    HI Lenardo,

    Did you install same system or another system? Please confirm.

    1. If you install same system then you need to uninstall proper way and need to clean register as well otherwise you will get create domain error.

    Thanks,

    Stya, I uninstalled the OBIEE following the procedures below and the create domain error still. Do you have any idea? Thanks, a lot

    1. Weblogic uninstall
    2. OBIEE uninstall
    3. C:\Oracle\middleware\oracle_common\oui\bin\setup.exe -deinstall -jreLoc C:\Java\jdk1.7.0_21
    4. I cleaned the registers into h_key_local_machine -> system -> services (into h_key_local_machine -> software -> oracle was already cleaned)
    5. I removed the repository databases with the rcu tool

      These are the steps i have followed.

      1.Installed Oacle database 11gR2 64 bit version.
      2.Installed Java (JDK 7) win 64 bit.
      3.Created RCU
      4.Before OBIEE installation i have cleared the spaces in the temp paths, Created Java environment variables, Installed loop back adapter, disabled the security settings.

      Can you please check here after installing the loop back adaptor these are the entries i have in my host file.
      (
      127.0.0.1 localhost
      10.10.10.10 chakkir.USA.com( username.Domainname)) Is it correct?

      5) After all these steps i started the OBIEE installation as an Administrator.

    Hi Satya,

    Thank you for the information in your blog.
    I have this error when running configuration assistant, Update BI Domain :

    specified domain cannot be used for scale out BI system
    Encountered the following unexpected error:oracle.bi.adminutils type=ScaleOutSupport

    I have checked my loopback adapter, invoke startweblogic and try to rerun config.bat but still have the same issue.
    Have I missed some step?
    Do you know where the log for trace that error?

    Thank you very much Satya ! Your blog with the steps was the most informative of all materials I searched on the internet. You were right - one needs to install Weblogic first before doing any of the OBIEE installation. Also thanks for the command to check if the OBIEE services are up and running using Windows command prompt. That is really useful when you restart your laptop and find you are not able to log into your OBIEE.

    Hi Sathya,

    First you Installed Weblogic Server then you installed OBIEE using software Installation.
    Same thing I did and I have some questions.
    when we install weblogic it will take 7001 port and After OBIEE installation I am not able to see BI_Server1 componet under 7001 its took 7003. can you please let me know why it happened.

    Hi Sathya,

    My office Computer domain name is having office domain information, like example asai.ibcorp.net . Can I still install obiee 11g on this type of machine. Will this cause any Create Domain problem at Step 14 of 15 step. Thanks for your inputs.

    Dear Satya Sir,

    I have followed every single step without missing anything. But at Creating Domain Configuration Process, installation never proceeds and hangs.

    I have configured Loopback Adapters.
    Taken care of the Static IP stuff.
    Taken care of Temp and Environmental variable stuff.
    JDK 1.6 32-bit as Weblogic is 10.3.5.0
    Windows 7 64bit with 8GB RAM.

    Request you to advice me as I am doing this since last two days with no progress.
    INSTALLATION STOPS AND NEVER PROCEEDS AT CREATING DOMAIN.

    Best regards,
    Kiran

    Hi Satya, thanks for the informative post, the installation went successful for me doing this way, using the software only install and doing the configurations later. initially i was also getting stuck at the domain creation step.
    All other for whom this is still not working, the cause might be that the simple install is not uninstalled properly, there were few things to note here: if your OBI install is not getting uninstalled use the following command:
    C:\Oracle\Middleware\oracle_common\oui\bin\setup.exe -deinstall -jreLoc C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_32\jre (oui location will change based on your install location).
    The weblogic server that gets installed as part of the simple install can be uninstalled using
    execute the uninstall.jar file by running the command, java -jar uninstall.jar after locating the install location for weblogic server.
