OBIEE 11g cannot run marketing segmentation

I found that OBIEE 11g has bugs when running marketing segmentation. I have configured the segmentation as it was in 10g but still got error when I tried to create a segment. Can anyone knows how to make it work? Does anybody successfully run marketing segmentation in OBIEE 11g? Please help!

OBIEE 11g Server running but URL dashboard not opening

Hi My admin and BI manage server is running however i am not able to open the Dashboard. it is giving me the below URL...
Error 500--Internal Server Error
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
*10.5.1 500 Internal Server Error*
The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request
Also do any of you have any idea what is the password of SampleAppLite.rpd
and what is the maning of two passwords when we open any RPD in online mode?

Hi,
I had the exact same problem.
To solve the problem, I made sure that the RPD password was correct. I had typed this incorrectly (probably with Caps Lock on) when putting in the SampleApp RPD.
You can modify this password by going to the FM Enterprise Manager:
http://<server>:7001/em/
- After logging on, go to Farm_bifoundation_domain / Business Intelligence in the tree on the left
- Select coreapplication
- On the right, select the "Deployment" tab, and the "Repository" subtab
- Click Lock & Edit Configuration button
- Change the repository password, make sure it is correct - I did this by typing the password in a notepad file, and to check it I opened the RPD file in offline mode in the administration tool, and then copy/pasted the password in. If the RPD file opens without problems in the AdminTool, then copy/paste the password into the two fields in the Enterprise Manager.
- Click Apply and then the Activate Changes button
- Now you need to restart the services. Click the link "Restart to apply recent changes". This will take you to the "coreapplication" - Overview tab, where you can click on the blue "Restart" button to restart the services.
After restarting it worked fine for me.
Hope this helps!

Setting up OBIEE 11G Marketing Segmentation pointing to dual CRM apps

We like to bring into another CRM app into our OBIEE 11 single instance. Currently we already have one set up with Marketing Segmentation. We would like to bring another CRM app into this single instance of OBIEE. My question is, can we configure our single instance of OBIEE 11g to mulitple CRM app running Marketing Segmentation?

1) I deleted bridge-utils, netcfg
2) I edited /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf:
interface=wlan0
#bridge=br0
edited /etc/dnsmasq.conf:
interface=wlan0
dhcp-range=192.168.0.2,192.168.0.255,255.255.255.0,24h
and edited /etc/rc.local:
ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig wlan0 up
3) I added in autostart these daemons: hostapd, dnsmasq and iptables.
Profit!

Modifying the configuration files in OBIEE 11g

Hi
We are facing an error when we tried to to add "<DashboardMaxBeforeMenu>" tag in the instanceconfig.xml manually and restart the presentation services of OBIEE 11g .
I had come across few suggestions that, configuration files in OBIEE 11g cannot be modified manually. I am doubtful on these suggestions . So please, let me know for sure wether we can modify the configuration files in OBIEE 11g manually or not.
It will be very helpful if the process to modify the configuration files in OBIEE 11g is shared with us.
Thanks.

Hi,
I could not tell you whether the; <DashboardMaxBeforeMenu>10</DashboardMaxBeforeMenu> still works in 11g.
What I do know is that you could manually edit the configuration files. The only thing is when you modify this file via the Enterprise Manager, your customizations get lost. You have to manually add them again.
Cheers,

How to install 11g ODBC client drivers to access OBIEE 11g server?

I have a user running Microsoft Excel on Wondows XP that wants to use ODBC to access an OBIEE 11g server running on Linux. The OBIEE 11g installation documentation indicates that a full install of OBIEE is required to install OBI client tools (including ODBC drivers). OBIEE version 10 had a separate client installation kit that made it very easy to install ODBC drivers. Does 11g have a client only installation kit like version 10? OR do I really have to perform a full OBIEE install on each client machine just to get the ODBC driver installed?
Any recommendations on how to install the OBIEE 11g ODBC driver, that DOES NOT require a full OBIEE installation, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Richard Brooks

Does 11g have a client only installation kit like version 10? No
do I really have to perform a full OBIEE install on each client machine just to get the ODBC driver installed?Yes
Any recommendations on how to install the OBIEE 11g ODBC driver, that DOES NOT require a full OBIEE installation, would be greatly appreciated.Wait for the next 11g patch release, it should be fixed.

Cannot get into 'Dashboard Properties' (OBIEE 11g) using IE 8

When I enter an OBIEE 11g dashboard (as an Administrator) and click on "*Edit Dashboard*" & then click on "*Dashboard Properties*":
1) the "*Dashboard Properties*" box pops up but...
2) only the upper porting of the "*Dashboard Properties*" box displays
3) the lower portion of the box never displays...it just stays all white. This portion is where the grid that would normally display the list of dashboard pages (where I could choose to hide pages)
4) at the bottom left-had part of my browser, it says "*(11 items remaining)*"
5) my browser stays locked like this & the only way to get out of it is to ctrl+alt+del
Several things to note:
1) I'm not sure when this started happening, but I noticed it sometime last week. I know in the past I was able to get into the dashboard properties, but now I cannot.
2) I am on OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0
3) I am on Win7 32-bit
4) I am on version IE 8.0.7601.17514
5) I can run OBIEE in Firefox and edit the dashboard properties just fine. This issue does not seem to exist in Firefox
6) If I change to "*compatibility view*" in IE 8, I seem to be able to go into the "*Dashboard Propeties*" box just fine...HOWEVER, when I try to go into "*Edit Dashboard*" (while in "*compatibility view*") many of my objects (columns/sections) overlap & are weirdly placed all over the screen.
7) I have tried modifying the httpd.conf file as per the official Oracle white paper relating to OBIEE 11g in IE8 (Doc ID 1312299.1) and it didn't seem to fix my issue
8) I have also tried uninstalling & re-installing IE8 but that also did not seem to fix my issue.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? If so, any suggestions on what one might do to fix it?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Good suggestion. I have tried IE 8 and 9 and Firefox with the same results. An error is thrown in IE 8:
"Message: Can't move focus to the control because it is invisible, not enabled, or of a type that does not accept the focus."
I believe this is referring to the fact that it cannot move focus to the username text field as the field is not displayed.
Another note, our steps for upgrade were as follows so not sure if this is part of the problem:
1. Install 11.1.1.3 OBIEE
2. Upgrade to 11.1.1.5 OBIEE
3. Run ua.bat for publisher schema and repository
4. Now, do not see username/pw at login and thus cannot login

OBIEE Marketing Segmentation

Hi..
Anybody is worked or knows about working with segmentation in OBIEE 11g?Could you please share the steps or procedure to understand.Already i am refereing to http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E12852_01/v11113/mktgseg/mktgsegTOC.html
and also need to understand the integration of OBIEE 11G with siebel 8.1 or later.
Question1:Why we will use marketing segmentation? purpose of it?

The below content is lifted from my old notes ;)
Market segmentation is a marketing strategy that involves dividing a broad target market into subsets of consumers who have common needs and applications for the relevant goods and services. Depending on the specific characteristics of the product, these subsets may be divided by criteria such as age and gender, or other distinctions, like location or income. Marketing campaigns can then be designed and implemented to target these specific customer segments.
I would suggest start with Administartor tool->Manage->Marketing->
Marketing Manager->menu Help->Marketing Help
If I'm not wrong, I dont think current 11g version is capable of integrate with Siebel. I heard that its going to be with 11g 1.7 version.
I too looking for same(11g Integration with Siebel) info let me know if you come across any thing.
Thanks in advance,
SVee

Error when trying to run the rcu.bat file as part of OBIEE 11g installation

when trying to run the rcu.bat file as part of OBIEE 11g installation on windows 7 64 bit I am getting the following error
"windows cannot find C:\Users\manoj\Desktop\Oracle.Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again".
Please help me how to overcome this error, I am not able to understand why it is looking for C:\Users\manoj\Desktop\Oracle.
Thanks
Manoj

after setting the ORACLE_HOME and Path environment variables also....I am still getting the same error...so is it like RCU can be run only on windows 7 32-bit machines and it does not work on 64-bit machines? and also it seems like the previous versions of OBIEE 10.1.3.X does not support windows 7 64-bit machines...
please help me finding a solution to this error....
and what are all the versions of OBIEE can be installed on windows 7 64-bit machines?
can't we install OBIEE 11g on windows 7 64-bit machines without including RCU?
thanks
Manoj

Cannot Print/Export to PDF in OBIEE 11G

Hello,
Since upgrading to OBIEE 11g (currently on 11.1.1.6) I have random occasions where I am unable to print a whole page or even export a single report to PDF. We experienced this when on 11.1.1.5 but all I get is an "Internet Explorer cannot dispaly this page" It is not related directly to IE as I am able to reproduce the error with Firefox as well.
Has anyone else seen and overcome this issue? I have been unsuccessful finding any information on this in Oracle's support KB. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

It has been a while since I have checked this. Sorry for any delay. We have attempted to rearrange items however have had no luck.
On small break through we have is that we have a custom link setup using Microsoft IIS on our server so we can access the application from outside of our network rather than just internally. We have found that we only have the print/export issues when using this external link so there may be an issue with our IIS configuration. Just throwing that one out there in case anyone has had a similiar issue with IIS configuration and found a fix.

Segment in Obiee 11g

Hi All,
i am working on OBIEE 11.1.1.5 , in that Marketing-> segment.
I don't have idea about segment, how to work on segment.
when i select segment then it show-> select target level.
how to create target level or it is default created by BI.
Please guide me
Thanks
Prashant

Hi Kobe,
No P2 holds the parameter name like PresentationTable.ColumnName, in your form you may go for complete name or just column name and before submitting the form you can define the Action url.
I would suggest to read section 6.3.2.1.
ex:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
changeAction(url) {
var TestVar = form.inputbox.value;
document.this_form.action="saw.dll?Go&Path=/Shared/Test/SB2&Action=Navigate&P0=1&P1=like&P2=Customers.Region&P3="+TestVar;
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM NAME="myform" ACTION="" METHOD="GET">Enter something in the box: <BR>
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="inputbox" VALUE=""><P>
<INPUT TYPE="button" NAME="button" Value="Click" onClick="changeAction(this.value)">
</FORM>
If helps pls mark.

Giving access to users to run BI Publisher reports in Obiee 11G

Hello Experts,
I am trying to give permission to couple of user groups to run the BI publisher reports i have created in Obiee 11g analytics. when they try to run them they error out contact administrator and i have admin rights and i can run the reports. I dont see anything regarding BI publisher in Manage privileges page to grant permission to the groups. Where should i enable or grant the permission to these groups so that they can run those reports. Any advise is greatly appreciable.

Running OBIEE 11g services for Linux

Hi everybody,
I would like to know the way to start OBIEE 11g services in a Linux (Red Hat) machine.
As far as I have seen in the web, there are four main steps to perform in order to make OBIEE running:
Run WebLogic.
Run NodeManager.
Run ManagedServer.
Run OBI Components (using OPMN).
The problem I have is that in our installation there is no ManagedServer (bi_server1). Therefore I deduce that OBIEE was installed as simple version (actually I don’t know where I can see whether it is simple or enterprise version). So the question in my case is: how to run OBIEE services without ManagedServer? Otherwise, is there any way to upgrade from simple to enterprise version, or I should just uninstall and then install the enterprise version?
Thanks in advance,
Hibai.

Thanks for the reply Sasi. Now I know that we have a Simple Installation.
Anyway, I'm still not able to make OBIEE available. If I execute the commands you provided me, I see some errors in corresponding created files. However, running them without nohup option and without any other parameter (just the .sh file), WebLogic appears available and OBI components seem to be running as well:
Processes in Instance: instance1
---------------------------------+--------------------+---------+---------
ias-component                    | process-type       |     pid | status
---------------------------------+--------------------+---------+---------
coreapplication_obiccs1          | OracleBIClusterCo~ |   11313 | Alive
coreapplication_obisch1          | OracleBIScheduler~ |   11312 | Alive
coreapplication_obijh1           | OracleBIJavaHostC~ |   11314 | Alive

coreapplication_obis1            | OracleBIServerCom~ |   11311 | Alive
Am I doing something wrong? In principle the steps you mentioned (which are also those ones that I was executing the previous days) have been executed properly, so I'm a bit confused.
Thanks again,
Hibai.

Would anybody be able to provide instructions on how to do this? i.e. I'm not sure on the format of info to be entered and which uname/password weblogic might need.
Having looked in the Middleware Home, it looks as though weblogic is wlserver_10.3
Any advice appreciated.

Hi,
I am not sure on windows but on Linux, I run the below command first time and it then stores the password in boot.properties.
startWebLogic.sh -Dweblogic.management.username=weblogic -Dweblogic.management.password=<PASSWORD> -Dweblogic.system.StoreBootIdentity=true &
If I memory is correct, the boot.properties are under the domain.... ~/AdminServer/security/ folder.
