OBIEE Server Issue

Hello,
Yesterday BI Server went down, when I check the logs ther is nothing related to shutdown. It only shows restarting the sever, did any one of you guys faced this kind of issue? We have a Initialization block failed, I am not sure this might be the cause. How can I troubleshoot on this, Any ideas/help is highly appreciated.
Thanks a ton in advance..
- Abhi

. I did check the event viewer for system I found two msgs related to Bi server.
1. UdmpDrvr detected NqsServer.exe was terminated by NQSServer.exe
2. The oracle BI server terminated unexpectedly.
One more thing I even notice the memory usage for NQSServer.exe goes very high.OK, that's good news as you now have two solid bits of diagnostics.
Is this a dev environment, or prod? Can you restrict all activity to one Answers user and observe NQServer's memory and CPU usage? Are you able to correlate the running of a particular report with NQServer.exe crashing?
Do you know what UdmpDrvr is? Is that the exact text of the message?
Is there anything else running on the same machine as BI Server that could be interferring with it?
Check on My Oracle Support (used to be Metalink3) for NQServer.exe crashes.
You may need to raise an SR for this problem.

  • Error while table Import from Oracle (OBIEE server 64bit & Client 32bit)

    Hi All,
    Problem : ODBC/OCI Connectivity Issue between OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 (64-bit) server and OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 Client (32-bit) local machine.
    We have an OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1(64-bit) setup on a 64-bit ‘Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise’ machine.
    OBIEE dev team members have 32-bit local machines.
    OBIEE “Admin team member” (who will work on RPD) has OBIEE 11g client (BP1) installed on their *32-bit local machine*(which is common client software for 32/64 bit.)
    Now, two ODBC connections were created on this 32-bit local Client machine, with OBIEE 11g client installed on it.
    One with “BI server driver” for connection to OBIEE server machine(64-bit) to open RPD and other with “Oracle database driver” to connect to the Oracle database on 64-bit machine, to import tables.
    With this setup done, I am able to open the RPD in online mode and view the existing sampleapp related objects present in it.
    But when I try to import metadata from OBIEE client admin tool using OCI or ODBC, it gives an error that “Connection fails! “
    I have the required tns entry in my tnsnames.ora file and I am able to connect to this database from the local client machine, using sqlplus.
    Kindly let me know if there are any restrictions in using this type of a setup combination of 32-bit and 64-bit machines for OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 setup.
    If not then, what steps are to be followed to do the setup btw 64-bit OBIEE server and 32-bit OBIEE client to make table import working.

    Hi Veeravalli.. Thanks for your response.
    I have my tns file residing in both the location you mentioned on the server machine. (64-bit)
    •     {Oracle_BI1}\network\admin directory
    •     {oracle_common}\network\admin directory
    And also in the below Oracle_home path of oracle_client in the local machine. (32-bit, Oracle 11g R2 database client)
    •     {oracle_Home}\product\11.2.0\client_1\network\admin
    Also, I have used the full expanded tnsnames as you mentioned. Still issue persists.
    When I use , “DataDirect 6.0 ODBC Oracle Wire Protocol” driver, for creating the system DSN and try to import tables from OBIEE client admin tool on local client machine, the connection happens and table list comes up, but it’s an SAP product and hence it throws a msg to purchase the tool to go further with table import.
    I am wondering if I any other configuration steps need to be carried out, with the ODBC/OCI set up between 64-bit OBIEE server and 32-bit OBIEE client.
    Also, the source database that I am trying to connect to is yet again on a 64-bit machine(Oracle 11g R2).
    Please suggest.

  • Retrieving data from OBIEE server using ODBC

    Hello.
    I am having difficulty retrieving data from OBIEE 11g using the ODBC connection. My intention is to read OBIEE Server data via a SQL statement issued from an Oracle database using gateways.
    I have read and followed the material here:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/bi.1111/e16364/odbc_data_source.htm#CACBFCJA
    I have also tried this from Excel 2007, but have not succeeded:
    http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/import_data_from_obiee_to_excel
    I have setup a gateway in Oracle and a database link. Iknow it is connecting because when I change the password to something invalid, I get a message about not being able to connect due to username/password.
    I have taken a query from Answers (the advanced tab) and tried running it from Sql Developer. The nsqserver.log file ends up with the following Notification:
    [nQSError: 13013] Init block, 'DUAL Num (=3)', has more variables than the query select list.
    As an experiment, I am using the SampleApp, and have generated the following query in Answers:
    SELECT s_0, s_1, s_2, s_3 FROM (
    SELECT
    0 s_0,
    "A - Sample Sales"."Products"."P3 LOB" s_1,
    DESCRIPTOR_IDOF("A - Sample Sales"."Products"."P3 LOB") s_2,
    "A - Sample Sales"."Base Facts"."1- Revenue" s_3
    FROM "A - Sample Sales"
    ) djm ORDER BY 1, 2 ASC NULLS LAST
    Is there a way to issue this query from a database client like SQL Developer? I have setup a database link called obiee via gateways to the ODBC connection, and add @obiee after the table name in the above query, but get the nqs error above.
    Thanks for any help. I can provide addl info if such would be useful.
    Ari

    That would explain my difficulty. I went to the link:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/relnotes.1111/e10132/biee.htm#CHDIFHEE
    that describes the deprecated client. I am confused by the statement there:
    "one of the many widely available third-party ODBC/JDBC tools to satisfy previous NQClient functionality"
    My understanding of ODBC is not very strong, so please bear with me. The statement above is talking about a client tool, but there also needs to be an ODBC driver available for BI Server. I may be a bit confused between driver and client, and what piece nq handles. I don't understand the comment about third-party ODBC when it comes to the driver piece, as that must be coded for BI Server. When I go to create a new DSN, the only driver that makes sense for me to select is:
    Oracle BI Server 11g_OH<id>
    That all works fine to setup a DSN. But I am unable to connect from Excel, etc., using this DSN.
    Put more simply, should I be able to connect to BI Server via ODBC - not using the deprecated BI ODBC client, but using other clients? Is there ODBC connectivity at all in OBIEE 11g?
    Thanks,
    Ari

  • Physical change of location for OBIEE server.

    hi All,
    We are doing a physical relocation for OBIEE server and this would mean a change of IP address of the OBIEE server.
    From a OBIEE perspective what all would be affected and what all would have to be looked upon when we restart the OBIEE in the changed location.
    Also I would like to know the Impact on OBIEE from the RCU perspective as the DB schema IP address id which was provided during installation is also going to change. Will this cause any problem.
    Regards,
    Bhavik

    I plan to try relocating a obiee server. I am not sure whether you will have any issues with that make sure you have network setting set up properly.
    Network setting are mentioned here:
    http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/installation_11.1
    About the RCU repository you can set it up to use a new ones:
    OBIEE has lost repositories dev_biplatform and dev_mds.
    Just create new ones and change the datasources in weblogic/console.
    Please post if you have any issues or insides I am very interesting in this.

  • Unable to connect to OBIEE server

    Hi,
    When I connect to OBIEE server on Linux, my browser kept spining without giving any results (no HTTP404 or 500 etc), what might be the issue?
    I checked port numbers in following files and they seems to be correct.
    nedit $SAROOTDIR/oc4j_bi/j2ee/home/config/default-web-site.xml&
    nedit $SAROOTDIR/xmlp/XMLP/Admin/Configuration/xmlp-server-config.xml&
    It must be server issue since I can connect to other OBIEE servers successfully.
    Thanks for your help,

    Thanks.

    It's probalbly the running out of chache space.
    It's not a good idea to have your cache file residing on the same drive as your OS. When it runs into disk size problem in can make your OS corrupt. Have a look here on cache management:

  • Running reports on Flat file schemas when OBIEE server is on Unix

    Hello
    we would like to know how Unix OBIEE work with flat file. Currently, in our environment our Development and Production OBIEE are running on Unix AIX machine while our local OBIEE environment is on Windows.
    As our devolepment and configuration goes, we have encounter situations where the flat file schema that were working well on Windows OBIEE server will not run on Unix. The flat files are located on a windows file directory and could be successfully imported into OBIEE throu Admin Tool.
    However, when updating rowcounts or running reports on answers in Unix OBIEE it would return errors:

  • HP Connected server issues

    My printer has been working well *. since I purchased it earlier this year. until about a week ago when I upgraded to the next level Instant Ink plan. Since then when I try to print the display on the printer shows a rotating circle with the word Printing. This remains for around 2 minutes, without printing anything, and then I get a message on the display that tells me that "The printer cannot connect to HP Connected". At the same time I get a pop up on my PC that "warns me" that the printer cannot connect to HP Connected and that this may cause my printer to stop printing. The terrible message concludes with the meaningless "OK" statement, having urged me to follow the printer's on screen display to make the connection.  When I try to follow the instructions on the printer it merely confirms that the printer is connected. I usually cancel out of the setup and then, as if by magic, whatever I tried to print suddenly starts printing.  So, my questions are?
    1) Is this a common or at least know problem?
    2) Is it caused by my having changed Instant Ink plans and if so what has HP done to cause this?
    3) I have not knowingly changed anything on my system other than the HP Instank Ink plan so why does the printer no longer connect to the HP Connected server to update that system with details of my print usage?
    4) Is there a fix/workaround that will prevent me from having to manually coax my printer to work again?
    I have already used the HP Updates function and have reset/restarted both the wireless router and my PC.
    * I do occasionally get messages saying that the scan function isn't available because it's lost connectivity but this seems to rectify itself without having to do anything else.

  • Any docs on HOW TO INSTALL ORACLE CLIENT ON OBIEE SERVER?`

    Thanks...

    Generally speaking the way to installing Oracle Client does not depend directly on the product that is going to use it
    If some product requires some specific Oracle Client versions or Oracle Client configurations you should find this information in the product documentation (i.e OBIEE Server) and not in Oracle Client documentation.
    You can find Oracle Client documentation (named "Database Client") in the Installation sections of tahiti.oracle.com. For example for 11.2: http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/portal.portal_db?selected=11&frame=#microsoft_windows_installation_guides.
