I’m going to show you how to create simple reports by using OBI 11g. As you already see that you manage the services of Oracle Business Intelligence from WebLogic Server. So first of all I login to WebLogic Server in order to start BI Services. But if you also need to start WebLogic Server, then you have to open a terminal, change the directory to the installation folder and run the batch: startweblogic.cmd
After starting the WebLogic Server (which will take a time), then I login to the WebLogic Server:
I navigate to Servers page from Home page and lock the configuration to start the BI Service in the domain. (I’m using a VMware image on my MAC, so it takes a bit time to start all services -- Oracle Database, WebLogic Server, BI Service). :)

I enter the user name and the password which I specified during the installation so after a successful login, I see the “Home” page of OBI 11g.
You’ll recognize that there some changes about the terminology at the first look. In the current version creating reports means creating analysis which was creating requests before in the previous version. Another difference is about iBots. Now they’re called “Agents” in the “Actionable Intelligence” section. And also there’s a new component about the Performance Management like Scorecards and KPI.
I’m planning to post articles about these great new features very soon.
