Automate RPD and Catalog Patching in OBIEE 11G

Is it possible to automate the patching process with scripting? This would be the complete cycle: compare, generate xml patch and apply patch. I see that I can script the applying of the patch but need to be able to script the compare.

Yes, You could accomplish this using the OBIEE 11g scripts.
The one place you may want to reconsider the "complete cycle" is when it comes to actually patching the production RPD via automated fashion. I would leave that to remain as a manual redeployment after the patching to some stage folder/area, then manually deploy the RPD. This way you are certain to retain the incremental versioning that is now provided in the Fusion Console EM, etc.

OBIEE 11G RPD and Catalog

HI
Can any one help me
how to create new catalog for Bisample repository to deploy the rpd and catalog
can any one explain beiefly plz

Follow these steps
1). Go to localDrive:C:\OBIEE11G\instances\instance1\config\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreapplication_obips1
2). Open your instanceconfig.xml file
3). Find <CatalogPath> and </CatalogPath> tags
4). Write the new catalong name that you want to create (suppose sh_new) then your tag should look like this
<CatalogPath>C:\OBIEE11G\instances\instance1/bifoundation/OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent/coreapplication_obips1/catalog/obirep</CatalogPath>
5). Save the file and start/re-start the BI presentation service
6). It automatically creates the obirep catalog, once we start our presentation service and you need not to create anything manually.

RPD and Catalog Upgrade to 11.1.1.6

Migrating OBIEE 11.1.1.7 RPD and CATALOG

Hi Gurus,
We have two environments in our project DEV and TEST where OBIEE 11.1.1.7 is installed.
We are using weblogic Internal Security in DEV and we have 3 users and a role by name App in DEV.
Now after Migration I am having 3 issues:
1) After deploying DEV RPD in TEST and after restarting the services. I got an issue like Admin user Weblogic is not able to login in to Answers as well as Repository in Online. After my R&D I found that I have to delete all the users in RPD and then restart the services which worked and my Admin user (weblogic) is able to login to answers as well as RPD.
Now my question is: Am I doing it in right way for Repository Migration because if it is correct every time If I have to migrate I have to delete all the users in RPD?
2) Before Migrarting the Catalog we have created the same App role in Test Environment. After migrating the Catalog only the Shared Folders using Catalog Manager Archive/Un-Archive the security configured in DEv against the App in Catalog folders is not migrated but security configured against the App role in RPD Subject areas is migrated. Now my question is how to migrate the catalog folder security also.
3) After checking the Dashboards I can see that I lost all the format changes done in DEV. Format changes are like User preferred currency, Comma separator e.t.c. Now please let me know how to migrate this Format changes.
Please help me on this.
Regards,
Sai.

Is there is any upgrade process to follow (if so, what they are) to use OBIEE 11.1.1.3 rpd and webcatalog with OBIEE 11.1.1.5 installation.
Is there anything extra needs to be done apart from just about moving them to 11.1.1.5 installed machine and deploy/specify path through Oracle EM Fusion Middleware Control.
Thanks in advance for the inputs.

Cannot access catalog Manager in OBIEE 11g

When I used OBIEE 10g, I was able to access the Catalog Manager from windows if I installed the Admin Tools.
Now that I am using 11g and dowloaded the Admin Tools for 11g... I no longer see catalog Manager.
I use this often to move reports from one catalog to another. What can I do???
Environmet:
Application Server: Linux Oracle Linix R5U4
Database Linix Server Oracle 11g.2.0.3
OBIEE 11.1.1.5
Tyhank you
Steve Brault

It is also available in 11g also with server installation. you might need to navigate to the following folder
Windows: ORACLE_INSTANCE\bifoundation\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreapplication_obips1\catalogmanager\runcat.cmd
Linux : ORACLE_INSTANCE/bifoundation/OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent/coreapplication_obips1/catalogmanager/runcat.sh

Applying a patch to OBIEE 11g

Hello Everyone,
I am new to OBI and specially new to 11g, Now most of you guys will know that there was a bug in 11g in which if you want to see the query generated by the report in session log, It shows "no log found". Now there was a patch available which i have downloaded and i am not so sure as to how to apply that patch to OBI, I tried all the steps given in the read me doc provided with the doc. but all in Vain, as it is very confusing and more importantly it doesnt work,
Can any one help me out here by telling me the actual steps involved.
Thanks,

Try the following -
1. cd to oracle home folder\opatch
set oracle_home=your home directory (iethe parent of opatch\ folder)
opatch lsinventory -patch -detail
The last command should run and say "opatch successful".
Now run the command:
2. opatch apply -verbose "your patch folder's complete path"
(verbose tells u the sequence, success or errors if any)
OK - now,
3. The patch on my PC failed saying that I needed to install the latest opatch. I downloaded the latest opatch (11.2 even though the patch (ie the "no log found" patch) requires 11.1.0.8.2 or something) and just extracted it to the oracle home folder - yes, it will overwrite the current opatch folder, so back it up before you copy the latest opatch folder.
4. After this, I ran the command again from step 2 again. It seemed to be running, ie somewhat successful, but it asked for my oracle support login, some proxy server crap so it could connect to the internet, also gives options to specify "NONE" if you didn't need all this - but never came back...at that point, I quit. I tried again and it got stuck at the same point - so, I wasn't sure if it succeeded or not.
5. I assumed the patch ran OK and tried to view the log - but this time it gave a different error "it is not a Win32 application" or something like that. I am sure that I downloaded the win32 patch only. Yet, I am going to check and try it out again tomorrow.
Let me know if it worked for you and the details.
Hope all this helps :-)

Horizontal Federation of relational and Essbase source in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I have created physical, business model and presentation layer for Essbase and relational sources. Works OK.
Now I need to create business model which is horizontal federation of these both sources. I need to have measures from Essbase and relational sources in one logical table.
Let's say that relational source has physical table MyFacts with columns MyValues NUMBER (measure) and D_Product_ID NUMBER(relation to dimension) and table D_PRODUCT with columns ID NUMBER, NAME VARCHAR2
Essbase cube has measure EbValues with dimension EbDimProduct
After import I've converted measure dimension into flat measures.
What requirements are for building hybrid federation?
How Essbase/relational dimensions should be built. How to create logical table with measures MyValues and EbValues? Should I build relations between relational and essbase tables in Physical layer?
Any link to example of horizontal federation will be appreciated :)
Regards,
Tatatoshi
