Imp / Exp Repository in Administration tool

Hi all,
As I am newly starting on Oracle BI. and phasing so many question before setting environment for our development.
here is one senario as we are having three different server each for development, testing and production.
If some request comes which requires to create new objects ( i.e. Logical table, logical Column, Calculated Column etc.) or cahnges in existsing objects which we are doing in development server amd then want to shift them to testing server for testing them.
Once all those objects were tested successfully then we want to shift them into our production server.
Could you please help me out to find any way to move only those changes from one server to othe server without affecting other objects?

You can Use the merge functionality to do this
From a dummy RPD location go to
File->merge. It will ask for the Ordinal RPD loc and modified RPD location and Target RPD location
Enter The. U can compare the changes in the window that opens.
Click Merge. The RPD's Merge, following some specified rules.
U r new RPD would be ready
Back up all data before any operation ....else u know.... what........
Regards,
RVenkat

Problem with opening repository in Administration Tool

Hello!
I have a problem when I want to open saved repository in Administration Tool.
I've saved uncompleted repository (without Presentation Layer) in offline mode (BI Server was stopped all the time) and then I've closed A. Tool.
BI Server was stopped all the time.
And now when I want to open my saved repository in offline mode, A. Tool asked me password of user Administrator. I typed password but logon failed. I am sure that password is correct because when I try to open another repositoy with the same user and password, repository will open.
What can I do to open my repository?
Thnx!

What can I do to open my repository?Type the correct Administrator password. Otherwise try with another RPD user which is also memger of the Administrators group.

Can not use repository administration tool

Hello,
I'm a newby at Oracle Designer and I have a problem create a repository for Oracle Designer.
On my computer I have installed the following software:
x Java SDK & JRE 6
x Oracle Database 10g R2
x Oracle Designer 10.
While I'm installing Oracle Designer the OUI says that it can't find Java JRE but the installation completes.
If I want to use Designer with the hr-schema it says I have to create a repository for the user hr.
If I want to open the repository administration tool nothing happens nothing. If I want to open the repository command line tool it says that it can't find ORACLE_HOME but I have set the environment variable ORACLE_HOME to the database home c:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1.
I presume that I have to install the complet Developer Suite. Is this correct or does anybody know the answer?
Please Help me!
Thanks to everybody.

Yes you have to install the complete Developer suite for Windows. Then you will need to install a repository on an existing database.
Here are some quick instructions on doing that:
After you install the IDS 10G in a new oracle home on the Client windows PC you will find the intall manual under:
start - programs- Oracle Developer Suite - Designer documentation - Repository instalation Guide
The following are the step I use to build a new repository
You will need to set paths and names as you desire for your local PCs and repostiory.

Step 5b - (Oracle 9i or 10.2 DB) Install Oracle 9i or 10.2 Import and Export Utilities
Before installing Designer Repository on an Oracle 9i or 10.2 database, you need to set up the installation workstation to use the Oracle 9i or 10.2 import and export utilities. To do so, perform the following steps at the workstation from which you will be running the repository installation:
From the Oracle 9i or 10.2 installation media, install the Oracle 9i or 10.2 import and export utilities in a dedicated Oracle home.
In the Windows Registry, locate the key named:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\KEY_HomeName\REPOS61
where HOMEn is the home number of the home installed into for a multiple Oracle home environment, but is not present where the default Oracle home is being used.
Change the value of the EXECUTE_IMPORT and EXECUTE_EXPORT variables to point to the new Oracle home. Thus, if the new Oracle home is d:\des_9i, the settings would be:
d:\des_9i\bin\exp.exe
d:\des_9i\bin\imp.exe
-- Step 6
Log on to the Repository Admin Utility of Designer
start - programs- Oracle Developer Suite - Designer - Repository Admin Utility
Install Repository button
Make sure both check boxes are checked(one is grayed out) Next
Select the proper tablespace for the seletced box
Start the install.
Hope this helps.

The connection has failed while creating a New Repository using Oracle BI 11g Administration Tool

hi
In the BI Administration Tool when i try to create a “New Repository…” faced The connection has failed I try all of these solutions but dident work..
1-configured my “System DSN"
2-enter “TNS_ADMIN” for the “Variable Name” field and for the “Variable Value” enter the location of my OBIEE
3-copy the sqlnet and tnsnames.ora files into E:\obiee11gtmt\Oracle_BI1\network\admin and E:\obiee11gtmt\oracle_common\network\admin
4- put this in DSN with connection type OCI 10g/11g (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = IP Addr)(PORT = 1521)) ) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = ORCL) ))
please help me
regard

1.Place tnsnames.ora file in the following paths,
E:\obiee11gtmt\oracle_common\network\
E:\obiee11gtmt\Oracle_BI1\network\admin
2.Navigate to
E:\obiee11gtmt\instances\instance1\bifoundation\OracleBIApplication\coreapplication\setup\
Open user.sh file in a notepad
Set Tns_names paths as shown below with your tnsnames.ora file’s location,
set TNS_ADMIN=C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\NETWORK\ADMIN
The above path is of your installed Database tnsnames.ora file
I guess you didnt do this step. This will solve your issue.
Restart all the services

Cannot connect online from administration tool to repository

Hi everyone,
I am still a beginner with BI so there may be a misunderstanding.
I installed the BI developer client tools on a different host than the BI server.
I tried to work through the BI tutorial, creating a repository file on the client host and uploading it to the server.
Now I want to connect online to it, but in the dialog of the administration tool, the button for actually opening the repository is greyed out. I can provide the repository name, user and password, but nothing.
The documentation says I should select the ODBC system DSN for connecting to the repository, but the dialog does not offer me one.
I created an ODBC system DSN to the BI server upon installation of the client tools, and the test works fine.
I did create it using the ODBC driver of an Oracle client installation. The BI client tools themselves do not seem to install its own ODBC driver.
Why is this system DSN not provided in the administration tool dialog?
Where am I failing?
(everything, BI client tools, BI server, Oracle ODBC driver is 11g)
Best regards,
Jörg

Ok, solution found.
The error, as always, was sitting in front of the screen.
First, working with Window-7-64, I did not realize there are two different ODBC administration panels. The one in the control panel open with the 64bit-ODBC drivers, the one used by the BI client tools is called in C:\Windows\SysWOW64
Second, I did not configure the DSN correctly. I always wondered how it would now on which host the BI server resides and overlooked the server text field several times. (Luckily I will receive a new pair of glasses next week).
Now it is working fine.
Best regards,
Jörg

OBIEE BI Administration Tool not able to connect to the Repository

I have my OBIEE BI server installed on a Linux server and have installed BI Client Tools on my PC which I will be using for development purposes. I have installed BI Administration Tool on my PC but I can not connect to the database.
I'm getting an error nQsError: 46029 that says I do not have 10g client installed but I did download and install this client onto my desktop. I also have the TNSnames file in the oracle_home. I can connect to the database with Oracle Reports6i and sqlplus from this same desktop but I can't seem to be able to pick up the repository for the BI Administration Tool
Any idea where I am going wrong.
Thanks,
Leo

Have you created TNS_ADMIN environment variable. Create a environment variable TNS_ADMIN which maps to location where tnsnames.ora is located.
then restart your services/machine, and test it.

Creating views in Physical Layer of OBIEE Administration Tool

Hello,
I am doing a proof of concept of creating an OBIEE repository using the Administration Tool to make a model for an in house sandbox OLTP system. Because this POC isn't using a warehouse that is built nicely with everything I need, I am having to import the OLTP tables into the Physical Layer and then create a few extra views (by creating a new physical table object and selecting "Table Type: Select") to add some new columns I will need.
My problem is that once I have created two views 'ViewA' and 'ViewB', I want to then create a third view 'ViewC' that is the union of 'ViewA' and 'ViewB'. But when I create ViewC from these two views and try to then update row count or view data in newly created ViewC, I get an error message of the effect:
Message 208: Invalid object name 'DBO.ViewA'
Message 208: Invalid object name 'DBO.ViewB'
When I try and create ViewC with DBO.OriginalTableA and DBO.OriginalTableB, however, it works just fine. And I am also able to successfully update row count and view data in ViewA and ViewB independently. So it seems to me like a view initialization problem when trying to have ViewC be created from A and B.
Am I trying to do something that is not allowed in the Physical Layer of the BI Admin Tool? I would think that I should be able to work with views just like actual physical tables from my OLTP. Maybe not.
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

Hi Hammett81 ,
I think, I have given configured connection pool correct. (following Oracle guidelines: 'In the Connection Pool dialog box, on the General tab, verify that the call interface is set to Default (OCI 10g) and change the data source name to the appropriate tnsnames.ora entry ( ORCL in this example). Please note that this is the TNS service name, not the ODBC DSN. ' )
I tried to give ODBC DSN (SH) as call interface, which resulted in an Error dialogue, implying, previous configuration was correct.
So, I reverted back.
Regards,
Deeba

BI Administration Tool - Create Dimension automatically

I installed Oracle Business Intelligence Standard Edition One Release 10.1.3.2.1 and I'm following "Business Intelligence Standard Edition One Tutorial" ( [Tutorial - section 4.3.5|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10352_01/doc/bi.1013/e10312/repository.htm#CBAHDGAA] )
I would set up a dimension automatically from a logical dimension table by means of "BI Administration Tool 10.1.3.2.1". So I follow the steps of this tutorial and even the Administration Guide ([section "Creating Dimensions Automatically" pg 134|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/b31770.pdf]) :
Particularly:
1)In the Administration Tool, I opened a repository.
2)In the Business Model and Mapping layer of a repository, right-click a logical table.
3)From the right-click menu, I should find and choose Create Dimension.
but on the right-click menu I can't see Create Dimension.
Could you please suggest me the reason?
Any ideas will be much appreciated.
Marco
Edited by: user1005030 on 21-ago-2011 3.18

Marco,
You will not see the option for "Create Dimension" when right-clicking a logical table in the BMM Layer if that logical table is:
1. Already being used as a dimension (icon with 3 prongs)
2. Not joined correctly with the Business Model (i.e. Either not joined at all or it is joined as a Fact table and is not acting like a dimension table to the Admin Tool)
My hunch believes that you have already associated the logical table with a dimension/hierarchy. To run a litmus test, just delete all of the dimensions you have created for the Business Model, then right-click the logical table in question. If you see the "Create Dimension" option then you know what the issue is.
Let me know if that helps.

OBI SE 1 Administration Tool as a client tool to another OBI SE1 instance

Our client has installed the OBI SE 1 on a "server" machine with no hassles. They then installed OBI SE 1 again on a different "client machine", in order to use, only the Administration Tool as a client tool to the other OBI SE 1 Server instance.
They changed the Oracle BI ODBC connectivity to point to the other machine but when they try to use the Administration Tool they get the following message:
[nQSError: 37001]Could not connect to the Oracle BI Server instance.
They then tested the ODBC Client tool to test connectivity and they can access the OBI Server instance in question.
I know that with the SE 1 installation there are no separate installs for client and server components, so my question is: can they do this or in the SE 1 the Administration tool must reside on the same machine as the Oracle BI Server??
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Sergio

Did they use the "Oracle BI Server" ODBC type?
Are they able to successfully ping the remote machine?
There is also a possiblity that they did not fully configure the connection to the Remote Repository. There are 3 steps to the wizard.
The Admin tool is the same admin tool that comes with BI EE (but at a lower release level than the current BI EE, so do not try to just install that client, it will adjust the Repositoy upward and then it will be incompatible with BI SE One). I have connected to many remote repositories without any problem.
Can you post the full log from C:\OracleBI\server\Log\NQSAdminTool.log
Thanks

Administration tool read only access

I was wondering if there is a read only access to the administration tool.
What i am trying to do is to test the repository Build with best practices since this repository is live and done by a group of developers -
Since i joined recently and wanted to know what resources i need to get to view and test the repository.
I was wondering if there is a read only access to admin tool , not sure about this and also do i need oracle BI installed on my local machine to view the repository.
If not ,is there a way where i can get to see the repository without having the priviledges to do any modification or save changes to the repositoryin online or offline mode
Thanks Deva ...

Hi,
If you want to switch your RPD read only mode to online/Offline mode
try to re start your bi server and then try to access it RPD (online/offline mode)
Setting rpd in read only mode:
users wants to access the RPD in online mode then do below setting in NQSConfig.ini but this will refrain u developers as well to do any change in online mode...
Refer Section: READ_ONLY_MODE
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12096_01/books/AnyInConfig/AnyInConfigNQSConfigFileRef11.html
otherwise you can give it copy of RPD(he can access it via offline mode)
if your using obiee11g,
Read-Only issues on a new install of OBIEE 11g:(always opens it in Read-Only mode)
Login to Oracle Enterprise Manager Goto -> Business Intelligence -> coreapplication
Click - Capicity Managment Tab in Right side -> Performance -> Check Disable Disallow Online RPD Updates
Thanks

OBI Administration Tool

Hello gurus.
Is there in Oracle BI Administration Tool a possibility to connect to another server without a terminal session (remote desktop connection)?
I want to run from my computer the repository (be able to change it) without terminal session.

Default Administrator password in BI Administration Tool - Security Manager

Hello all,
I'm new to OBIEE and have recently been playing around in the BI Administration Tool to create my own repository (.rpd) metadata files from demo DBs. I selected "Manage" -> "Security" to open Security Manager and then set a logging level of 2 on the Administrator user.
UNFORTUNATELY, there is a default password that apparently gets specified that I didn't notice, so when I closed my repository file and tried to re-open it, it is now challenging me for a password that I didn't set, don't know, and have not been able to find in documentation or posted threads anywhere.
Has anyone else ever come across this problem before or know the default password? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

Guys,
First, let me thank you all for you quick responses and willingness to give me a hand. It's greatly appreciated. And thanks Ally for noticing the name! Glad you liked it. :)
Unfortunately, my problem still exists. None of the following passwords worked for me: <blank>, "Administrator", "administrator", or "ADMINISTRATOR".
Also, I should clarify for the thread that I'm not using Paint.rpd or SH.rpd; I'm creating my own repository from scratch. For those who read this post and have literally 90 seconds to spare, I would ask you to try and recreate this same thing with me and see if it's just me (and if I'm crazy):
1) Open OBI Administration Tool
2) DO NOT open an existing repository, create a new one. Name it whatever; mine is the default "Metadata1.rpd"
3) Don't bother adding any metadata to it, go immediately to "Manage" --> "Security" --> "Users" and open up the Administrator user by double-clicking it.
4) Notice there is a "Password" and "Confirm Password" value already defined by default! DON'T change it (this is the password in question that I accidentally accepted). Just click the "OK" button without making any changes to that form.
5) Save, close, and then try to re-open this repository you just created. It should be challenging you for a password now, right? And I bet it will not accept <blank> or any variation of "Administrator".
Believe me, I know better now in the future to not let this happen. But I can't for the life of me figure out this password that was automatically populated and WHY there would be one there in the first place! I was walking through a lab that told me to open this security setting for Administrator to set a logging level, but it did not mention anything about a setting a password. So, I created a repository that I have now magically locked myself out of. :)
Can anyone else please try to recreate this and let me know if it's just me or not? I am using BI Administration Tool version: 10.1.3.3.2.071217.1900.
Thanks again guys.

BI Administration Tool - No database objects shown

Hello. I am trying to create a new repository using the BI Administration tool. I connect to an Oracle database using OCI, but in the "Select Metadata Objects" screen, I am not able to see any database objects, except the database as a parent node.
So for example, instead of showing:
myOracleDB
-table1
-table2
-table...
-tableN
All I see is:
myOracleDB
Has anyone come across this issue?
Thank you in advance for the help.

Make sure you are importing dbo related instead of sys or any other metadata (like DAC rep etc..).. if every thing is correct, try to add a table manually in RPD with few columns and view data.. this is to make sure all in place.
let us know updates
If it is helpful, please mark as correct or helpful

Oracle BI Administration Tool - OCI problems

Hi
I've experienced the following problems with the Admin tool, when importing metadata and data through an OCI connection pool :
Oracle BI Admin tool crashes when I try to "View Data" on a table containing a SPACE in one of the columns of a row. Strange but true. e.g. I created a dummy table to prove this. Table ABC, Row 1 Col1 = ' ', Col2 = 'ABC', Row 2 Col1 = 'X', Col2 = 'X'.
The admin tool give me the following message The instruction at ….. referenced memory at ……… The memory could not be “read”
When I update the SPACE to NULL or something else, it does not crash.
Also when introducing the OCI connection pool, the Presentation Server just hangs, when I try to login to it.
These problems seem to be quite strange. I'm running ORACLE BI EE 1.0.1.3.3 on Windows 2003 server.
Has anyone experienced these problems ? Please help.
Thanks
Cheers
Greg

Hi Venkat
The SPACE error appears in a pop up window and reads :
Title (Online) Oracle BI Administration Tool - AnalyticsWeb: AdminTool.exe - Application Error.
Message : The instruction at "0x78144a51" referenceed memory at "0x00000005". The memory could not be "read".
Click on OK to terminate the program
Click on CANCEL to debug the program
As for the presentation services, I think the initial install was the vanilla install for Windows. Presentation services was probably re-installed using the same default settings.
As per my previous reply to Adrian, the problems do not appear on Linux, using the same Windows repository file with the same OCI connectivity set up.
Thanks
Cheers
