Preface

Installing the WebLogic Server


Now that Java Development Kit and JRE are installed, we can use this to install the Fusion Middleware software, that is, the WebLogic Server:

  1. Open a cmd window.

  2. Change directory (cd) to the obiee_downloads folder.

  3. Enter the following command:

    C:Javajdk1.8.0_74binjava.exe -jar
    fmw_12.2.1.0.0_infrastructure.jar
    

  4. Follow the on-screen instructions:

    1. Click on Next.

    2. I have chosen to Skip Auto Updates, but you can link to your support account.

    3. Change the directory where the Oracle Home will be installed. We are not planning to share this Fusion Middleware with any other software, so I have called ours C:fmw_obieeOracle_home. Write down this location, because we will need it later for the OBIEE installation. I have chosen to install in the C:fmw_obieeOracle_home folder. This is because my C: drive is a Solid-State Drive (SSD). You can choose any drive, but try to use an SSD so that you make your system as fast as possible:

      Tip

      Do not include spaces in the name of your Oracle_home...
