In mine case I had Windows 2003 x86 SP2 (source server) with OBIEE 10.3.4.1 installation in standard locations:
- c:\OracleBI
- c:\OracleBIData
I will assume that Linux is installed with non required but nice tools:
vnceserver

rlwrap
as root: yum install readline-devel Download the latest version of GNU readline from http://cnswww.cns.cwru.edu/php/chet/readline/rltop.html At the time of writing, this is readline-6.0.tar.gz Unpack the gzipped tar file under /tmp cd /tmp tar -zxvf readline-6.0.tar.gz Change to the directory this creates and run configure: cd readline-6.0 ./configure If you do not have write access to the /usr/local/ hierarchy, then you can install the files somewhere else: ./configure --prefix=/home/my-user-name/packages Now build the readline library make and install (become superuser first if installing under /usr/local) make install --------------------------------- install rlwrap: gunzip rlwrap*.gz tar -xvf rlwrap*.tar cd rlwrap* ./configure make make check make install -----------------------------------The process will be done in next steps:
- Source server backup data
- Setup install environment on target server
- Install JAVA on target server
- Install OBI EE on target server
- Install Oracle client
- Install OBI EE client side on Windows host
- Fix some bugs in new OBI EE installation
- Setup BI Publisher
- Apply backup files/settings to target server
- Add additional fonts
- Create OBI start/stop script (boot start) on target server
Source server backup data
On source server, of next two source directories:- make zip files of catalog directory (in mine case "c:\OracleBIData\web\catalog\samplesales")
- backup repository file (in mine case c:\OracleBI\server\Repository\AZM.rpd)
- C:\OracleBI\xmlp\XMLP\Users
Beside that, according Oracle documentation chapter "Backing Up Business Intelligence Folders and Files", recommended backup of some other files. If you have some other custom changes (some terms change to something els i.e. "SUM" to "Total sum" or some translations to local language) find those files to edit them on target server as well.
Setup install environment on target server
In mince case I'll install OBIEE under oracle user which belongs to dba group.groupadd -G dba:501 useradd -g dba oracle passwd oracleAfter creation, login once as oracle to create env files. Then append then to the ".bash_profile" of the oracle user important stuff. here is an example Add entries in .bash_profile (for Oracle 10g and OBIEE 10g) so complete profile for oracle user looks like:
# .bash_profile
#
# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
# rlwrap
#---------------------------
alias sql='rlwrap sqlplus'
alias rlrman='rlwrap rman'

if [ $USER = "oracle" ]; then
if [ $SHELL = "/bin/ksh" ]; then

Install JAVA on target server
In this case I have decided to install latest java SE 7u2 version. However SE 6 is far enough,- Download jdk-7-linux-i586.rpm from page
- cd [download directory]
- rpm -ivh jdk-7-linux-i586.rpm
- cd /etc/alternatives/java
- alternatives --config java
- alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_02 3
- alternatives --config java
[root@app-srv ~]# alternatives --config java There are 3 programs which provide 'java'. Selection Command ----------------------------------------------- 1 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.4.2-gcj/bin/java * 2 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-sun/bin/java + 3 /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_02/bin/java Enter to keep the current selection[+], or type selection number: 3 [root@app-srv ~]# java -version java version "1.7.0_02" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_02-b13) Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 22.0-b10, mixed mode) [root@app-srv ~]#

Make sure that /dev/random and /dev/urandom are available
[root@oel11g ~]# cd /dev [root@oel11g dev]# ls *random random urandomas root
chmod -R 777 $JAVA_HOMEas oracle
change directory to the installation directory.
./setup.sh -consoleas root
chmod -R 755 $JAVA_HOMEChange mem preferences:
vi $OBI_HOME/oc4j_bi/bin/oc4jand change -Xmx512m to something more "serious". In mine case 756M was quite enough.
JVMARGS="-Djava.library.path=/usr/local/OracleBI/server/Bin:/usr/local/OracleBI/web/bin -DSAROOTDIR=/usr/local/OracleBI -DSADATADIR=/usr/local/OracleBIData -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -Xmx512m $OC4J_JVM_ARGS" else JVMARGS="-Djava.library.path=/usr/local/OracleBI/server/Bin:/usr/local/OracleBI/web/bin -DSAROOTDIR=/usr/local/OracleBI -DSADATADIR=/usr/local/OracleBIData -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -Xmx756m"
Install Oracle client
OBIEE must have 10g client installed. In this case Administrator type of installation is the best option.as oracle
install oracle client (full)
./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqsBounce OBI services. This how correct services should look like (this doesn't mean that OBI is running correctly):
[oracle@app-srv ~]$ ps -ef|grep [j]ava oracle 29400 29398 0 21:30 pts/1 00:00:12 /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_02/bin/java -Djava.library.path=/oracle/product/obi10g/OracleBI/server/Bin:/oracle/product/obi10g/OracleBI/web/bin -DSAROOTDIR=/oracle/product/obi10g/OracleBI -DSADATADIR=/oracle/product/obi10g/OracleBIData -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -Xmx1024m -jar /oracle/product/obi10g/OracleBI/oc4j_bi/j2ee/home/oc4j.jar -config /oracle/product/obi10g/OracleBI/oc4j_bi/j2ee/home/config/server.xml -userThreads oracle 29590 1 0 21:32 pts/1 00:00:02 /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_02/bin/java -classpath /oracle/product/obi10g/OracleBI/web/javahost/lib/core/sautils.jar:/oracle/product/obi10g/OracleBI/web/javahost/lib/core/sawconnect.jar:/oracle/product/obi10g/OracleBI/web/javahost/lib/core/javahost.jar:/oracle/product/obi10g/OracleBI/web/javahost/lib/core/xalan-2.4.1.jar:/oracle/product/obi10g/OracleBI/web/javahost/lib/core/xercesImpl-2.6.2.jar:/oracle/product/obi10g/OracleBI/web/javahost/lib/core/xml-apis-2.6.2.jar -Xms128M -Xmx256M -Djava.awt.headless=true -Djava.util.logging.config.file=/oracle/product/obi10g/OracleBI/web/javahost/config/logconfig.txt -Doracle.bi.presentation.coreconfigdir=/oracle/product/obi10g/OracleBI/web/config -Doracle.bi.presentation.dataconfigdir=/oracle/product/obi10g/OracleBIData/web/config -Doracle.bi.rootdir=/oracle/product/obi10g/OracleBI -Doracle.bi.presentation.rootdir=/oracle/product/obi10g/OracleBI/web -Doracle.bi.tempdir=/oracle/product/obi10g/OracleBIData/tmp -Doracle.bi.javahostdir=/oracle/product/obi10g/OracleBI/web/javahost -Doracle.bi.presentation.cordaroot=/oracle/product/obi10g/OracleBI/corda50 com.siebel.analytics.javahost.standalone.Main /Config /oracle/product/obi10g/OracleBI/web/javahost/config/config.xml [oracle@app-srv ~]$
Install OBI EE client side on Windows host
Because in OBIEE 10g there is no Admin Tool GUI part, this has to be installed on any Windows box. If you are upgrading, open .rpd (AZM.rpd) file with new Admin Tool and just save it under same name. Open and save is the only thing you need to do!Transfer new rpd to $OBI_HOME/server/Repository directory on target server.
Fix some bugs in new OBI EE installation
There are several known bugs which must be fixed before continue installation. If you try to login to Answers through browser:http://app-srv:9704/analytics/saw.dll?Answers
You'll get message "Unable to login"
This is because if you look in NQServer.log you'll find a cause:
tail /oracle/product/obi10g/OracleBI/server/Log/NQServer.log [nQSError: 47007] Invalid repository file: /oracle/product/obi10g/OracleBI/server/Repository/samplesales.rpd.On Linux there is no preinstalled repository file (.rpd) (on Windows there is!).

[oracle@app-srv ~]$Next is to make some changes in $OBI_HOME/server/Config/NQSConfig.INI. Before that make a bakups of all files here for your safety.
vi $OBI_HOME/server/Config/NQSConfig.INI
[ REPOSITORY ] Star = samplesales.rpd, DEFAULT;
[ REPOSITORY ] Star = AZM.rpd, DEFAULT;I reccomend to make some aditional changes in this file as well (if you are using racle OCI connection, file cache is uselles and slower then Oracle DB cache):
[ CACHE ] # Vadas 01.07.2011 ENABLE = YES; ENABLE = NO; # Vadas 01.07.2011 DATA_STORAGE_PATHS = "/usr/local/OracleBIData/cache" 500 MB; DATA_STORAGE_PATHS = "/usr/local/OracleBIData/cache" 1 MB; # Vadas 01.07.2011 MAX_ROWS_PER_CACHE_ENTRY = 100000; // 0 is unlimited size MAX_ROWS_PER_CACHE_ENTRY = 1; // 0 is unlimited size # Vadas 01.07.2011 MAX_CACHE_ENTRIES = 1000 MAX_CACHE_ENTRIES = 1;And one that is for mine country:
[ GENERAL ] # Vadas SORT_ORDER_LOCALE = "English-usa"; SORT_ORDER_LOCALE = "Croatian";Beside all, probably another error is shown in:
[oracle@app-srv Config]$ tail $OBI_DATA_HOME/web/log/sawserver.out.log
saw.subsystem.security.checkAuthenticationImpl
saw.threadPool
saw.threads
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLDriverConnectW).

---------------------------------------
[oracle@app-srv Config]$
and is connected to previously shown problem with missing rpd.Now it is time to unpack all files from initially backuped catalog directory. In mine case that was under samplesales directory:
cd $OBI_DATA_HOME/web/catalog/samplesales unzip samplesales.zip
bounce OBI services
If you setup all in .bashprofile (like in mine case) then you do not need edit $OBI_HOME/setup/user.sh file. Otherwise do so as stated there
If you login to Dashboard through WEB and get error like:
500 Internal Error: - servlet error: An exception occurred. The current application deployment descriptors do not allow for including it in this response. Please consult the application log for details.Then problem is with port, which is fixed as:
1. vi $OBI_HOME/oc4j_bi/j2ee/home/applications/analytics/analytics/WEB-INF/web.xml
2. Replace the port as 9703 instead of 9710
3. run next statements
run-sa.sh stop wait for 10 seconds run-saw.sh stop wait for 10 seconds run-sa.sh start run-saw.sh start.Now click on the application Dashboard. It will work fine.
If you have upgrade oc4j then do not forget to change password after first start.

Setup BI Publisher
When you start to setup BI publisher settings you might find next bugs (errors).Missing Admin tab in Publisher
On first use in Publisher WEB page you'll find that Admnin tab is missing.vi $OBI_HOME/xmlp/XMLP/Admin/Configuration/xmlp-server-config.xmlchange to

Under RTF Templates set 4 times "Arial" for each font
Bounce OBI services and test some Answers or ready made BI Publisher report.
