Connection Failed in OBIEE 11g Admin tool

Hi,
I have virtual image V305 of OBIEE on linux x86-64. It is working fine but I was not able to access Admintool from linux m/c.
So I have installed OBIEE 11g client on windows XP. It is showing all the subject area & tables. But when I am importing any table from my DB, it is giving error "Connection has failed". I have done tnsname.Ora file in both folder Oracle client & OBIEE client
Please help me as soon as possible.
Thanks

I've found a work around for using tnsnames:
put the following string in "Data Source" and it works
(DESCRIPTION =(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <your host>)(PORT = 1521))(CONNECT_DATA =(SERVER = DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME = <your database>)))
Can you please refer below links for more methods.

Not able to update row count in Physical Layer..connection failed in OBIEE 11g

Hi Guys,
I am not able to do Update Row count in the Physical Layer, i am getting an error The Connection has failed. This is in OBIEE 11g Linux env.
I have put the tnsnames.ora file in the below path:
/*****/pkgs/linux/intel/OBIEE_DIT/MW_HOME/Oracle_BI1/network/admin/
I do not have admin under
/****/pkgs/linux/intel/OBIEE_DIT/MW_HOME/oracle_common/network/
But if i put the whole TNS entry in the Data Source Name i am able to connect:
(DESCRIPTION =(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL= TCP) (HOST= xxx.xxx.com) (PORT= 1671))(CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = US1OBIEE)))
I am not able to understand the issue..
Thanks,
Amit

Looks like rpd is looking for local tns config... try to use as hostname:port/ServiceName
This should work, just in case not working! stop doing so since it is know issue.

Cannot Connect to new Installation with Admin Tool

Have installed BPC 7.5 SP4 Patch 4 on Windows 2008 64-bit. App/Web Server on one machine, SQL Server 2008 on 2nd machine,
Everything seems fine except access via servername - servername used in all the settings.
When trying to access the Administration to start installing new appsets, connect using ip address in admin tool and login using the software install user but will not verify user name/password.
Does anyone have any idea of the issue?
thanks
Lesley

In that case, I'd suggest you make sure both ethernet ports are unplugged from the RAID, power it off and on, plug a cable directly from a laptop to the RAID, set the IP of your laptop to 169.264.11.11 with subnet mask 255.255.0.0, then do "ping 255.255.255.255" and you should see a response from the IP address used by the RAID.
This question is very common here... there are other threads where I've answered this so I won't clarify further here.

Thanks in advanceIf you restart the service the problem would resolve but every time its not a good idea to bounce the services the problem is with cache/queries stores in nqquery.log have a script to clear the cache files periodically
upgrade to 11.1.1.6.2 the problem is fixed

Unable to import metadata using OBI 11g Admin tool

Hello folks,
I am new to OBI. I am trying to build a RPD. For that purpose I am trying to import some tables from database but I am unable to. I created DSN and also tried using OCI but no help. The OBI Admin tool client and database is installed under other user's account. Is that the reason I am unable to import tables?
I am getting this error:
Internal Error-Unable to initialize NLS during driver load - When I try to use ODBC &
Connection failed --When I try to use OCI.
Can someone shed some light on this issue.
Thanks,
Edited by: 950330 on Jan 21, 2013 11:17 AM

Use Call Interface: Default (OCI 10g/11g)
Data source Name->hostname:port/ServiceName or TNS name
like
localhost:1521/XE
make sure you able to ping connect the database using tnsentry or
tnsping <tnsname>
from command prompt.
Let me know for issues if helps pls mark

Fail installing OBIEE 11g on Oracle Linux 5 64 bits

Hello,
I am trying to install OBIEE 11g over Oracle Linux 5 (64 bits), but I can't. I have the following issue:
INST-07008: Validation of Oracle Home location failed. User does not have permission to create home/instance location
INST-07282: Specified Middleware home location does not exist
In the Oracle Middleware Home, I have specified "/root/Oracle/Middleware".
I have following these steps:
1) Install Oracle DB 11g R2 (OK)
2) Install jdk for Linux 64 bits (OK)
3) Install weblogic
I have done the installation as "root" user
Middleware Home Directory = /root/oracle/Middleware (OK)
4) Install RCU as root (OK)
5) Install OBI 11g
To execute ./runInstaller it is necessary be as oracle user.
I have changed permissions in /root/Oracle/Middleware (chmod 777), but the issue is the same.
I appreciate any idea to solve the issue.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Monica.

Hello,
no, I have installed OBIEE as oracle user with software only option, with root isn't possible.
So, I don't know if it is necessary I installed WebLogic as oracle user to have permission in middleware path...
Regards.

Authentication failed in obiee 11g

Hi All,
Error:
On the login screen I am getting a message as:
Unable to Sign in
An error occured during authentication.
Try again later or contact your system administrator.
Solution applied but did not work:
1) Using GUID to refresh the web catalog
2) Renaming the .atr file in systems\security\users\188 folder
Question: How do I update my web catalog to recognize me with my new name?
The actual error message from sawlog.log file:

Connection failed in OBIEE 11g

Open and connect in OBI 11.1.1.5 admin tool fowwoling OBE Upgrade

I installed OBI11.1.1.5 on Redhat 5.2 and the admin tool on a windows. In this two machine I have OBI 10 server and admin tool installed as well. The OBI 11 components are all up running as I can access them such as EM and represention service.
Following OBEhttp://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/fmw/bi/bi11115/upgrade/upgrade_to_11g.htm?print=preview#t3 .I upgraded our 10g rpd and catalog and see the repository saved in instance_home, and verified that the default is RPD sh20110903_BI002.
Next step in the OBE, I verify Reposiotory Metadata. I launched the admin tool, opened inline. In the generated dialog box, I entered the password in defined in the update script as Repository Password, and used weblogic login in User/Password. All other fields are blank. That is all I can do in the dialog box, but the Open buttone is always grey. I think at least one available repository should be listed in the list box at the bottom, but it was empty.
Then I tried to create a new repository. In step 2 Select Data Source, I choose ODBC 3.5 and use a valid system DSN, but got Error : The connection has failed.
I tried also use Connection Type OCI 10g/11g. IN the Data Source Name I used a valid netservice name defined in a Oracle client's Oracle_HOME. But still got Error : The connection has failed.
Questions
1) How can make the Open button active in the Open inline RPD dialog box?
2) Why the valid System DSN failed to connect in 11g admin tool. It is OK in 10g admin tool and ODBC configure
3) How to make Admin Too; sees the tnsnames definition. Should I copy the tnsnames.ora file to somewhere under Admin Tool installation directory?
Many thanks.

Thanks. The post appares make sense. I opened my user.sh file and has 2 questions:
1) There are 32bit section and 64 bit section, and it states that 32 bit server must work with 32 bit client, so is for 64 bit. In my case, the clients are most likely 32 bit windows (browsers and admin tool), but the server is installed on Redhat 64 bit. Is this a problem? How do I know if my OBIEE iis running 64 or 32 bit?
2) All entries in the user.sh file are commented out. Then what file is used to in the current OBI11, it is started automatically after the installation.

Unable to connect to DB from OBIEE 11G

Hello experts
I have successfully installed OBIEE 11G on my Linux machine.. On Windows machine I have installed the client tool. Both are version 11.1.1.7.0.
I have my Tnsname.ora file saved in both Oracle_Home/network/Admin as well as OBIEE/Oracle_BI1/Network/Admin folder..
Now my DB is on a different linux machine, so my TNSname file has the correct entry for that..
I am able to connect to the DB from my OBIEE server machine through Putty by doing : sqlplus username/password@instance
However, from OBIEE side, I am not able to update rowcounts nor viewing reports..
From RPD side, I am getting errors: The connection has failed,
From report:

Obiee admin tool with Windows 8

Hi,
is there way to run obiee client admin tool under windows 8?
thanks

This installation will be logged here : \Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs\ check if its error'ing out or trace files will be helping.
No GUI when you running the runinstaller.exe and admin and compatible mode ? BTW What is your OS, Java and System config's
Also read through : http://techforum4u.com/entry.php/3498-Solution-For-quot-OBIEE-11-1-1-6-Installation-Fails-or-Hangs-At-Configuration-Progress-Step-quot
I have not installed or tried installing on Windows 8 so i would say may be installing a oracle vm with downgraded os version of windows 7/below and run the OBI client installation or wait until Oracle releases a supported installer version.

Restrict OBIEE developers to login into OBIEE admin tool withAdministrator

I have developers with their own id's but with admin role assigned to them and If I remove the admin role from their id's they cannot login into OBIEE via admin tool in online mode to make any changes to the RPD.
Q is) Developers make changes to the rpd file in online mode but at the same time I dont want them to have the admin privileges like making changes to the security/connection pool entries so on. But they can make changes to the presentation layer or business model. If I remove the administrator role from their id's they cannot even open the rpd in online mode i.e they can't even login. How do I give the developers the control they need and at the same time lock down the admin related stuff from changes?
Also they cannot make the changes offline and they need to login and open the rpd online.

Hi,
I think you can resolve this issue, by setting up a different application role for all of your developers (yes, with BIAdministrator privileges too). However, in the .rpd you could restrict the access to this role to the physical layer. Briefly, the steps are below
1. Set up a new application role.
2. In the .rpd Manage Identity -> application roles -> New role -> Properties -> Permissions -> Object Permissions.
3. Set 'No Access' to all of your physical layer objects.
Hope this is what you are looking for.
Thank you,
Dhar
