4.2.2 Installing Oracle Business Intelligence 11g on Multiple Computers
If you are installing on multiple computers, review Chapter 2, Recommended
Installation Scenarios for Oracle Business Intelligence for common scenarios.
4.2.3 Installing Oracle Business Intelligence 11g on a Computer that Uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol DHCP
If you plan to install Oracle Business Intelligence on a computer that uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol DHCP, you must perform additional configuration
tasks before you install Oracle Business Intelligence. See Installing on DHCP Hosts in Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Planning Guide.
4.2.4 Installing Oracle Business Intelligence 11g on 64-bit Operating Systems
Oracle Business Intelligence supports many 64-bit Linux, UNIX, and Windows operating systems. For the full list of supported 64-bit operating systems, refer to the
System Requirements and Supported Platforms for Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition 11gR1 document on Oracle Technology Network at the following

For all install types Simple, Enterprise, and Software Only, the steps for installing Oracle Business Intelligence are the same on 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems if you
want to use the JDK that is provided with Oracle Business Intelligence. Simply follow the steps provided for those install types whether you’re installing on a 32-bit or 64-bit
operating system.
However, to use another JDK, you must install it before installing Oracle WebLogic Server and Oracle Business Intelligence. See
Section 4.2.5, Installing Oracle Business Intelligence 11g with Your Own Java Development Kit JDK.
4.2.5 Installing Oracle Business Intelligence 11g with Your Own Java Development Kit JDK
The Simple Install and Enterprise Install types provide and install, by default, a Java Development Kit JDK. However, you can choose to install your own JDK. For this,
you must use the Software Only Install type in the following process:
1.
Install your JDK. Follow the instructions provided with the documentation for your JDK.
2.
Install Oracle WebLogic Server. Follow the instructions in Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle WebLogic Server.
3.
Install Oracle Business Intelligence 11g using the Software Only Install type. Follow the instructions in
Section 4.5.4, Software Only Install.
4.
Configure Oracle Business Intelligence 11g. Follow the instructions in Section 5.2,
Configuring Oracle Business Intelligence with the Configuration Assistant. In addition to the requirements described above, be aware of the following:
■
Oracle Business Intelligence does not support 32-bit JDKs on 64-bit operating systems and 64-bit JDKs on 32-bit operating systems. Ensure that the JDK you
install matches the bit architecture of your operating system.
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.
