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.

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

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.

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.

Need Usage Pattern Report in OBIEE 11g

Hi All,
I have a requirement, where I need to know who logged in, to OBI Application in the last 3 months and who has not. How do I get that? Basing on START_DT in S_NQ_QCCT, I can put a filter with Start Date using BETWEEN RANGE, but since OBIEE logs in only those users who logs in, am not sure how to capture the records for non-logged in users during the same period. I have to report output in a pie chart with the percentages.
Any help would be highly appreciated, since its an urgent need. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vinag

You need to have all users in some custom table and customize the usage tracking BMM model by using outer joins so that you can see user who are not logged in.

OBIEE 11g Installation Fails at configuration process

Hi All,
I tried installing OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0 in my machine.Below are the prerequsite which I followed and the laptop system configuration details.
Pre-Requisites Followed : 1) Creation of Static IP address,2) Created Schema's using RCU In Oracle 11g Database.
Laptop Details : OS-Windows 7,Ram 3 GB and space for Installation nearly 14 GB.
Installation Type: Simple Installation
Issue : There are 14 steps in the wizard.I have succeeded till step 12 which is called "Installation Process",But in Step 13 'Configuration progress' the wizard says Creating Domain status as 'In Progress' which stays in the same status even after 2 hours.So I am not able to complete installation Process as the wizard is not completing the Step 13 process which is 'BI Configuration'. This is the 4 attempt Iam trying the installation and the output is failure in the installation of OBIEE 11g on my machine.
Known Issue : Also when I executed the setup file for running the installation file in 'Drive:\bi_windows_x86_111150_32_disk1_1of2\bishiphome\Disk1\setup.exe',in the command prompt i got a warning message like swap space is 0.But I ignored that error and I gave 'y' to proceed further for the installation.As this swap space issue was common in many of our folk installation process which has ended in successful installation.
Help Needed : Can any one suggest me what will be the cause for the issue,or any Pre-requisite is missing,or the installation steps which I need to follow to make my installation successful.
Thanks in advance,
Regards
Kris

- all installation files must be in a folder without spaces.
Try to decompress all files in c:obi11g for exemple and restart installation.
Or
- You may have a temp directory in the path C:Documents and Settingsuser_nameLocal SettingsTemp. You got the above mentioned exception because of the temp directory path having spaces in it.
Solution:
1. Create a new directory called TEMP in a different location for ex: C:TEMP
2. Now, Right click on My computer --> Properties --> Advanced --> click on Environment Variables.
3. You should be having TEMP and TMP as variables under user variables section pointing to the C:Documents and Settingsuser_nameLocal SettingsTemp path.
4. Edit the TEMP and TMP variables and mention C:TEMP in the variable value.
5. Deinstall and re-install OBIEE 11g.

OBIEE 11g Installer

Hi,
I am trying to install OBIEE 11g and as per the installation document I need to have OBIEE Installer to start with installation. The document points to
Download Oracle Business Intelligence 11g Installer .zip file from OTN at the
following link:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/middleware/htdocs/111110_fmw.html
This takes to the page with listing to download Weblogic installer instead. Is it the same installer I need to use eve for obiee 11g or the link is wrong.
Appreciate if someone can point to correct location.
Also, RCU zip file donot have any setup or any such file. Which file I should launch to get RCU running?
Appreciate if some one can provider pointer to this.
Thanks,
Ritesh

Hi,
Thanks a bunch. I just got carried away by document.

BI Publisher in OBIEE 11G

Hi
I have few doubts in regard to BI Publisher in OBIEE 11G. Here they goes
1) Is it required to install BI Publisher separately or is it already provided integrated in fusion middleware in OBIEE 11G.
2) What is the process to integrate BI Publisher with OBIEE 11G.
Please help by providing answers to the above queries.
Thanks.

user8654742 wrote:
1) Is it required to install BI Publisher separately or is it already provided integrated in fusion middleware in OBIEE 11G.BI publisher installs on your machine by default with the installation of OBIEE 11g. You will not need to install or do any extra configurations.
2) What is the process to integrate BI Publisher with OBIEE 11G.As far as the OBIEE 11g Integration with BI Publisher 11g, it comes with basic integration like navigation to BI publisher form OBIEE analytics. Share the same security model etc. If you can elaborate your question here, it would help me answer it correctly.

Business Intelligence Screen not coming up in EM in OBIEE 11g

Hi Gurus,
1.) I am stuck in the Enterprise Manager where I click on the Business Intelligence --> coreapplication and nothing comes up for long time, I really don't know what are the reasons the BI screen does not come in the Enterprise Manager, I need to configure the Scheduler and Main desperately.
It will be of immense help if somebody helps me to identify the problem.
2.) Also the Scheduler tables were not installed during RCU installation, how can I install the 5 tables needs for scheduling jobs on OBIEE 11g Linux env.

Amit

Does an evaluation-only install of OBIEE 11g require a database?

I wanted to set up OBIEE 11g on my laptop so that I could start to evaluate it. From numerous blogs, I was led to believe that I first needed to install a database (I installed Oracle 11g), run the RCU utility, and then install OBIEE 11g. I successfully performed these steps, installing everything in one VirtualBox VM. Performance is acceptable but the VM's VDI is 18 GB in size!
After the OBIEE installation, the OBIEE home page automatically launched in a browser. In the Dashboard dropdown there's a Sample Lite QuickStart dashboard. Clicking on that link displays a series of tabs, including a ReadMe tab that states: "You are looking at a OBIEE SampleApp Lite, a simplified version of the OBIEE 11g SampleApp. SampleApp Lite only includes very limited set of basic features examples and sources only from XML static datafiles. SampleApp Lite does not show most of the OBIEE 11g powerful features and capabilities."
IMO, this indicates I didn't necessarily need to install Oracle 11g as a requirement to install OBIEE 11g. Is that the case? If so, what are the steps to install OBIEE 11g without a database? Why do I ask? I need to create another OBIEE 11g VM for a co-worker to evaluate. I'm wondering if I can somehow skip installing the database this time and simply let them evaluate OBIEE 11g by just using the SampleApp Lite dashboard.

Hi,
Installation of OBIEE 11g needs an RCU (and therefor a DB), even, as in your case, you're not using the DB for the SampleApp. Although installation needs an RCU, the RCU doesnt have to be on the same machine, so, while installing your 2nd machine, you can point to the RCU on the first machine. Doing this you don't have to install a seperate DB on the second machine.
Good luck!
PS. I think you can even remove the DB from your first machine afterwards, since I don't think it's being used in your case. But not sure about this, and never done it myself this way..

OBIEE 11G - Unable to login to presentation services

Hi All,
I have done a simple installation of OBIEE 11G on my coloud server with OS windows server 2003, SP2 , 32 bit.
Installation is 88% completed with,
Executing : opmnctl start coreapplication_obiccs1 and Executing: opmnctl start coreapplication_obips1 failed. Came to know that this is related to clusters and ignored the error.
RCU is installed in different database server.
Now i am trying to login to presentation services with weblogic as userid and password that i had given during installation of obi.
I am getting error that userid or password is invalid...
One thing i came to know from the thread OBIEE 11g Cluster Controller Failed to start is,
i have a bad IP in /etc/hosts... below are the entries in the file... can anyone please tell me what necessary changes i should do?
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should

# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
