OBIEE and ODI 12c Silent Installations : First Steps

 

The company I work for is in the process of moving some core systems to Oracle Cloud Apps. As part of that process the folks who do the warehousing, BI and reporting stuff are transitioning from a bunch of SAP tools to ODI, OBIEE, OBIA etc. I am not part of either the old or new projects related to this work, but it does seem I am going to have to get involved in some of the infrastructure side of it, namely installations and basic “turn it off and on again” type support. I will never actual use this stuff. 🙂

I don’t like surprises, so I’ve spent some time recently playing with some of this stuff from an infrastructure perspective. I’ve been building, destroying and rebuilding this stuff repeatedly, trying to figure out how some of it hangs together and some of the pain points. That resulted in these articles.

There may be some more to follow, but they could be for older bits of kit, depending on the certification status of the various pieces when used against Oracle Cloud Apps.

I can’t emphasise enough how little I know about this stuff. I understand databases and I know a bit about WebLogic. As a result I can muddle my way through some installations of this OBIEE and ODI stuff. That is about it. 🙂

PS. If you are wondering about the image, it’s a stupid cow. It represents how clueless I am about this stuff, as well as how amusing I find it that we are transitioning to these tools just as the rest of the world is transitioning away from them. 🙂

  1. Hi Tim- In your post script, are you referring to the world transitioning away from ODI & OBIEE?

  2. MuKund : Yes. Most of the BI focused people I speak to are moving away from this tech and onto the Hadoop ecosystem amongst other things.

    Cheers
