With the introduction of Business Intelligence (BI) Publisher Release 12c, the Repository Creation Utility is part of the Oracle Fusion Middleware.

1. Download Oracle Fusion Middleware 12c from the Oracle Business Intelligence Downloads page. Look for the .Zip file fmw_12.2.1.3.0_infrastructure_Disk1_1of1.zip.
2. Copy the file to your server in the oracle1 directory created under the path /home/oracle/oracle1.
3. Login to your server as the oracle user with the -Y flag
4. Go to the oracle1 directory at the path /home/oracle/oracle1.

   ssh -Y oracle@vm
   cd oracle1

5. Ensure that the file was not corrupted during transfer. Match the checksum of the file to checksum published by Oracle for the file. The checksum is displayed next to the download link. Use this command to calculate the checksum.

   - md5sum <filename>

   The checksum output has the following format: <checksum> <byte count> <filename>
6. Extract the contents of the file fmw_12.2.1.3.0_infrastructure_Disk1_1of1.zip.

   
   unzip fmw_12.2.1.3.0_infrastructure_Disk1_1of1.zip

7. Run this command on the resulting JAR file to run the Oracle Fusion Middleware installer:

   java –d64 –jar fmw_12.2.1.3.0_infrastructure.jar

   export NEW_ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_Home1

3. Start a new bash shell as the "oracle" Linux user. For example:
