15 Steps To Configure Oracle BI Apps 11.1.1.7.1

by Ashwin Pujari

With the release of the new version of Oracle’s BI Applications, we’ve published some introductory articles such as ‘Under The Hood Of The New Oracle BI Apps‘ and ‘The ALL-NEW Oracle BI Apps… now with ODI (11.1.1.7.1)‘.   I thought I would take a deeper look into the steps involved with configuring this new version of the BI Apps.  

Configuring Oracle BI Applications 11.1.1.7.1

Step 1

Start the configuration Utility by running the command <BI Oracle Home>/bin /configApps.bat to extend the BI Domain to deploy Oracle BI Applications to configure the components.
