Installation of OBIEE 12c on windows 7 Environment

Installation of OBIEE 12c on windows 7 Environment .

For trainings : training@edubodhi.co

The installation is of 4 steps:

1. JDK installation (if needed)
2. Weblogic Server installation
3. BI Installation 
4. Configuration

Download JDK 8, Weblogic server and 2 BI files from here. Unzip the files

After installing JDK.Do not  accept the default path of installing in "Program Files\Java" folder because as its a space in the name. Change the installed location to c:\Java.

Open Command Prompt as Administrator. Moved to the above folder (where the files are located) and run the Weblogic installation:
c:\Java\jdk1.8.0_65\bin\java.exe -jar fmw_12.2.1.0.0_infrastructure.jar
Accepted the defaults and pointed it to a new MWHOME I created (D:\MWHOME12, in my case).

Next run the BI installation in the same folder:
 setup_bi_platform-12.2.1.0.0_win64.exe
And selected the same MWHOME for BI installation (D:\MWHOME12, in my case).
Next screens:

Now can run the configuration part.
used the same Command Prompt Window, and run config.cmd from MWHOME\bi\bin

 left the default, including Essbase (note the RTD installation is gone).

passed the prerequests:

Dont change the location, but selected the domain user and password:

Allowed the wizard to created the RCU schema (note the options are: Oracle DB, Oracle RAC DB and MS SQL server). there is no standalone RCU anymore.

and updated the DB connection details (note, no need to add "as SYSDBA" for Oracle sys user)  :

Next left the defaults:

The options here are new and interesting:

 Saved the response file (PLEASE do it at some point, it's not fun to look for the ports and URLs later).

Now the process is running.

While the configuration passed well, the BI Startup at the bottom stayed for few very long minutes on 0%. Then jumped to 100% and finished. Made me check the log few times, during the period.

Now is the last screen. If you dont save the URLs before. Please do it now:

The OBIEE do not start on its own.

To stop and start the BI server I can run start.cmd and stop.cmd from MWHOME\user_projects\domains\bi\bitools\bin\ (D:\MWHOME12\user_projects\domains\bi\bitools\bin\start.cmd ).

After the installation my default ports are 9502 for BI and 9504 for EM.
For Administration Tool installation, the port 9516 is used in the ODBC settings.

One first discovery after the installation. Since OBIEE 12 is HTML, we can copy/paste data from analysis, in all browsers.
