OBIEE 11g client ODBC/OCI  issue

Hi Experts
I have been installed OBIEE 11g on Linux Box and installed Client in my Windows machine and I can connect to the server rpd also still here it is working fine
Now I want to enhance the existing rpd by connecting to the Oracle database to newly created schema
when I connect through OCI/ODBC interface it is showing an error (here I have been used local machine instead of Remote server from "import from metadata")
is there any additional configuration requred which need to do?

Hi
Thanks for your inputs but I can not find the path that you specified in my cliient machine(windows)
1.Copy the tnsnames.ora from Oracle Database home (ORACLE_HOME\NETWORK\ADMIN\) to the following locations.
*\OracleBI1\network\admin (Example: C:\OBI\Oracle_BI1\network\admin)*
*\oracle_common\network\admin (Example: C:\OBI\oracle_common\network\admin)*
weather we have any other path for client machine or I have to do the changes in server side(Linux)
waiting for your response

  • OBIEE 11g Action Link translation issue

    Hi All,
    I have a translation issue with the Action links in OBIEE 11.1.1.5 version.
    The pop-up which is displayed on clicking the column having action link is not getting translated. This seems to be the issue with all the action links.
    All other catalog objects, captions etc are translated properly.
    Has anyone faced similar issues ? Is there a workaround for this ?
    Thanks for any pointers.

    Action links are not getting translated. I faced a similar problem in OBIEE 11.1.1.6 version.
    What you can do is replace that action link with a 'link or image' option in dashboard objects.
    'Link or Image' types of object get translated in OBIEE 11.1.1.5 as well as OBIEE 11.1.1.6 version.
    hope this helps.

  • Obiee 11g tooltips/mousover/hover issue

    I have a client who has a database table which contains the tooltip text for each row in the database. She would like to have an image of a question mark so that when the image is "moused over"/"hovered over", the tooltip text is displayed without actually displaying the tooltip as a table column, she would like it to "pop up" only if the user decides to mouse over/hover over the image of the question mark, which is titled "Learn More About This Metric ...".
    Any thoughts? We're on OBIEE v11.1.1.6.2.
    Thanks, Dottie

    Column Header Tooltip (mouse over) in OBIEE
    You can set Tooltip/mouse over functionality over column header of the
    table. You can add HTML tag within column header. steps are -
    1. Go to column format and check custom heading
    2. add html tag like <b title="My Tooltip">My Column Header
    3. Go to instanceconfig.xml
    4. Edit it and add tag - *<HardenXSS>false </HardenXSS>*
    5. Restart the services.

    I am experiencing performance issues with view selector. It repeats the SQL for each view resulting in duplicate SQL to be run and thus resulting in poor performance of reports. Is this an expected behavior of view selector?

    In BI EE 10g, there was no Oracle Client bundled along with BI EE. So, BI EE will use your Oracle DB Home client to connect to the database. So, when you try to connect to the database through the Repository or BI Server, it will try to find the tnsnames entry in the Oracle Client of BI EE 11g instead of your database. There are 2 options to work around this
    Copy your tnsnames.ora and Paste it to
    1. Drive:Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_BI1}network\admin
    2 Drive:Oracle\Middleware\oracle_common\network\admin
    TNS File like,
    DBName =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = Your Server IP)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVER = DEDICATED)
    (SERVICE_NAME = DBName)

  • Connection Failed in OBIEE 11g Admin tool

    Hi,
    I have virtual image V305 of OBIEE on linux x86-64. It is working fine but I was not able to access Admintool from linux m/c.
    So I have installed OBIEE 11g client on windows XP. It is showing all the subject area & tables. But when I am importing any table from my DB, it is giving error "Connection has failed". I have done tnsname.Ora file in both folder Oracle client & OBIEE client
    Please help me as soon as possible.
    Thanks

    I've found a work around for using tnsnames:
    put the following string in "Data Source" and it works
    (DESCRIPTION =(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <your host>)(PORT = 1521))(CONNECT_DATA =(SERVER = DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME = <your database>)))

  • 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

  • OBIEE 11g ODBC connectivity error

    Hi all,
    I am getting the following error when I tried to access a simple query through Answers.
    "*Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).*
    *Error Details*
    *Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P*
    *State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS.

    *SQL Issued: SELECT s_0, s_1, s_2 FROM ( SELECT 0 s_0, "BISample"."Product"."BRAND" s_1, "BISample"."Target"."REVENUE" s_2 FROM "BISample" ) djm*"
    What I did was
    1. Create a DSN 'orcl', 32 bit Oracle ODBC driver. Tested and worked against the Oracle database.
    2. Import metadata using Local, ODBC 3.5 and DSN = orcl
    3. Build a simple BMM and subject area
    4. In the phyiscal layer, right click on a table, and select view data/update row count. Error with message "The connection has failed"
    5. Hoping for the best, create a simple query in answer and got the above odbc driver error in results tab.
    Interestingly, if I edit the connection pool and use OCI (my SID is also orcl), then everything works fine.
    I'm new to OBIEE and hope someone can tell me if I have missed a step or make any mistakes!
    Thanks!

    Oracle database is working fin, where as SQL Server is giving issues.
    You want me to create a ODBC connection in RHL 5 server to connect to SQL Server ? i am little bit confused here how to create !
    same time i have created ODBC for oracle apps database and imported and able to view data in RPD when i am in Online mode.
    When i open RPD in online mode and trying to import the data i dont have access to local machine ODBC's which is expected and if i change to "Remote Server" nothing is showing here.
    Appreciate your comments on the above.

    Hi ,
    I normally do this to fix this problem
    1>Disable the network , keep the loopback adaptor enabled and then restart the services.
    2> You can enable the network after services are restarted.
    If you want a more practical solution and dont want to disable network again and again, then you would find the blog below useful.

  • OBIEE 11g on Linux - do I need a DB Client Installed???

    I have installed an 11gR2 database on an OEL Virtual Machine, and on a separate VM installed OBIEE 11.1.1.5.
    The RCU created the metadata required for BI - and out of the box, OBIEE works absolutely fine.
    Now I'm trying to migrate a database and RPD etc from another (Windows) environment... and I'm getting errors:
    "Oracle Error code: 12154, message: ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified at OCI call OCIServerAttach. [nQSError: 17014] Could not connect to Oracle database. (HY000)."
    This suggests that I need an Oracle Client installed on my OBIEE server, to enable it to connect to my DB server.
    This seems odd - as RCU has created the metadata fine, and OBIEE is obviously using it? Do I really need a client now? Please could someone explain?
    Thank you!

    Oracle client should be installed in the OBIEE machine, then add Oracle server information to tnsnames.ora file . Later copy the tnsnames.ora into OBIEE installed directory, for more information see the following link.

  • 11g Client result set caching in OCI

    I'm trying out this feature in the 11.1.0.6 release. My understanding of this feature is that when enabled with the appropriate server-side init.ora parameters, a 11g OCI client connecting to the instance will cache SQL results locally in some fixed amount of RAM on the client. The idea is that network roundtrips would simply disappear in this situation.
    I'm not sure if it's working--or how to tell if it is. I have a 11g instance running and put the 11g client incl. sqlplus on a separate box, setting up TNS connectivity from client to server. Pretty standard stuff. I can connect fine and run the same query over and over, but I see incrementing execution counts on the database side and network traffic between the client and server so I'm guessing that the client-side caching isn't happening. There doesn't seem to be a ton of clear documentation on this feature so I wanted to see if anyone else has kicked it around.
    Bob

    I am also facing the same issue (enabling client result set caching). I am using Oracle Database 11g Release 11.2.0.2.0.
    I have made the below configuration changes
    1. Enabled the client result set cache by setting the server side parameter 'client_result_cache_size' to 10485760 (10 MB)
    2. Restarted the oracle instance after setting the above parameter
    3. Added a table annotation by executing the statement ALTER TABLE emp RESULT_CACHE (MODE FORCE). I verified that the annotation is applied by query the user table later.
    4. Enabled statement caching on the client side i.e. on the JDBC driver.
    5. Used prepared statements to execute the query so that statement caching kicks in. From the driver logs I verified that execution of subsequent queries after the first one used the same statement handle.
    After executing the select prepared statement query for three times I checked the CLIENT_RESULT_CACHE_STATS$ view. But this view didn't result in any rows.
    As part of troubleshooting I even tried adding the /*+ RESULT_CACHE */ hint to the query but the view didn't gave any result.
    Also on enabling sql trace I could see from tkprof that every execution of the query increased the number of rows fetched on the server which indicates that the client result set caching in OCI isn't working.
    Are there any steps which I have missed?
    Thanks in advance.
