Instanceconfig.xml and Nqsconfig.ini

Hi Experts,
what is the main purpose of Instanceconfig.xml file and Nqsconfig.ini file what are the functions we are going to set in these both files.
Thanks,

In OBIEE 10g, Instanceconfig.xml is the main configuration file of the BI Presentation server. In OBIEE 11g though, Instanceconfig.xml is also the configuration file for BI Scheduler. Nqsconfig.ini is the main configuration file for the BI Server both in 10g and 11g.
There are a lot of parameters that can be set within both the config files, it will depend on what the need is.
Please mark if helpful/correct.

Changes to NQSCONFIG.INI in obiee 11g is not working???

I modified NQSCONFIG.INI in obiee 11g and restarted BI services but what ever changes I did are gone. how can I modify NQSCONFIG.INI OR INSTANCECONFIG.XML files?

As per documentation: e10541
A.1.1 How to Update Parameters in NQSConfig.INI
The following procedure explains how to update parameters in NQSConfig.INI.
To update parameters in NQSConfig.INI:
Open the NQSConfig.INI file in a text editor. You can find this file at:
ORACLE_INSTANCE/config/OracleBIServerComponent/coreapplication_obisn
Make a backup copy of the file before editing.
Locate and update the parameter you want to change.
Save and close the file.
Restart the Oracle BI Server. For more information, see Section 4.1, "About Starting and Stopping Oracle Business Intelligence."
If you have multiple Oracle BI Server instances, then repeat these steps in each NQSConfig.INI file for all Oracle BI Server instances.

OBIEE10g: Even after changing NQSConfig.INI it still loads the old rpd.

New rpd name has been updated in NQSConfig.INI file and the services have been restarted manually. Still in the presentation services, i get the old RPD.
The log file of both the NQServer.log and <NewRPD>.rpd.Log says that new rpd has been loaded.
Is there anything that I am missing? Is there any way to save the new RPD directly as Online mode?
I am using OBIEE 10g as a standalone on Windows xp.
Thanks,
Prem.

The rpd doesnt come up in the list of available Online rpd's.
I did check the log file again (changing the rpd name), it shows as loaded and also the subject area under it.
Still stuck with this issue.

Prem.

NQSConfig.ini

Hi all,
I was doing this repository and catalog migration from Dev to Prod. My version is 11g. So, I did this from Weblogic Enterprise Manager usning Deployment option. Now, I notice that the user cannot see My Folders in Analysis. And moreover I noticed, the NQSConfig.ini file did not replace the repository name with the latest one, because I changed the repository name in Prod before uploading. Please assist. What is going wrong?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Lakshmipathi, thanks for your prompt response. On Prod, I checked the NQSConfig.ini file to check which repository it is point to. I copied the same repository across environments. Renamed it on Dev. And then uploaded it along with the catalog. I restarted the server as well. But the NQSConfig.ini seems the same with the old repository name. Please let me know if you need to know any other info...

Back up of Nqsconfig.ini ?????

HI All,
I deleted the Nqsconfig.ini file by mistake from the Linux server where OBIEE was installed. I tried to replace it by copying a Nqsconfig.ini file which i had in the windows environment , but the OBIEE server is not starting.
Is there anyway I can get a back up of Nqsconfig.ini file. or is there any solution for this problem?
Thanks

If you copied the file from a Windows server then you need to run the Linux command dos2unix to convert the file format to Unix. Then of course you should modify any relevant parameters in tour NQSConfig.ini for your Linux installation. The easiest thing will probably be to shutdown your current Linux installation, create a temp folder and move your existing installation there. Then do a new dummy installation in the same directory. When it is finished then make a copy of the NQSConfig.ini, trash the dummy installation and restore your previous installation. Windows boys, no chance of you guying doing this trick, Windows is too dirty to install all the files of a program in a single directory like the majority of Unix/Linux programs do! ;)

Issue with nqsconfig.ini

HI,
It couldn't reflect in nqsconfig.ini file, while i was disabling cache in EM. Can anyone please clarify my doubt.
Thanks,

Now can you pls correct me if i am wrong that after purging the server cache and * not pruging presentation server cache * IBOT will take the latest data from the database.Yes it will take latest data from DB and your right .If you purge server cache everything is cleaned up and when presentation server is run it should talk to BI server to fetch the details so as to accomodate the presentation server cache as requested.
There is another method to purge cache after every ETL run,you need to create an ibot to fire it and write a custom script so it purges the old data and we need to schedule it after the ETL run...so it cleans up data and when end user comes next day and want to see fresh data it is there to see.It might help you

Okay so time for some History..
1) Nquire makes a software called "nquire suites". nQuire launched its nQuire suite of products in late 1999 to monitor and deliver real-time intelligence based on any fact-based problem or opportunity by initiating an e-mail or page to any device, such as a laptop, pager, PDA, RIM, U.S. and European mobile phones.
2) Siebel buys Nquire for $65 million in late 2001 ( http://www.internetnews.com/ent-news/article.php/894791 ) and renames it as "Siebel Analytics"
3) Oracle buys Siebel in 2005 and renames it as "Oracle Business Intelligence" in 2007.
So basically, NQSconfig stands for Nquire Server Config..

Hetrogenous join: ms access local and oracle on server

Hello
I want to know if it is possible to join tables from a local client ms access db and an oracle db on a server. I have used the link feature in ms access and the hsodbc feature of oracle, but the ms access db is local and the oracle is not. Is there anyway that I can control the local access db from a link from the oracle db on the remote server?
Thanx

There is no such facility as of now to acces Oracle table from DB2 database or anything.
You can spool the data into flat file for MS access table and import that data into
Oracle table.

I tried to update iTunes yesterday. The update failed. Now when I try to open iTunes it says that the version isn't localized and needs to be run in English. It has never been in another language.

I attempted to update iTunes yesterday. The update failed. iTunes now won't open and displays an error message that the program isn't localized and needs to be run in the English version. I'm in the US and the computer and program has never been used in another language. I tried reinstalling the full download for the new version and that failed as well. I logged out; shut down; restarted; retried the update; etc. Still no luck and the same message. Thoughts?

Solving MSVCR80 issue and Windows iTunes install issues.
If the above doesn’t do the trick entirely, then use the instructions in the following as it applies to the version of Windows you are using:

How to use the same services-config for the local and remote servers.

My flex project works fine using the below but when I upload my flash file to the server I doesn't work, all the relative paths and files are the same execpt the remote one is a linux server.

    </channel-definition>
    </channels>
</services-config>
I think the problem is the line
        <endpoint uri="http://localhost/domainn.org/amfphp/gateway.php" class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/>
but I'm not sure how to use the same services-config for the local and remote servers.

You are confusing "served from a web-server" with "compiled on a web-server". Served from a web-server means you are downloading a file from the web-server, it does not necessarily mean that the files has been generated / compiled on the server.
The server.name and server.port tokens are replaced at runtime (ie. on the client when the swf has been downloaded and is running) not compile time (ie. while mxmlc / ant / wet-tier compiler is running). You do not need to compile on the server to take advantage of this.
Hi Paul,
In Flex, there is feature that lets developer to put all service-config.xml file configuration information into swf file. with
-services=path/to/services-config.xml
IF
services-config.xml
have tokens in it and user have not specified additional
-context-root
and this swf file is not served from web-app-server (like tomcat for example) than it will not work,
Flash player have no possible way to replace token values of service-config.xml file durring runtime if that service-config.xml file have been baked into swf file during compilation,
for example during development you can launch your swf file from your browser with file// protocol and still be able to access blazeDS services if
-services=path/to/services-config.xml
have been specified durring compilation.
I dont know any better way to exmplain this, but in summary there is two places that you can tell swf about service confogiration,
1) pass -services=path/to/services-config.xml parameter to compiler this way you tell swf file up front about all that good stuff,
or 2) you put that file on the webserver( in this case, yes you should have replacement tokens in that file) and they will be repaced at runtime .

-ComputerName xxx -Credential DomainName\DomainAccount
Figure 13.
After you enter the credential, it will start install Windows Server Essentials role on your computer. (Figure 14)
Figure 14.
After the installation completes, it will return the result as below:
Figure 15.
Next, please use the
Enter-PSSession
cmdlet and provide the correct credential to start an interactive session with a remote computer. You can use the commands below:
Enter-PSSession –ComputerName
xxx –Credential DomainName\DomainAccount (Figure 16)
Figure 16.
Then, please configure Server Essentials Role via
Add-WssConfigurationService cmdlet and it also needs to provide correct credential. (Figure 17)
Figure 17.
After your credential is accepted, it will update and prepare your server. (Figure 18)
Figure 18.
After that, please type “Y” to continue to configure Windows Server Essentials. (Figure 19)
Figure 19.
2. In a non-domain environment
In my test environment, I set up two computers running Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and use Server1 as a target computer. The IP addresses for the two computers are as
below:
Sevrer1: 192.168.1.54
Server2: 192.168.1.53
Run
Enable-PSRemoting –Force on Server1. (Figure 20)
Figure 20.
Since there is no existing domain, it is necessary to add the target computer (Server1) to a TrustedHosts list (maintained by WinRM) on Server 2. We can use following command
to
add the TrustedHosts entry:
Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts IP-Address
(Figure 21)
Figure 21.
Next, we can use
Enter-PSSession
cmdlet and provide the correct credential to start an interactive session with the remote computer. (Figure 22)
Figure 22.
After that, you can install Windows Server Essentials Experience Role remotely via Add-WindowsFeature ServerEssentialsRole cmdlet. (Figure 23)
Figure 23.
From figure 24, we can see that the installation is completed.
Figure 24.
Then you can use
Start-WssConfigurationService cmdlet to configure Essentials Role and follow the steps in the first part (configure Windows Server Essentials Experience in a non-domain environment) as the steps would be the same.
The figure below shows the status of Windows Server Essentials.
Figure
25.
Finally, we have successfully configured Windows Server Essentials on Server1. (Figure 26)

Local and ISP DNS

Hi all,
i have a local DNS server for some local stuff like website,ldap and so on and the normal ISP DNS.
On Client i have entered the local DNS IP (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) and the ISP DNS IP (yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy).
So here is my problem when the Local DNS IP is on top of the table i can surf only the local websites but not the public. vice versa is it for when i have the ISP DNS IP on top. what can i do to surf all website, the local and the public.

Your DNS is asking a "lame" server for DNS; you're not getting an authoritative response to the query.
The target DNS server for the query isn't configured correctly; the local DNS server has found a target DNS server for the domain as being authoritative for the zone, but the target DNS server is not configured as being authoritative for the zone.
i configured my router for forwarding the port 53 to my local dns, but it didn't solved the problem!
That's not what I'd choose here.
Your clients are aimed at your DNS server. Your DNS server is aimed at your ISP servers. Your firewall is set to pass DNS out, but (generally) to block inbound DNS requests. Your DHCP is set to serve your DNS server address. If you've been tossing configuration changes and such here within your clients and your DNS servers, then you may well have some stale stuff in the DNS caches, too.
