OBIEE 11g installation and pre installation settings

Now I am back to the start where I have started my career as a BI Consultant. The first thing that I learnt and struggled with Google to understand each and every step which later was done hundreds of times. Its the installation of OBIEE 11g.

Lets get into the topic, we can break the whole installation part into four pieces.

Now lets see why we need all these and how they play their role in installation of OBIEE 11g. The major parts of OBIEE 11g installation are RCU and OBIEE itself.

Repository Creation Utility - This is a utility given by oracle to create necessary schemas for the OBIEE installation to use.

So in order to create the necessary schemas we need a Database, this is where it acts as a pre requisite before we go for RCU.

And the other important step is Configuring Microsoft Loop back Adapter which is standalone and can be done much before starting the database installation but it has to be done before OBIEE installation , the reason for this is because most of the VM we use are with DHCP(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Environment. Importantly you can skip this step if you're using a server with static IP address.
