4-2 Installation Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence
■
Verify that you have sufficient administrator privileges to install the software. For example, on computers running Windows 7 or Windows 2008, install Oracle
Business Intelligence with the Run as Administrator option enabled.
■
Ensure that your database is not hardened for security purposes. Installing Oracle Business Intelligence against a hardened database is not supported.
■
If you plan to install multiple instances of Oracle Business Intelligence on a single computer, decide on a port management strategy. You can either allow Oracle
Business Intelligence 11g Installer to assign the ports for each instance automatically or you can assign them yourself through a custom port
configuration file .ini. If you choose the former method, ensure that all processes are running for any installed instances before you install subsequent instances.
This enables Oracle Business Intelligence 11g Installer to automatically identify and assign ports that are not yet in use. To assign the ports yourself through a
custom port configuration file, see
Section 4.2.8, Setting Custom Port Values for Oracle Business Intelligence.
