Much awaited OBIEE 12c is now available for general purpose use. Here in this post I will try to explain installation on windows 7 step by step.
FYI: My folders paths and ports are not pointing to defaults, if you copy paste they may not work in your environment, you have to relatively wherever applicable.
Installation has 3 phases
1) Pre-installation :Download installers
a) If you have java8 then you are good otherwise download from here
b) Download WebLogic 12 , if you don't have already from here
3) Running configuration
Installation phase
once you downloaded just execute the executable file.
b) Download and install Weblogic (if you have already weblogic 12.2.1 then ignore this section).
