OBIEE 11.1.1.6.0 Repository Creation Utility Installation
Database Installation and Configuration:
If you installed database already on your machine, you can skip this section.
Before we start the installation of RCU (Repository Creation Utility), we need to choose which database we are going to use in our application. This tutorial shows how to run a RCU in Oracle database of a local machine. It is good to install Oracle Database enterprise or standard edition to take full advantage of database for datatypes like spatial data and features like OLAP.

Prerequisites:
These are the installation steps of RCU in Windows 32 bit Operating system. The following steps are same for Windows 64 bit Operating System.
• Minimum of 4GB RAM required

• Minimum of 10GB hard disk memory is required
• Do not use any directory name with space while installing/working with Oracle
Database 11g and Oracle BI11g.
Installing RCU:
BI 11g is now standardized with Oracle fusion middleware and hence leverage database for metadata storage just like any other middleware product. So here we are going to install BI11g metadata schema on oracle database you just installed and configured. Same process can be leveraged to install metadata schema on other supported databases as well.
If you have not done already, please download BI11g installation files and RCU installation files. Please make sure all the zipped files have downloaded correctly and unzipped into a single folder.

Installation steps of metadata schema using RCU.
1) From the unzipped folder of RCU, run rcu.bat file to start the utility:
1) From the unzipped folder of RCU, run rcu.bat file to start the utility:
rcu.bat file is located at C:\Setup\rcuHome\BIN directory
2) RCU utility will launch the GUI based wizard to guide you through the steps. Click Next to continue.
3) Select Create from the below screen and click Next.

4) In the steps, make sure database type is Oracle Database and enter following information to continue.
For e.g:
Host Name: localhost
Port: 1521
Service Name: XE
Username: sys
Role: sysdba
Password: oracle
For e.g:
Host Name: localhost
Port: 1521
Service Name: XE
Username: sys
Role: sysdba
Password: oracle
5) Since we are using oracle database, RCU will show a warning message that we can just ignore and can continue the installation.
6) Click OK to continue once RCU validates and initializes database configuration.
7) In the next step it will ask for the prefix to create the metadata schemas. By default it is showing 'DEV'. If we want to change the prefix we can change it.
From the below window select appropriate schemas which we need to install.
Here we have selected only two which is showing in the screenshot

8) Click Next from the above screen to create schema and the click OK once RCU shows schema creation prerequisites check completed.
9) In the next step Enter password for both the schemas which sets with the password condition such as alphabet, numeric and with special character and click Next to continue.
10) Click Next with the above step to have RCU create the selected schemas
11) Click OK to continue creation of tablespace.
12) Once tablespace are created, click OK to continue.
13) RCU will create required schema objects within the tablespace just created. So Click Create with next step and continue.
14) Click Close to finish RCU wizard once schemas are created successfully.
With the above step the installation of RCU is completed
Note:Remember the password which we have given for all the users/schemas so far and we will continue to use the same password. We will need this password for BI installation as well to let BI installer knows where the metadata schemas located and what is the password to connect to the schema. Now we can login to the oracle database and can whether that two schems (DEV_BIPLATFORM, DEV_MDS) is available.
