What needs to be done in OBIEE 11g when underlying data types change?

I have an SQL table that I am referencing. It contains several date fields that were varchar(8). In order to do calculations, I just cast the fields as date, and performed my calculation.
Recently, the DBA changed the fields to date type.
I did a "View Data" and "Update row count", but it seems as if OBIEE is still treating the fields as varchar fields.
What is the proper procedure in OBIEE 11g to recognize the changes that occurred in the underlying table?

Hi
In your scenario, I can suggest you can change manually to each field lengths in physical layer.
If you really looking one time fix then try to import the new table stricture into new rpd then save it then try to merge original rpd . – But it is risky process ( We have two methods, patch merge and fully repository merge).
Before doing above method take the backup original rpd and do it in your local.

My host name changes every few days, since Xmas adding a macbook its changed 6 times. Do I need to stop this? Does it cause problems with sharing between the iMac and macbook?

my host name changes every few days, since Xmas adding a macbook its changed 6 times. Do I need to stop this? Does it cause problems with sharing between the iMac and macbook?

There are several possible causes for this problem.
1. Two (or more) computers on the local network have the same Bonjour name, such as "X's-MacBook-Pro.local".
2. You have two simultaneous connections to the same local network: probably Ethernet and Wi-Fi. If applicable, disconnect the Ethernet cable or turn off Wi-Fi.
3. A Mac wakes from sleep due to network traffic. This is due to a bug in OS X that may only affect some models.
4. A device that gets its network address from the router wakes from sleep, and the address it was using before has been assigned to another device.
5. A third-party wireless router has incompatible settings or firmware. In that case, refer to the manufacturer or ISP for support. Restarting the router may help, temporarily.
6. See also this support article.
Rename the computer in the Sharing preference pane.

Installing EM12c: Installer can't find database host name....?

Hello all,
I'm trying to install EM12c. I'm near the last steps, alll requirements passed.
I have a fresh install of 11.2.0.3 database on a second host, listening for connections.
But the EM12c installer keeps error'ing out saying it cannot find the host name for the database server.
I can ping that same server name (I've quadruple checked to make sure it is right)....I've cut from the installer and pasted into a ssh session both as root and oracle user on the target GRID/EM install server...it pings just fine.
ON the database server, I've done tnsping..and it shows listener is up, I've entered valid ports and host name.
ON the target EM server, I've even entered in the /etc/hosts file...the IP and server name....still to no avail.
Any suggestions out there on what else to check? I have downloaded and using the latest EM12c install media...I downloaded it about 2x weeks ago...so, should be latest patched version.
Thanks in advance,
cayenne
ps. Sorry...both EM and database server are on RHEL5 These are VMWare VMs....

Change of database host name

Hi,
Recently we moved our database servers from IBM to exadata. This caused change in the host name of database. For this we reconfigured all the EPM (11.1.2.2) applications with new host name (with option to reuse existing tables). While reconfiguring we created new instance and new domain and configured everything in new domain, keeping old instance and domain untouched. However now when we log into HFM we are not able to see any applications nor any data.
Please suggest what to do?
Thanks in advance.

The process for rehosting a database is outlined at :
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E40248_01/epm.1112/epm_deployment_options/ch04s03s02.html
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E40248_01/epm.1112/epm_deployment_options/ch04s03s03.html
There is no need to create a new epm instance and weblogic domain
Cheers

Host name changed on server after router reboot?

I recently installed a new router and when I started my Mac Pro the server (10.7.5) Serverwould not respond and I received an error message stating the host name has changed on my server. I can not recall what I did nut I got the server working. I had to reboot teh router again and have received the following email:
From: [email protected] (System Administrator)
Subject: Network change notification for discussion.pharmweb.net
Date: 26 January 2013 12:48:52 GMT
To: [email protected]
The host name of discussion.pharmweb.net has changed to discussion.lan. Some services may not work correctly until they have been updated to use the new configuration.
I can not get the server to respond to web requests and am not sure what to change, Sharing is showing my local hostname as discussion.local
Help...

Are you sure it wasn't just the server's LAN IP that changed?
Is it set to Manual ?
If your server is behing a router with a NAT address, then a change in the public IP shouldn't have caused that error. I bet your LAN IP changed and now you don't have port mapping correct. pherhaps the public IP changed also, but my money is on the LAN address.
If its the LAN address, there is no point waiting for the ISP.
Set it back to the address it used before and make sure the router provides NAT with port mapping to that address.
Thats all in your control, not the ISP.

Table in the Database will be changed, what is impact

Hi, I'm new to the Forum.
We have a multiple reports build in the multiple Business arias, One of the Tables in the Database will be changed. My question is what is the best way to use EUL5 to see what impact it will make. I will appreciate any advise.

When you say one of the tables in the database will be changed, do you mean columns will be added, or are some columns going away, column names changing, tablename changing or what?
If the table is just getting some new columns added, then no problem. Your existing reports will still be fine and when you perform a refresh on the business area where the folder is pointing to your table, it will just pick up the new items.
If columns are going away, then your reports will get an error if they refer to that column name via the folder. You can do a kludge to cover this for the short term. In the folder in Admin, you can add a calculation with the exact same name as the column that's going away. Then - if it's a character - put in some kind of striking phrase like 'Russ Was Here'. Then when the existing reports are run, you'll see the phrase and know you just have to delete it from the report. Once all gone from all reports - you can delete the condition from the folder.
Hopefully you can see the reliance on the Discoverer folder having to have a non-changing table. The easier thing to do for the future - is to create a database view that points to the table. Then if the table changes in ANY way (well, except from being deleted altogether with no replacement table), you can always fix the view to return proper data and as your Disco folder is pointing to the view, nothing changes.
Hey this is what NoetixViews does, what BIS view do, etc. - it's IMHO the best way to go for future development.

Host Name Changes?

Frequentlly, we get "this computer's local host name on the network is changed to 1234567654-1 because it determines that the original host name "is already in use." This doesn't make network peripherals and communication between our two computers very easy because we need to constantly change it in Sharing to share the printer etc... . When we get the notice, we change the name (number) back to the original and it seems fine for awhile and then returns...
I can find no apparent cause?
Thanks!

I've had the same or a similar issue. My computer was constantly renaming itself with a (2) every time it booted, after a system lockup. I tracked the issue down to CD/DVD sharing... when turned off the problem went away.
When CD/DVD sharing was on, I could not change the name back to the original version, it would get rejected and immediately set back to the version with "(2)", displaying the message:
+The name of your computer "Name" is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to "Name (2)" automatically.+
With CD/DVD sharing turned off, I could name my computer whatever I liked, even back to the original name. Turning DVD/CD sharing back on again would instantly rename my Mac. It's very persistent bug!
Fortunately I found a fix. I was able to get rid of the problem by toggling Bonjour, as described here:
http://tech.karbassi.com/2007/11/06/leopard-turn-off-bonjour-mdnsresponder/
To turn Bonjour off:
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist
To turn it back on:
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist
Toggling Bonjour (mDNSResponder) forced a reset of something on my system somewhere, and now I no longer see the issue on reboot, even with CD/DVD sharing turned on. I can turn sharing on and off at will, and my computer is never renamed. Success!
I don't think this problem has to do with CD/DVD sharing specifically... I think it's a bug in Bonjour. I've seen threads where people have complained about this issue because of printer sharing, or remote management! My guess is that a crash can cause a mDNSResponder config corruption, tricking Bonjour to share devices or services using the same name as your computer, forcing the name conflict.
In any case, I hope this fix works for you too. I know I'm a lot happier now that there isn't a lingering issue on my box!

Host name change

Hi,
We are in the process of migrating our production system and we may have to change the host name. Is there any way we can convert all the host name entries to the new host name like we do for logical system change using 'BDLS'.
Regards,
Krishna.

Hi,
There is no way out... Unlike BDLS where you can replace the new Logical system name and make the changes at 1 go, you cannot change the configurations with the new host name in 1 step. It needs to be done manually.

I got a message "host name ---already in use on this network. The name has been changed to ---", then directs me to go into preferences to edit it. Is this legit???

Need Guidence in Installation of OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I am installing OBIEE 11g on stand alone m/c(WindowsXP 32Bit).
I have installed Oracle DB 11g on the same machine and now trying to create repository by repository creataion utility.
I have given hostname : localhost, port : 1521
I am getting error i.e
"Unable to connect to the database using the provided details.
Please enter a valid hostname and port or check if the listener is up and running., "
Can anybody guide me, where i went wrong?
Thanks,
Dharmendra.

hi,
Please enter a valid hostname and port or check if the listener is up and runningCheck if the service name and host name is correct or not and sometimes it would be case sensitive.It is saying listener should be up and running.

Need help with opatch for OBIEE 11g

I'm running into some more of Oracle's typical gibberish and poorly written documentation, and need some help patching OBIEE 11g.
I'm TRYING to follow the instructions here:
https://updates.oracle.com/Orion/Services/download?type=readme&aru=13160647
So, let's see. How about step 2:
For FMW Opatch usage, please refer the doc at :
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/files/fmw_opatch.htm
Well, that IP address automatically redirects to the general download page:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/indexes/downloads/index.html
Nice.
So, let's try this doc:
http://docs.tpu.ru/docs/oracle/en/owl/E14571_01/doc.1111/e16793/opatch.htm#CBHDEGBJ
Section 2.3.2, "Patching a Fusion Middleware Product"
Quoting: "Once you obtain the patch, determine the Oracle home directory to which you are going to apply the patch....If you do not know the name of your Oracle home, you should run the opatch lshomes command as described in Section 2.4.6, "Listing the Applicable Oracle Homes for a Patch" to obtain a list of Oracle homes that pertain to the domain."
So let's see, I've got two OPATCH.BAT files, one in c:\mw_home1\Oracle_BI1=OPatch\, and the other in c:\mw_home1\oracle_common\OPatch\.
I open a command window, CD to one of those paths, and run opatch lshomes. I get this error:
"The Oracle Home C:\mw_home1 is not OUI based home. Please give proper Oracle Home. OPatch returns with error code = 1. OPatch failed with error code = 1"
Same results for the other opatch.bat in the other directory.
Besides the atrocious grammar, this error message is not helpful in the least. I'm trying to patch OBIEE 11g, which is installed in c:\mw_home1. What else is opatch wanting?

Yes, the error message is misleading. It should say something like "Environment variable ORALCE_HOME has not been set or set incorrectly".
Here is how I solved the problem on a Windows Oracle Fusion Middleware SOA installation. The SOA installation already comes with OPatch installed. In my case it is located in D:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_SOA1\OPatch. On a command prompt, I set the environment variable ORACLE_HOME like this
set ORACLE_HOME=D:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_SOA1
and the CLASSPATH variable like this
set classpath=
The latter prevents opatch from loading classes it does not need and throwing java.lang.ClassNotFoundException. Also notice ORACLE_HOME does not point to D:\Oracle\Middleware but D:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_SOA1. I made a mistake by setting ORACLE_HOME to D:\Oracle\Middleware kept getting:
"Recommended actions: Please make sure no other OPatch or OUI processes is running. Try to run $ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin/runInstsaller.
OPatch failed with error code = 20"
I wasted a lot of time trying to figure out what went wrong.

Ports that need to be Opened for OBIEE 11g Installation on Solaris Box

What ports need to be opened by the systems admin on a solaris box to start OBIEE 11g installation

There is lot difference what you said now and in your initial post...
For outside communication means? you want to access BI outside the network using url?
in that case is it not weblogic port? check with your network guys they'll take care of it.
if you are looking for network with other systems internally then you may/have to open as per that link.
hope this helps
