OBIEE 11G RCU INSTALLATION

OBIEE 11g RCU Install

Weblogic is a Java EE Platform that can be scaled allowing close management of where and how components are run.  But the configuration necessary must be stored somewhere and that is where the RCU (Repository Creation Utility) comes in.
This article will take you through the installation and configuration steps of the RCU in reference to supporting the BI Platform component.  In this example we were installing on an Oracle Express (XE) database.  During installation an error is thrown informing us that the RCU is not compatible with this database; this is the case with some components, but not with BI Platform - this error is not relevant.  However, if you aim to install OBIA 7.9.6.3 using the same database you should be aware that features required by the warehouse schema are not supported and this should be hosted on an Oracle 11g Enterprise Edition database.
Part 1: Installation

Part II: Configuration
Navigate to the folder C:\RCU\bin and run the batch file RCU.bat.  The welcome screen below will be shown.  Click Next


We can choose to Create or to Drop a schema; we want to create a schema, the default; click Next.



Enter the database details and click Next.  For an Oracle DB you must use the SYS aacount.
