OBIEE 11g - Deinstall

Failed installation of the my last OBIEE 11G installation with the simple install. I performed the following tasks:( The reason that I did not use the uninstall wizard is there existed failure during my last installation and prevented the uninstall wizard from working correctly. I will cover the regular uninstall procedure after this.)

Deletion

 1)Whole Directory

2) Bea Folder

3) Orainventory

4) Under temp folder directory

After that, I tired to install obiee 11g from the installation wizard again and when it came to the RCU configuration page.I encountered the following error:

INST-08020: One or more entries are found in HSS_COMPONENT table.
– A new schema must be used in order to install successfully.

Reason: When you conducted the simple install, you also had to point to the BIPLATFORM and MDS schemas. These schema tables get populated with the first installation attempt and succeeded. If you want to reinstall the software to enterprise install. You have to drop the BIPLATFORM and MDS Schemas created by the RCU install. Those schemas can only contain one OBI installation at a time unless you changed the prefix (ie: DEV_,QA_,PROD_,etc.) of the schemas if you had the RCU a second time against that same database.

Solutions: If you want to use the same database, then drop the schema firstly using the wizard and then manually delete the corresponding tablespaces. (ie: DEV_BIPLATFORM.dbf, DEV_MDS.dbf,etc)
