4-10 Installation Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence
4.5.1 Simple Install
Select the Simple Install type when you want to install a standalone instance of Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition, Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher, or
Oracle Real-Time Decisions with the default settings in the minimum number of steps. The Simple Install type deploys all selected applications to a single WebLogic Server
instance and is ideally suited for demonstration, evaluation, and proof-of-concept purposes.
4.5.1.1 Considerations and Limitations for the Simple Install Type
The following considerations and limitations apply to the Simple Install type:
■
The Simple Install type is intended for installing standalone instances of Oracle Business Intelligence. You cannot scale out, add components to, or use the
Configuration Assistant on instances of Oracle Business Intelligence that were installed with the Simple Install type.
■
Unlike the Enterprise Install type, the Simple Install type does not install a Managed Server. Furthermore, with Simple Install type, components that typically
exist in the Managed Server logically speaking are provided in the Administration Server instead.
