This chapter describes new features, concepts, and terminology for Oracle Business Intelligence 11g Release 1 (11.1.1).
Oracle Business Intelligence 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.5) includes many new features, including those related to installation:
The ability to install software updates for the Oracle Business Intelligence 11g Installer, as part of the Oracle Business Intelligence installation process. This includes the option to download and install updates through your My Oracle Support account (if one exists), install updates previously downloaded to a local directory, or skip software updates altogether.
Key optimizations for the Simple Install type. With the Simple Install type, all architectural components are installed except Node Manager and the Managed Server. Furthermore, the components that are typically hosted and executed by the Managed Server are instead hosted and executed by the Administration Server. These optimizations reduce the memory footprint and complexity of Oracle Business Intelligence, and are especially targeted for demonstration, evaluation, and proof of concept use cases.
A separate, standalone installer for the Oracle Business Intelligence client tools (Oracle Business Intelligence Administration Tool and Job Manager). The Oracle Business Intelligence client tools installer is provided for organizations that install Oracle Business Intelligence on computers running a UNIX operating system, or that install Oracle Business Intelligence on computers running 32- or 64-bit Windows operating system but want to use the client tools on other computers. The installer significantly simplifies the installation, uninstallation, and configuration for the Oracle Business Intelligence client tools. It is supported on computers running 32- and 64-bit Windows operating systems only.
Support for existing Metadata Services (MDS) schemas. The MDS schema provides a unified metadata store for Oracle Fusion Middleware products and components, such as Oracle Business Intelligence. Customers can integrate an Oracle Business Intelligence installation with an existing MDS schema instance (that is, one that was previously created). This includes integrating an Oracle Business Intelligence installation with an MDS schema instance that is physically and logically separate from a Business Intelligence Platform (BIPLATFORM) schema instance, which is the other schema required by Oracle Business Intelligence.
Oracle Business Intelligence 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3) includes many new features, including those related to installation:
Oracle Business Intelligence 11g Installer is used for installation tasks. Oracle Business Intelligence 11g Installer replaces the installer that was used in previous versions of Oracle Business Intelligence. See Chapter 1, "Installation Overview." Oracle Business Intelligence 11g Installer includes online help for each installation screen.
Oracle Business Intelligence 11g Installer is used to seamlessly install and configure all Oracle Business Intelligence products, such as Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition, Oracle Real-Time Decisions, and Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher.
Oracle Business Intelligence 11g Installer provides the flexibility to perform software installation and configuration steps in the same process or separately in their own processes.
Oracle WebLogic Server replaces Oracle Application Server and Oracle Containers for Java (OC4J), which were used in previous Oracle Business Intelligence releases. WebLogic Server also handles the Java components and provides many of the administrative services formerly provided by Oracle Business Intelligence services in previous releases.
In addition to the Oracle Business Intelligence command-line utilities from earlier releases, this release uses the following command-line utilities:
Oracle WebLogic Server scripting tool (WLST) for managing the Oracle WebLogic Server domain.
OPMN and the opmnctl commands for the Oracle Process Manager and Notification Server.
For more information on these command-line utilities, see "Getting Started Using Command-Line Tools" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide.
There are many new concepts in Oracle Business Intelligence 11g Release 1, and other concepts whose meanings have changed since the 10g release. For a detailed description of these concepts, see "Understanding Oracle Fusion Middleware Concepts" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide. You may also refer to the "Glossary" in other Oracle Business Intelligence guides, such as in Oracle Fusion Middleware System Administrator's Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition.
Additional topics may be of interest to those installing and upgrading Oracle Business Intelligence. These topics are covered in other guides and shown in the following list by general topic and titles of books to consult for more information.
