Deploy Oracle Analytics Server 2026 for
Oracle Enterprise Manager 13.5 on Windows Server 2025
Donatien
Mbadi Oum, Database Expert
Introduction
Beginning on Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control
13c Release 5, embedded BI Publisher reporting functionality is no longer
available from Enterprise Manager Console.
So, if you want to use BI Publisher reporting
functionality, you will deploy a standalone Database Instance for Oracle
Analytics Server (OAS).
Standard Topology
This topology represents a standard WebLogic Server
domain that contains an Administration Server and a cluster that contains a
Managed Server.
The standard installation topology typically includes
common elements.
The below table describes all elements of the topology
illustration:
|
Element |
Description |
|
APPHOST |
A standard term
used to refer to the machine that hosts the application tier. |
|
DBHOST |
A standard term
used to refer to the machine that hosts the database. |
|
WebLogic Domain |
A logically
related group of Java components (in this case, the Administration Server,
Managed Servers, and other related software components) and non-Java
components. |
|
Administration Server |
Central control
entity of a WebLogic domain. It maintains configuration objects for that
domain and distributes configuration changes to Managed Servers. |
|
Enterprise Manager |
The Oracle
Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control is a primary tool used to manage
a domain. |
|
Cluster |
A collection of
multiple WebLogic Server instances running simultaneously and working
together. |
|
Machine |
A logical
representation of the computer that hosts one or more WebLogic Server
instances (servers). Machines are also the logical glue between the Managed
Servers and the Node Manager. In order to start or stop the Managed Servers
using the Node Manager, associate the Managed Servers with a machine. |
|
Managed Server |
A host for your
applications, application components, web services, and their associated
resources. |
|
Infrastructure |
A collection of
services that include the following:

Upload Enterprise
Manager Defaults Reports to OAS
We will download the default reports from the OEM 13cR5, then upload
them to OAS using the GUI console.
The base framework reports are bundled in this file:
$OMS_HOME\sysman\jlib\’Enterprise Manager Cloud Control.xdrz’
The Plugins deployed on your OEM may have also deployed their own
reports. For each plugin, the reports are bundled in a file with the same name
(‘Enterprise Manager Cloud Control.xdrz’).
Go to $OMS_HOME\plugins\
Each file is located on
oracle.sysman.*.plugin_13.5.1.0.0\metadata\bipublisherreport\emreports\*.xdrz
Your list may vary depending on how many plugins you have deployed.
To ease the process, create the following directory structure on the OMS
host, in the “\tmp” directory:
cd L\tmp; md reports; cd reports
Make a subdirectory for the base framework reports, and one for each of
the plugin reports (use the plugin abbreviation from the list above, after
‘oracle.sysman.’ on each line)
md base cfw db emas xa
Copy the base EM framework reports bundle, which is located at $OMS_HOME\sysman\jlib\’Enterprise
Manager Cloud Control.xdrz’:
cp $OMS_HOME\sysman\jlib\*.xdrz \tmp\reports\base
Copy the plugin reports. Note the list below depends on which plugins
you have deployed on your installation of OEM:
cd $OMS_HOME\plugins\
cp oracle.sysman.cfw.oms.plugin_13*\metadata\bipublisherreport\emreports\*.xdrz
\tmp\reports\cfw
cp oracle.sysman.db.oms.plugin_13*\metadata\bipublisherreport\emreports\*.xdrz \tmp\reports\db
cp oracle.sysman.emas.oms.plugin_13*\metadata\bipublisherreport\emreports\*.xdrz
\tmp\reports\emas
cp oracle.sysman.xa.oms.plugin_13*\metadata\bipublisherreport\emreports\*.xdrz \tmp\reports\xa
When done, each folder will contain exactly one file, with the same name
“Enterprise Manager Cloud Control.xdrz”.
cd \tmp; ls -R \tmp\reports
\tmp\reports:
base cfw db emas xa
\tmp\reports\base:
‘Enterprise Manager Cloud Control.xdrz’
\tmp\reports\cfw:
‘Enterprise Manager Cloud Control.xdrz’
\tmp\reports\db:
‘Enterprise Manager Cloud Control.xdrz’
\tmp\reports\emas:
‘Enterprise Manager Cloud Control.xdrz’
\tmp\reports\xa:
‘Enterprise Manager Cloud Control.xdrz’
Copy the reports directory to OAS Server.
Upload Oracle Provided Out-of-box Reports to the
Standalone OAS
Login to OAS console as a user with OAS Administrator privileges
(SYSMAN):
- Click
on “Catalog”. Make sure “Shared Folders” is highlighted.
- Click
on the “Upload Resource” icon just above the navigation bar.
- Click
“Choose File” and select the reports file to upload. Start with the
base framework (under reports/base).
- Check
“Overwrite Existing file” and click “Upload”.
Repeat steps 3 –4 for the other
plugins. Ensure you check “Overwrite Existing file” each time.
-
When done, click the “Refresh” icon. You should see
the uploaded reports.

reinstall the software again later. Following the procedures in this section
ensures that the software is properly removed.
- Removing
Your Database Schemas
Before you remove the
Oracle home, Oracle recommends that you run the Repository Creation Utility
(RCU) to remove database schemas associated with this domain.
-
Go to ORACLE_HOME\oracle_common\bin
-
set JAVA_HOME=C:\Java\jdk-17.0.19
-
Choose Drop Repository
-
select Database type as Oracle
Database and provide the other required parameters.
Click Ok
Before clicking on Next,
lock all the DEV users account and restart the Database.
