Installing and Configuring Oracle BI Applications

11.1.1.7.1
By Mark Rittman and Kevin McGinley
A step-by-step guide to installing, configuring, and loading an initial set of tables within Oracle BI
Applications 11.1.1.7.1, using data sourced from Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1.3

Oracle Business Intelligence Applications
Oracle E-Business Suite
With the 11.1.1.7.1 release of the Oracle BI Applications, you can now use Oracle Data Integrator 11g (ODI11g) as
the embedded data integration engine within the product. Along with the introduction of several new BI applications
and extensions to existing ones, the introduction of ODI11g has allowed Oracle to simplify the configuration process
for the BI Applications as well as leveraging ODI's high-performance "ELT" (Extraction, Load and Transform) for data
loading.
In this article, Kevin McGinley and I will take you through the steps required to install, configure and then load an
initial set of tables within Oracle BI Applications 11.1.1.7.1, using data sourced from Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1.3
The objective of this article is to create a "minimum viable" Oracle BI Applications 11.1.1.7.1 environment on your
laptop or workstation so that you can then explore the application, see how Oracle Data Integrator 11g along with
tools such as Oracle BI Applications Configuration Manager and the Load Plan Generator for ODI 11g differ from
previous releases of the BI Applications, and then use as a starting point for further data loads from other supported
application sources.
Understanding the Oracle BI Applications Architecture
Previous releases of the Oracle BI Applications used Informatica PowerCenter as the embedded data integration
engine, with individual data loading tasks being orchestrated into execution plans using another tool called the Data
Warehouse Administration Console (DAC). Oracle BI Applications 11.1.1.7.1 instead uses Oracle Data Integrator 11g
(11.1.1.7) to perform data loads, along with a number of Java-based applications that are deployed into managed
servers within the Oracle Business Intelligence WebLogic domain. Figure 1 below shows the Oracle BI Applications
logical product architecture, showing you how the usual WebLogic Server managed server deployed as part of an
Oracle Business Intelligence BI domain extended to include new Oracle BI Applications-related Java applications,
and a new managed server added that contains Oracle Data Integrator-related Java applications.

Figure 1: Oracle BI Applications 11.1.1.7.1 Logical Architecture


As we will see in a moment, Oracle BI Applications 11.1.1.7.1 is set of packaged data extraction and loading routines
designed to load a pre-built Oracle data warehouse, together with a set of dashboards, reports and other business
metadata objects designed to provide customers with a quick-to-deploy, best-practice BI environment for Oracle's
ERP and CRM applications. Whilst a full installation of Oracle Data Integrator is provided with Oracle BI Applications
11.1.1.7.1, its role is as an "embedded" data integration engine with administrators mainly interacting with it using
web-based administration and configuration tools, as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2: Oracle Data Integrator Studio and Oracle BI Applications Configuration Manager
Developers can though, as in previous releases, customize and extend these packaged data integration routines,
bringing in additional data from existing sources or from new ones.
Installing and Configuring Oracle BI Applications 11.1.1.7.1
In this example, we will install Oracle BI Applications 11.1.1.7.1 into a fresh Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 environment
that has access to an Oracle 11gR2 (11.2.0.3+) database to hold the various repository schemas and the BI
Applications data warehouse. Whilst most installations of Oracle BI Applications would be in a multi-tier Linux and
Windows-based environment, this "minimal" setup will give you a "sandbox" environment to explore this new release,
with our recommendation being that you use virtualization software such as Oracle Virtualbox or VMWare
Workstation/Fusion to create a "clean-state" environment to perform the installation in.
Installation Prerequisites
For full details of the platform and software pre-requisites for Oracle Business Intelligence Applications 11.1.1.7.1,
see the System Requirements and Supported Platforms for Oracle Business Intelligence Applications
Release 11.1.1.7.x document on OTN, currently located at
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/fusion-certification-100350.html .
For the purposes of this article, which will take you through an install of Oracle Business Intelligence Applications
11.1.1.7.1 on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit, you will need access the following infrastructure
components:

A Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit environment, with minimum 8GB RAM and 300GB of disk storage. Note
that the examples in this article assume that you have given this environment the host name
obia111171w64, so if you can change the hostname to this, it will make the examples easier for you to
follow.

Oracle Database 11.2.0.1+ with a database configured with the following settings:
System Class : Server Class
Grid Installation Options : Single instance database installation
Select Install Type : Advanced Install
Select Database Edition : Enterprise Edition
Select Configuration Type : Data Warehousing
Specify Configuration Options : Character Sets > Use Unicode (AL32UTF8)
Specify Configuration Options : Security > uncheck Assert all new security settings
Specify Schema Passwords : Use the same password for all accounts ("welcome1")

Note that in this initial, 11.1.1.7.1 release of Oracle BI Applications with Oracle Data Integrator 11g support, only
source systems running on Oracle Database are supported, and Oracle Fusion Applications are not yet supported as
a source. In addition, only Oracle Database is supported as a target, with these restrictions likely to be lifted in a
future release.
Configure the Windows environment to use the Microsoft Loopback adapter, and edit the "hosts" file to resolve the
machine name to the loopback adapter's IP address by following these steps - note that utilities such as Device
Manager can be launched by typing the utility name into the Search programs and files search box in the Windows
Start menu.
1.

Add the loopback adapter to the machine by launching Device Manager, and then when the Add Hardware
dialog comes up, press Next, Next, Next. Then at the Common hardware types list, selectNetwork
adapters. Then, at the Select Network Adapter page, select Microsoft as theManufacturer, and then
Microsoft Loopback Adapter as the Network Adapter. Press Next, Next and Finish.

2.

Then, using Network and Sharing Center click on the Local Area Connection 2 link to bring up theLocal
Area Connection 2 Status dialog. Press Properties, then double-click on the Internet Protocol Version 4
(TCP/IPv4), then enter the following details:
IP Address: 10.10.10.10
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Leave other values at default, then press OK, OK, Close; then close the dialog.

3.

Add an entry in the "hosts" file that resolves your machine name to the loopback adapter, by selecting Start,
then right-click on Notepad and select Run as Administrator
When notepad.exe opens, select File > Open > and using the file selector select
C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts and then enter the following details to the end of the file,
to resolve the host name mentioned earlier to the IP address for this new loopback adapter
10.10.10.10 obia111171w64
Then, select File > Save to save the updated version of the file,

4.

Finally, test that these new network settings work as expected by selecting Start > Command Prompt, then
typing ping [machine name], so that the output looks like this:

Also, part of the installation process will require you to upgrade Oracle WebLogic Server from version 10.3.5 to
10.3.6, and to do this you will need to download the upgrade installer for WebLogic Server 10.3.6 from My Oracle
Support, by loading download patch no. 13529623 and following article 1421307.1, to give you a file called
wls1036_upgrade_generic.jar.
Finally, you will also need to download the 7-zip archive utility to use during the patching process for Oracle Business
Intelligence applications, which you can download for free from http://7-zip.org/. Once you have downloaded all of
these installer and patch files, create a directory called c:\installers in your Windows environment and copy all of them
to this new directory, so that the contents it look similar to the directory listing below (note that file names and sizes
may change as Oracle release updated versions of the installers and patches).

Now that you have downloaded the software and patch files, we can start the actual installation process. In the
following steps, we're assuming that you are already familiar with the installation process for Oracle Business
Intelligence 11g, and the setup of the various repository schemas using Oracle Fusion Middleware Repository
Creation Utility 11g, and therefore we will only provide the key settings that you need to select when installing these
products. For those products that are likely to be new to you with Oracle Business Intelligence 11.1.1.7, we will
provide step-by-step instructions for their installation and configuration.
1.

Start by unzipping the Oracle Fusion Middleware Repository Creation Utility installer files from the Windows
Command Prompt, and starting the Repository Creation Utility (RCU) installer, like this:

2. unzip rcu ofm_rcu_win_11.1.1.7.0_64_disk1_1of1.zip


3. cd rcuhome\BIN
4. rcu.bat

Then choose the following options when running the RCU:


Create a new repository
Database Type: Oracle Database
Host Name: obia111171w64
Port: 1521
Service Name: orcl
Username: sys
Password: welcome1
Role: SYSDBA

Repository schema prefix: DEV_


At the Select Components screen, select Oracle Business Intelligence so that the Business
Intelligence Platform, and the Metadata Services options are pre-selected for you, as per Figure 3.

Figure 3: The Select Components Screen for Oracle Fusion Middleware Repository Creation Utility
Do not select Oracle Data Integrator as a second Oracle BI Applications 11.1.1.7.1-specific Repository Creation
Utility will do that for you later on.
When prompted at the end of the process, select Use same passwords for all schemas and use "welcome1"
as the password.
2.

Next, unzip the Oracle Business Intelligence 11g 11.1.1.7 installer files and start the installer, like this:

3. unzip bi_windows_x86*
4. cd bishiphome\Disk1
5. setup

Then, install Oracle Business Intelligence using the following main options, leaving other installation choices
at their default value:
Installation Type: Enterprise Install, Create New BI System
Administrative username/password: weblogic/welcome1
Middleware Home: c:\middleware
Choose all products for installation, including Essbase
6.

Now you should install Oracle Data Integrator 11g, making sure that you do not choose the option to
configure repositories, as a later stage in the configuration process will do this for you.

7. unzip ofm_odi*
8. cd Disk1
9. setup.exe -jreLoc c:\Middleware\Oracle_BI1\jdk

On the Select Installation Type page, tick the Developer Installation checkbox and its options, and the
Java EE installation checkbox and its options. Then, at the Specify Installation Location screen, select
the same middleware home that you used for Oracle Business Intelligence (for example, c:\middleware).
Finally, as mentioned previously, at the Repository Configuration page select Skip Repository
Configuration.
10. The next step in this installation process is to use an additional, special version of the Repository Creation
Utility to create the additional repository and other schemas used by Oracle BI Applications 11.1.1.7.1.
Start by unzipping and then running the Oracle BI Applications Repository Creation Utility installer, like this:

cd c:\installers
unzip -d biappsrcu Bus_Analytics_Apps_Suite_RCU_Win64.zip
cd biappsrcu\bin
rcu.bat

Then, select the option to create new repositories, and use the following details on the relevant dialog
pages:
Database Type: Oracle Database
Host Name: obia111171w64
Port: 1521
Service name: orcl
Username: sys
Password: welcome1
Role: SYSDBA
At the Select Components page as shown in Figure 4, check the Oracle Business Intelligence Applications
checkbox and its options, and use the following (default) repository schema names:
Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse : DEV_DW
Oracle Business Intelligence Applications Components : DEV_BIACOMP
Oracle Data Integration Master and Work Repositories : DEV_BIA_ODIREPO

Figure 4: The Select Components Screen for Oracle Business Intelligence Applications Repository Creation
Utility
When prompted to set passwords for these schemas, use the option to use the same password for all schemas,
setting it to "welcome1".
At the Custom Variables page shown in Figure 5 below, enter the same value below for the three database
export file locations:
C:\installers\biappsrcu\rcu\integration\biapps\schema

Figure 5: Providing the Location of the Database Export Files


Once you have entered these details, creation of the relevant tablespaces and schemas along with importing of
the schemas' database objects, usually takes around fifteen minutes or so. Once complete, you are now ready to
install the Oracle Business Intelligence Applications software.
5.

To unzip the installer files for Oracle Business Intelligence Applications and then run the installer, run the
following from the Windows Command Prompt:
unzip Bus_Analytics_Apps_Suite_Installer_11.1.1.7.1.zip
cd biappsshiphome\Disk1
setup.exe -jreLoc c:\Middleware\Oracle_BI1\jdk
At the Specify Installation Location dialog, select the existing middleware home (c:\middleware), and
change the Oracle Home Directory value from the default Oracle_BI2 back to the existing one used by the
previous Oracle Business Intelligence install, Oracle_BI1. Once done, press Install to start the installation
process.

6.

The previous step installed the Oracle Business Intelligence Applications software, and now you need to
apply various patches to it and the other components you installed earlier on. Oracle have supplied a script
that uses the 7-zip archive utility you downloaded earlier on to apply the patches, and this script uses a

parameter file that allows you to specify where the patch files are located. Before you start the patching
process though, shut down all of your BI-related products by selecting Start > All Programs > Oracle
Business Intelligence > Stop BI Services, and use the Windows Services applet to stop the Node
Manager and Oracle Process Manager services, if they are running.
To prepare the parameter file for the patching utility, use a text editor such as WordPad or Notepad to edit
the c:\Middleware\Oracle_BI1\tools\bin\apply_patches_import.txt file, and edit the entries so that they read
as follows:

# Required - Java home


JAVA_HOME=C:\Middleware\Oracle_BI1\jdk
# Required - Inventory Location
INVENTORY_LOC=C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory
ORACLE_HOME=C:\Middleware\Oracle_BI1
MW_HOME=C:\Middleware
COMMON_ORACLE_HOME=C:\Middleware\oracle_common
WL_HOME=C:\Middleware\wlserver_10.3
ODI_HOME=C:\Middleware\Oracle_ODI1
# Required - An existing writable directory to create logs and temp
patch files
WORKDIR=C:\installers\patches\workdir
# Required - Path of patch directory till the release patch-set folder
which is inside patches4fa/dist.
# i;e the patch-set folder for a particular release to apply patch from
# eg; /scratch/aime/tmp/ps1/biappsshiphome/patches4fa/dist/ps6rc3
PATCH_ROOT_DIR=C:\installers\patches

Then, with the same text editor application, open the APPLY_PATCHES.pl file in the same directory and
modify the following lines within the download_patch routine, from the default:

$DOWNLOAD_EXE = "\"C:${DIRSEP}Program Files${DIRSEP}WinZip$


{DIRSEP}wzunzip.exe\" -ybc -d";
$cmd = "$DOWNLOAD_EXE $_[0] $PATCHES_HOME";

So that it now reads:

$DOWNLOAD_EXE = "\"C:${DIRSEP}Program Files${DIRSEP}7-Zip$


{DIRSEP}7z.exe\"";
$cmd = "$DOWNLOAD_EXE x $_[0] -o$PATCHES_HOME";

Then, from the Windows Command prompt type in the following to run the patch installer script:

cd c:\Middleware\Oracle_BI1\biapps\tools\bin
perl APPLY_PATCHES.pl apply_patches_import.txt

Once the script completes, check the resulting output which should look similar to this:

----------END OF PATCHING REPORT------------------

Note that no Weblogic patches will be applied in this step, as they only apply to WebLogic Server 10.3.6 (to
which you will upgrade later on in this process) and Oracle no longer require these patches to be applied.
7.

The penultimate step in the installation process is to use the Configuration Utility to extend the Oracle BI
Domain to include the new Oracle BI Applications Java components, and add an additional WebLogic
Server managed server for the Oracle Data Integrator Java components. Before you do this though, make
sure that the Node Manager and Oracle Process Manager services are started, and you have restarted your
Oracle Business Intelligence installation using Start > All Programs > Oracle Business Intelligence >
Start BI Services.
To start the Configuration Utility, type in the following commands at the Windows command prompt:

cd c:\Middleware\Oracle_BI1\bin
configApps.bat

When the Configuration Utility starts, at the Extend BI Domain page enter the following values:

Hostname: [pre-completed for you]


Port: 7001
User Name: weblogic
User Password: welcome1
At the Configure Components page, check the BI Application Components checkbox, and press Next,
as shown in Figure 6.

Figure 6: Selecting Oracle Business Intelligence Applications Products for Install


At the RPD Encryption Password page, enter Admin123 as the password. At the BI Applications
Administration User page, type in the following values, to create an administration user called "biadmin" that
you will use later on in the second-half of this article.
Username: biadmin
Password: welcome1
Confirm Password: welcome1
At the MDS Schema page, enter the following values

Database Type: Oracle


Connect String: obia111171w64:1521:orcl
MDS Schema Username: DEV_MDS
MDS Schema Password: welcome1
At the BI Applications Components Repository Schema page, enter the following values:
Database Type: Oracle
Connect String: obia111171w64:1521:orcl
BIA Components Repository Schema Schema Username: DEV_BIACOMP
BIA Components Repository Schema Schema Username: welcome1
At the Business Analytics Warehouse Schema page, enter these values:
Database Type: Oracle
Connect String: obia111171w64:1521:orcl
Business Analytics Warehouse Schema User: dev_dw
Business Analytics Warehouse Schema User: welcome1
At the BI Applications ODI Repository Schema page:
Database Type: Oracle
Connect String: obia111171w64:1521:orcl
ODI Repository Schema Username: DEV_BIA_ODIREPO
ODI Repository Schema Password: welcome1
Once values for these settings have been provided, the configuration process will start, as shown in Figure 7
below. Allow this process to complete and check that all steps have completed successfully before proceeding
further.

Figure 7: Reviewing the Progress of the Oracle Business Intelligence Applications Configuration Process
8.

As Oracle Business Intelligence 11.1.1.7 comes with version 10.3.5 of Oracle WebLogic Server, you will now
have to upgrade it to version 10.3.6 using the upgrade installer you obtained previously from My Oracle
Support.
Before you do this though, start by shutting-down WebLogic Server and the various Oracle Business
Intelligence system components by selecting Start > All Programs > Oracle Business Intelligence > Stop
BI Services from the Windows Start menu, entering the WebLogic administration username and password
you specified earlier (weblogic/welcome1) when requested. Then, using the Windows Services utility, stop
the Oracle WebLogic NodeManager (c_Middleware_wlserver_10.3) service.
Unzip the upgrade installer patch file and start the installer like this:

cd c:\installers
unzip p13529623_1036_Generic.zip
c:\Middleware\Oracle_BI1\jdk\bin\java -jar wls1036_upgrade_generic.jar

Middleware Home Directory: Use an existing Middleware Home (c:\Middleware)


Products and Components: select everything
Then, press Next until the upgrade starts. Ensure it completes successfully, and untick the "run quickstart"
checkbox before exiting the upgrade installer.
9.

A number of post-installation steps now have to be performed, starting by configuring Oracle Data Integrator
to use Fusion Middleware rather than standalone security.
To perform this security configuration, run the following commands from the Windows command prompt:

c:\Middleware\Oracle_BI1\common\bin\wlst.cmd
c:\Middleware\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\install\createJPSArtifactsODI.py
embedded --ADMIN_USER
_NAME weblogic --DOMAIN_HOSTNAME obia111171w64 --DOMAIN_PORT 7001
--DOMAIN_HOME_
PATH c:\Middleware\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain

When prompted, enter welcome1 as the password for the WebLogic Server administration user.
Then, issue the following command-line commands to copy across the wallet files created by the above
steps to where Oracle Data Integrator is installed:

copy c:\Middleware\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain\odi-clientconfig\embedded\cwallet.sso
c:\Middleware\Oracle_ODI1\oracledi\client\odi\bin\
copy c:\Middleware\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain\odi-clientconfig\embedded\jps-config-jse.xml
c:\Middleware\Oracle_ODI1\oracledi\client\odi\bin\

Then, using a text editor edit the


c:\Middleware\Oracle_ODI1\oracledi\client\odi\bin\odi.conf document and replace the
line:
AddVMOption -Doracle.security.jps.config=./jps-config.xml
with the text:
AddVMOption -Doracle.security.jps.config=./jps-config-jse.xml
...so that the new wallet file is used when authenticating from Oracle Data Integrator Studio.
Then, install the Load Plan Generator plug-in for Oracle Data Integrator by unzipping the plugin archive file,
and then copying the plugin files to the Oracle Data Integrator Studio client installation.

cd C:\Middleware\Oracle_BI1\clients\biappsclients\odi
unzip
copy lpggui.jar c:\Middleware\Oracle_ODI1\oracledi\client\ide\extensions
xcopy c:\Middleware\Oracle_BI1\clients\biappsclients\odi\*
c:\Middleware\Oracle_ODI1\oracledi\client\ide\extensions /s /i /e

del
c:\Middleware\Oracle_ODI1\oracledi\client\ide\extensions\OBIA_LPG_Plugin
.zip
del c:\Middleware\Oracle_ODI1\oracledi\client\ide\extensions\Readme.txt
Almost there! There are just a few more patches to apply, and a new version of the Oracle BI Administrator
application to install into your Windows environment.
10. Begin by stopping your Oracle Business Intelligence installation, by selecting Start > All programs >
Oracle Business Intelligence > Stop BI Services
Then run the following SQL script to update the Oracle ATG repository data:

c:\Middleware\instances\instance1\bin>sqlplus
dev_biacomp/welcome1
@C:\Middleware\Oracle_BI1\sdf\DW\ATGPF\sql\fndtbs_11170_upg.sql

The patches that upgraded Oracle Business Intelligence as part of this installation also delivered an updated
version of the Oracle BI Administration tool. To install this within your Windows environment, run the
following command-line commands:

cd c:\installers\patches\biappsshiphome\generic
unzip BISHIPHOME_11_1_1_7_0_GENERIC_130409_1210_16492220.zip
16492220\files\clients\biserver\biee_client_install_x64.exe

When prompted for an install location, choose c:\obi_client\, and also distribute this installer to all
other developers working with Oracle Business Intelligence Applications 11.1.1.7.1.
The installation process also imported some files that the data loading process later on will require. To place
these files in the correct location, again from the command prompt enter the following commands:

Mkdir c:\Middleware\Oracle_ODI1\oracledi\etl
xcopy c:\Middleware\Oracle_BI1\biapps\etl
c:\Middleware\Oracle_ODI1\oracledi\etl /s /i /e

Finally, to try out Oracle Data Integrator Studio and set up a login connection, select Start > All Programs >
Oracle > Oracle Data Integrator > ODI Studio. Click on the Connect to Repository link, when the Oracle
Data Integrator login dialog is shown, press the "+" (New) button to bring up the Repository Connection
Information dialog. Enter the following details to create the connection:
Login Name: BI Admin
User: biadmin
Password: welcome1
User: DEV_BIA_ODIREPO
Password: welcome1
Driver List: Oracle JDBC Drive
Driver Name : oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver
URL : jdbc:oracle:thin:@obia111171w64:1521:orcl
Work Repository : BIAPPS_WORKREP

Once you've created this connection and used it to log into Oracle Data Integrator Studio, click on the BI
Apps Project > Mappings folder, and then you'll see the pre-built data loading routines that you use to load
the Oracle Business Analytics data warehouse, as shown in Figure 8. Congratulations! You have now
performed the install part of the process.

Figure 8: Oracle Data Integrator Studio


Configuring a BI Applications 11.1.1.7.1 Data Load
At this point our environment consists only of installed software and an empty data warehouse. The next step in the
process is to run Oracle's pre-packaged data extraction and load routines against a supported source system, which
for the purposes of this article will be Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1.3. To do this, we will use a combination of three
tools: the aforementioned Oracle BI Applications Configuration Manager and Oracle Data Integrator, along with
another application called Oracle BI Applications Functional Setup Manager.
Configuration Manager and Functional Setup Manager are web-based applications that run in the BI Managed Server
and replace many of the configuration and administration capabilities of the DAC in the prior release. Where
Configuration Manager serves as the interface for administering the entire BI Applications environment and
configuring Oracle Data Integrator, Functional Setup Manager acts as a lightweight project management tool for
configuring a specific BI Application, like Supply Chain and Order Management Analytics, as shown in Figure 9.

Figure 9: Supply Chain and Order Management Analytics Tasks in Functional Setup Manager
With that distinction in mind, configuring a data load in BI Applications 11.1.1.7.1 involves making environmentspecific configurations in Configuration Manager, and then application-specific configurations in Functional Setup
Manager. For the purposes of this article, we're going to focus on making as few configurations as possible for
sandboxing and running a simple data load, bringing in inventory information as part of the Supply Chain and Order
Management Analytics BI application. The steps below are not meant to be a complete set of configurations for a
production environment of a full BI Application. With that disclaimer out of the way, let's take a look at the
environment-specific configurations first.
Configuring a New BI Applications 11.1.1.7.1 Instance
If you've been following along on your own sandbox environment up to this point, here is where the going will get a
little rough, as we'll need a supported source system environment to configure against and load from. If you happen
to have access to such an environment, congratulations! This guide will make note of where you'll enter your own
configuration values instead of the ones provided. If you don't have your own supported source system environment
to connect to, the easiest option for you will be to stand up your own EBS 12.1.3 VISION database instance by
following the wonderful instructions provided by our friends over at Pythian:
http://www.pythian.com/blog/build-ebs-sandbox-1hr/
You can skip the steps for creating the EBS Apps tier, but please note that these instructions create a second virtual
machine using Virtual Box only (VMware not supported) and as such, you may need to navigate additional system
requirements and/or setup tasks that won't be covered in this article to integrate your BI Applications instance with
your EBS VISION database instance. Alternatively, you may have an instance of the Vision demo environment
already available in your organization, or Oracle Partners may be able to download a copy of the Vision demo EBS
dataset from the Oracle Partner Network website if you work for an Oracle Partner organization, contact your local
OPN representative who may be able to help you.

The following instructions have both instances running on the same physical machine containing 16GB RAM and the
network is configured to allow both instances to connect to each other.
With those pesky details out of the way, let's begin.
1.

Our first task is to make sure the Oracle Data Integrator Agent is running, as that will be the "air traffic
controller" to allow our Load Plans to execute. To do this, first ensure that the WebLogic Node Manager
service is running, and then use your Web browser to navigate to the WebLogic Server Administration
Console at http://obia111171w64:7001/console , logging in as weblogic/welcome1.
On the console Home Page, click the Servers link under Domain Structure > Environment. The
Summary of Servers page will list the three servers in this environment: the Admin server (AdminServer),
the managed BI server (bi_server1), and the managed ODI server (odi_server1), and while the state of first
two will show as 'RUNNING', odi_server1 will show as 'SHUTDOWN'.
Click the Control tab and then check the checkbox next to the odi_server1 managed server. This should
enable the Start button above and below the table of servers. Then, click the Start button and press Yes
when prompted. The odi_server1 will start, though it may take several minutes to do so. You can click the
double circular arrows icon to have the status refresh automatically. Once the state of odi_server1 is
'RUNNING', you may continue.

2.

2. Now that the ODI Agent is ready to do our bidding, we can begin the process of configuring our BI
Applications environment in Configuration Manager.
Using your Web browser, navigate to http://obia111171w64:9704/biacm, and login as biadmin/welcome1.
There are several global configuration steps we must perform first in Configuration Manager, and they are
grouped under Tasks >System Setups on the left-hand side of the screen. Click our first task, Define
Business Intelligence Applications Instance, to start this configuration process.
Clicking on this task then presents three tabs for configuration: Source Systems, Target Warehouse, and
Environment Configuration. If you look at the Target Warehouse and Environment Configuration tabs,
you'll see that the BI Applications Configuration Utility has already configured these for you. However, there
are no Source Systems defined, so that becomes our first task.
Click the Source Systems tab (if it isn't selected already) and click the green plus symbol to add a new
source system. Enter the following details, when prompted:
Product Line: Oracle E-Business Suite
Product Line Version: Oracle E-Business Suite R 12.1.3.x
Source Instance Name: EBSVISION
Description: EBS VISION instance
Data Source Number: 1000
(The above fields can be altered based on your source system.)
Click the Next button to register the source in the ODI Topology. It's worth noting here that Configuration
Manager writes configuration details directly into the ODI Repository. This saves an administrator valuable
time because Configuration Manager consolidates multiple ODI configurations into a single Configuration
Manager screen.
Start by selecting Global in the Context dropdown, and then in the Technology: Oracle tab, enter the
following information:
ODI Data Server Name: EBSVISION
JDBC Driver: oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver
JDBC URL: jdbc:oracle:thin:@ebsvision.local.org:1563:VIS
Database Username: APPS

Database Password: apps


(The above fields can be altered based on your source system.)
Now click the Test button under Test Connection to make sure you've entered the connectivity information
properly and your OBIA environment can communicate with your source system.

Figure 10: Connection Details for the EBS Database in Configuration Manager
The BI Applications have always made use of text files as sources for some key content not stored in the source
system. While text files are flexible, they aren't the best enterprise solution, so with BI Applications 11.1.1.7.1, Oracle
started the process of moving some of this content to Configuration Manager. However, there are still text files to be
managed and maintained, so before we can complete the next tab, use Windows Explorer to copy the the 'etl' folder
in C:\Middleware\Oracle_BI1\biapps\ to a new directory called C:\biappsfiles\. Note that you can name
the target folder anything you want (no spaces) and it can be in any location you want, but it's recommended to move
them to another location to avoid them being overwritten during an upgrade. On a production server, a SAN or NAS
server is preferable.
We also need to update this location in ODI, so before continuing with Configuration Manager, open ODI Studio,
navigate to the Topology tab, and expand Technologies: File: BIAPPS_DW_FILE tree until you see the following
object:
BIAPPS_DW_FILE.c:\Middleware\Oracle_BI1/biapps/etl/data_files/src_files/BIA_11
Double-click this object to open it and update the following two fields in the Definition tab:
Directory (Schema):
C:\biappsfiles\etl\data_files\src_files\BIA_11
Directory (Work Schema):
C:\biappsfiles\etl\data_files\src_files\BIA_11

Click the Save icon in the toolbar (notice the object name changes) and you can close the object in ODI Studio.
Then, in the Technology: File System tab back in Configuration Manager, enter the following information:
ODI Data Server Name: EBSVISIONFILES
Host Name: obia111171w64
Path To File: C:\biappsfiles\etl\data_files\src_files\EBS_12_1_3
Finally, click the Save and Close button, and then Done, to finish this configuration process.
At this point, Configuration Manager has written the configuration from this one screen into the ODI Repository for
four different objects in the Physical and Logical Topology, two of which are shown in Figure 11. You can now open
the ODI Studio application to view these configurations within ODI if you so desire.

Figure 11: EBSVISION Physical and Logical Architecture Objects Created and Linked in ODI
3.

The first major step of our environment configuration is complete: our source system. The next task is to
inform Configuration Manager of which BI Applications "offerings" are licensed to be used in this
environment. The key emphasis here is what is licensed to be implemented, not what you're actually
implementing at this time. We will configure that in a later step. Note that for demo or personal training
purposes, you can select any offering from this list, but you should ensure that you only select those that you
have licensed when working on a full implementation project see your local Oracle representative, or an
Oracle partner, if you need your licensing to be clarified or extended to include the BI Applications.
Moving back to your Web browser, click System Setups > Manage Business Intelligence Applications
on the left-hand sidebar in Configuration Manager. Then, within the Manage Business Intelligence
Applications page, locate the Oracle Supply Chain and Order Management Analytics entry and check
the Enabled checkbox next to it to select that BI Applications offering (you may need to use the scroll bar to

see this checkbox). Then, press the OK button in the dialog then is then displayed, and once it closes, press
Save.
Next, select the Business Intelligence Application Offerings and Associated Sources tab and expand
Oracle Supply Chain and Order Management Analytics. The 'EBSVISION' checkbox in the Enabled
column should be checked; once confirmed, press the Done button to return to the main Configuration
Manager page.
4.

While there are other configurations that could be done at this time, we've completed the minimum
configurations required to move to the next phase, which is to generate and execute a Domain Load Plan.
Load plans are the steps that execute a data load and are similar to execution plans in earlier, DAC-based
versions of the BI Applications. The difference is that BI Applications 11.1.1.7.1 contains metadata about
what steps are required to load every application and you must generate an executable load plan based on
what you specifically plan to load. This potentially reduces the amount of step pruning you need to do after
the fact.
There are also different types of load plans. The Domain-Only Load Plan will run some targeted data
extractions from the source system to assist with configurations for specific applications. This stands in
contrast to a Source Extract And Load Plan, which focuses on loading the facts and dimensions in the
warehouse.
In the next step you will build your first load plan, in this instance a domain load plan to extract data from the
source system to support loading the Inventory Transactions fact table group within the Supply Chain and
Order Management offering. To start this process, using your Web browser and still within the Configuration
Manager application, click Load Plans Administration > Manage Load Plans
Then, when the Manage Load Plans page opens, click the green plus symbol to add a new load plan, and
enter the following details to define the new domain load plan:
Name: EBSVISION SCOM Domain
Description: [optional]
Load Plan Type: Domain-only Extract and Load (SDE and SIL)
Source Instances: EBSVISION
(The above fields can be altered based on your source system except 'Load Plan Type'.)
Then, press the Next button to display the list of available fact table groups; check the checkbox in the
Selected column for the Inventory Transactions (INVTRX_FG) fact group, which you can find under the
Oracle Supply Chain and Order Management Analytics > Logistics fact grouping.

Figure 12: Selecting the Fact Groups for the Domain Load Plan
Click the Save button and select Save and Generate Load Plan when prompted. This will create a custom load plan
in ODI that is a subset of the master load plan based on the load plan type and fact groups we selected. This process
will take a few minutes and can be monitored by clicking the blue circular arrows refresh symbol. Once the generation
is complete, as indicated in the Generation Status column by a green checkmark next to the black circular arrows
symbol, you may proceed to the next step, which is actually executing the load plan.
To execute the load plan, click the Execute button, signified by a green play button symbol in a white box, and select
the following values when the Execute Load Plan dialog is shown:
Context: Global
Logical Agent: OracleDIAgent
Oracle Data Integrator Work Repository: BIAPPS_WORKREP
Then, click the OK button, and the ODI Agent will now execute the domain load plan we created. This process will
take several minutes depending on your system and can be monitored by clicking the blue circular arrows refresh
symbol. Once the execution is complete, as indicated in the Execution Status column by a large white checkmark in
a green circle symbol, you may proceed to the next step.
Configuring a Specific BI Application Offering and Run a Data Load
The first few configurations we made were universal environment configurations, such as the source system. Now it's
time to turn our attention to application, or offering-specific configurations. Before we get too far into this step, let's
reinforce what we said at the beginning: minimal required configuration to run a load. At this point, we could actually
skip this entire section and go straight to a data load, as some key configurations are already seeded with values
from our domain load plan and the out-of-the-box content. The data may not be accurate nor will you have the
functionality you desire, but you could do it. However, skipping this section would prevent us from highlighting one of
the more interesting features of BI Applications 11.1.1.7.1: Functional Setup Manager.

While technically a separate application, Functional Setup Manager operates much like Configuration Manager does
for ODI: a faster, simpler way to get to the configuration you need to make. More often than not, Functional Setup
Manager opens a window to a specific parameter screen in Configuration Manager that is required for a particular
offering you are implementing. Rather than hunt and peck through the many parameters in Configuration Manager,
Functional Setup Manager notifies you that a parameter is important and takes you to the right place in Configuration
Manager to configure it. So really, it's a helper application to make sure you know exactly what you need to do, and
that's an important distinction, because you technically don't have to use it if you know what you're doing. So let's
walk through the basics of Functional Setup Manager so you can see how it works.
1.

The first step, again performed through your Web browser, is to jump to Functional Setup Manager through
Configuration Manager.
Click Perform Functional Configurations in Configuration Manager, and then login to Functional Setup
Manager as biadmin/welcome1. Then, click Configure Offerings; here we will enable our licensed offering
for implementation.
Check the Enable for Implementation checkbox beside Oracle Supply Chain and Order Management
Analytics and press Yes to continue.
Check the Enable for Implementation checkbox besideOracle E-Business Suite-Oracle Supply Chain
and Order Management Analytics and every box under it. Then, click Save and Close.

Figure 13: Enabling Supply Chain and Order Management Analytics to be implemented for EBS
2.

Next we're going to create an implementation project for our enabled offering. An implementation project is
nothing more than a collection of tasks required to configure the offerings you include in the project. Much
like the load plan, BI Applications 11.1.1.7.1 contains a master task list for every offering, with some tasks
having a one-to-many relationship to the offerings. Creating an implementation project is very similar to
generating a load plan in that you only get a subset of the master based on your selections.

Click Implementation Projects tab and click the 'Create' icon, then enter and select the values below:
Name: EBSVISION SCOM
Code: EBSVISION_SCOM
Description: EBSVISION SCOM
Assigned To: biadmin
Start Date: [accept default]
Finish Date: [leave blank]
Click the Next button.
Check the Include checkbox beside Oracle Supply Chain and Order Management Analytics, then check
the Include checkbox beside Oracle E-Business Suite-Oracle Supply Chain and Order Management
Analytics and all checkboxes under it. Then, click the Save and Open Project button.
3.

Upon opening the project, you are presented with the countless tasks to configure Supply Chain and Order
Management Analytics. The tasks in Functional Setup Manager generally fall into three categories:
a.

Informational tasks that route you to the proper place in the documentation.

b.

Parameter or Domain tasks that route you to the proper place in Configuration Manager.

c.

Text file configuration tasks that tell you what file to edit.

To get a feel for configuring a parameter in Configuration Manager, and to limit the amount of data loaded in
our sandbox, let's set the initial extract date for the data load.
To set this data load restriction, expand the Oracle Supply Chain and Order Management Analytics
folder, then click the Go to Task icon beside * Configure Initial Extract Date. A Configuration Manager
screen will open inside Functional Setup Manager.
Click the '1/1/70' date in Global Parameter Value, and then click Yes.
Change the year '70' to '07' in the * Parameter Value field.

Figure 14: Changing the Year of the Initial Extract Date Parameter
Click the Save and Close button, then Done and Done again, and finally close the Functional Setup Manager
browser tab.

4.

Now for the exciting part! We're now ready to generate and execute a load plan for a full data load.
Under Load Plans Administration in Configuration Manager, click Manage Load Plans, then click the
green plus symbol to add a new load plan. When prompted, select or enter the values below:
Name: EBSVISION SCOM
Description: [optional]
Load Plan Type: Source Extract and Load (SDE, SIL and PLP)
Source Instances: EBSVISION
(The above fields can be altered based on your source system except 'Load Plan Type'.)
When done, click the Next button, and then on the next page check the checkbox in the Selected column
for the Inventory Transactions (INVTRX_FG) fact group.
Then, click the Save button and select the Save and Generate Load Plan option in the dropdown prompt
that is then presented. Like before, this will create a custom load plan in ODI based on the load plan type
and fact groups we selected. Generating a load plan for a full data load take a little longer than a domain
load and can be monitored by clicking the blue circular arrows refresh symbol. Once the generation is
complete, as indicated in the Generation Status column by a green checkmark next to the black circular
arrows symbol, you may proceed to the next step.
Data Load Note #1: If you are using the EBS Vision 12.1.3 instance referenced earlier, this execution plan
will likely fail because of a unique index constraint on one of the dimensions. You have two choices: you can
either proceed with execution and wait for the load plan to fail, then move over to ODI Studio and manually
mark the step as complete and restart the load plan, or you can remove the step from the generated load
plan in ODI Studio before executing it. The step that will fail is #851 and is located at the following place in
the Steps Hierarchy:

Global Variable Refresh > Warehouse Load Phase > 1


SIL Load > 2 SIL Dimension Group > Parallel
Dependent DimGroup > 3 SIL Dims INVPROD_DIM >
Finalize INVPROD_DIM > EXEC_TABLE_MAINT_PROC

Click the Execute button, signified by a green play button symbol in a white box, and select the following
values when prompted:
Context: Global
Logical Agent: OracleDIAgent
Oracle Data Integrator Work Repository: BIAPPS_WORKREP
Click the OK button. The ODI Agent will now execute the domain load plan we created. This process will
take several minutes depending on your system and can be monitored by clicking the blue circular arrows
refresh symbol. Once the execution is complete, as indicated in the Execution Status column by a large
white checkmark in a green circle symbol, your load is complete!

Figure 15: Success!


Data Load Note #2: Depending on the target database you're using, you may need to increase the number of
concurrent processes the database will run. If you find your execution plan is failing in many places with an ORA12516 error, you may want to run the following statement logged into the database as sys as sysdba, and then
shutdown/restart the database (please consult your DBA first if this environment is anything but a personal sandbox
environment):
alter system set processes=250 scope=spfile;
Data Load Note #3: Additionally, if you have selected different offerings from what has been outlined in this article,
you may find yourself running out of temp space in your dev_dw temp file. If you do, you can resize it with the
following SQL statement and restart your load plan (please consult your DBA first if this environment is anything but a
personal sandbox environment):
SQL> alter database tempfile 'C:\app\oracle\oradata\orcl\dev_dwtemp.dbf' resize 10G;
After the load completes, you can run a simple count query against the W_PRODUCT_XACT_F table in the dev_dw
schema, like so:

SQL> select count(*) from w_product_xact_f;


COUNT(*)
---------174742
Additionally, you can launch the 'Inventory > Activities' dashboard page under Supply Chain and Order
Management in OBIEE, which is shown in Figure 16.

Figure 16: The Loaded Data Displayed in OBIEE


Congratulations! You have just completed your first installation and data load in BI Applications 11.1.1.7.1 and learned
the basic concepts of this release. We hope this article has proven valuable in your exploration of the latest major
release of the Oracle BI Applications.

References

Applies to:
Oracle WebCenter Content - Version 11.1.1.3.0 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.
This Knowledge Management article is specific to upgrading to 11.1.1.6 (PS5). For
other versions, see the references section for appropriate KM notes.

Goal
How to upgrade a previous version of 11g WebCenter Content (formerly UCM, Universal Content Management) to PS5
11.1.1.6.0 WCC.

Solution
Note: The following procedures will not delete or affect content already in the Repository.
However, as always good IT Administration practice, prior to performing an upgrade, have a complete backup of the file system
the WCC resides on (and that includes cluster servers) and the WCC database schema.

Note: Prior to upgrading the WebCenter Content server, the Weblogic Server must
also be upgraded. If clustered, WebLogic Server must be upgraded on all same

clustered Domain nodes (in rolling fashion, typically).


Note: If you are upgrading a WebLogic clustered Domain with WebCenter Content
server clustered managed servers installed per the Fusion Middleware HA guide
(reference architecture shown in My Oracle Support Document 1359930.1), all steps
below will need to be performed against all member cluster nodes (in rolling
fashion, typically) except for step F. Step F only needs to be run from one of the
clustered nodes since the database is shared between them.

A. Get the 11.1.1.6 media


Note: The same media that's used to install a new 11.1.1.6 Domain is also used for
upgrading
With the release of Webcenter Content 11g 11.1.1.7, the 11.1.1.6 media is no longer available from OTN, download.oracle.com
The 11.1.1.6 media can still be made available by making a Software and OS Media Requests SR in My Oracle Support.
1. In My Oracle Support select the Contact Us link in the upper right hand corner of the page
It's next to the Help drop down menu
2. In the Problem Type drop down menu, select Software and OS Media Requests

B. Download the Weblogic patch to upgrade it to 10.3.6.0


1. In My Oracle Support, select the Patches and Updates tab
2. In the Patch Name or Number field enter the WLS upgrade patch, 13529623
3. Click the Search button
4. Select 13529623: PLACEHOLDER BUG FOR WEBLOGIC SERVER 11GR1 (10.3.6) UPGRADE INSTALLER

NOTE: This will be the Generic Platform version


5. Click the Download button
6. Select the p13529623_1036_Generic.zip
7. Save the zip file
8. After the download completes, extract the wls1036_upgrade_generic.jar file

C: Stop the Weblogic processes


1. Stop the WCC and if implemented, the IBR and IPM Managed Servers
2. Stop the Domain Admin Server
3. If used and running, stop the NodeManager

D: Install the Weblogic patch to upgrade it to 10.3.6.0


1. Change the directory to where the wls1036_upgrade_generic.jar is extracted to

2. Make sure that the file has the same OS owner and group that owns the Weblogic and WCC files
3. As the user that owns WLS or was installed by, execute: java -jar wls1036_upgrade_generic.jar

NOTE:

If this is a 64 bit server run: java -d64 -jar wls1036_upgrade_generic.jar

NOTE: Make sure that the java used is the same used by the Weblogic Server and
WebCenter Content.
4. Run through the screens to complete the upgrade.

NOTE: In the final screen, there will be a 'QuickStart Menu' check box. DO NOT
check the box.

NOTE: You might see documentation suggesting to run the <Middleware


path>/wlserver_10.3/common/bin/upgrade.sh. This is not required when upgrading
Weblogic from previous versions to 10.3.6. Running the script will cause the
setDomainEnv.sh/cmd file to get overwritten. If any extra parameters were added to
it, they will be lost.

E: Update WebCenter Content


Note: Run the following procedures as the same user that owns the Weblogic and
WebCenter Content
1. If the media is in a zip format, extract the zip files
Make sure that the directories and files have the same OS owner and group that owns the Weblogic and WCC files
2. If the media is on DVDs, mount the DVD
3. Change the directory to Disk1
4. Initiate the install
If the WCC is installed on Unix or Linux:
As the user that owns the WCC, execute ./runInstaller
If the WCC is installed on Windows:
As the user that the WCC was installed by, execute setup.exe
5. At the Please specify JRE/JDK location ... prompt enter the same path to java as used by the WCC
6. In the Welcome screen click the Next button
7. In the Install Software Updates screen select the Skip Software Update radio button
8. Click the Next button
9. In the Prerequisite Checks screen click the Next button (Assuming of course that the prerequisites passed)
10. In the Specify Installation Location screen make sure the Oracle Middleware Home and Oracle Home Directory are

3.9.8.2 Updating Oracle Application Adapters for Oracle WebCenter Content

I: If necessary, upgrade the Java JDK


As specified in the WCC certification matrix, depending on the operating system and processor, 11.1.1.6 requires:
Oracle JDK 1.6.0_29 or higher
JRockit 6 Update 29 or higher
Oracle JDK 1.7.0_2 or higher
The steps to configure the domain to utilize the upgraded JDK is covered in Note: 1058804.1

J: Restart the WCC, IBR, and IPM Managed Servers


Also if desired, start the Domain Admin server

K: Apply the latest released WCC opatch - The now upgraded WCC will only
be at the base 11.1.1.6 version.
1. In My Oracle Support, select the Patches and Updates tab
2. In the Search tab select the Product or Family (Advanced) link
3. In the Product drop down menu select Oracle Webcenter Content
4. In the Release drop down menu select 11.1.1.6.0
5. Click the Search button
6. Look for the WCC 11.1.1.6.0 BUNDLE with the highest MLR number
7. Download the patch zip file
8. Unzip the file
9. View the readme file for the proper procedure to apply the opatch

NOTE: The upgrade process will not overwrite any custom components in the <UCM Domain path>/ucm/cs/components
directory. However, custom components that worked in the previous version may not function correctly in 11.1.1.6. The
recommendation is to disable all custom components first before begining the upgrade process. Then after the upgrade is
complete, start the WCC to verify base functionality and then re-enable the components.
