OBIEE 11g Installation- RCU (Repository Creation Utility)- Schema Installation
Finally after installing OBIEE 11g successfully a number of times I got a chance to document and create a run-book that I can share. In this article I am covering creation of certain schemas in the database which are required to install and configure OBIEE 11g R1. A utility provide by Oracle called Repository Creation Utility (RCU) is used to create these schemas required by OBIEE 11g.
My Machine has the following configuration:
Intel Core Duo 2.2 GHz / 3GB / Windows 2003 R2 EE
RCU Installation Files are available here.
System Requirements and Specifications are available here.
One Important step is to install Microsoft Loopback adapter with static IP as described here.
Once Microsoft Loopback adapter is installed go to My Network Places and choose Properties. This displays the Network Connections Control Panel.
Right-click on the network connection that was just created and to properties. In General tab select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP and click on Properties. Click use the following IP address in the IP Address field enter a non-routable IP for the loopback adapter (I used 10.10.10.10).
In Subnet mask: enter 255.255.255.0 Leave other field at their default values. Click OK. It is a good point to restart your PC.
