Anyone tell me how to install patch in obiee 11g.
Basically this is the first time i need to install it in obiee 11g.
anyone please explain me clearly? how to install patch to windows server 32 bit env.

Thanks Kalyan for sent me the document and gave me the clarification
I have followed way it is in the document. But I have made it till step5 only.
Later if I type opatch command on the dos prompt it is throwing error that 'is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file'
In my server is structure like this.....
Obiee installed in E drive
It has subfolder like 'mw_home'
Under that folder I have instances, jdk116_18,jrockit....,logs,modules,oracle_bi1,oracle_common,user_projects,utils,wlserver.
Under oracle_bi1 I have admin,asoneofftool,assistants,atgpf,.....
Under oracle_common I have admin,admin server registration,bc4j .....
Can anybody give the exact commands which are applicable for my server.... from importing zip from the oracle site and where I will have to place and where I will have to install... Anybody give me all the commands to get my patch install?
can you tell me my steps will going to impact anything further? if i stop it in the middle..
Thanks in advance

Automate RPD and Catalog Patching in OBIEE 11G

Is it possible to automate the patching process with scripting? This would be the complete cycle: compare, generate xml patch and apply patch. I see that I can script the applying of the patch but need to be able to script the compare.

Yes, You could accomplish this using the OBIEE 11g scripts.
The one place you may want to reconsider the "complete cycle" is when it comes to actually patching the production RPD via automated fashion. I would leave that to remain as a manual redeployment after the patching to some stage folder/area, then manually deploy the RPD. This way you are certain to retain the incremental versioning that is now provided in the Fusion Console EM, etc.

Applying a patch to OBIEE 11g

Hello Everyone,
I am new to OBI and specially new to 11g, Now most of you guys will know that there was a bug in 11g in which if you want to see the query generated by the report in session log, It shows "no log found". Now there was a patch available which i have downloaded and i am not so sure as to how to apply that patch to OBI, I tried all the steps given in the read me doc provided with the doc. but all in Vain, as it is very confusing and more importantly it doesnt work,
Can any one help me out here by telling me the actual steps involved.
Thanks,

Try the following -
1. cd to oracle home folder\opatch
set oracle_home=your home directory (iethe parent of opatch\ folder)
opatch lsinventory -patch -detail
The last command should run and say "opatch successful".
Now run the command:
2. opatch apply -verbose "your patch folder's complete path"
(verbose tells u the sequence, success or errors if any)
OK - now,
3. The patch on my PC failed saying that I needed to install the latest opatch. I downloaded the latest opatch (11.2 even though the patch (ie the "no log found" patch) requires 11.1.0.8.2 or something) and just extracted it to the oracle home folder - yes, it will overwrite the current opatch folder, so back it up before you copy the latest opatch folder.
4. After this, I ran the command again from step 2 again. It seemed to be running, ie somewhat successful, but it asked for my oracle support login, some proxy server crap so it could connect to the internet, also gives options to specify "NONE" if you didn't need all this - but never came back...at that point, I quit. I tried again and it got stuck at the same point - so, I wasn't sure if it succeeded or not.
5. I assumed the patch ran OK and tried to view the log - but this time it gave a different error "it is not a Win32 application" or something like that. I am sure that I downloaded the win32 patch only. Yet, I am going to check and try it out again tomorrow.
Let me know if it worked for you and the details.
Hope all this helps :-)

Patch processing in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
Is there any document regarding patch processing for both catalog and rpd? I have seen some 2 to 3 blogs and tried executing the patch, but got some error in that they have mentioned to look *"the Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition's Presentation Services Administration Guide"* for more info. But I didn't find any document like that. So where to get that?
Thanks,
Satheesh

Hi,
Please check the below document from oracle on Patching Oracle Fusion Middleware Applications:
http://docs.tpu.ru/docs/oracle/en/owl/E14571_01/doc.1111/e16793/opatch.htm#CBHDEGBJ
ex:
Applying a patch to OBIEE 11g
After downloading the patch I tried to apply them using the following procedure:
1. Unzip the patch zip file into the PATCH_TOP.
unzip -d PATCH_TOP p12561330_111150_WINNT.zip
2. Set your current directory to the directory where the patch is located.
cd PATCH_TOP/12561330
3. Run OPatch to apply the patch.
Run following command:
- opatch apply -jre $ORACLE_HOME/jdk/jre
But the opatch execution failed.
Could you please suggest me the exact process to apply the patch.
Thanks

OBIEE 11g + OBIEE 11g Samples (rel.825)

Hi all.
I'm quite new in OBIEE 11g. I used to have some experiences with version 10g but 11g seems to be more advanced.
Generally I've installed DB11g then OBIEE 11g and started configuring samples according to documentation regarding release 825.
Everything went fine but when I try to run any report I get errors like:
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS.

[nQSError: 17014] Could not connect to Oracle database. (HY000)
Problem is that I can't find out what user is it talking about !
During installation I've created:
- BISAMPLE/BISAMPLE
- obiee_navteq (for maps)
Both user profiles and other BI profies are working fine. So I have no idea where shall I look for mistake.
On EM application for 'coreapplication' I see errors like:

OBIEE 11g: Non conformed dimension filter

Hi,
I have two fact tables and some confromed and non conformed dimensions between the fact tabels.
The hiearchies being built and proper levels were set for the fact tables. The measures of the fact were set to the total level of the non confromed dimension tables.
The fact also hold some non aggregated columns (baseline columns), all the base line columns where moved to a logical dim table.
The report involves both the fact tables, conformed and non conformed dimension columns.
When we built the report with all these columns the report is showing fine. But when we add the filter with the non conformed dimension the report is throwing some error.
Error Details
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P

The above functionality was working fine with OBIEE 10g and have implemented it many times before.
There is one patch available for this issue but it is available only for windows 32 bit enironment.

Hi Vinod,
In OBIEE 10g, we are running into similar error when we add filter from non conformed dimensions in a report, so can you please share patch download details like where to download or if we have to raise a SR for the Patch 14210864.

OBIEE 11g - BI Server Login

Hello Gurus
1. I have successfully Installed and configured OBIEE 11g suite.
2. I am able to connect and import meta data.
But when I go to BI Server home page (/obieehome) And enter username and password. It does not validate.
I have tried all username and passwords that came in as part of installation process but no luck.
I would think the default username DEV_BIPLATFORM should work, but no such luck.
So, now, I am not sure anymore which is the username I should be using in order to log in to BI Server home page. Any idea?
My weblogic console is just fine.
Thanks,
R

In addition to my OP, below is some more information.
The OBI installation generated following file with all links. How can I know which username belongs to which link? I could not see a document anywhere on web that would tell me this. Thanks, R

Leela KrishnaOpatch should be higher than OUI version.. Your OPatch is outdated that's why you are receiving the above error
you need to download the latest OPatch by searching http://support.oracle.com for 'How To Download And Install The Latest OPatch Version [ID 274526.1]'
After which you can start with the Patching of OBIEE.

OBIEE 11g patching strategies (or lack thereof)

I'm very interested to know how people are patching production instances of OBIEE 11g. I've been very frustrated by the fact that Oracle releases tons of "one off" patches (which aren't guaranteed not to screw up other things), but no "production ready" patches that have been fully regression tested, etc. I don't think they EVER released a production patchset for 11.1.1.3, I think everyone had to wait for 11.1.1.5 (which was almost a year later)...
I can understand this for the 10.1.3.4.x series, because that seems basically "mature" - but OBIEE 11g has a TON of bugs in it.
So my question is - what strategies are people using to test patches and decide whether to put them in or not? I just installed a patch that is crashing the server when trying to save repository variables and init blocks. I don't have time to spend a day testing each and every "controlled" patch out there.
What to do? Is Oracle ever going to start releasing monthly or quarterly "patchsets" that have all patches bundled and tested together?
Thx,
Scott

Hi Dpka, that's exactly what I was afraid of. I've gone from being a data mart and OBIEE developer to spending literally half my time working on Oracle SRs for OBIEE 11.1.1.5. I'm hitting the exact same issues as you - lots of untested one-off patches that break other items, with no fully integration tested patchsets ever being released (11.1.1.3 was out for over a year...never saw a patchset for that...I can't wait another year for an integrated set of 11.1.1.5 patches).
Here's my high level complaint - Oracle USED to put together patchsets, which were groups of patches tested to work together. These would come out every few months. But for the last two years or so, I don't see Oracle doing that any more - not just for OBIEE - I see this for almost everything (for example, we also use OWB - trying to do the upgrade to 10.2.0.5 but there are literally a hundred patches to apply).
In general - has Oracle simply stopped producing patchsets? If so - I really demand a refund for the support we're paying. My job is not to spend two weeks applying 100 patches on something because Oracle can't do basic integration testing on their patches.
Uggg, sorry, really really frustrated with Oracle right now. I wish they would stop working on "new features" and crap on 11g OBIEE and get the basic tool to work properly. I really get the feeling a lot of what went into 11g was glitz and glamour, but it was implemented by people that had never used the tool "real life". Just a guess, but some of the bugs are so basic that I refuse to believe that anyone that ever actually implemented and used the tool could have made those mistakes.

OBIEE 11g: Bugs Fixed in 11.1.1.6.5 Patch Set

Hello, I have a question about the patches that apply.
I have installed the product BI Publisher Enterprise 11g (11.1.1.6.0)
I detected a bug:
bug 13791065 - UNGROUP OF A SUBGROUP WITH AN EXPRESSION DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY
This bug was fixed in OBIEE 11g: Bugs Fixed in 11.1.1.6.5 Patch Set
¿could apply this patch to version BI Publisher Enterprise? Because this patch cotent the fix bug 13791065
I think not because,...this patch only apply in OBIEE Enterprise 11g and I have BIP Enterprise 11g
Patch 14630670: UPDATE FOR BI PUBLISHER ENTERPRISE 11.1.1.6.X SEPTEMBER 2012 is the last patch for me?
This latest version does not contain the bug fix 13791065.
thank you very much

Thanks Daniele for the reply,
I believe the 11.1.1.4 was released but only in OTN, not for everyone (I'm not 100% sure about this...) . However I know that a certain bug (9973004) was solved in 11.1.1.4, and this bug does not appear in the 11.1.1.5 list. That could happen with many other bugs, they could be solved in 11.1.1.4 but not appear in any list.
Thanks again!

How to install 11g ODBC client drivers to access OBIEE 11g server?

I have a user running Microsoft Excel on Wondows XP that wants to use ODBC to access an OBIEE 11g server running on Linux. The OBIEE 11g installation documentation indicates that a full install of OBIEE is required to install OBI client tools (including ODBC drivers). OBIEE version 10 had a separate client installation kit that made it very easy to install ODBC drivers. Does 11g have a client only installation kit like version 10? OR do I really have to perform a full OBIEE install on each client machine just to get the ODBC driver installed?
Any recommendations on how to install the OBIEE 11g ODBC driver, that DOES NOT require a full OBIEE installation, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Richard Brooks
