Only the following components are available under Linux:
The repository (.rpd) file can be created and modified only using the Oracle Business Intelligence Administration Tool, which is available only for Windows operating systems.
Choose a user ID that can run all Oracle Business Intelligence processes. You may need to contact your UNIX Administrator to create this user ID. You cannot install Oracle Business Intelligence as the user root
The installation script’s default installation directories are /usr/local/OracleBI and /usr/local/OracleBIData

The OBIEE install guide suggests to place the database variable in the shell script OracleBI_Home/setup/user.sh (Locating the Database Setup Script Under UNIX - p126).
You can also in this script seen a lot of code to set environment variable for all others Unix plateform.
You must use bash (Bourne-Again Shell) when running Oracle BI scripts under Linux systems.
[root@oel11g dev]# echo $SHELL/bin/bash
UnixChk.sh is a script for UNIX-based installations (including Linux). In order to make sure that the installation machine has all the necessary requirements for a successful installation, run this UNIX check script to check the prerequisites. The script is lightweight and easy to use, and checks for the following conditions:
The UnixChk.sh script is installed in the installer directory containing setup.sh and setup.jar.
Example:
[obi@oel11g Oracle_Business_Intelligence]$ ./UnixChk.sh --helpUsage: UnixChk.sh [-b] [-s | <Oracle_BI_install_dir>] -b Check build requirements in addition to runtime requirements -s Skip installation directory checks? If neither -s nor <OracleBI_install_dir> are specified, this script assumes <OracleBI_install_dir> = /usr/local/OracleBI
[obi@oel11g Oracle_Business_Intelligence]$ ./UnixChk.sh -b /usr/local/OracleBI SUCCESS!! - This machine is configured for Oracle BI EE 10.1.3.3.2
If you plan to install the Oracle BI Server and Oracle BI Presentation Services on two separate machines, read this article before selecting the component that you want : Installing Oracle BI Components on Different Machines
As the Java Development Kit 1.5.0 or greater installation location and all its files and subdirectories must have the writable user or user group permissions for the user installing Oracle Business Intelligence, run the following as root:
chmod -R 777 /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_22

Allocate enough memory in Oracle Containers for Java (OC4J) for running Oracle BI Publisher.
To allocate additional memory for OC4J:
OracleBI_HOME/oc4j_bi/bin/oc4j -stop
Allocate a minimum of 256 MB of memory by increasing the permanent generation memory to 128m in addition to the regular heap size.
set JVMARGS=-Djava.library.path=D:\OracleBI\server\Bin;D:\OracleBI\web\bin -DSAROOTDIR=D:\OracleBI -DSADATADIR=D:\OracleBIData %OC4J_JVM_ARGS%
-XX:MaxPermSize=128m -Xmx512m
Oracle BI uses shell scripts located in the directory OracleBI_HOME/setup to set environment variables and run specific component shell commands.
The main administration scripts (scripts which call other scripts) are:
The scripts details are listed on this page: Scripts for Korn, Bourne, or Bash Shells.
Under Linux, no initialization process is necessary.
The order in which the services are stopped, then restarted, is important. Use the following sequence to start the OBI Component:Then to start, launch the script in this order
oc4j startrun-sa.sh startrun-saw.sh startrun-ccs.sh start
And to stop:
run-ccs.sh stoprun-saw.sh stoprun-sa.sh stopoc4j -shutdown -port 23791 -password oc4jadmin
To test the Oracle BI Client :
.sa-cli.sh
To test the client/server connectivity, run the command:
nqcmd
This issue applies to Versions 10.1.3.3, 10.1.3.3.1, 10.1.3.3.2, 10.1.3.3.3, 10.1.3.4, and 10.1.3.4.1.
There is a bug in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 5.0 version 1_5_0_7 that impacts the performance of Oracle BI Publisher. For better performance, upgrade to JDK 5.0 update 11 (1_5_0_11). Download and install this update from the following location:
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp
After installing the JDK update, you must modify the OC4J start-up script or batch file to point to the new JDK location.
To modify the OC4J start-up script:
If you installed Oracle BI Presentation Services using the Basic Install option on the machine where JDK has been updated, then you must modify the instanceconfig.xml file to point to the new JDK location:
To modify the instanceconfig.xml file:
