Description of Figure 3-1 follows

The Oracle Business Intelligence domain contains three main components: a WebLogic domain, Oracle Business Intelligence System Components, and a database. Each main component is represented in its own rectangle contained within the Oracle Business Intelligence Domain rectangle. The Database component rectangle contains only a database, however the WebLogic domain and Oracle Business Intelligence System Components rectangles contain several subcomponents each.

Oracle Business Intelligence Directory Structure

A typical Oracle Business Intelligence installation consists of a Fusion Middleware home and the following subdirectories:

  • wlserver_10.3: The WebLogic Server home, which contains Java components, one Administration Server, and one or more Managed Servers.

  • oracle_home: The Oracle Home contains binary and library files for Oracle BI.

  • oracle_common: The Oracle Common Home contains the binary and library files required for Fusion Middleware Control and Java Required Files (JRF). There can be only one Oracle Common home within each Middleware home.

Typical Oracle Business Intelligence Directory Structure on a Single host with default values. At the top of the directory structure is the Middleware Home, which contains the Product Oracle Home, the Oracle Common Home, and the WebLogic Home. Notice the domains and instance directories are de-coupled from the MW_HOME and ORACLE_HOME.
