4-4 Installation Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence
■
If you install a 3264-bit hybrid JDK on a 64-bit operating system, ensure that it is deployed in 64-bit mode. On UNIX and Linux, this can be accomplished by using
the -d64 flag when installing Oracle WebLogic Server.
■
If you install your own 64-bit JDK, ensure that your JAVA_HOME refers to it. You can check this by running the java -version command or the java -d64
-version command on UNIX or Linux operating systems using a 3264-bit
hybrid JDK. For this and other considerations related to installing 64-bit JDKs, see Installing WebLogic Server on 64-Bit Platforms Using a 64-Bit JDK in the Oracle
Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle WebLogic Server.
4.2.6 Installing Oracle Business Intelligence 11g on a Computer that Contains Oracle Business Intelligence 10g
Do not install Oracle Business Intelligence 11g on a computer that is running Oracle Business Intelligence 10g, as this installation scenario is not supported. For instructions
on how to upgrade from Oracle Business Intelligence 10g to Oracle Business Intelligence 11g, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Upgrade Guide for Oracle Business
Intelligence Enterprise Edition.
4.2.7 Installing Oracle Business Intelligence 11g on a Computer Running Microsoft Windows
If you plan to install Oracle Business Intelligence 11g on a computer running a Microsoft Windows operating system, ensure that the environment variable
_JAVA_OPTIONS is not set. To verify whether or not _JAVA_OPTIONS is set, do one of
the following:
■
Open a command prompt, navigate to the C:\ prompt, and enter the following command:
set _JAVA_OPTIONS If you receive a message Environment variable _JAVA_OPTIONS not defined,
the variable is not set.
■
On your desktop, right-click My Computer and select Properties to open the System Properties dialog. Click the Advanced tab, and then click Environment
Variables . In the Environment Variables dialog, look for the _JAVA_OPTIONS
variable in User Variables and System Variables list boxes. If the _JAVA_OPTIONS variable does not appear in either of these list boxes, the variable is not set.
If you determine that the _JAVA_OPTIONS variable is set, or if you have any related questions, contact your system administrator.
4.2.8 Setting Custom Port Values for Oracle Business Intelligence
When the Enterprise Install type is selected, the Oracle Business Intelligence 11g Installer enables you to set custom Oracle Business Intelligence port values in a
configuration file .ini. You can create the configuration file manually using one of the following methods:
■
Create the file from scratch in a text editor and save it in the .ini format.
■
Copy the sample staticports.ini file provided with the Oracle Business Intelligence installation package and edit the copied file in a text editor.
Installing Oracle Business Intelligence 4-5
The sample staticports.ini file contains a template for setting custom port values for Oracle Business Intelligence components. You can find the sample
staticports.ini file using one of the following methods:
– If you downloaded and extracted the Oracle Business Intelligence 11g Installer
.zip file, access the bi_installer_locDisk1stageResponse directory.
– If you have the Oracle Business Intelligence 11g Installer DVD, insert the DVD
into your computer and access the Disk1stageResponse directory. In your configuration file, enter the keys and values for your custom port values using
the following format: key = value
where key is the Oracle-defined key for the component and value is the port number for that component.
For example, to assign a custom port value for Oracle Business Intelligence Presentation Services, enter the following string:
Oracle BI Presentation Services Port No = 9705 To uncomment a line that contains a port value in staticports.ini, delete the pound sign
at the beginning of that line. You may assign any file name to your configuration file. However, you must append
the file name with the .ini file extension and save the file in a location that is accessible to the computer where you plan to run the Oracle Business Intelligence 11g Installer.
When you install Oracle Business Intelligence, the Oracle Business Intelligence 11g Installer enables you to specify the configuration file that contains your custom port
values.
