Installing Oracle BI 11g R1 – Windows Server 2008 R2 64bit
Recently I did an installation on a Windows Server 2008 R2 64bit. Reading through the documentation made me realize that it’s not possible to do a ‘Enterprise Install’. Check the following part in the manual:
“1.4.3 Software Only Install
The Software Only Install type installs the Oracle Business Intelligence software binary files in an Oracle home for later configuration as part of a Fusion Middleware deployment. This install type is required to install Oracle Business Intelligence on an AIX operating system or with a 64-bit JVM, such as on a supported 64-bit operating system.”
Th following could be a guideline to install Oracle BI 11g on Windows Server 2008 R2 64bit:
Install RCU –> rcuHome\BIN\rcu.bat
Install JDK 64bit
Install Weblogic generic –> via the Command Line java -jar wls1033_generic.jar
Install Oracle BI11g –> ‘Software Only’
Run config.bat to configure Oracle BI11g –>C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_BI1\bin\config.bat
Of course you need to check the manual for additional info. Next to that you have to perform a ‘Software Only’ install on 32bit machine to be able to use your client tools.

OGh themabijeenkomst: Oracle BI 11g R1 (Dutch)
Gisteren heb ik een presentatie gehouden bij voor de Oracle gebruikersgroep Holland.
In een sessie van een kleine 2 uur heb ik mijn eerste ervaringen op het gebied van de nieuwe Oracle BI R1 release gedeeld met de aanwezigen. Het is géén marketing-show geworden, maar een eerlijke kijk van iemand die aan de slag gaat met een prduct, dat in een volledig nieuw jasje is gegoten. Uiteraard bekijk ik alles wel door een rode bril.
Aan de ene kant ben ik erg enthousiast over de vernieuwde en extra mogelijkheden van Oracle BI 11g. Tegelijkertijd kun je je ook afvragen of er een business case is voor alle nieuwe functionaliteiten. De tijd zal het leren.
Al met al heeft Oracle een product afgeleverd waar ik mijn energie de komende tijd prima in kwijt kan.

Oracle BI EE 11g R1 Launch Event
Today I attended the Oracle BI EE 11g R1 Launch Event in de Meern in Holland. This was an event with a life satellite connection to London where the official launch event was held. Back in London they think Amsterdam and de Meern is the same. The should walk between these two cities ;-).
The launch event was very well organized. Although we had to wait one or two times, all the presentations and demo’s both in London as well as here in Holland integrated seamlessly. Talking about integration, this is one of the keywords, when we are talking about Oracle BI.
Complete, Integrated and Open. That is the basis for the new Oracle BI solution Oracle is offering.

Demo Time
The moment we were all waiting for, was the moment we went under the hoods (kimono’s, kilts) of Oracle BI EE 11g R1. In Holland Nick Tusin and Mike Durran gave us a overview of what we can expect in this new release. The demo was divided into 4 parts;
- (R)-OLAP,
- (M)-OLAP,
- Mobile, Collaboration and Reporting & Publishing,
- Operational Management.
We have seen a lot of (new) improved things. As Mike has said afterwards, he could easily have filled a day of demoing. A few highlights in a complete arbitrary order:
- Oracle BI Answers and Dashboards
- Improved browser UI
- Hierarchy columns (groups / different levels)
- Graphical Sliders
- Geo Spatial Analysis
- Scorcarding and Strategy Management
