Introduction
Document Purpose
The purpose of this document is to outline the steps involved in building the OBIEE
11g environment.

Production build specifics

The below notes explain the main diferences with the DEV build document:
Note 1: All screenshots are based on the DEV build, therefore specific values
displayed in the screenshots do not apply to the production build
Note 2: No password is provided in this document and is presented as ****
Note 3: The major difference between DEV,SIT and PROD environment is the
OBIEE installation mode. In production the OBIEE is installed with the
Enterprise mode.

Server Side Build

Check .profile settings
The following should be set in oracle user .profile of the middleware tier:

EDITOR=vi ; export EDITOR

VISUAL=vi ; export VISUAL

Install Oracle Database Server

Install Oracle Server Enterprise Edition binaries to /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3

Create Database
Create a new database with the following:
Java enabled
AL32UTF8 character set
32k DB_BLOCK_SIZE
2G redo log size

(Oracle ApEx taking a long time to install dont select next time)

Use the template init11i.ora file to generate new spfile for the database and restart.

New parameters in the template:

_like_with_bind_as_equality=TRUE
_optimizer_autostats_job=FALSE
_sort_elimination_cost_ratio=5
_system_trig_enabled=TRUE
cursor_sharing=EXACT
db_block_checking=FALSE

shared_pool_size=419430400
statistics_level=typical
timed_statistics=TRUE
undo_management=AUTO
workarea_size_policy=AUTO
processes=750
sessions=1152
Optionally install Enterprise Manager Database Console if required.

Page 10 of 100

Configure tnsnames
Add entries to the tnsnames.ora file under $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin for all required
databases. Example tnsnames.ora entries:

REMEDY_PRD =
(DESCRIPTION =
(LOAD_BALANCE=ON)
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = crwsmrprd01)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = REMEDY_PRD.ARQIVA.LOCAL))
(FAILOVER_MODE=(TYPE=SELECT)(METHOD=BASIC))
)
11G_PROBI01 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(SOURCE_ROUTE = OFF)
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = umhtoraprd01)(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = PROBI01)
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
)
)
Missing EBS entry here

Configure and start listener

Configure and start listener. Example listener.ora:

LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = umhtoraprd01)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
)
)
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3)
(SID_NAME = PROBI01)
)

Install Informatica
Issues unzipping install kit on AIX. Workaround:

Unzip multi-part zip under Windows

Move infa_native_esd.jar out of 910HF2_Server_Installer_aix-ppc64\source directory.

Zip up 910HF2_Server_Installer_aix-ppc64.

Transfer 910HF2_Server_Installer_aix-ppc64.zip and infa_native_esd.jar to server.

Unzip 910HF2_Server_Installer_aix-ppc64.zip

Move infa_native_esd.jar back into 910HF2_Server_Installer_aix-ppc64/source directory.

Also, had to get license key from part V30964-01.

unset INFA_HOME

NB: If the database is on the same machine, use the database homes lib directory as below, if not
install a 64bit oracle client on the server and use that lib dir.

Set the following in .profile:

LIBPATH=/u01/app/oracle/product/Informatica/9.1.0/server/bin:/u01/app/oracle/product
/11.2.0.3/lib
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/lib

This install comes in multi-zipped, multi-part zip files and requires a utility such as WinZip to
handle this. The paths in these zip files can break the file name length limit so try to unzip into a
short named target directory such as C:\temp\infa.
