through shared or private connections. Shared Connections •Shared connections are stored in a central location and are available to multiple users through the Smart View Panel. You cannot add, edit, or rename shared connections, but you can save them as private connections, which you can edit and rename. Private Connections •Private connections are those that you create by saving a shared connection to your local computer or by entering a URL to a provider that is not configured for shared connections. When you create a private connection, it becomes the active connection. Shared Connections : 1. From the Smart View ribbon, click  Panel . 2. From Smart View Home or from the menu displayed when you click the arrow next to Home button, do one of the following: • Click a connection name under  Recently U sed . You can click    to pin items to this list. • Select  Shared Connections  to open th...

Essbase for Beginners: Data Block concepts Part B

Below concepts involve Data Blocks in some way or the other, so to understand how Data Blocks behave it’s good to understand these concepts: Let's Begin!! Compression Clean and Dirty Blocks Fragmentation Restructure Compression: When Essbase stores blocks to disk, it can compress the data blocks using one of the following compression methods, this is based on the type of data that is being loaded into the Essbase database. Essbase provides several options for data compression: 1. Bitmap compression : This is the default compression method. Essbase stores only non-missing values and uses a bitmapping scheme. A bitmap uses one bit for each cell in the data block, whether the cell value is missing or non-missing. When a data block is not compressed, Essbase uses 8 bytes to store every non-missing cell. 2. Run-length encoding (RLE): Essbase compresses repetitive, consecutive values --any value that repeats three or more times consecutively, including...
