- Firstly install "7 zip" program.
- Then download virtual machine files from this link (download) . After downloading parts select all parts and right click. Then select "7 zip" menu and select "extract here" section.
- Kopy Image key file "VB Image Key File" same location to extracted parts.
- Install "Virtual box" program. Double click "Sampleapp_v107_GA" file and click import button.
- Depending on your network configuration and the option selected in the virtual box settings, you may need to configure the hosts file to point it to the correct IP address. Services will not start properly if the IPaddress is not correct. Please follow the steps below to configure the hosts file: Get the IP address of the image – For this, open a terminal window on the running image, and type the command /sbin/ifconfig. Note down the IP address under the heading “inet addr” (e.g.: inet addr:192.168.56.101) Navigate to folder /etc/hosts and edit the file so that the entry demo.us.oracle.com points to the correct IP address of your machine Save the file and proceed to starting service
- Sequence for service starting scripts
It is critical that the environment is brought up by starting scripts in the proper sequence as described below :
For information, the 11gR2 database is automatically started when the VM image boots up. There is no need to manually start a service to bring it up.
6.1 Start OID Services
On the desktop, double click on StartupScripts folder and select “1-startOID.sh” and choose „Run in Terminal‟ option. (/home/oracle/Desktop/StartupScripts). Wait until the terminal screens disappears, allow 5 seconds after that before you move on to starting the next services.
Note : if you start OID by using aliases, make sure you run both startOIDopmn and startOID aliases sequentially
6.2 Start WebLogic Server
On the desktop, double click on StartupScripts folder and select “2-startWLS.sh” and choose „Run in Terminal‟ option. (/home/oracle/Desktop/StartupScripts)
Wait for the message that shows "Server started in RUNNING mode". This indicates that WLS is up
Leave this terminal window open
6.3 Start OBIEE Services On the desktop, double click on StartupScripts folder and select “3-startBI.sh” and choose „Run in Terminal‟ option. (/home/oracle/Desktop/StartupScripts) Wait for the command to complete successfully. The terminal screen will disappear automatically. To check on status of services, you can open a terminal screen and simply type :
„statusOPMN‟. This will call an alias and will report the information as per the image on the right.
6.4 Start Essbase Services
NOTE : if you are running the virtual box with less than 3GB of allocated RAM, you should NOT start the essbase services as the performance of the image will suffer dramatically. Most of Samples will work outside of essbase examples, even without Essbase service up.
On the desktop, double click on StartupScripts folder and select “4-startESSB.sh” and choose „Run in Terminal‟ option. (/home/oracle/Desktop/StartupScripts)
Once finished, you can run /epm/Middleware/user_projects/epmsystem1/bin/opmnctl status to see the status.
Note : if you Start Essbase by using aliases, make sure you run both startESSB and startAPS aliases sequentially
