Once the Oracle database and OWB have been successfully installed the below setup steps must be completed.
The BIApplication.properties and BIBootstrap.properties files need to be created in ..\Reporting\project\properties. These files will contain the database connection details and other variables. Please refer to Appendix N for security details
BIApplication.propertiessampleora and BIBootstrap.propertiessampleora have been provided for guidance. They can be found in..\Reporting\project\properties. These files can be copied and renamed as BIApplication.properties and BIBootstrap.properties as a start point. They must be kept in the same folder. Please refer to Appendix A and B for more information when setting the properties and following the below steps.
The BIApplication.properties, BIBootstrap.properties and Environment Variables setup depends on which type of configuration option you have chosen, i.e. OWB Client present on Oracle server or no OWB client on Oracle server. However there are a number of common steps which are outlined first.
Note: For each of the Reporting build tasks the equivalent manual steps that could be used are outlined; these may be useful if any of the build targets do not run successfully due to environment configuration issues.
