This chapter will serve to provide step-by-step instructions for installing Oracle BI 12c (release 12.2.1 at the time of writing) on Windows Server 2012.
We have assumed that most readers will have skills around, and have access to, a Microsoft Windows environment, which is why the Windows operating system was chosen for this book. Chapter 14 , Ancillary Installation Options, will highlight some advanced installation options, including Linux-based installations, and some post-upgrade options you may find of interest once you have worked through this chapter's first-time installation.
This chapter will walk you through the standard installation of Oracle BI 12c, which is the Single Enterprise installation that contains an Administration Server and a Managed Server. Don't worry about the terminology; basically, this is the only way 12c is installed, and this will allow you to work/play with all the features seen in a production Oracle BI 12c environment.
The Oracle Fusion Middleware GUI installation wizard is the default interface for Oracle BI 12c installation and provides a consistent installation experience regardless of the operating system, so the steps will be the same even if you are installing on Linux.
Let's get started!
