I got my vm server going and eventually, with your help, my sample OBI environment. I'm coming from Brio, not 10g OBI so I'm having a bit of a rude awakening as to where our license is leading us...but enjoying the ride. Thanks for the stop order. When I go to the provided links on WLS and EM, there's no login ID/PW option - just the bluish screen. Did you confront this? Hi Alex: thanks again.

The shutdown sequence is of less importance but it is recommended to follow the reverse order in executing scripts found in [StartupScripts] folder: 1- [stopBI.sh], 2 - [stopWLS.sh] 3- [stopOID.sh] If you've started Essbase and Oracle database - you can shut then down by running scripts [stopESSB.sh] and [stopDB.sh], correspondingly. Hope this helps! No, I did not… The shutdown sequence is of less importance but it is recommended to follow the reverse order in executing scripts found in [StartupScripts] folder:

I am starting on my journey with OBIEE now. I work for an firm that will remain unnamed. We have an OBIEE license but are stuck on a 'to be phased out' release and I'm not having luck politically installing the current software getting the resources allowed to me. Also, being a bit shy on vmware installations, I'm hoping over the next few days I'll be able to follow your instructions/experiences to load up, check out and learn about OBIEE on my own Wintel workstation!

Despite style differences between the organizations there are components that always are present and ideally supporting full traceability: 1. Requirements management (this applies both to development and integration) 2. Software architecture 3. Code management (including source code management, IDE integration, code qulity - static analysis, standards compliance, code reviews, coverage analysis, unit tests etc) 4. Test management (functional testing, load/performance testing etc.) 5. Build management (continuous integration, test automation) 6. Defect/Issue management (incorporates issues reported by testers, customers, developers; change management etc) 7. Software configuration management 8. Release and Deployment management of course, there are many more dependencies - training (both user and customer), HR, Project management...

I mean: surely several aspects of a complex system should be taken into account: the human factors, the technological components (which are what I'm interested on, currently), the managerial policies, and some others. What do you see? What elements do you think should be comprised in such an ecosystem?
