SAP BO and DS with Oracle Database Part 2 Installing Oracle Client

BO - Business Objects

DS - Data Services

Before starting to install BODS we have install the Oracle Client Software on the machine where BO and DS are going to be installed. Since my implementation was on SUSE Linux I downloaded Oracle Client for Linux and installed it.
The below screenshots will give a overview of the installation process.

With this we are done with the Oracle Client Installation that is required for BO DS Installation.

Everybody should be aware of the need to store data on to a database. But when it comes to choosing the database it is always Oracle who wins at Corporate Companies. I have made a BO and DS implementation with Oracle Database running at the back end.

To start with the BO and DS implementation first a database has to be installed. I choose HP Itanium server for the database and SUSE 11 for the BO Server. There are very less implementation of SAP BO and DS on linux environment so I decided to work with linux platforms instead of Windows.

Installing Oracle Database

This is the fun part and I am not going into detailed level as there are many references where the installation are covered. After installing the Oracle home invoke DBCA and install a health database for the repository. Additional databases has to be installed for all the necessary supporting objects , example a data warehouse database.
