Migrating OBIEE Environments

Hi,
I have two OBIEE 11g installation, A and B, and I would like to migrate the environment A from installation A to B.
I have copied the catalog and repository from A to B and I loaded them using EM. Then I refreshed the GUID's by editing the files instanceconfig.xml and NQSConfig.INI as shown in the following URL
Re: Cennot login to BI analitics
But when I logged in as Administrator I can not see the Administration tab in the top right.
It seems that I do not have administrator privileges. What could be the cause?
Thanks,
Federico.

Hi,
try the below methods,
Method 1:
Could you try to throw away the Administrator user folder form the catalog (via the Catalog Manger)? Then try to login again. A new user folder should be created. Maybe that helps. It seems like some user settings get corrupted when migrating.
If you have any reports, make a backup of the folder first and then copy the reports back later
Method 2:
Login to obiee and append the URL with Managegroups ( http://localhost:9704/analytics/saw.dll?Managegroups)
add the weblogic user under the "Presentation Server Administrators" group
then try to relogin.
Thanks
Deva

  • Managing Datasource specification when migrating between environments

    Hi,
    We have a Data Services 3.2 realtime job that uses many Base match transforms.
    These Base match transforms are used as simple candidate selectors which do not perform any matching and fire native SQL queries.
    As we are currently migrating from DQXI 11.6 to DSXI 3.2 we were running this job in our development environment.
    So the datasource specified in these candidate selection transforms were pointing to our development database.
    We are now migrating to our test environment which has a separate database of its own having the same tables.
    So, is there a central place where we can update the database details, so that its reflected in all the candidate selection transforms ?
    Or, do we need to manually drill down into each candidate selection transform and change the datasource specification there before pushing the jobs realtime?
    In our old DQXI system, each project had a XML file which we migrated between environments and we modified all occurrences of the old datasource with the new one.
    Can something similar be done in DSXI ?
    Please let me know. Any inputs will be helpful.
    Thanks,
    Saurav.

    you can define multiple configuration for the Datastore that you are using in candidate selection, each for DEV, PROD etc env
    and Define a System Configuration for each env, in System Config, you can specify which Datastore configuration to use
    you can run the job using the System Config of that env
    refer techincal manual for multiple Datastore Configuration and System Configuration

  • Migrating OBIEE 11.1.1.7 RPD and CATALOG

    Hi Gurus,
    We have two environments in our project DEV and TEST where OBIEE 11.1.1.7 is installed.
    We are using weblogic Internal Security in DEV and we have 3 users and a role by name App in DEV.
    Now after Migration I am having 3 issues:
    1) After deploying  DEV RPD in TEST and after restarting the services. I got an issue like Admin user Weblogic is not able to login in to Answers as well as Repository in Online. After my R&D I found that I have to delete all the users in RPD and then restart the services which worked and my Admin user (weblogic) is able to login to answers as well as RPD.
         Now my question is: Am I doing it in right way for Repository Migration because if it is correct every time If I have to migrate I have to delete all the users in  RPD?
    2) Before Migrarting the Catalog we have created the same App role in Test Environment. After migrating the Catalog only the Shared Folders using Catalog Manager Archive/Un-Archive the security configured in DEv against the App in Catalog folders is not migrated but security configured against the App role in RPD Subject areas is migrated. Now my question is how to migrate the catalog folder security also.
    3) After checking the Dashboards I can see that I lost all the format changes done in DEV. Format changes are like User preferred currency, Comma separator e.t.c. Now please let me know how to migrate this Format changes.
    Please help me on this.

  • Migrating OBIEE Repfrom Oracle database to SQL server database in Solaris.

    Hi,
    I need inputs in how we would migrate our connections in Repository from Oracle database to SQL server database in Sloaris server.
    Is there a complication here.
    Regards,
    Bhavik

    Well that makes more sense, you probably have phrased your question better. Microsoft SQL Server Connectivity Components are not supported in any other operating system than Windows. So you will not be able to use the SQL Server native drivers to connect to your SQL Server. ODBC it's an option but there aren't many ODBC drivers for Unix systems. Luckily for you OBIEE includes the DataDirect ODBC drivers and supports using them to connect to a SQL Server. Check [the documentation|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/e10416/general_101331.htm#sthref9] on how to use them. Having said that I would say that whoever is pushing to move your DWH to SQL Server should consider also moving OBIEE to a Windows server to be able to use the SQL Server native drivers to connect to SQL Server.

  • UDF migration between environments in OIM 11g

    Hello experts,
    We are using OIM 11.1.1.5. We have created many UDF attibutes in Dev environment. We are going to migrate those UDF in our higher environments. What is the best way to do ?
    I heard manual creation is the good way as UDF export/import in 11g causing several issues. Can any one succeeded doing that ? Can you share your experience ?
    Thanks
    DK

    The only issue I've seen with export and import of user metadata in 11.1.1.5 BP02 is the order might not be the same once they are imported. Other than that, the deployment manager has been successful for our current deployment from one environment to the next.

  • Migrate OBIEE 11.1.1.3 rpd and catalog to OBIEE 11.1.1.5

    Is there is any upgrade process to follow (if so, what they are) to use OBIEE 11.1.1.3 rpd and webcatalog with OBIEE 11.1.1.5 installation.
    Is there anything extra needs to be done apart from just about moving them to 11.1.1.5 installed machine and deploy/specify path through Oracle EM Fusion Middleware Control.
    Thanks in advance for the inputs.

  • Many problems with migration OBIEE

    Hi, I upgrade muy proyect obiee 10.2 to 11.1.1.5 and some dashboard displays errors.
    Some dashboard error says:
    State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 46036] Internal Assertion: Condition exceptNode.GetNumLists() >= 2, file server/Query/Optimizer/Request/Src/SQORRqDumpout.cpp, line 336. (HY000)
    and others reports says:
    State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 12002] Socket communication error at call=recv: (Number=9) Bad file descriptor (HY000)
    Scenario:
    Upgrade OBIEE: windows 32bits(obiee 10.2) to Oracle Linux 5.4 64 bits(obiee 11.1.1.5)
    In Windows the rpd created datasource with ODBC and In linux i change conexion in rpd with OCI. I guess the problem can come from this change.I had to change the connection to OCI, but it's weird because I can run some reports and some do not.
    thanks

    I did not know this could be a problem, however I see the exact version and is:
    10.1.3.2.1 to 11.1.1.5
    I only upgrade the catalog and on a new machine rpd linux.
    Any solutions?

  • OBI - Migration between environments

    Does anyone have a best practice document or even a document on how to migrate reports from OBI 10.1.3.4 between a dev to prod environment?
    Can't seem to find anything on the Oracle website.

    If only BIpublisher reports means u have to move the C:\OracleBI\xmlp\XMLP for the first time.
    Later what all the reports you are doing u can migrate that reports its enough.
    But During the BIPublisher migration you have to create all the JDBC connection name as same as DEV environment and point them to QA instance or PROD. It will be easy for u .else after migration u have to change manually .
    Thanks

  • Best practice for migrating between environments and versions?

    Hi to all,
    we've got a full suite of solutions custom developed in SAP BPC 7.0, SP 7. We'd like to understand if
    - there are best practice in order to copy this applications from an environment to another environment (another client)
    - there are best practice in case the client has got a newer version of SAP BPC (they should install the 7.5, while we're still stucked with the 7.0).
    Thank you very much
    Daniele

    Hi Daniele
    I am not entirely sure, what you are asking, Please could you provide additional information.
    Are you looking for best practice recommendations for Governance, for example: Change transports between DEV, QA and PRD in BPC 7.0?
    What is the best method? Server Manager backup and restore, etc  ?
    And
    Best Practice recommendations on how to upgrade to a different version of BPC, for example: Upgrading from BPC 7.0 to 7.5 or 10.0 ?
    Kind Regards

  • Report migration in OBIEE 11g

    Hi
    I am new to OBIEE 11g.
    1. I want to migrate report dashboard from DEV instance to UAT instance.
    2. I want to share reports to other users.
    Kindly someone give me guideline to proceed.
    Thanks
    Krishna

    Check these links.. it is more or less same as in 10g case by case.
    You need to select the report/dashboards archive and unarchive using catalog manager.
    If your Dev and UAT are already set with groups/roles then you suppose to do online mode so that the security settings will persist during archive and unarchive..

  • Migrate from Test to New Server - OBIEE

    Hi,
    I have been 'evaluating' OBIEE functinality on a small test server for some time, where I have done a large amount of work on both writing reports. developing dashboards, configuring user security and the necessary data architecture in the physical / business model and presentations layers in BI Adminstration.
    My question is, what is the easiest way to port the solution as it stands to a different server, without needing to perform extensive rework?
    Thanks for any advice,
    Robert.

    Lowest level: copy the RPD and web catalog over to the other server, adjust the NQSConfig.ini and instanceconfig.xml and off you go.
    That's assuming you didn't change any web messages, add custom pictures or files, change the styles and/or skins, you're still pointing to the same data sources etc. etc.
    You should have a look at one of Marks write-ups from a while back: http://www.rittmanmead.com/2008/04/28/migration-obiee-projects-between-dev-and-prod-environments/

    If anybody know this can you please help me how to do ?Thnaks in Advance.
    As per my Knowledge i know upto this .... "first we need to deploy RPD and WEBCatalog files in to New(OBIEE11g) system and we have to test RPD and WEBCatalog files,Whether these two are working fine or not? Because in OBIEE 10g we have OC4J Server,But in OBIEE 11g Architecture wise it's entirely Different here we have OBIEE WEBLOGIC Server. We have to Deploy RPD in WEBCatlog files in to WEBLogic server. And If any changes have to do in Securities and Variables we need to make changes in that after Migration".

  • Migrating Studio across environments

    EIS had/has the ability to export schemas and other EIS objects as XML files that can be used to migrate across environments.
    Studio has no such thing (or if it does, I can't see it).
    The docs do talk about migration, but that's from EIS to Studio. LCM, tantilizingly, shows Studio, but when I click on it I get a "User is not authorized for the action." My id has every Studio provisioning right there is.
    I can see a migration path, sort of, that entails moving an entire database schema/database (Oracle/SQL Server) from one environment to another, and then diving into the tables to change references to servers, rights, etc. I have not tried this because it reminds me of pre-11 Planning migrations and they hurt.
    Is the above approach documented anywhere?
    Is there a better way to migrate from development to production?
    If there is, wonderful. Following on that welcome news, is there a way to selectively migrate an object or series of objects?
    Regards,
    Cameron Lackpour

    Hello GlennS:
    CL, I hope you do not mind if I re-open this post ;)
    I have been working with Essbase Studio 11.1.2 and I have seen that models could be exported to xml. But now I am working with 11.1.1.3 and I do not know how to migrate between environments.
    I think I have two issues:
    1) Maybe 11.1.1.3 does not support this feature?. Migrating the entire database should be the solution?. Should I also migrate physical files?
    2) My database is in SQL Server 2005 and destination database is Oracle. Do you think I would be able to?
    Thank you for your help
