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.
