OBIEE 11g - Application role migration from DEV to UAT or to PROD

Hello All,
there are blogs which mentioned about application role migration from dev to UAT or Prod..
Kindly provide the correct path of below two files which we use for application Role migration
1. system-jazn-data.xml
2. jps-config.xml
I have searched these files but noticed there are 3 or 4 files with same name under different paths.
Kindly help. TIA
Regards

if you mess up these files, your system will get corrupted.
You need to take proper back up and then get it done.
another way where you can avoid this risk is to manually enter the roles. Creating roles is one time effort unless you keep deleting and creating new roles. If you manually do it you will have more control on migration and you can fix if there an issue easily. Note, the migration of roles does not map the groups to roles . You still have to manually map them.

2. jps-config.xml

How to change the name of HFM EPMA Application while migrating from dev to

We have HFM EPMA application in Dev env on 11.1.2.2. We want to migrate aplication to production environment with different name. We are using Life cycle management to migrate the application. I know life cycle management but do not know how to change the application name during migration.
As we have EPMA application so copy utility will not work. Please helop.

Hi ,
You could use the Copy app utility to migrate the application from Dev to Prod.You could have your desired app name while setting up the copy process.
The EPMA application from Dev will be converted to an Classic application in Prod after the copy.
Then you might need to use the "Transform Classic to EPM Architect" and convert it to an EPMA application.
So your Application with the data from Dev will be moved to Prod.
To Navigate ,
Launch Workspace
Navigate ->Administer->Transform Classic to EPM Architect
Thanks and regards,

Hi,
Is there a way to migrate Application Roles etc., from one environment like Dev to Prod from WLS. Currently we are manually doing it between environments.
Thanks for your time and help.

Hi,
Can u please try this once..
Just copy the xml file system-jazn-data file from the following path from ur dev environment to prod environment..
D:\MWHOME\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain\config\fmwconfig
And restart the services..
Please mark if it correct/helpful....

Can we migrate SharePoint Designer 2013 workflows from DEV to UAT to Live without any issues? Any bad experiences?

Hi there,
1. Can we migrate SharePoint Designer 2013 workflows from DEV to UAT to Live without any issues? Any bad experiences?
2. When we deploy these workflows - does IIS need a restart?
Thank you.

That depends, did you create reusable workflows? Those can be deployed to another environment (of course depending on dependencies within the workflow itself)
Kind regards,

Migrating from DEV to TST in 11g

I have a rpd and web catalog in my Windows DEV environment. I copied the RPD and Web Catalog over to my Linux environment, brought them online and did a refresh of the GUID's. When I log in as "weblogic" I have less permissions than my users, yet all roles and privileges are the same between environments as I did a compare through WL, EM and Answers. Is there some other step I am missing? Also, when I open up the catalog through catalog manager and look at the users, I do not see a weblogic user folder, but see a "My Folder" as a user.

Hi,
Have you migration weblogic console User,Group (Identity) and application role ( in EM).?
Thanks

OBIEE 11g Application Performance Monitoring

Are there any best practices or recommendations for Application Performance Monitoring for OBIEE 11g?
I see that from Fusion MiddleWare Control, we can navigate to Business Intelligence -> CoreApplication (right click) -> Monitoring -> Performance
And from here we have a huge amount of performance metrics to choose from.
What I'm interested in finding out is:
1). Out of these hundreds of metrics, are there a subset of "core" performance metrics that Oracle recommends monitoring that gives a good baseline for performance of the application?
2) What are the options for capturing/gathering/saving these metrics for historical and trend analysis?

Excellent post. Thanks. Is there some sort of trial of the tool you guys built that's described in the post you linked?
"In addition to the out-of-the-box options above, here at RittmanMead we have developed our own OBIEE monitoring tool.
DMS metrics are stored directly on disk or through a database, enabling both immediate and retrospective analysis. Custom dashboards enable the display of both OBIEE and OS data side-by-side for ease of analysis. Integration with third-party tools is also an option."

Catalog Migration from Dev to Prod

Hello,
Certain users of our system are unable to login to OBIEE after we migrate to Prod. Getting the below error
access denied for user to path /users/*USERNAME*/_portal/dashboard layout
USERNAME is the userid used to login to obiee
In our Prod, Users have access to Answers and hence they save their reports under My Folders.
While we migrate the new set of dashboards and reports from Dev to prod, we overwrite the System, System.atr, Shared, Shared.atr files of Prod with the corresponding files from Dev. Thus retaining the Users and Users.atr files of Prod.
Security: All are users/pwd are stored in the RPD
Is there something wrong with the migration procedure or is it a bug?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

+2) Why did you migrate the "System, System.atr" ? Try without this one, but just the "shared" folders and files.+
System, System.atr are migrated since this folder stores the Privileges and data formatting etc. These configurations need to be migrated to prod as well.
However I tried what you suggested and USERNAME is able to login and see the dashboards. But the Privileges and data formatting changes in Dev didnt get into Prod
There is a Security folder under System. Do you know what it is used for. Should I try to retain this folder in Prod?I don't really know.
The object permissions (like report permissions) are supposed to be in ATR file (i think so...), but there are other permissions and security things everywhere.
But i appears to be a clue to solve your problem.
+3) Do you have a backup of the previous Prod webcatalog ? If so, try to copy the USERNAME/_portal content into the new one.+
This might work, but I really need to identify what is the root cause for this since we have migrations bi-weekly and this issue might pop-up again for a different userOf course. I just suggested that to see if if the /username/_portal were really different, despite you didn't upgrade them.

AIA FP 11.1.1.3 - Deployment Plan Generation for migrating from Dev to Test

Hi All,
Can you please validate the following from a Deployment from Dev to Test perspective. We have almost completed the development for an interface using AIA 11g, and are in the process of moving the interface from one instnace to another, and any help is highly appreciated.
Let us the take Purchase Order Integration between a legacy application and Oracle Purchasing, File Adapter-> Requester ABCS -> EBS -> Provider ABCS -> DB Adapter, which is a classical flow.
1. The Functional person defines a project in the Project Life Cycle Workbench
2. Functional decomposition done through Purchase Prder Business Task, and Service Solution components for each composite in the classical flow
3. The ABCSs are created by linking the corresponding Service Solution Components from the LCW using Service Contructor. These composite.xmls will have the annotation populated by the Service Constructor. It is okay for these composites to have concrete wsdls during development phase, but the concreate ones have to be replaced with abstract ones before geenrating deployment plans.
4. The EBS is not changed, it will have the annotations prepopulated, and there is no need to add any annoations to them
5. The File Adapter and DB Adapters (Transport Adapters?) have to be annotated based on the developer guide
6. The xsds and wsdl go into the mds based using the scripts provided. Any other common components can also be placed into MDS.
7. Once the development is done, Harvest the composites using the AIA Harvester.
8. After harvesting, from the AIA LCW, Generate the BOM. If we harvest all the 5 composites for the Business Task together, and do Generate BOM, does it capture all the composites? Or do they capture only the composites created using the Service Constructor? Or we have to add all the compistes manually to the Business Task?
9. Add Harvested Contents by Editing the BOM -> "Search and Add Existing Composite" option. We couldnt locate the "Add Harvested Composite" option while right clicking the Business Task.
10. Once all the harvested composites have been added to the BOM, export as XML
11. Using the BOM, generate the DeploymentPlan. The deployment plan will have references to the xsds and wsdls in the MDS
12. Using the Deployment Plan and AID, deploy the composites into a new instanec.
These are the questions I have,
1. Is the above understanding correct?
2. Since the MDS is in the Dev database, a pre-requisite for AID seems to be deployment of xsds and wsdls into the Test MDS schema. Can you please validate?
3. What happens to the bpels, xsls, mplans etc? How do they move from one instance to another?
Regards,
Anish

Hi Anish,
Following are the responses -
These are the questions I have,
1. Is the above understanding correct?
1. The Functional person defines a project in the Project Life Cycle Workbench - Yes
2. Functional decomposition done through Purchase Prder Business Task, and Service Solution components for each composite in the classical flow - Yes
3. The ABCSs are created by linking the corresponding Service Solution Components from the PLWB using Service Contructor. These composite.xmls will have the annotation populated by the Service Constructor. It is okay for these composites to have concrete wsdls during development phase, but the concreate ones have to be replaced with abstract ones before geenrating deployment plans.-Yes but location attribute in binding.ws section of composite.xml should always have concrete WSDL location.Use <replaceToken> in DeploymentPlan to replace the ip and port.
4. The EBS is not changed, it will have the annotations prepopulated, and there is no need to add any annoations to them - Yes
5. The File Adapter and DB Adapters (Transport Adapters?) have to be annotated based on the developer guide-Yes
6. The xsds and wsdl go into the mds based using the scripts provided. Any other common components can also be placed into MDS.- Yes
7. Once the development is done, Harvest the composites using the AIA Harvester.-Yes
8. After harvesting, from the AIA PLWB, Generate the BOM. If we harvest all the 5 composites for the Business Task together, and do Generate BOM, does it capture all the composites? Or do they capture only the composites created using the Service Constructor? Or we have to add all the compistes manually to the Business Task?-The 5 composites created by you should have a corresponding service solution component defined.When you define a service solution component in PLWB then a GUID is generated in the database table.You need to retrieve that value and manually enter in the annotation section of composite.xml except for ABCS.Then only the BOM will contain information on all the composites.
9. Add Harvested Contents by Editing the BOM -> "Search and Add Existing Composite" option. We couldnt locate the "Add Harvested Composite" option while right clicking the Business Task.*-Once you harvest it will be visible.*
10. Once all the harvested composites have been added to the BOM, export as XML - Yes
11. Using the BOM, generate the DeploymentPlan. The deployment plan will have references to the xsds and wsdls in the MDS - Yes
12. Using the Deployment Plan and AID, deploy the composites into a new instance.-Yes
2. Since the MDS is in the Dev database, a pre-requisite for AID seems to be deployment of xsds and wsdls into the Test MDS schema. Can you please validate?
Yes the 'UpdateMetaData' section under 'Configurations' in the DeploymentPlan will upload XSDs, WSDLs, DVM,Xrefs into MDS.
3. What happens to the bpels, xsls, mplans etc? How do they move from one instance to another?
The 'Deployments' section will deploy the project into server and write the information into MDS.

Was this database migrated from dev or prod?

We have several environments (e.g., development, staging, test, training, production). When migrating a production database to a new version of SQL, we also migrate the related environments. Sometimes the developers want a refresh from production in
development. Sometimes they want the old development database. A question came up about the source of a development database - was it from dev or production?  If I'm lucky, the information I want is listed in the following query.
SELECT rh.[restore_date], rh.[destination_database_name], bs.server_name, bs.database_name
FROM [msdb].[dbo].[restorehistory] rh
LEFT JOIN [msdb].[dbo].[backupset] bs ON rh.backup_set_id = bs.backup_set_id
WHERE bs.server_name <> @@SERVERNAME OR rh.destination_database_name <> bs.database_name
If I'm not lucky, the history is no longer present. This is often the case because we don't keep a lot of history. Is there any other metadata that will help me identify where a database came from? Should I insure that the most recent
restore record for an existing db is not cleaned out, no matter how old it is?  Thanks.
Randy in Marin

I was hoping that the source would have been hidden in a system table some place - reliable and no extra work/politics. I think the answer is looking like, "The information is gone - it can't be done." Yes, a new business process
would certainly provide the information.  However, changing organizational behavior is not for the faint of heart.
I think it would be easier to update the history cleanup.  This would mean that I can't use msdb.dbo.sp_delete_history as it currently exists. It has very simple logic. I might create a version of my own that keeps the records I want.
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedbackdetail/view/967074/sp-delete-backuphistory-option-to-exclude-special-old-records
Not a bad idea. They could put a "keep" flag on the row and let you set it.
Or you can copy out the rows you like and maintain your own table with your own logic.
It would certainly be nice if every backup kept a record of its own source and wrote that to some read-only location in the restored database, but this does not seem to be the case. Maybe I should file a connect suggestion on that - only my perception
and experience with connect is to not waste my time, most suggestions are misunderstood and rejected out of hand.
But what I was suggesting about the business process contents is that it is already there - any dev source database has developer IDs in it that never occur in production, and production databases have only production IDs that you might see are newer than
anything currently in dev. So no change in business process would be required, just some knowledge of what's already there and a couple of queries to count some differentiating factors.

OBIEE 11G HOLAP( drill through) from ORACLE OLAP to Relaltional table

Hi Experts...
I have some idea that the drill through from an essbase cube to an relational cube can be possible with few limitations in OBIEE 10g. I am looking for the same feature with ORACLE OLAP option . I have OLAP cube built in 11g (leve5 - granularity to one of the dimension) , and relational has 7 levels. In OBIEE once drill down to the level 5 it has fetched data from OLAP , and going beyond to level 6 -7 then it should get the data from relational table.
Do anyone had gone through such solution, Please kndly share your inputs and documents which would be helpful.
Thanks
S

This is very easy. It's really no different from setting up OBIEE to drill from one table to another. Let's assume that you have your cube mapped in OBIEE using the OBIEE plug-in for Analytic Workspace Manager. Here is an outline of the steps:
1. Add the dimension table and fact table to the OBIEE physical layer.
2. Add the new level to the OBIEE dimension object in the business layer.
3. Add the dimension table as a new logical table source to the existing dimension table in the business layer.
4. Add the fact table as new table in the business layer.
5. Define joins in the physical and business model as appropriate.
6. Set set keys in the tables and the dimension as appropriate.
7. Set the level for the new dimension table to the appropriate level in the dimension.
Again, it's really best to just think about this as drilling from one table to another.

OBIEE 11g - How to return from analysis in correct order

I have a problem when using the return link in the bottom of analysis. I doesn't always return to the previous analysis.
I have a dashboard (Dashboard 1) containing a dashbnoard prompt and an analysis (Analysis 1). I have also two other analysis Analysis 2 and Analysis 3. I have put a "Navigate to BI Content" Action Link on one of the columns in Analysis 1, which navigates to Analysis 2. And in Analysis 2, I have put the same kind of action link on one of the columns, from where I navigate to Analysis 3. I.e. the navigation route is: Dashboard 1 => Analysis 2 => Analysis 3.
When I navigate from Dashboard 1 to Analysis 2, I have a Return link in the bottom of the analysis. When I click this, I will be send back to Dashboard 1. This works perfectly.
But when I navigate further from Analysis 2 to Analysis 3 and then click the Return link in the bottom of Analysis 3, I will be send strait back to Dashboard 1. I would have expected to be send back to Analysis 2, which is were I was before Analysis 3, and not to the beginning of by navigation route.
Is there a way to ensure that the return links only takes one step back in the navigation route instead of going back to the origin?
Best regards,
Henning Eriksen

Hi Dhar,
That is a very valid point (and I am in 11.1.1.7), but when I click the breadcrumb link for the previous analysis it looks like the previous analysis is regenerated but this time without any criteria. As a matter of fact, I don't get an answer back from the database because of the amount of data. So the breadcrumbs doesn't seem to work properly either. And the browser BACK buttom doesn't work, since that also sends me back to the original dashboard, but this time the prompts will be reset, which is even worse.
Thanks,
Henning

ODI Objects Migration from Dev to Test and Prod Enviornments

Hi ,
Can someone please advise the order of the steps that have to be followed for ODI code migration form Development to Test and Prod Environments ?
Below are the Details ,
ODI Version : 11.1.1.6.0
Development Environment : 1 Master Repository (M1) and 1 Work Repository
Test Environment : 1 Master Repository (M2) and 1 Execution Repository
Prod Environment : 1 Master Repository ( M2) and 1 Execution Repository
Test and Prod environments are on the same master Repository.
Thank you.

Thanks for your prompt response !!!
"If they are not in sync, import models, datastores, topology first & then import interfaces/projects"
Do we import Models, data stores ? Since they are execution repositories we can only import scenarios right.

OBIEE 11g Can it read from Web Services

Hi All,
Can Webservices be one of the datasources to OBIEE?
If yes, Can you please point me to a documentation on how it can be done.
Thank you for your time and help.

I think Webservices understand the xml format, so I would suggest to look for the workaround using XML.
You can import xml using xml odbc drivers.
If helps pls mark
