OBI EE topology

Hello,
I have to install BI Server on a OEL (Oracle Enterprise Linux) server and Presentation Server on another OEL server. Should I install OAS on both machines ?
Regards

In one of the installer steps you need to enter the path where OAS is installed, and also the password for oc4jadmin user. Right now I have two OAS instances, on two different machines. In both of them, the OBI installer deployed some J2EE applications. On the server where OBI Server is installed is deployed something called bijmx; on the second server there are deployed the following applications: bianalytics, bijmx and bixmlpserver.
My question: is possible to skip/avoid the OAS installation on the server where OBI Server will be running ?

  • OBIEE Catalog file

    Hi Guys,
    I have installed OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1 on Linux machine Say F

    I followed the OBI Application Topologies mention in OBI Apps Installation for Informatica Powercenter Users V 7.9.6
    I also copied the OracleBIAnalyticsApps.rpd form Machine A to Machine F
    Now my Question is to where I need to copy the Catalog file EnterpriseBusinessAnalytics to run the presentation services.
    Do I have Install OBI Apps on Machine F(Linux)??? If so I am not able to find any download for LInux.

  • OBI EE 10.1.3.2 installation problem

    Hello,
    I just installed OBI on Linux with OAS R3 (10.1.3.1.0). I can't manage to use Oracle Application Server Control to edit configuration files (instanceconfig.xml, etc). I've added in the opmn.xml parameters from the documentation (-DSAROOTDIR, -DSADATADIR, etc) but I can't find Oracle BI Management row in Application Defined MBeans when I try to use OEM to edit those configuration files.
    Any thoughts ???

    I've got a similar configuration to yours. I did not have to modify the opmn.xml like the documentation mentioned. The installer seems to have done that for me (I pointed the installer to my existing 10.1.3.1 App Server) when it deployed the three J2EE apps (bianalytics, bijmx, bixmlpserver). It took me a while to find the configuration screens. Here's where I found them.
    1. From the Cluster Topology screen, click on bijmx
    2. Click on the Applications Tab
    3. You should see a line that says "Oracle BI Management." Click on "Application Defined MBeans" in the far right column

  • OBIEE, OBIA on Linux

    I am new to OBI and hence need advice on the architecture:
    I have 2 solutions: I have 3 Linux servers for the OBIEE + OBIA installation: All linux servers are 2 CPU, 8GB VMs. Which solution is better?
    Solution A:
    Server 1: for database. This DB will host OBIEE MEtadata + Informatica Repository + DAC Repository
    Server 2: for Infomratica + DAC Servers
    Server 3: OBIEE related components + OBIA
    On Windows 7 desktop, I will install Informatica + DAC Client.
    Solution B:
    Server 1: for database. This DB will host OBIEE MEtadata + Informatica Repository + DAC Repository. Also Informatica + DAC Servers
    Server 2 & 3: OBIEE related components + OBIA

    It depends of your needs.
    What I can say is that you need minimum a windows machine if you check the typical topologie.

  • The OBIA informatica server's cache folder increased dramaticaly during one execute plan loading

    OBIA 7.9..6.3's Informatica ETL server (9.0.1)'s cache folder under /$INFORMATICA_HOME/Server/infa_shared folder increase dramaticaly during load one OBIA execution plan (consuming 39G disk space, of total 95% of the disk volume), after end of the execution plan, the cache folder usage size automaitcly drop down to 20m. As to avoiding the disk outage, do we have some configuration to limit the cache folder size?
    Pls advise

    This looks like a source connection issue:
    ODI-1227: Task SrcSet0 (Loading) fails on the source ORACLE connection EBS Vsision.
    Caused By: java.sql.SQLException: IO Error: Got minus one from a read call

    at oracle.odi.core.datasource.dwgobject.support.OnConnectOnDisconnectDataSourceAdapter.getConnection
    The domains tasks are the first tasks that touch the source connection, hence they would be the first to show this problem.
    To check this out:
    1.     In ODI go to Topology / Physical Architecture / Technologies / Oracle
    2.     Select the node for the connection name appropriate to the EAT type you are doing
    3.     Double Click that node to open it
    4.     Select JDBC (side tab in opened window)
    5.     Click "Test Connection" (option at top of opened window)

  • OBIA 7.9.5 implementation steps A to Z

    Hi All,
    I am planning to implement sales Analytics for the same Im installing OBI Apps 7.9.5 along with OBIEE 10.1.3.1.4 & Informatica powercenter SP4 ver 8.1.1.
    I have 3 available machines (windows) having sufficient resources. And so is my below environment/topology setup.
    Machine A)
    OBIEE complete + DAc Clients + Informatica clients.
    Machine B)
    DAC & Informatica Servers.
    Machine C)
    All databases OTLP & OLAP.
    I will keep you all posted on this & let you know the next steps I will be taking & the issues I face. Also will be doing this setup complete & revert back.
    Please comment if any issues you had with such type of setup.
    Thanks,
    Dev

    Thanks for this thread man. I tried to implement it. But I tried to implement the whole thing on single system. Y don't we use single system for all the above 3?
    My implementation steps,
    Windows Server 2003.
    Installed Oracle EBS 11i,
    Installed OBIEE,
    Installed Oracle BI Applications 7.9.6.1 and also installed 7.9.5.1 ( installation failed, I can get DAC but not Analytics repository)
    Installed Informatica 8.6.1 and 7.1.1 but unable to connect to Oracle 9i database which is installed with Oracle EBS, got problem which created repository service. I guess the main reason is Oracle Database is not allowing informatica to connect to the user i created for Informatica. GOT Struck hear, let us see how your implementation works, If your's work fine i can try it.
    Thanks,
    Pratap.

  • Open and connect in OBI 11.1.1.5 admin tool fowwoling OBE Upgrade

    I installed OBI11.1.1.5 on Redhat 5.2 and the admin tool on a windows. In this two machine I have OBI 10 server and admin tool installed as well. The OBI 11 components are all up running as I can access them such as EM and represention service.
    Following OBEhttp://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/fmw/bi/bi11115/upgrade/upgrade_to_11g.htm?print=preview#t3 .I upgraded our 10g rpd and catalog and see the repository saved in instance_home, and verified that the default is RPD sh20110903_BI002.
    Next step in the OBE, I verify Reposiotory Metadata. I launched the admin tool, opened inline. In the generated dialog box, I entered the password in defined in the update script as Repository Password, and used weblogic login in User/Password. All other fields are blank. That is all I can do in the dialog box, but the Open buttone is always grey. I think at least one available repository should be listed in the list box at the bottom, but it was empty.
    Then I tried to create a new repository. In step 2 Select Data Source, I choose ODBC 3.5 and use a valid system DSN, but got Error : The connection has failed.
    I tried also use Connection Type OCI 10g/11g. IN the Data Source Name I used a valid netservice name defined in a Oracle client's Oracle_HOME. But still got Error : The connection has failed.
    Questions
    1) How can make the Open button active in the Open inline RPD dialog box?
    2) Why the valid System DSN failed to connect in 11g admin tool. It is OK in 10g admin tool and ODBC configure
    3) How to make Admin Too; sees the tnsnames definition. Should I copy the tnsnames.ora file to somewhere under Admin Tool installation directory?
    Many thanks.

    Thanks. The post appares make sense. I opened my user.sh file and has 2 questions:
    1) There are 32bit section and 64 bit section, and it states that 32 bit server must work with 32 bit client, so is for 64 bit. In my case, the clients are most likely 32 bit windows (browsers and admin tool), but the server is installed on Redhat 64 bit. Is this a problem? How do I know if my OBIEE iis running 64 or 32 bit?
    2) All entries in the user.sh file are commented out. Then what file is used to in the current OBI11, it is started automatically after the installation.

  • Cube data not getting displayed in OBI

    Hi
    After importing a cube in OBI when I am trying to fetch the data it says " The criteria doesn't result in any data" .
    The cube is not fully populated and only some of the measures have data like 2007 q1 jan Boston sales 200.
    Is there something I am missing to introduce in cube.
    Appreciate any guidance.

    The cube is not fully populated and only some of the measures have data like 2007 q1 jan Boston sales 200.Well if the cube's not fully populated then it's not wonder you don't get results. You wiill need to specify exactly the dimension members for which there is actually a valid data intersection point.
    Other than that make sure that your hierarchies are represented as what they actually are in the RPD. I.e. ragged hierarchies are ragged and unbalanced ones unbalanced.
    Cheers,

  • After Upgrade OBI 10g to 11g:Odbc driver returned an error - SQLExecDirectW

    Hi all,
    for an OBI upgrade from 10g to 11g I used a RPD and Webcatalog based on a remote machine other than my local machine. Firstable I am making the tests on a Linux Virtual machine, which uses the Sample Lite version from Oracle.
    I made the following steps:
    1. I upgraded the RPD and Webcatalog. It worked without any errors.
    2. I set the static variable BI_EE_HOME via Administration Tool to the path in the Linux machine.
    --> Here I am not sure if the set path is correct. It begins with: \bi\ ...\instances\...\coreapplication_obis1 (... : I can't mention here the whole path name).
    --> When the OBI Server is installed in Windows, the mentioned static variable points to something like 'C:\<install folder>\...\coreapplication_obis1'
    --> Question: is the begin of my set path correct?. I set that pointing to the Linux OBI Server, because the OBI Server is installed on Linux.
    Problem:
    After login as the user in RPD: Administrator/<Password for my upgraded RPD> I can see the links in the Catalog and the Dashboards links. But I can not see any values, any Reports when going through the links.
    For example when trying to see a Dashboard with date 12.02.2011it happens:
    Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
    Status: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] general error.
    [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS.
    [nQSError: 43119] Query Failed:
    [nQSError: 17001] Oracle Error code: 12154, message: ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified

    [nQSError: 17014] Could not connect to Oracle database. (HY000)
    SQL Issued: SELECT "Dimension_-_My Dimension"."MyDimension" saw_0 FROM "Accounting (ACC)" WHERE "Dimension_-_My Dimension"."MyDimension" LIKE 'J%' ORDER BY saw_0
    I think its not retrieving the data from the remote database, because I don't have the data of the remote database in my local. I think the OBI Server still is pointing to the local virtual machine Oracle database.
    Can anybody tell me what happens here and how can I solve this problem?.
    I would appreciate any help....

    Hi gerardnico,
    I've tried many things and did as in your articles, but I don't have success with that.
    These are the things I did:
    1. I searched for the file tnsnames.ora in my Linux virtual machine. I could find it in many paths:
    /.../Oracle_BI1/network/admin/samples/tnsnames.ora
    /.../oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/hs/admin/tnsnames.ora.sample
    /.../oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/admin/tnsnames.ora
    /.../oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/admin/samples/tnsnames.ora
    /.../oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/admin/temp/tnsnames.ora
    /.../usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/admin
    in the last path I found the listener.ora as well.
    2. I took the tnsnames.ora from the last path, because the ORACLE_HOME points to /.../usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server
    3. I edited the tnsnames.ora this way:
    # tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File:
    XE =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = host_of_the_remote_machine)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVER = DEDICATED)
    (SERVICE_NAME = database_name_of_the_remote_machine)
    EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC_FOR_XE))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SID = database_SID_of_the_remote_machine)
    (PRESENTATION = RO)
    4. I made a backup of the tnsnames.ora in path /.../Oracle_BI1/network/admin/samples/tnsnames.ora
    and copied the tnsnames.ora from /.../usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/admin to the Oracle_BI1 path
    5. I set the TNS_ADMIN to /.../usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/admin
    6. I restarted the BI Server
    No success in what I did. The error is still there.
    7. I've tried also: sqlplus database_user_remote_machine/database_password_remote_machine@database_SID_remote_machine
    I didn't get the connection:
    SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Thu Jun 16 04:36:10 2011

    ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist

    What am I doing wrong here?. I am still thinking that I need the import of the database.

  • Problem with OBI Apps v7.9.5 installation on WinXP SP2

    We are attempting to install OBI Apps v7.9.5 on a WinXP SP2 machine. However, upon clicking the setup.exe file, we get the following error message -- Unable to load the launcher file index. Invalid file type in the index.
    As a pre-requisite for OBI Apps, JDK 1.5.x and OBIEE v10.1.3.3.1 have been installed without any issues. Hence, not sure why we are getting the above error for OBI Apps. We have searched Oracle documentation, blogs and forums, but not found any reason or solution to this problem.
    Any inputs will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you..
    Edited by: OBIGuy on Nov 2, 2009 1:00 PM

    Thank you for the input. The contents of the installation directory are as below:
    Oracle_BI_Applications
    |- doc (folder)
    |- createResponseFile.bat
    |- installWithResponseFile.bat
    |- media.inf
    |- setup.exe
    |- setup.jar
    |- version_apps.txt
    Before posting this query, I did run the setup.jar file. However, when the installation process reaches 100%, it terminates with the following error - */version_apps.txt does not exist*. Also, it rolls back the complete installation, so I do not get the OBI Apps files/directories such as DAC, dwrep, RPD, Web Catalog zip, etc.
    As shown in the directory structure, this file does exist. My guess is - since I am running the JAR file and not the EXE, it is unable to resolve the path of version_apps.txt correctly and hence throws this error. Having gone through related blogs and posts, I understand that OBI Apps can be installed on Win XP SP2.
    Any inputs?

  • How can i configure Distributed cache servers and front-end servers for Streamlined topology in share point 2013??

    my question is regarding SharePoint 2013 Farm topology. if i want go with Streamlined topology and having (2 distribute cache and Rm servers+ 2 front-end servers+ 2 batch-processing servers+ cluster sql server) then how distributed servers will
    be connecting to front end servers? Can i use windows 2012 NLB feature? if i use NLB and then do i need to install NLB to all distributed servers and front-end servers and split-out services? What will be the configuration regarding my scenario.
    Thanks in Advanced!

    For the Distributed Cache servers, you simply make them farm members (like any other SharePoint servers) and turn on the Distributed Cache service (while making sure it is disabled on all other farm members). Then, validate no other services (except for
    the Foundation Web service due to ease of solution management) is enabled on the DC servers and no end user requests or crawl requests are being routed to the DC servers. You do not need/use NLB for DC.
