Oracle Real-Time Decisions You can install one, two, or all three of these products using Oracle Business
Intelligence 11g Installer. Oracle Business Intelligence 11g Installer creates all the run-time components and the infrastructure for the products you choose to install.
After running Oracle Business Intelligence 11g Installer, the installed products share the same Oracle Fusion Middleware infrastructure in a single WebLogic domain.
Note: The term Oracle Business Intelligence is used throughout
this guide to collectively refer to Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition, Oracle Real-Time Decisions, and Oracle Business
Intelligence Publisher. In cases where a description or instruction specifically applies to one of these products, the individual product’s
name is used instead.
1-2 Installation Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence
All Oracle Business Intelligence products intended for a WebLogic domain must be installed and configured at the same time. You cannot install some products now and
then install others to the same WebLogic domain later. For example, if you choose to install and configure Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition but not Oracle
Real-Time Decisions, you cannot later add Oracle Real-Time Decisions to the WebLogic domain. Similarly, any WebLogic domains that contain Oracle Business Intelligence
11g products should not be extended later to include other Oracle Fusion Middleware products.
