1. Introduction
This document contains guidelines for installation of Oracle Business Intelligence development
/ test environments. It is not full step by step manual, but rather it contains specific
configuration values or steps required to complete installation.

Additionally to this document, it is required to obtain official installation documentation from

Oracle. It is available at Oracle web site.

2. Installation steps
Installation of OBIEE contains number of tasks:
- Data Warehouse database creation,
- Installation of OBIEE infrastructure on Windows,
- Installation of BI Applications on Windows; this includes HR Analytics and
Informatica products,
- Installation of OBIEE infrastructure on Unix,
- Migrating BI Applications from Windows to Unix.

3. Data Warehouse database
