OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 64-Bit - Define MS Access Data Source

Hi
On our 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 64-Bit OBIEE installation I'd like to define an ms access db as data source. We had that in OBIEE 10G too but there it was an 32-Bit ODBC-Source.
It seems that OBIEE 11G only accepts 64-Bit ODBC-sources. But for 64-ODBC there aren't any existing ms access drivers.
Did anybody deal with the same problem and found a solution for it?
Regards

Hi,
you download AccessDatabaseEngine_x64.exe and install it then you can able to find it excel data source in 64bit version. (we too faced this issues few years back and test with windows server 2008) working fine.
you can download from below link

OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 SSO with AD not working on MAC OS 10.6.8

Hi Experts,
We have setup SSO in our production with OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 version and Active directory. All seems to work fine on all browsers. But on MAC OS 10.6.8 when we use Safari 5.1.7 it doesn't work. But when we use the application on MAC OS version 10.7.5 and safari version 6.0.1 and it is working fine. Can anyone please let me know if you have come across the scenario and the solution for this. In windows it works perfectly fine on all browsers. Only this version of MAC and Safari is giving us the trouble.
Thanks in advance for any solution provided.

JavaScript and Cookies are enabled. my cookies list shows at least 3 associated with hulu. Funny thing is, if I grab the up/down control bar on right side of screen with my mouse, then hulu plays in a somewhat chopped frame by frame. As soon as I let go, the frame freezes yet audio portion continues.
I don't know what a munged Hulu cookie is, however.

OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 not formatting properly to PDF using Acrobat 9 Pro

We have upgraded to OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 and are using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. With Version 10 I was able to format reports that, when printed to PDF, maintained the report format such as repeating the column headings, font style and size, number of rows per page and column width. With this new version the only thing I can control appears to be the column width. No other format styles are recognized. I've tried custom CSS Style settings as well setting everything individually but to no avail. Any thoughts?

OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 - Sample Application (V207)

Hi Experts,
i have installed OBIEE 11g with patch released recently i.e. OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1. now i wanted to have look into Sample app, but when i go the link mentioned below for downloading. it downloads some VM files. is ther any link to download RPD,webcat,along with other database dump file. in short like stuff provided in SampleApp V107 Install Files (Manual install files - not Virtual Image )

Appreciate your help.

Hello Lalitha,
I found the reason:
the scripts on the Desktop 5-for APS.sh and 6-for EAS.sh are not working correct.
Immidiately after the scrips are done with there jobs to start the target components the just stated processes are killed due to the closing of the terminal windows.
This seems to be an ugly bug.
I'm using the folowing workaround:
Just type an additional command right ater the ordinary call in the sh:
"read dummy" (of course without the ")
This makes the terminal window staying open (because waiting for your input) and thus keeps the processes running. But do not press enter ...
There surely may be a more sensible way to accomplish this. However I'm not a linux guru.
Is someone out there to give us a more robust idea?
Regards
Andre
Followup:
No, just realized for 5-StartEssbAPS.sh it is even worser:
I have to:
1. open an new terminal window,
2. cd to the target directory: /home/oracle/epm/Middleware/user_projects/epmsystem1/bin
3. and from there start the script: ./startAnalyticProviderServices.sh
now the terminal windows remains open and the service alive.

OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 Patch Issue

Hi folks,
I applied the latest OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 patch earlier today. This was for a standalone instance and I didn't encounter any issues with the patching process itself. However, afterwards when I logged into Answers/Dashboard, the homepage looked very strange. The entire header component is missing, including the Oracle logo, the dropdown menus for dashboards, favorites, search text field, signout link etc. The Create section in the left pane is also empty. Everything else on this homepage looks fine. When I navigate to the catalog via the Browse/Manager section, the catalog comes up fine along with the previously missing header! So the header is only missing on the homepage.. Very wierd.
Would appreciate any hints on how to troubleshoot this.. Can I manually fix this is in one of the xml files? I'm hoping not to have to go back and re-do the patching!
thanks,
Axe

I think dhar is referring to the cleancat script to clean up the catalog binary cache. Here is the notes from the BP1 installation:
Clarification on the cleancat script: You may want to first navigate to the locations listed in the script to see if the files exist in your environment (they may not). If they do not exist, then you may scip running the patch. Additionally, the script may fail with an error. If that happens, go to the directories the script is trying to delete and delete them manually (if they exist).
P.S: I have manually deleted these files by navigating to the directories after installing the patches.
For Linux: cleancat.sh
================================
#!/bin/sh
# Cleanup catman binary cache
echo "Cleaning up Catalog Manager binary cache"
rm -rf $ORACLE_HOME/bifoundation/web/catalogmanager/configuration/org*
echo "Done"
For Windows: cleancat.cmd
================================
echo off
echo Cleaning up Catalog Manager binary cache
IF EXIST
%ORACLE_HOME%\bifoundation\web\catalogmanager\configuration\org.eclipse.osgi
rmdir /S /Q
%ORACLE_HOME%\bifoundation\web\catalogmanager\configuration\org.eclipse.osgi
IF EXIST
%ORACLE_HOME%\bifoundation\web\catalogmanager\configuration\org.eclipse.equino
x.app (
rmdir /S /Q
%ORACLE_HOME%\bifoundation\web\catalogmanager\configuration\org.eclipse.equino

echo Done

OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 - Upgrade Assistant hangs

Hi
On a new obiee 11.1.1.6.2 BP1-installation i tried running the upgrade assistant to upgrade my obiee 10g repository/catalog. On a 11.1.1.6.0 testsystem this worked without problem.
On the new system the upgrade assistant hangs in step 3 after configuring the source files and clicking next.
Did someone discover any similar behaviour or has a solution to that problem?
Thank you

we have figured out the problem. It was due to the issue outlined in Oracle Doc Id 1410233.1. the upgrade agent may fail if the IP address is not set. When manually set the Listen addresses for the Admin and Managed servers in the WebLogic Console, and the Listen addresses for CoreApplication in EM, everything worked. ua.bat could not proceed until IP address manually specified in WebLogic console and EM as per Oracle Doc ID 1410233.1.

Error in Installing OBIEE 11.1.1.5 on AIX 64 Bit,

Hi,
Ive tried a simple as well as enterprise install of OBIEE 11.1.1.5 on AIX 64 Bit Operating system,
midway through the installation I get the following error:
error in invoking target 'Client_sharedlib svr_tool' of makefile. If i proceed with the installtion, i face another 2 such similar errors , followed by some popups stating that Runtime error has occured.
The installation completes, However when the post Installation scripts start to execute, the fist step itself, i.e. create domain Fails. followed by failures of most of the other steps, ultimately i need to Abort the installation.
Im searching for answers as to what could have caused this, I cannot find anything conclusive in the huge log files. Would greatly appreciate if somone here has come across this before and could share some insights.
- Domnic

Does it have to be a software only installation since it is on AIX?
From the install doc:
The Software Only Install type installs the Oracle Business Intelligence software binary files in an Oracle home for later configuration as part of a Fusion Middleware deployment. This install type is required to install Oracle Business Intelligence on an AIX operating system or with a 64-bit JVM, such as on a supported 64-bit operating system.

Not getting connected to a data source in obiee 11g

Time series functions are not working in OBIEE for ESSBASE data source

Hi All,
I am facing a problem in OBIEE as I am getting error messages for measure columns with Time series functions(Ago,ToDate and PeriodRolling) in both RPD and Answers.
Error is "Target database does not support Ago operation".
But I am aware of OBIEE supports Time Series functions for Essbase data source.
using Hyperion 9.3.1 as data source and obiee 11.1.1.5.0 as reporting tool.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Aravind

Hi,
is because the time series function are not supported for the framentation content, see the content of the oracle support:
The error occurs due to the fact the fragmented data sources are used on some Time series measures. Time series measures (i.e. AGO) are not supported on fragmented data sources.
Confirmation is documented in the following guide - Creating and Administering the Business Model and Mapping Layer in an Oracle BI Repository > Process of Creating and Administering Dimensions
Ago or ToDate functionality is not supported on fragmented logical table sources. For more information, refer to “About Time Series Conversion Functions” on page 197.

Gianluca

OBIEE 10g/11g RPD as a Data Source - Driver Name for metadata imports

Hi,
I'm trying to use OBIEE's RPD as a relational source in Informatica 9.5.1 PowerCenter Designer. I have the ODBC connection to the OBIEE's BI Server and can connect to it. I'm using OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1 (I also need to do something similar with OBIEE 11g). I've posted this question to the Informatica forum as well.
In order to use OBIEE as a third-party relational data source, Informatica needs OBIEE's DLL for metadata imports.
I've tried, with no luck, NQSODBC.DLL & NQSDRIVER.DLL.
Does anyone know what DLL it might be? It could be an issue on Informatica's end as well.
Thanks.

Hi,
For some more details, you can refer to the following document;
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/discoverer/discoverer-metadata-conversion-assi-128504.pdf
My personal expreriences:
The Metadata Conversion Utility is an accellerator / assistant. It does not provide you with an end product. There is some additional handwork requiered. It could be a risk when you copy an old Oracle Discoverer environment. Shit in is shit out. Last but not least; There is not yet a workbook migration utility.

Oracle EBS Discoverer as a data source for OBIEE 11g

We are a heavy user of Discoverer workbooks with Oracle EBS. We're moving to OBIEE 11g(11.1.1.3) and have an RPD with both 3rd party and custom content.
I wanted to ask the experts here how I can leverage my Discoverer investment with out a lot of re-work in OBIEE. I briefly looked at the MigrateEUL.exe and it says it can move an EUL to an RPD, but talks about some limitations for complex EULs such as an EBS Apps EUL. Even if it created an RPD, I'm not sure how I can merge my current RPD and this newly gen'd RPD.
I also heard from someone that there is a way to setup Discoverer EUL as a standard data source in OBIEE 11g and consume it directly. I'm looking for a document or blog that explains these steps. Any pointers or experiences with the above is appreciated!!
Thanks.

Table views as data source to imported in OBIEE

I have a data source that consist of tables view and packages and function and I needed to import them into OBIEE physical layer. I never imported tables view into the physical layer , so I will like some help. As far as the packages and functions, how do you deal with them when importing the tables view in OBIEE?

Hi friend,
To import a view follow nexts steps on administration tool:
- File -> import -> from database
- Select correct connection type (at the same way when you import a table).
- Enter correct user and password.
- Go to correct schema which contain data base elements.
- Select check box "Views". Now it will appear views created in that schema.
Good luck.
