Figure 5: Providing the Location of the Database Export Files
Once you have entered these details, creation of the relevant tablespaces and schemas along with importing of the schemas' database objects, usually takes around fifteen minutes or so. Once complete, you are now ready to install the Oracle Business Intelligence Applications software.
5. To unzip the installer files for Oracle Business Intelligence Applications and then run the installer, run the following from the Windows Command Prompt:
unzip Bus_Analytics_Apps_Suite_Installer_11.1.1.7.1.zip
cd biappsshiphomeDisk1
setup.exe -jreLoc c:MiddlewareOracle_BI1jdk
At the Specify Installation Location dialog, select the existing middleware home (c:middleware), and change the Oracle Home Directory value from the default Oracle_BI2 back to the existing one used by the previous Oracle Business Intelligence install, Oracle_BI1. Once done, press Install to start the installation process.
6. The previous step installed the Oracle Business Intelligence Applications software, and now you need to apply various patches to it and the other components you installed earlier on. Oracle have supplied a script that uses the 7-zip archive utility you downloaded earlier on to apply the patches, and this script uses a parameter file that allows you to specify where the patch files are located. Before you start the patching process though, shut down all of your BI-related products by selecting Start > All Programs > Oracle Business Intelligence > Stop BI Services, and use the Windows Services applet to stop the Node Manager and Oracle Process Manager services, if they are running.
To prepare the parameter file for the patching utility, use a text editor such as WordPad or Notepad to edit the c:MiddlewareOracle_BI1 oolsinapply_patches_import.txt file, and edit the entries so that they read as follows:
