I recently completed a few new setups that required installation of BI-Query. It had probably been well over a year since I had last installed this, and I remembered the setup being a little complicated. Here are the steps for a successful setup.
1) Install Oracle for BI-Query. Run setup.exe from
T:\Oracle\DeveloperSuite10g\Oracle for Bi Query\Disk1.
2) Within the Oracle setup, the defaults should be fine. Be sure to select "Complete" for the installation type.
3) Copy the TNSNAMES.ORA file from the above path on the T: drive to the ..\NETWORK\ADMIN folder within the new Oracle installation.
4) Install Hummingbird BI-Query. Run setup.exe from
T:\Hummingbird\BI Query 9.02.
At the prompts, select English, BI-Query, Install BI-Query. The defaults should be fine for most of the options.
5) On the serial numbers and activation keys dialog, select "BI-Query User" only and copy-paste the serial number and activation key from the file wou_readme.txt from
T:\Hummingbird\BI Query 9.02.
This completes the installation of the software. I don't have permissions to connect BI-Query to the database (data models) on the J: drive. The Banner programmers have permissions to complete this part of the setup.
