OBIEE 10g multiple instances of scheduler

Hello,
I have server with multiple instances of Oracle BI: one Oracle BI Server with two different RPDs and two Presentation services with different web catalogs. Customer wants to run Oracle Delivers on both instances of Oracle BI. I tried setup 2 instances of scheduler but faced with a problem that I can't pass to scheduler which config file (instanceconfig.xml) to use.
Can you help with solution how to run multiple schedulers with different configurations on one server?
Thanks in advance,
Vladimir

If I'm not wrong, this wont work. Scheduler instanceconfig.xml file will be override based on Scheduler settings using each RPD file.

OBIEE 11g Multiple instance hitting Presentation catalog in round robin fashion

Hi All,
Our requirement was to have two instances of OBIEE 11g in a single box ie one for Dev and one for TEST
For OBIEE 10g, i see lot of information, but for OBIEE 11g i dont see any information on this..
Has anyone tried implementing multiple instances in OBIEE 11g through vertical clustering.?
so far i did vertical clustering of Presentation servers
ie
1 BI Server
2 Presentation Servers
2 Presentation Services Plug-in ( analytics.ear, analytics2.ear)
The issue that i am facing is that the below analytics link sometimes hits one catalog and sometimes other catalog... ( its random hitting) [looks like Load balancer is acting here]
http://constance.localhost.com:9704/analytics
Also i read on Rittman Blog that ..
"Presentation Services plug-in and Presentation Services have been decoupled. So, essentially a single web server can communicate to multiple presentation services in a round-robin fashion without the need for load balancer in vertical clustering. In horizontal clustering with multiple machines, load balancer will be required though in order to switch between different HTTP servers based on the incoming load. "
Any ideas how to switch off the load balancer?
Thanks

Can we have Multiple Instance on same Node in Oracle 10g RAC

Hi All,
I am planning to implement the RAC in Oracle 10g.Before that i have one doubt regarding RAC.
My question is "Can we create multiple Instance on Same node(Server) ?"
is it possible.
Any ideas or thoughts would be apperciable.
Thanks in Advance.

This is where it is important to keep the separation between 'database' and 'instance'.
A database is the set of files that contains the data (and the redo, control files, etc). A database does nothing by itself, other than take up lots of disk space.
An instance is theCPU cycles (running software) and the memory to control the database.
In Oracle RAC, you can have as many instances controlling one database [at the same time] as you want (within reason). Each instance must be able to access the disk(s) that contains the database.
These multiple instances can be on the same computer (effectively taking up a lot of server memory and CPU for nothing) or they can be on separate computers.
If they are on separate computers, the disk subsystems must be able to be shared across computers - this is occasionally done using operating system clusterware and is the main reason why clusterware is required at all. (This is also the toughest part of the pre-requisites in setting up a RAC and is very vendor dependent unless you use ASM.)
These instances need a communication connection to coordinate their work (usually a separate network card for each computer) so they do not corrupt the disk when they are trying to access the same file, and possibly the same block, at the same time.
In a RAC configuration, instances can be added, started, running, stopped and removed independent of each other (allowing a lot of high availability) or can be started and stopped as a group.
Each instance gets it's own SID, which is in no way any different than a non-RAC SID. It's just the name of a service that can be invoked. The neat thing is that the SID
a) helps the DBA keep things straight by lettiung us talk about 'instance A' (the Oracle software to be running over on computer A) vs 'instance B' when starting, stopping and managing;
b) helps the application by providing targets that can be listed in the TNSNAMES.ORA [against one service alias], which is used by ORacle Networking to provide automated load balance or failover (instance/SID a is not available, I guess I'll try the next in the list)
Hope that helps the concept level a bit.

Multiple instances of a table & join supported in OBIEE SQLQuery report

Hello All,
I am creating a report in BIP based on the RPD created in OBIEE.
I have to use multiple instances of same table in this case. But when I do that, I am getting "'The query contains a self join/This is a non-supported operation" error.
Have anybody got his error before? Could anybody help me solving this?
Thanks

Multiple Connection Pools in OBIEE 10g

Hi Experts,
My question is as follows:
Let's say in the RPD I create 2 connection pools in 1 database schema. I understand that that 1 connection pool should be dedicated for repository & session variables, and 1 connection pool dedicated to physical queries on the table.
How does OBIEE know which connection pool to use for the physical tables? I haven't been able to find anything in the RPD that tells a table which connection pool to use when running a query in answers.
Example:
Connection Pool A (used to generate session variables)
Connection Pool B (in 'theory' used for physical tables)
What is stopping answers from using Connection Pool A? What is forcing answers to use connection pool B?
An answer in OBIEE 10g is fine.
Thanks!
John

When a connection pool is named in an initialization query then that connection pool is always used even if the user is explicitly denied permission to use the connection pool.
This means that a connection pool used for initialization which does not have permissions for any user or user group can occur in any order in the connection pool list. But if it has permissions for a specific user or user group then it must be placed after any general query connection pools for the same user or group to ensure that it is not used for general purpose queries.

BI 10g multiple installation on same windows machine

Hi All,
I have a requirement where in I want to install OBIEE 10g twice on the same windows server. Can we achieve this by installing it the second time as another OS User? What are the steps that we need to follow in this scenario?
Most importantly, Is this approach supported by Oracle?
Thank you so much,
Krishi

Hi Krishi,
Yes, I think we can install OBIEE 10g on the same windows box multiple times. However, there is some manual effort needed to change the port numbers of each NQServer, sawserver, javahost,oc4j instances to resolve port conflicts.
I do not remember oracle saying that this kind of design is not supported though.
Hope this helps.
Thank you,
Dhar

Multiple instances spawned after daylight savings time change

This is a known issue and there is an SAP Knowledge Base Article created on this issue:
1448881 - Multiple instances spawned after daylight savings time change
Below is the information from the SAP Knowledge Base Article:
Symptom
Scheduled reports that are supposed to run once a day, run multiple times.
Duplicate instances are being created.
Environment
BusinessObjects Enterprise XIR2 SP5
BusinessObjects Enterprise XIR2 SP5 + FP5.x
Reproducing the Issue
A report is scheduled to be run on a daily basis - this is a Recurring schedule.
Normally the report runs once a day, at a particular time.
After Daylight Savings Time change, the report runs at the specified time, but immediately after the successful instance, another instance is spawned.
Many more instances spawn after each instance completes.
Cause
This is a known issue: ADAPT01318487. This issue is because of DST and how our code handles this change.
Resolution
There is currently no known fix for this issue. There is however a script that can quickly resolve the problem.
The issue it seems is related to Daily recurring schedules.
What this script will do:
it will run a query to display all your DAILY Recurring jobs
you will have the option to choose your jobs and reschedule them by 1 hour
you will then highlight the same job and change them back by 1 hour
by modifying the schedule times, you are modifying the schedule itself and this will keep the issue of duplicate instances from occurring.
Exact Steps to Complete:
Stop the Job Servers.
Double click on the .hta file.
Change the System Name to that of your CMS name.
Add the Administrator's password.
Click Logon.
Click List All Recurring Instances.
Select All.
Make note of what it says in: Schedule Selected Recurring Instances: Should be 1 hr earlier.
Click Reschedule Selected Recurring Instances.
Choose All instances again and change Schedule Selected Recurring Instances to 1 hour Later.
Click Reschedule Selected Recurring Instances.
Now start your Job Servers.
The issue should not occur again.
The Script is attached here, but please review the SAP Knowledge Base article 1448881 as well

Hi Nicola,
- The multiple spawned instances issue ONLY affects XI3 SP3+ only. For XI3 SP1 and SP2 all Fix Pack levels this is not an issue as it was introduced as a problem in SP3.
- 1568239 notes the Java version and can apply to all O/S environments and is updated to reflect that.
If you are located in Europe you can also apply the patches in advance of the DST change to avoid the problem. If you are in Americas at this point utilizing the clean up scripts for this year is the approach needed to clean up the spawned instances and reschedule the existing schedules.
Thanks,
Chris

Bubble chart in OBIEE 10g

Is there any way to increase the bubble size of bubble chart in obiee 10g? Like whether we can use javascript or HTML Code to achieve it?

Hi,
Thanks for reply.
But I cannot understand your point. My requirement is something different. In the X axis I have project_number and y axis I have measures like budget,commitment & incurred_cost. Now the vertical chart gives me the summarize view. Now for a particualr project say AA, I can see three vertical bars showing budget,commitment & incurred_cost. Now the requirement is if I click on budget bar it will popup a new window showing related details of budget which is a different report, if click on commitment bar it will open commitment report in another window and so on.
I am not able to implement this like multiple navigation from a bar chart.
Can you please help on how to do this in OBIEE 10g.
Thanks

Problem in navigating from one report to another in OBIEE 10g

Hi,
I am facing an issue with OBIEE 10g while applying navigation on my reports.
Lets suppose I made a report showing list of all items(in broad categories) sold on a particular day, say Dairy, Frozen Foods, Chocolates etc.In this report there is a date prompt showing the date of sale.
Now there are certain items that are distributed within these categories, like dairy includes milk, cheese, butter etc.
Hence, my navigation should be like when I click on a particular item category, the control should move on to the report which has all items under that particular category and the prompt for this report should show the same date as passed in the previous report.
But sometimes what happens is that on clicking the navigation from first report to the second one, the date is not persisting in the prompt. I say sometimes because at times the navigation does work correctly. This is a bug of Obiee or something which is giving unexpected results.
Kindly help with your suggestions.
Thanks
Ankita

Ankita,
This is not a bug in OBIEE...I'm sure something is missing. If this is working for some cases and not working for some other case then you will need to find the root cause. Try in bits and pieces...Step by Step with some dates (unit testing). Ideally this shud work properly.
For an instance try with OBIEE drilldown feature and not with navigation with a single sale date and observe the behavior.
Hope its clear...

Create opaque view in OBIEE with multiple tables

Hi,
I need some help with the opaque view since i have never created it in past. I want to create an opaque view which fetches data from multiple tables. Is it possible to do that ? Or is there any other alternate option available in OBIEE ? I read the following blog and other similar blogs on opaque views but could not find option to use it for query with multiple tables:
Oracle Business Intelligence: Creating Opaque View in Physical Layer in OBIEE 10g
Also can you please advice how to join two tables from different databases in OBIEE ?
Kindly advice.
Regards,
Andy

Hi Andy,
As per my knowledge you can create Opaque View on one table at a time.Joining two tables from different databases yes we can create a report from multiple data sources.Check this

Multiple instances of OBIEE11g in same server

Hi Experts,
I need some advice on Creating Multiple instances of OBIEE11g in same server.
the following are the details
i have got windows server R2, installed weblogic 10.3.6 with 64bit JDK, then oBIEE 11.1.1.6.0 software only install and configuration
till here everything is up and running without any issue.
now i want to set up second instance , need some clarifications on points mentioned below:-
1. same home directory can be used (c:\Middleware in my case) for second instance.
2. to start second time software only install shall i mention same c:\Middleware\Oracle_BI1 or shall i mention c:\Middleware\Oracle_B2
3. do i need to mention Bifoundation_domain and weblogic (userid, portno) separately
Awaiting your reply.
Cheers,
Ankit

Hi,
Once completed instance1 installation then try to another installance2 with custom port option.
*1. same home directory can be used (c:\Middleware in my case) for second instance.*
Yes
*2. to start second time software only install shall i mention same c:\Middleware\Oracle_BI1 or shall i mention c:\Middleware\Oracle_B2*
Ensure that you install each instance into a separate Middleware home on that computer.
*3. do i need to mention Bifoundation_domain and weblogic (userid, portno) separately ?*
No need,1st install WebLogic Server first and then perform a Software Only Install then try to do the Configuration Assistant multiple times (or once for each instance) to configure each instance in the same, or shared, Middleware home.
for more, Refer section 2.2.3.2 - Installing Multiple, Standalone Oracle Business Intelligence Instances on a Single Computer - of the Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) E10539-02

Now for deliver through email, I have followed this OBIEE 10G/11G - How to configure the Mail server of Scheduler/Delivers | GerardNico.com (BI, OBIEE, OWB, DataWare…
So I have set up an email smtp in Job manager - scheduler configuration. It's a non SSL smtp and I have tested the smtp information on another application to make sure it's correct. I restarted presentation server and scheduler in windows - service. But when I test the iBOT, I got following error message:
[nQSError: 75005] Failed to send AUTH command. 5.7.3 Authentication unsuccessful.
Any idea? I am sure the smtp server, port, username, password are correct because they work in another application. Thanks.

Actually my problem is, I was able to login to Delivers using Administrator but unable to save a iBot. It says Authentication failed.
Please help.
Thanks

Please find my config values below. I guess something is wrong and hence I am still unable to save an iBot. Please help
