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
Thanks

Cannot open Catalog Manager and Job Manager on Windows 7 (11.1.1.6.2 BP1)

Hi,
We recently upgraded to OBIEE version 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 and installed Client tools from the same version (downloaded from Oracle Support). Once installed, ODBC connections are created to connect to the BI Server and we are able to connect to BI Server using Administration Tool. But Catalog Manager and Job Manager are not opening.
Is there any setup missing to make Catalog Manager and Job Manager work?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
It is a known bug. Please find the solution here.

Find the built reports without accessing analytics page in OBIEE 11g

Hi everyone,
I am working with OBIEE 11g. This week I got a problem, I am unable to start the BI Services. I just can access Weblogic Server Console and Enterprise Manager but not the analytics page where I can build dashboards, answers, agents etc.
I have done a full backup of the server where the whole BI Application resides. But after the backup, I have added many reports. I have the copy of the repository file .rpd after adding these new reports. What I am proposing now is to make a backup of the server actual state, then restore the old backup of the server and use the copy of the repository file. But it requires a lot of work to add the reports made before. Is there any way or place where to find the built reports even though the BI services are unable to start? I can acces the WLS and Enterprise Manager. If it is possible to find the reports, we can just restore to the last backup of the server and resolve the problem. Please help me.
Thank you

Cannot get into 'Dashboard Properties' (OBIEE 11g) using IE 8

When I enter an OBIEE 11g dashboard (as an Administrator) and click on "*Edit Dashboard*" & then click on "*Dashboard Properties*":
1) the "*Dashboard Properties*" box pops up but...
2) only the upper porting of the "*Dashboard Properties*" box displays
3) the lower portion of the box never displays...it just stays all white. This portion is where the grid that would normally display the list of dashboard pages (where I could choose to hide pages)
4) at the bottom left-had part of my browser, it says "*(11 items remaining)*"
5) my browser stays locked like this & the only way to get out of it is to ctrl+alt+del
Several things to note:
1) I'm not sure when this started happening, but I noticed it sometime last week. I know in the past I was able to get into the dashboard properties, but now I cannot.
2) I am on OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0
3) I am on Win7 32-bit
4) I am on version IE 8.0.7601.17514
5) I can run OBIEE in Firefox and edit the dashboard properties just fine. This issue does not seem to exist in Firefox
6) If I change to "*compatibility view*" in IE 8, I seem to be able to go into the "*Dashboard Propeties*" box just fine...HOWEVER, when I try to go into "*Edit Dashboard*" (while in "*compatibility view*") many of my objects (columns/sections) overlap & are weirdly placed all over the screen.
7) I have tried modifying the httpd.conf file as per the official Oracle white paper relating to OBIEE 11g in IE8 (Doc ID 1312299.1) and it didn't seem to fix my issue
8) I have also tried uninstalling & re-installing IE8 but that also did not seem to fix my issue.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? If so, any suggestions on what one might do to fix it?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Good suggestion. I have tried IE 8 and 9 and Firefox with the same results. An error is thrown in IE 8:
"Message: Can't move focus to the control because it is invisible, not enabled, or of a type that does not accept the focus."
I believe this is referring to the fact that it cannot move focus to the username text field as the field is not displayed.
Another note, our steps for upgrade were as follows so not sure if this is part of the problem:
1. Install 11.1.1.3 OBIEE
2. Upgrade to 11.1.1.5 OBIEE
3. Run ua.bat for publisher schema and repository
4. Now, do not see username/pw at login and thus cannot login

Lightroom 3: cannot access color management / print dialog

Whenever I go to print anything in Lightroom 3 (or CS5 for that matter), I cannot access the print / color management settings in the print dialog box. The words are there with black lines through them, with the warning that the bundle doesn't match the architecture - or something like this. I have installed the newest print driver software (Epson 2200, work horse). Help! I have not been able to solve the problem with Adobe either.

After trying to figure this out for weeks, I did find a related post on Lightroom's Facebook page. It is the 64 bit issue. To solve, highlight the application icon, go to "Get Info" dialog box, and click on "open in 32 bit mode". Same applies for CS5. Good Lord, what a hassle.

Cannot access Startup Manager from boot

I'm trying to fix a friends computer, and I'm running into some issues. Here's the setup:
She used her computer last night, and then shut it down. This morning, she tried to start it up, and after about 10 minutes of waiting, got the folder with a question mark. She tried resetting it a few time, but still kept getting the folder with question mark.
So, I am now currently trying to trouble shoot the system to figure out exactly what the problem is. These are the solutions I've tried:
Resetting the PRAM, several times
Trying to startup from external USB drive, by using the "force bypass of internal drive" key command at startup
Starting the problem machine in target disk mode, and connecting it to my laptop (the drive didn't show up on the desktop, disk utility or Techtools Pro)
Startup in Safe mode (got folder with ?)
Startup in Verbose mode (just got a grey screen)
Now, I have my laptop, in target disk mode, connected to her laptop, and I am trying to access the Startup Manager (hold option key at startup). But, after about 20 minutes of waiting, I still have just a grey screen with the mouse cursor; no icon for my computer; no refresh; nothing. I tested this firewire cable with my laptop and another computer, and it works just fine.
My next option is to try the force bypass again, then try an OSX CD. Everything after that involves removal, and possible replacement, of the drive.
Does anyone have any idea why I cannot access the Startup Manager on this system?

OMG this is what just happened to me exactly last night! I was in the middle of a freaking project that is due monday and i might lose everything! It is currently at the apple store right now and i wont get it back for 3 or 4 days. I am freaking out because they said there is a chance that i could lose everything. They said there is a problem with the hard drive....have you found anything out about this? BC i am freaking out! I pretty much cried for hours and if i lose all my data that is like 2000 dollars of music and movies down the drain. I hope you can fix it but id advise that your friend take it to the store just bc i would be afraid to make it worse.

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.

Cannot access catalogs in LR 3.+

I have LR 2.6 and can access the catalogs created in that version. I installed the 3.0 Beta and created catalogs there. The beta expired and I downloaded the new 3.+ Beta, but it will access only one of the catalogs created under the 3.0 beta and none created under 2.6.
What do I do?

LR 3 Beta cannot open or convert LR 2.x catalogs. You will have to wait for the production release of LR 3.x.
Have a look at the read me notes that comes with the dowmload, there is a lot of important information there.

Database up but cannot access Enterprise Manager or APEX Login

Newbie here so sorry if this is straightforward.
I've already searched the forums and have tried to do what is recommended and still have an issue.
I'm running 10.2 Enterprise on a windows XP virtual machine. It has been working ok for some time.
I rebooted the VM without shutting down the DB. When it rebooted the database is up and I can run queries using SQLplus. However I can't load any services through a web page eg. Enterprise Manager, APEX login.. I also can't make a connection using SQL Developer. These were all working fine before.
I've searched these forums already and some people have had similar issues when running 10.2 on a virtual machine and it was the listener that was an issue...
I deleted and reinstalled the listener using Net Configuration Assitant and restarted the DB but that didn't help.
Below are the results when i use tnsping. Any advice would be really appreciated! Thanks!

Hi Georges,
Looks like this may be a hardware issue.
Can you please paste the output of following CLIs ?
show hardware
show version
show alarm history detail
Further,
how did this issue arise?Was there a power failure / abnormal shutdown / reboot of the box?
Was this unit operational when this alarm came in?
How did you came to know about this issue? And since how long this issue is going on ?
Regards.

I cannot access music manager or connect to intern...

I have a Nokia 3606, installed PC Suite, and now when I plug my phone in, using the USB cable, suddenly the Music Manager and Connect To Internet applications turn gray and will not open! I tried to call Nokia, they said to be sure I had the version 6.83. I do! It says version 6.83.20.1, Operation System: Windows XP, Build 2600, Service Pack 2, PC Connectivity Solution Version: 1.0.3.55. I saw someone in the FAQs that said this happened to him with his CDMA device. My phone is a CDMA phone too. They answered his question by saying he needed a special CDMA version of PC Suite that could be downloaded at nokia-asia.com. I went there, typed in the code, and it didn't exist. Where is this version that I need? What else can I do? I've been dealing with this for DAYS! I bought a memory card, a USB cable, and went through a bunch of trouble just so I can use the mp3 player on my phone, and I can't download music to it now! Any help would be SOOOOOO appreciated, I am extremely frustrated!! Thanx in advance!

I have found a way to get the music to the phone, but it is a pain if you don't have your media in MP3 format so far as I can tell. So I get the files in a common directory, and can put them in created directory on the D: storage, which is your memory stick. Then I just drag and drop from Explorer directory files are in, to the phones D:\My_Music\ ***Your new music files***. Meanwhile I'm looking for a solution too. I'll get back on this one with details hopefully soon. I could use the RIPPING features for more music. I've only used a very small portion of my memory. But don't want to have to go thru the hoops to convert to a usable format. If anyone has had luck using other files in this fashion, please advise... My time is limited, so I have to fit this minor, yet annoying stuff in the mix. Thanks, John G.

Cannot access Extension Manager from within Dreamweaver 2014

Any Clues

Cannot Access print-manager Interface In KDE

Hello all,
First of all, I have print manager installed. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but the problem still persists. The problem is that no matter what I do, there is no option in the System Settings app on KDE to manage printers. I realise that I can just use the CUPS interface, but that leaves a lot to be desired for me.
I have spent hours scouring the web for any information on this, and it appears that the most common reason for this problem is that people don't have print-manager installed in the first place. That is definitely not the reason I'm having the problem, however.
