OBIEE on Apache Tomcat Server

2. PREPARED BY RAVI KUMAR LANKE Page 2
Normally if we install OBIEE it will run on "OC4J"Application Server , but i want to run my analytics file to run on Apache Tomcat
Server
Prerequisites : Apache Tomcat Server 4 and above
Here is the link to download tomcat server : click on Windows service installer (under Core category).I used Tomcat 5.5,download it
and install .Start the service
http://tomcat.apache.org/download-55.cgi
I will explain in two parts
Part1 : Deploying Analytics.war file (BI Answers,Dashboards,BI Delivers)
Part2 : Deploying XMLPSERVER.war file (BI Publisher)
Deploying Analytics.war file:
Step1 : Stop your Tomcat Server(if it's already started mode)
Step2 : Take a copy of anlaytics.war file from following location
"OracleBIoc4j_bij2eehomeapplicationsanalytics"
Step3 : Paste it under webapps folder of Apache server installed driver
C:Program FilesApache Software FoundationTomcat 5.5webapps
Step4: I had taken Myanaltyics.war
Create a folder called Myanalytics/your_name,paste your analytics.war file into this newly created folder
Open your command prompt: Goto your newly created folder structure
Enter the following command: Jar –xvf Myanalytics.war

Next ,Start your Tomcat Server
Start Menu-->All Pograms-->Apache Tomcat 5.5--->Welcome
Click on Tomcat Manger -->It may ask username and password you need to give right credentials (if u specify at installation of
apache)
Under the Application 's you will see "/MyAnalytics"
Click on Myanalytics it will take you to our Normal OBIEE Login screen
Create your reports and dashboard all will work same as before

Part2 : Deploying XMLPSERVER.war file
Follow the same steps as above but , now take xmlpserver.war file at (C:OracleBIoc4j_bij2eehomeapplicationsxmlpserver)
location
Repeat the steps 1,2,3 from part1 but with xmlpserver.war file
When you start the services and go to tomcat welcome page it will show xmlpserver...click on that
Wait...before doing that we need to change file path xmlp-server-config.xml file
located at
C:Program FilesApache Software FoundationTomcat 5.5webappsxmlpserverWEB-INF
{file path="C:OracleBIxmlpXMLP"/}
point the path to obiee installed xmlp folder
Restart the server,BI Publisher will run on tomcat as Dashboards
URL's in my case
BIPublisher : http://127.0.0.1:1234/xmlpserver/
Dashboards : http://127.0.0.1:1234/Myanalytics/saw.dll?Dashboard/
