Oracle Analytics Server 5.9 - Silent Install

Oracle Analytics Server 5.9 is now out and is available via the software delivery site of Oracle. I just want to quickly take you through the installation steps using silent mode.

Before we proceed, there are some pre-requisites which needs to be met. 

• Database for hosting metadata schemas 
• RPM packages 
• Software Zip files
• OS user with required permissions
• JDK version

Let's get to it. I will outline high level steps here a more detailed steps were documented in my GitHub repo.

Step 1: Directories 

We need to host the Oracle Fusion Middleware and Oracle Analytics Server domain, Ideal way to this is in two different folders 

• OAS_HOME
• oracle_home - for FMW and OAS software 
• domain_home - for bi domain configuration

Step 2 : FMW installation

Below is the simple command to install the fusion middleware infrastructure using a response file. You can find the sample response files in the Git repository.

java -jar /u01/app/oas/softwares/fmw_12.2.1.4.0_infrastructure.jar -silent -responseFile /u01/app/oas/resposefiles/fmw.response

Step 3 : FMW Patch Installation

Move the patch zip file to [ORACLE_HOME]/OPatch and unzip it there. change into the newly created path folder for ex cd 30657796. To apply patch use the below command.

[ORACLE_HOME]\OPatch\opatch apply -silent

Step 4 : OAS Installation

Unzip the Oracle Analytics Server installer zip file (~3.5GB). Modify the oas.response file to the oracle_home path as per previous step.

java -jar /u01/app/oas/softwares/Oracle_Analytics_Server_Linux_5.9.0.jar -silent -responseFile /u01/app/oas/resposefiles/oas.response

Step 5 : Domain Configuration

Update the config.respose to include details of the domain_home, Database details (hostname,port, servicename and SYS details) and port information etc.

[ORACLE_HOME]/bi/bin/config.sh -silent -responseFile /u01/app/oas/resposefiles/config.response
