For information on Oracle VM, see Support Notes464756.1 and 464754.1 also available on My Oracle Support.Oracle Business Intelligence Applications leverages Informatica software to perform the dataintegration between source systems and the Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse. This software isdeveloped by Informatica. Informatica’s support policy for virtualized environments is stated below:System Requirements and Supported Platforms for Oracle BusinessIntelligence Applications Version 7.9.6, Rev. J11
Platform Requirements for Oracle Business Intelligence Applications n Client andServer Environment RequirementsSupport ImpactInformatica supports Informatica products on supported operating systems, irrespective of whetherthey are deployed under a virtual environment.Given that virtualization software supports a limited set of certified operating systems and hardwareplatforms, the customer is responsible for configuring the virtual machine and applications for usein this environment. In deploying Informatica in this environment, the customer, along with thevirtualization software vendor, will be responsible for any issues that arise at the hardware oroperating system layer as a result of their use of the virtualization software.Informatica will not require customers to recreate and troubleshoot every issue in a non-virtualenvironment; however, Informatica does reserve the right to request our customers to recreatecertain issues outside the virtual environment in a native certified operating system environment.Informatica will typically make this request only when there is reason to believe that the virtualenvironment is a contributing factor to the issue.Other ConsiderationsIf support for third party software used by Informatica is restricted, or limited in a virtualenvironment, this also applies to the use of this software in Informatica environments. Informaticadepends on the support from various partner and OEM software products and is required to pass theirlimitations and restrictions on to the customer. It is the customer’s responsibility to work with thevirtualization vendor to ensure compliance and compatibility of third party applications.Since a virtual environment is not native, there may be a possible performance impact when runningInformatica products in a virtual environment. For best performance, Informatica recommendsrunning in non-virtual environments.NOTE: The above information is reproduced from the Statement of Support Related to Usage ofInformatica Products in a Virtual Environment document published by Informatica.Customers who have purchased Informatica PowerCenter and PowerConnect Adapters from OracleCorporation do not have direct support from Informatica. Customers should use My Oracle Support(http://support.oracle.com).12System Requirements and Supported Platforms for Oracle BusinessIntelligence Applications Version 7.9.6, Rev. J

A codepage is considered to be a superset of another code page when the code page contains all the characters encoded in the othercode page and additional characters not encoded in the other code page. See Oracle Business Intelligence ApplicationsInstallation Guide.3.Supported with Oracle Business Intelligence Applications 7.9.6.1 and 7.9.6.2.4.Versions of this document prior to Revision H incorrectly listed DB2 ADCL 9.5 client as the Connectivity Software.5.Also see Footnotes 4 and 5 to Table 4 on page 10.6.Not supported for Oracle Business Intelligence Applications 7.9.6.2.7.The following operating system are supported for Database Clients for the Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse on TeradataV2R6.2, v12.0 and v13.0: IBM AIX 5.2, 5.3 (32-bit and 64-bit), HP-UX 11.11 (PA-RISC 32-bit), HP-UX 11.23 (PA-RISC 32-bit,Itanium), Red Hat Linux 4, 5 (x86 32-bit, x64 Opteron and x64 EM64T), Oracle Enterprise Linux 4, 5 (x86 32-bit, x6 Opteron andx64 EM64T), SUSE Linux 9 (x86 32-bit, x64 Opteron and x64 EM64T),Solaris 8,9,10 (SPARC, 32-bit and 64-bit), Solaris 10 (x64),Windows 2000, 2003 (x86 32-bit), Windows 2003 x64 (supported through Teradata ODBC). Windows 2008 (x86 32-bit) issupported an operating system for Database Clients for the Business Analytics Warehouse on Teradata v12.0. Windows 2008 (x8632-bit) is supported as an operating system for Database Clients for the Business Analytics Warehouse on Teradata v12.0 using32-bit SQL loaders.8.The exact version of the Teradata ODBC driver that is required depends on the operating system and processor (32 bit or 64 bit).Refer to the Drivers and Connectivity Software download page on the Teradata website for information on the exact ODBC driverversion that is supported for a given operating system.9.Supported with Informatica PowerCenter 8.6.1 HotFix 10 and Informatica PowerCenter 8.6.1 HotFix 11.10. Oracle Database 11.2.0.1 requires Patches 9739315 and 9255542 to be applied.NOTE: SQL Server databases with case-sensitive server collation is supported. Also, SQL Serverdatabases should be created with the ANSI NULL option selected.NOTE: Teradata is only supported for the target Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse and not as asource database.NOTE: By its very nature, Oracle Business Intelligence Applications software is very much linked tospecific versions of database software. For this reason, only explicitly tested versions of databaseclient and server software are listed above in Table 6. In instances where alternative service pack orpatch levels have been tested and certified, these will also be indicated.If a customer running on a higher patch level of a supported database finds a problem in the use of theirOracle Business Intelligence Applications software, then Oracle Support will investigate it. If a defect isfound in the Oracle Business Intelligence Applications software, the normal support process will befollowed to determine if and when the defect will be rectified. It may be possible for Oracle to produce apatch for the Oracle Business Intelligence Applications software to work around this defect, but thiscannot be guaranteed and indeed may not even be technically possible. If a defect is identified withinthe database software, then in such a case the defect will not be considered as a defect of the OracleBusiness Intelligence Applications software.Customers’ regression and acceptance tests that will be run after the database upgrades areperformed should fully test the range of features and functionality that are expected to be seen inthe production environment, to ensure that they are confident there are no significant problemsintroduced by the upgrade of the database software.Support for Oracle Real Applications Clusters (RAC)The Oracle Busi
