Document for OBIEE 11g services

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement wherein we need to run the OBIEE 11g services(Weblogic server and node manager) in background in AIX instance. If anyone has a document or step by step procedure for that, please share it.
Thanks in Advance.
Raghu

Hey guys..
I got solution for the above post from my ofc Techhelp. Below is the proceedure to start the Obiee11g services on background-AIX.
Consider the below steps to run the services in background.
To start the Weblogic Server:
Go to the below directory location
$OBIEE_HOME /user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain
Command:
$nohup sh ./startWebLogic.sh -Dweblogic.management.username=weblogic -Dweblogic.management.password=<Password> > wls_start.log &
$tail –f wls_start.log
To start the Node Manager:
Go to the below directory location
$OBIEE_HOME/wlserver_10.3/server/bin
Command:
$nohup ./nodemanager.sh &
To Start OPMNCTL:
Go to the below directory location
$OBIEE_HOME /instances/instanceN/bin
Command:
./opmnctl startall
./opmnctl stopall
./opmnctl status
Thanks,
Raghu Nagadasari

Running OBIEE 11g services for Linux

Hi everybody,
I would like to know the way to start OBIEE 11g services in a Linux (Red Hat) machine.
As far as I have seen in the web, there are four main steps to perform in order to make OBIEE running:
Run WebLogic.
Run NodeManager.
Run ManagedServer.
Run OBI Components (using OPMN).
The problem I have is that in our installation there is no ManagedServer (bi_server1). Therefore I deduce that OBIEE was installed as simple version (actually I don’t know where I can see whether it is simple or enterprise version). So the question in my case is: how to run OBIEE services without ManagedServer? Otherwise, is there any way to upgrade from simple to enterprise version, or I should just uninstall and then install the enterprise version?
Thanks in advance,
Hibai.

Thanks for the reply Sasi. Now I know that we have a Simple Installation.
Anyway, I'm still not able to make OBIEE available. If I execute the commands you provided me, I see some errors in corresponding created files. However, running them without nohup option and without any other parameter (just the .sh file), WebLogic appears available and OBI components seem to be running as well:
Processes in Instance: instance1
---------------------------------+--------------------+---------+---------
ias-component                    | process-type       |     pid | status

coreapplication_obis1            | OracleBIServerCom~ |   11311 | Alive
Am I doing something wrong? In principle the steps you mentioned (which are also those ones that I was executing the previous days) have been executed properly, so I'm a bit confused.
Thanks again,
Hibai.

Shell script for running obiee 11g services in linux

Hi
We have a requirement to create a shell script inorder to run OBIEE 11G services in Linux OS. It would be very helpful and greatly appreciated if any pointer(s)/documentation on this is provided.
Thanks

we had run the scripts using nohup "nohup ./startWeblogicServer.sh &" and reopened putty to run other nodemanager and opmnctl scripts, now everything has started and working fine.
Thanks all..

Windows Services for OBIEE 11G

Hi Guy's..
I have successfully installed OBIEE 11G Enterprise Edition and able to access OBIEE 11G via http://localhost:9704/analytics/saw.dll?bieehome&startPage=1 by only starting the 'Start BI Services'.
The issue what i am facing is OBIEE 11G is only opening/accessible when i logged in to server( Starting the 'Start BI Services').Once i logout then unable to login to OBIEE11G via above link.
Can any one tell me i am missing with any install/configuration steps in installing the OBIEE11G? Please guide to the chapter in documentation..
If not then why OBIEE 11G software is built with out included with Windows Services.
I mean 'OBIEE 11G Services' have to always running with out dependencies on 'User Logged In or not',My objective is to make OBIEE 11G always up and running..

Hi,
Given below is the status..
D:\OBIEE11117\instances\instance0\bin>opmnctl status
Processes in Instance: instance0
--------------------------------------------------------------+---------
ias-component | process-type | pid | status
--------------------------------------------------------------+---------

coreapplication_obips1 | OracleBIPresentat~ | 3652 | Alive
coreapplication_obis1 | OracleBIServerCom~ | 3796 | Alive
Even though every thing is alive,but still i am not able to access the OBIEE.
If i run 'Start BI Services' then only i am able to access the OBIEE11.1.1.7.

How to create a second OracleBIApplication in WebLogic for OBIEE 11g?

I want to create a second OracleBIApplication in WebLogic for OBIEE 11g. The default one is called "coreapplication". I can create a new one but it doesn't show up in Enterprise Manager. Anyone can help?

I have been trying to create a second OracleBIApplicatino in WebLogic for OBIEE 11g without success. I don't want to end up installing it twice as it is going to consume a lot of resources and also because I want to have a single WebLogic Domain. Has anyone faced the same situation?
What about deploying the "analytics" web application as a new web application with a different context-root (e.g. analytics_test)? I am also trying but I can't make it work. Anyone available to help?

Installing Repository Creation Utility (RCU) for OBIEE 11g

Hello,
We are working on installing the Oracle Business Intelligence Entreprise Edition Plus 11g (v 11.1.1.6.0) for a POC in our Company's network.
We have to install the OBI Server and other server-side components on a IBM AIX (64-Bit) server; and the client tools on the local Desktops.
My queries:
*1. I am downloading the following softwares for this setup. Please help me understand is this the complete list of softwares required, or are there any more softwares required for OBIEE 11g intallation?*
List of softwares to be downloaded:
1) Oracle Business Intelligence, v. 11.1.1.6.0
- for AIX (64-Bit):
Disk 1 (1of2) (1.4G) (cksum 4182440856)
Disk 1 (2of2) (1.5G) (cksum 2020935297)
Disk 2 (1of2) (1.7G) (cksum 796853559)
Disk 2 (2of2) (1.3G) (cksum 685152953)
Disk 3 (1.6G) (cksum 1431984641)
2) Repository Creation Utility (11.1.1.6.0)
for Microsoft Windows (32-bit) (320M) (cksum 2503314275) OR for Linux x86 (32-bit) (391M) (cksum 201758785)
Link for (1) and (2): http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-enterprise-edition/downloads/bi-downloads-1525270.html
3) Oracle Business Intelligence Developer Client Tools Installer (11.1.1.6.0)
- for Microsoft Windows x86 (32/64-bit): (360M) (cksum 3317017977)
Link for (3): http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-enterprise-edition/downloads/bus-intelligence-11g-165436.html
NOTE: The JDK 1.5.0 is installed
*2. Where should the additional required software 'Repository Creation Utility' be installed in this case?*
I can see it is available for 32-bit OS (Windows or Linux x86), and that is why I suspect it to be a client-side software - which is to be installed on my local desktop. Hence, Can I download the Repository Creation Utility (11.1.1.6.0) for Microsoft Windows (32-bit) (320M) (cksum 2503314275)
Please clarify.
*4. I will not be installing any of the Oracle BI Applications, so will I require the software Oracle Business Intelligence Data Warehouse Administration Console (10.1.3.4.1)?*
I assume NO.
*5. IMP: Is there a Web server (E.g. Oracle WebLogic Server) included in the OBIEE suite, which gets installed in the default installation settings?*
OR Is there a need to download and install a separate Webserver on the AIX system before installing OBIEE.
Please reply ASAP.
Thanks,
Shweta.

Although it is a POC, but the installation has to be done on a AIX6.1 remote system, which will be used as a server in the enterprise, with 5 to 7 people accessing it. So 'simple install' is not suitable in this case.
The AIX6.1 system has a JDK 6 (64 bit).
I understand that the OBIEE 11g suite comes with a Oracle WebLogic Server (OWLS) installable included in the suite. However, in case of Software Only installation type, the OWLS needs to installed first and then the installer has to be started in 'Softwar Only' mode.
Could anyone please suggest:
*1) does 'Enterprise Install' type suite on the AIX6.1 system? If yes, does it mean that it will install JDK once again? is this recommended, as the host system is a shared server and the existing JDK 6 (64-bit) can be in use by other applications on this system.*
*2) If (1) is not true, is there a way to install the Oracle WebLogic server using the OBIEE 11g installer itself? or do I need to download the WebLogic server installer separately from the OTN site?*
Thanks in advance for any helping pointers on the above.
Please reply ASAP, as this is urgent.
Thanks,

Does anyone have the hardware and system requirements for OBIEE 11g? I'm trying to procure hardware for an internal environment but want to make sure that the system requirements have not changed significantly from 10g.
Can anyone share this information? It would be greatly appreciated. I know 11g is not out yet but trying to get a headstart on ordering hardware in preparation.

I don't think there will be any major changes in the hardware side of things. Basically anything that was able to run 10g should be able to run 11g. They will probably add support for newer software components which normally happens at each release.

Auto start BI Services for OBIEE 11G

Hi,
We have installed OBIEE 11.1.1.7 on Windows 2008 64 bit operating system and we have restarted the server after successful install.
Now the issue is OBIEE is not accessible after reboot,it is running only if i run the Start BI Services under All Programs --> Oracle Business Intelligence --> Start BI Services and
this not accessible once i log off from the server.
I don't want very time login and start the obiee using all programs,instead i want to install a Windows service that will all run the BI Services,so that Users can access the OBIEE independent of
my login.
I tried many times installing the services for Admin and BI Server but even though the services are install/running successfully,but still not able to access the OBIEE URL.

Error while exporting to PDF document in OBIEE 11g

Hi
In OBIEE 11g we are facing an issue regarding exporting a few reports to pdf. It is resulting in following error: "Error generating PDF document".
The reports are placed on a dashboard which has a prompt too. However, when we remove the prompts, the export is working fine.
We will really appreciate any help in this regard.
Thanks.

Hi,
Looks like this is a sort of known bug with PDF creator in 11g. Try implementing the below solution:
To configure the Javahost service, edit the Javahost service configuration parameters in the
instanceconfig.xml file. The parameters are
identified by their relative path starting from the /WebConfig/ServerInstance node
For example:
<JavaHost>
<PDF>
<InputStreamLimitInKB>50000</InputStreamLimitInKB>
</PDF>
</JavaHost>
After changes restart Siebel Analytics Java Host and Siebel Analytics Web services
If it doesn't work try to create same report in xml publisher as presentations services in obiee has limited capacities in printing out reports.
Refer to this thread for related useful information: Error in creating a PDF
Hope it helps.
Thanks,
-Amith.

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.

Oracle EBS Discoverer as a data source for OBIEE 11g

We are a heavy user of Discoverer workbooks with Oracle EBS. We're moving to OBIEE 11g(11.1.1.3) and have an RPD with both 3rd party and custom content.
I wanted to ask the experts here how I can leverage my Discoverer investment with out a lot of re-work in OBIEE. I briefly looked at the MigrateEUL.exe and it says it can move an EUL to an RPD, but talks about some limitations for complex EULs such as an EBS Apps EUL. Even if it created an RPD, I'm not sure how I can merge my current RPD and this newly gen'd RPD.
I also heard from someone that there is a way to setup Discoverer EUL as a standard data source in OBIEE 11g and consume it directly. I'm looking for a document or blog that explains these steps. Any pointers or experiences with the above is appreciated!!
Thanks.

Hi,
For some more details, you can refer to the following document;
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/discoverer/discoverer-metadata-conversion-assi-128504.pdf
My personal expreriences:
The Metadata Conversion Utility is an accellerator / assistant. It does not provide you with an end product. There is some additional handwork requiered. It could be a risk when you copy an old Oracle Discoverer environment. Shit in is shit out. Last but not least; There is not yet a workbook migration utility.

Startup/Shutdown script for OBIEE 11g on Linux

Hi all,
as a follow-up to [url http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=4546010]an earlier thread by some fine gentleman, I have improved the original startup/shutdown script for Linux a bit, making sure that all processes are handled correctly. The script has been tested and works fine on CentOS 5.5 with Oracle BI 11.1.1.3.0 in a clustered configuration. Instructions:
Manual start/stop:
> service obiee start
> service obiee stop
> service obiee status
Automatic start/stop during boot sequence:
> chkconfig --add obiee
> chkconfig obiee on
Note that in order for the procedure to go through smoothly, you need to provide the admin credentials (username/password, defaulting to weblogic/weblogic) in three different places:
1. In configuration file <FMW_HOME>/user_projects/domains/<domain name>/servers/AdminServer/security/boot.properties for the administration server;
2. In script <FMW_HOME>/user_projects/domains/<domain name>/bin/startManagedWebLogic.sh (variables WLS_USER and WLS_PW) for the managed server;
3. In the startup script itself (variables BIEE_USER and BIEE_PASSWD) for shutting down the managed server.
Complete logs are available in /var/log/obiee-start (-stop).log files.

Chris

You can use WLST to start/stop BI Services and it works on both Linux and Windows.

Need Single Billing Document for Materials and Services in Sales Order

Hello Friends,
I am selling FERT items and DIEN items in the Sales Order.
Document flow as follows:
Finished goods - Order-Delivery-Billing
Services - Order-Billing
In this process 2 seperate billing documents are created
i. Delivery Related Billing document for Finished goods.
ii. Order related Billing document for services.
I want to create a single billing document for both the items (FG & Services) in the sales order.
Please suggest.
Thnx.

Sorry for the delay friends.
Somebody suggested me to make services 'relevant for delivery' to ensure single billing document.
What I did were the following steps:
1. Copy Item Category TAD to ZTAD and make is 'relevant foir delivery'
2. Assign Item Category ZTAD to Sales Order type and Item Cat Group 'LEIS'
3. Go to Deliveries Item Categories and through new Entries add ZTAD. Make ZTAD relevant for Picking.
4. Go to copy control 'Order to Delivery' and insert ZTAD in Item Categories relevant for this combination.
Now when I create sales order with materials and services, they pass over to the delivery document and in the Services item, storage location/plant is greyed out. Only the picking quantity is required to be filled.
PROBLEM :
I am not getting the price of Services item in the billing document.
Billing document copies all line items (tangible and intangible) from Delivery Document
It takes the services item details/quantities etc. to VF01 but the price comes '00.00'
Any suggestions.
Is this legally viable? Someone told me its not legally correct.
Thanks.
Mohammed
