Apps as the Source Application (Direct ETL).
1. DEV Machine (A): BI Apps11g Installed with OBIEE 11.1.1.x and ODI 11.1.1.x.
3. Customer moves the BI Apps artifacts (I.e. RPD, Webcat, and JZAN-security) from Machine (A) using the BI
Migration Tool (bi-migration-tool.jar) and then importing it in to the 12c system Machine (B)
Pre-Requisites
Oracle BI Applications 11.1.1.9.2 or 11.1.1.10.1 with Oracle BI EE 11.1.1.7 or later on Machine (A)
Ensure your Oracle BI EE 11.1.1.7 or later Catalog on Machine (A) Is Upgraded to the Correct Version of
Please refer (Doc ID 2068965.1) for details.
Customer should have installed Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure (Weblogic) on Machine (B)
Before you install Fusion Middleware (Weblogic), you also need to download and install JDK 8 on
Machine (B),
Use this screen to select the type of installation and consequently, the products and feature sets you want
to install.
For this topology, select BI Platform Distribution with Samples. Click Next
To start the RCU run the rcu (or rcu.bat for windows) from the <obiee_home>/oracle_common/bin
directory:
Use this screen to select the action you want to perform Create Repository or Drop Repository
Some prerequisite checks will then be performed, essentially just checking that the database is connecting
correctly.
Note: Incase if you’re using the same database where the OBIEE 11g repository schema resides, then use a
different schema prefix for OBIEE 12c.
The RCU will them perform some more prerequisite checks to ensure it can continue…
Review the information on the Summary screen, and click Create to begin schema creation. The
operations summarized on this page will be performed when you click Create.
While the schemas are being created, you will see the following progress screen:
So far we just completed the OBIEE 12c software installed as per the instructions in “Installing Oracle Business
Intelligence” and created Oracle® Fusion Middleware schemas as per the instructions in Creating Schemas with the
Repository Creation Utility.
<12cInstall>/bi/migration-tool/jlib/bi-migration-tool.jar

Linux Command:
Windows Command:
Note: Make sure to replace these file paths with the respective paths on your system.
Copy over the 11g BI Export Bundle.jar file from Machine (A) to 12c Machine (B).
Importing the Export Bundle Using the BI 12c Configuration Assistant cd Oracle_home\bi\bin
On the Define New Domain screen, specify the following, and click Next
On the Port Range screen, specify the port range and click Next.
When you select this option, you are prompted with a dialog box to select the export bundle that you

Summary:
OBIA 11.1.1.9.2 and 11.1.1.10.1 is certified for use with OBIEE 12c however ODI 11g will need to be in its
own ORACLE_HOME different Machine from OBIEE 12c ORACLE_HOME until ODI 12c is certified with OBIA.
2. How can we configure BIAPPS offerings (financials) and load plans? There is no mention of the BIACM
URL in the document sent.
Same as earlier, Use BIACM URL from the original node. That does not change.
3. Do we have to use both the weblogic instances in order to maintain OBIEE12c and BIAPPS
11.1.1.10.2?
Weblogic server will need to run on both instances. Weblogic on OBIEE12c is used by BI Server on that
node.
4. Can we have two weblogics in the same machine for OBIEE 12c and BIAPPS 11.1.1.10.2(weblogic 11
and weblogic 12)?
Please check the Weblogic documentation to see if that is supported. The document talks of a dual head
approach only.
6. We have not configured security provider yet for the BI Apps, do we still have to migrate the security
jazn file?
We have migrated 11g OBIEE to 12c and it migrates RPD, System Jazn and Webcat. Yes, customer has to
migrate System Jazn.
