  • 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,

    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.

  • 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...

    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:

  • Not able to import the data in OBIEE 11g

    Hi Gurus,
    I had just build a new development instance from scratch.
    Q1) I am getting database connnection error on the Dashboard and when i tried to update row count from physical layer it also throws me an error, as i test i tried to import but i also got an error " The connection has failed", i am able to connect thru SQL Developer. Where does OBIEE 11g look for the tnsnames.ora file.
    Q2.) Where and what setting do i need to so that i can add the users in the application roles by searching them in the EM, means the LDAP users. I had gone thru most of the stuff in the web but could not get thru.
    Regards,
    Amit

    Ans 1. This is one of the most commonly asked questions on the Forum. I hope you'd search through available posts on the Forum before creating a new discussion. In any case, this might help: http://123obi.com/2011/03/error-the-connection-has-failed-in-obiee-11g/
    Ans 2. Have you set up the integration with the LDAP provider or are you looking for help with that too? These should help:

  • OBIEE 11g on Linux - do I need a DB Client Installed???

    I have installed an 11gR2 database on an OEL Virtual Machine, and on a separate VM installed OBIEE 11.1.1.5.
    The RCU created the metadata required for BI - and out of the box, OBIEE works absolutely fine.
    Now I'm trying to migrate a database and RPD etc from another (Windows) environment... and I'm getting errors:
    "Oracle Error code: 12154, message: ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified at OCI call OCIServerAttach. [nQSError: 17014] Could not connect to Oracle database. (HY000)."
    This suggests that I need an Oracle Client installed on my OBIEE server, to enable it to connect to my DB server.
    This seems odd - as RCU has created the metadata fine, and OBIEE is obviously using it? Do I really need a client now? Please could someone explain?
    Thank you!

    Oracle client should be installed in the OBIEE machine, then add Oracle server information to tnsnames.ora file . Later copy the tnsnames.ora into OBIEE installed directory, for more information see the following link.

  • Obiee 11g upgrade issue for date format

    Hi,
    I am facing a date format issue with obiee 11g report. This statement cast(cast(current_date as char) as timestamp) is failing with "not a valid month" error in obiee 11g. This worked fine with obiee 10g.
    I am basically trying to set the date to 12:00:00 am of the sysdate. Below is what I am trying to achieve:
    timestampadd(sql_tsi_hour, 1, cast(cast(current_date as char) as timestamp)))
    the above statement fails in obiee 11g.
    Thanks for your help,
    AP

    I dont think you need any functions to get the required output, try to set the date format as below
    [FMT:timeStampShort]
    If helps mark
    Thanks
    Edited by: Srini VEERAVALLI on Apr 23, 2013 4:18 PM
    I think with format and then the below should work with no issues.
    timestampadd(sql_tsi_hour, 1,current_date)
    I think you are wasting time by posting here, just do it. You no need any ones permissions to do it ;)

  • OBIEE 11g install fails on step 7 (database connect string)

    I've currently spent 2 days trying to install OBIEE 11g on two machines (independently). This first is a Windows XP SP3 test PC running 4GB RAM, whilst the second is a Windows 2003 virtual server with 3GB RAM. The Database is Oracle 10g (10.2.0.4.0) on AIX 5.3.
    The DBA has successfully run the RCU on the Database and the schemas needed for OBIEE have been created. The BIPLATFORM schema has also been granted DBA privileges.
    Now I've tried to run both the simple and the Enterprise install for OBIEE 11g, but it always fails at the same step (step 7 of 13: Database details). I have selected the following:
    Database Type: Oracle Database
    Connect String: hostname:port:instance, where hostname is the full server path eg xxxxx.uk.com and instance name is FFADEV01
    BIPLATFORM Schema Username: As per username defined in RCU
    BIPLATFORM Schema Password: As per password entered in RCU
    If i change the connection string to FFADEV01.WORLD i get a 08031 error, whereas I am normally getting an 08035 error. The annoying thing is that I can connect to the schema using RapidSQL and the usernames and passwords as created in the RCU.
    Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks

    How was he able to install the BIPlATFORM schema using RCU on AIX? I thought RCU was only on Linux and Window platforms? I am about to install OBIEE 11.1.1.5 on AIX with a Oracle 10g DB but from what I read I wont be able to create the needed OBIEE schemas for the install because I won't be able to use the RCU on AIX. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.
