OBIEE 11g Installation on Windows7(64-bit)-11.1.1.6

By Satya Ranki Reddy

NOTE: OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.6) BI Administration Tool does not work under Windows 64-bit OS. It is expected that the next release of OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.4) will support 64-bit Operating Systems for the OBI Client applications. But Presentation Services work with the present release. So, think twice before you take decision to install 11g(11.1.1.6) on 64-bit OS.

So, if you have decided to install on 64-bit machine…follow these steps:

Part-1 –> Download software and configuring RCU (Repository Creation Utility)

Part-2–> Installing OBIEE 11g
Part-3–> Configuration

Part-1:
Download OBIEE 11g(11.1.1.6) software and RCU(for 32 bit and 64bit below link. As there is no RCU for 64bits, download the 32bits one and it works)

also download RCU

Once you download all the files, extract them and keep them under one directory(Keeping RCU in the same directory is not mandatory, just for convinience).

Before starting the installation keep your have got database up and running. RCU will create two schemas in the installation process…

First step of installaton is running RCU (Repository Creation Utility), go to C:\Software\OBIEE11gR1\bishiphome\rcuHome\BIN and double click on rcu.bat file.
