Don't miss the installation integration checkpoint!
It is important to know that Oracle BI Publisher 12c is provided in the core Oracle BI 12c installation. During the installation process, you are able to choose to install, or not to install, one or all of the three Oracle BI software suites--Oracle BI Enterprise Edition, Oracle BI Publisher, and Oracle Real-Time Decisions. All suites are selected to be installed by default. Toggling one or more of the options will determine the software that gets installed, but it also determines the default integration between these software items. By keeping Oracle BI and Oracle BI Publisher selected, the security integration with Fusion Middleware Security and other integration configurations are set during the installation. You cannot go back at a later time to modify this installation configuration. Any post-install integration would be a manual effort.
With that said, those previously exposed to BI Publisher will appreciate that...
