For a full list of system requirements, hardware, software, operating systems, and so on, see the following guide: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/fusion-certification-100350.html.
Here's a quick checklist of items before you get started installing and configuring OBIEE:
- Has the RCU been run to create the OBIEE 12c required database repositories?
- Is the database running?
- Do you have sufficient privileges to install the software (such as administrator privileges on the machine)?
- Have you downloaded the correct operating-system binary files for OBIEE 12c?
- Is your machine using DHCP or does it have a static IP address?
Note
The instructions in this chapter are for a static IP. If you are using DHCP, you'll need to install a Loopback Adapter. For instructions on installing the Loopback Adapter, see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc708322(WS.10).aspx.
During installation on a Windows OS, it is best practice to use the command prompt to access the folder structure and executable files for each part of the installation and configuration. Be sure to use the right-click function to execute the executable files using the Run as administrator option.
