Nick,
I have installed Oracle Client9i and a connect string RPTAPP pointing to the OTM database is placed in the tnsnames.ora file.
Also I have installed the Tomcat under OBIEE_HOME and configured the server.xml as mentioned in the admin guide(8005,8009 ports are used for shutdown and ajp13).
Finally copied the "apache" folder from OTM_HOME to OBIEE_HOME and made changes in the httpd.conf,worker.properties and mod_jk.conf files to reflect new directory location,ip address and ports.
One clarification regarding the starting of services.
While starting OTM,i started otmapp55,otmwebtomcat55 and otmweb55 services in order.
Similarly while starting services for OBIEE,the order was like
BI oc4j,BI Server,BI Java Host,BI Presentation Server,Tomcat and BI Scheduler.
There isn't a place where i am starting the service for the Apache Server for the OBIEE as i did in the OTM(otmweb55).

And by the way I am using Sun JDK1.5 instead of JRockit.
Can this be the issue?

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
durga Rao

You can basically copy the otmweb55 script and modify it to the new directory and name it otmobiweb55 or something like that. Or you can do what I did and create an oraclebi55 script that incorporates all of the startups from apache/tomcat/oraclebi into one. You can even use the WaitforServer.pl to make sure each part of the OBI is up before proceeding to the next. Here are the default ports to use if you are planning on using the WaitforServer.pl

OBI_SAW_PORT=9710
OBI_SCHEDULER_PORT=9705
OBI_SERVER_PORT=9703

To install FTI using 2-pages instruction from OTM Admin Guide is painful.
Here is my complete steps to install FTI.
Also, starting from 5.5 CU5, more detail steps (some of them are copied from my doc ) are included in OTM Admin Guide. You can find it from CU5 installation CD or
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B...nistration.pdf

I just realized that previous attachment only works for 5.5 CU4 and the Admin Guide is still chaotic.

Here are my complete steps for installing FTI on OTM 5.5 CU5
