OBIEE 11.1.1.7.
0 Step by Step Installation
This post will guide us through the step by step installation of OBIEE 11.1.1.7.0. Here I don't find any
difference in RCU installation between in previous version with this version. Still if you want to know the
RCU installation steps click here
Step1:
Download the OBIEE 11g version from here or from oracle e-delivery site and extract all the four disk into
a single folder and click setup.exe from the Disk1
Universal Installer window will start and will check for the initial set up and system requirement.
After the successful precheck the first step of our OBIEE 11.1.1.7.0 starts with the below window. Just Click
'Next'
Step2:
If you have oracle Support username and password then update then use that in this step or just select
first option 'Skip Software updates' and click 'Next'
Step3:
Select the appropriate installation step here. I am going to install all the component of BI so selected here
'Enterprise Install' and then click 'Next'
Step4:
This step will just check operating system certification and physical memory. Just click 'Next' after the
check passed through
Step5:
As It is a new installation, select the option 'Create New BI System' and type password for weblogic User.
Note: Save or remember the password because this is the password going to be used to access BI system,
EM, Console and answers later on..
and then click 'Next'
Step6:
In this step we have to select the actual folder where we want to install BI 11g. So here I have created an
folder in C:\ driver and selected here by browsing the home location in this window. Remaining boxes will
be automatically filled once we selected the home location then click 'Next'
With the above window we will get warning like below screen. Just Click 'Yes and click 'Next' with the
above screen
Step7:
In this step we would know what are the components going to be installed. If you are really going to user
'RTD' and Essbase Suite the leave it selected or Just uncheck with the below screen and click 'Next'
Step8:
In this step we have to select the database where we have installed our RCU. I have done in oracle
database so selected the oracle database in database type
Connection String: dbservername:portnumber:servicename
BIPLATFORM Name: DEV_BIPLATFORM
BIPLATFORM Pwd: Admin123
Note: This username and password would be same which we have given when we installed RCU
Step9:
Same steps like the previous step but here with DEV_MDS username and password. After entering all the
details just click 'Next'
Step10:
Just Select 'Auto Port Configuration' if you want to install with the default port numbers that oracle do the
installation and then click 'Next'
Step11:
If we have oracle support email id we could mention with this step or just deselect the option click 'Yes'
with the warning screen and click 'Next' with the below step
Step12:
With this step just click 'Install' so that the actual installation will be started with the below screen:
Step13:
Just watch the installation progress with this step
It take a while even the progress bar shows 100%. Post installation script might be take some time so be
patient the steps will pass through.
Step14:
After successful installation the configuration steps will start. It takes a while to finish all the configuration
so wait to finish and then just click 'Next' when the configuration shows 100%
Step15:
So actual installation and configuration are over with the above step. If you want to save the path details
for middleware home, domain home and others click 'Save' with the below screen and save it in a file for
reference. and the just click 'Finish' to complete the installation.
Now browse through the answers, EM and console and Play with BI.
Happy Blogging!

Below screenshots will guide you through step by step installation of OBIEE 11 g Fusion Middleware product .Before start the
setup make sure Oracle 11g database installed and RCU setup completed.
Step 1: Download OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.3.0) version from below link of OTN .
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-enterprise-edition/downloads/business-intelligence11g-240521.html
Prerequisite has been installed as : Oracle 11g DB R2 and RCU 11.1.13.3 .
Now extract the download copy into two different folders ….
Merge the two folders content into single directory “..\bi_windows_x86_111130_32_disk1_1of2\bishiphome” .
Step 2: For DHCP computer having no permanent IP Address you need to configure Microsoft default Loopback address .Follow
the steps provided under section “Installing a Loopback Adapter on Windows 2003 or Windows XP” from Nicolas Loopback
Adapter Configuration .The glimpse of it as below:
Step 3: Execute the setup.exe .
Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) pre-requisite verification started .
Then the OFMW 11g Installer template initiated.
Step 4: Click Next on Welcome screen appeared below.
Step 5: Select the “Installation Type” as ‘Simple’ .This is most easiest and recommended for first try .All the parameters will be
set by default.
N.B:- Enterprise installation is mostly required in Scalable system having the configuration required across multiple Weblogic
domain or joining a existing domain to existing Weblogic Server .The “Software Only Install” requires the configuration done in
different phase after the enterprise wide installation is over .
Step 6: Pre-requisites check has been done .
Step 7: Specify the installation location .
Step 8: Enter the ‘Weblogic’ Admin credentials . In my case the password is : ‘weblogic#1’ (without quotes to meet Oracle
Password standard) .
Step 9: Configuring the components . In my case I select all .
Step 10: Specify the connection parameters ..
N.B:- Be aware of the joker type error message thrown here during my first installation as “INST-08029 Unable to connect to
Database with given credentials.” It seems to be an Oracle BUG .See the issue in screenshot .
The reason of this error is the BIPLATFORM schema password .In RCU utility if you provide the password same as Schema name
it would be creating trouble. Not sure whether it doesn’t accept the same password or it doesn’t accept the underscore(‘_’)
character .I have not investigate further on it :(
Anyway I get rid of it after dropping the RCU schema for BI and recreate the same with password as ‘rcu’ .This password has
been provided here .
Step 11: Specify security update section .
Step 12: Finalise the installation .
The installation started …..
After installation done the configuration Process starts …
Step 13: The installation and configuration completed .Click Finish .
So finally OBIEE11g has been installed successfully with the below access details
for different application :
Type: Simple Install
