Section 5.2, Configuring Oracle Business Intelligence with the Configuration Assistant.
4.5.4.1 Considerations and Limitations for Software Only Install Type
The following considerations and limitations apply to the Software Only Install type:
■
The Software Only Install type can be used if you ultimately want an enterprise install of Oracle Business Intelligence. The Software Only Install type does not
support simple installs. Use the Simple Install
type instead.
■
You must install Oracle WebLogic Server separately before initiating a Software Only installation. For more information on installing Oracle WebLogic Server, see
Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle WebLogic Server.
■
To install Oracle Business Intelligence with your own JDK rather than the one that is provided with Oracle WebLogic Server, you must first install the JDK before
installing Oracle WebLogic Server and Oracle Business Intelligence.
■
If you intend to use the Software Only Install type as part of your strategy to later extend an existing Oracle WebLogic Server domain, ensure the following:
– The domain is empty, that is, no other software products exist in the domain.
– The domain physically exists on the same computer where you plan to install
and configure Oracle Business Intelligence. Extending domains remotely is not supported.
■
To scale out your installation using the Software Only Install type on a shared network drive and with a shared Fusion Middleware home, you must specify the
same domain home for all computers in your cluster. This can be accomplished by setting the same value in the Domain Home field in the Scale BI System Details
screen of the Configuration Assistant. Using the same domain home for all computers in a scaled-out system with a shared Middleware home is required to
start one or more managed servers within a domain through Node Manager.
