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 andRCU setup completed.
Step 1: Download OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.3.0) version from
below link of OTN .
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
