ODIConsole Installation

Metadata Navigator is for ODI 10g and its named as odiconsole in 11g

And you will need a standalone weblogic server to deploy the odiconsoel.jar. In ODI, we can choose the option of deploying ODIconsole at the time of installation itself. Or it can extendede to deply it later

Note:
  • Weblogic 10.3.5 is needed to host the ODIconsole of version 11.1.1.5
  • Also Installing ODI on 64 bit machine does not support 64 bit JDK. Its a known bug in ODI 11g. so  a 32-bit JDK is needed to start up the ODIStudio
