Install Essbase 11.1.2 and OBIEE 11g on one and the same Box (Linux 64bit)

Hello
Did anyone already try to get Essbase 11.1.2 and OBIEE 11g installed on the same box? In my case I am trying it on OEL 5.5 64bit.
How did you proceed?
First Essbase or first OBIEE or have WLS installed standalone first?
Encountered any hurdles?
Thanks for any hints or links.
Thomas

let me check... yeah u can do that dude i cant tell u how to do it but i can give u some idea
try to see properties file or db files for web logic ...i think it where the port number are stored and in war file is where multiple instance info is stored
iam sure that u can create multiple instance as long as u give different ports (yeah u have to other wise u cant config it :))
Go through this doc

Cannot login to OBIEE 11g EM,console and analytics Remotely

Hi All,
We are facing a issue with login in EM, Console and Analytics of OBIEE 11.1.1.5.
We can login in EM, console andanalytics on the host where OBIEE installed. But from other machine, for example my laptop, the login process is hanging there. It could not login successfully.
Any ideas?

Hi Jai,
I am able to access the login pages of em,console and analytics when i am giving the credentials its trying to log in and then redirecting to same log in page with no error returned.
Server is installed on the windows 2008 machine and the browser used is I.E 8 as per the company rules we are not supposed to use any other browser.

OBIEE 11g RPD and case study document required for practice

Hi OBIEE guru's,
Could you please help me by posting OBIEE 11g sample RPD and case study document for creating Answers and Dashboards.
I need to brushup my skills on creating Answers and Dashboards.
Thanks in advance.

Satya,
have you looked at the sample app. This has many different cases and you can "play" with the data yourself. Quite powerful:

OBIEE 11g and Weblogic on different Servers - Windows 2008 R2

Hi
Can we install OBIEE 11g(BI Server and Presentation Servers) on one server and weblogic and another server. We have a requirement where we need to differentiate all the components on to its own server for performance reasons. How can we do the configurations if we have installed on how to talk to weblogic after the installations.
Thanks

Yes we can do that
a) Install BIS and BIPS on one server and deploy BIPS plug-in on Weblogic server where it is installed,so the both will talk with the weblogic server.

OBIEE 11g - View selector performance with YTD,MTD,Dept ...

We are implementing BI Apps 7963 OBIEE 11.1.5. Financial Analytics. We have a financial report with multiple compound layout views MTD,YTD, by company, by dept.We are experiencing some memory leak issues by Sawserver when we run the report. How does the view selector works ? does it run the query in Database when first time report is accessed and then build all these different views on BI server or query will be run against database for specific view when accessed? Any known performance issues with view selectors ? Any one used view selector for different versions of reports (MTD, YTD ..).
Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

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?
Thanks.

Strange OBIEE 11g URL problem

Hi, I'm implementing OBIEE 11g at work, and I'm seeing something odd I've never experienced before. When I'm inside the firewall, if I go to the URL http://servername:9704/analytics, everything works fine. But if I'm outside of the firewall and use the same URL, it doesn't work (at all). Instead I have to use http://servername:9704/analytics/saw.dll?bieehome (at which point, everything works fine).
It seems like somehow there is a redirection going on that doesn't work from outside the firewall, but is fine inside of it. Any ideas where I need to look to figure out what the problem is and fix it? (note - I'm not savy with WebLogic....)
Thanks!
Scott

Hi,
It should work for your case..
have faced the same issue, just try with hostname. then it should worke and
go the window/system32/drivers/ect/host......this is the way we can change url path,
My URL path is based on my domain name and system DNS. I gave IP address and gave path like reports.abc.com
1)
change it the IP addresss/host name see the below path and change it
Drive\Oracle\Middleware\instances\instance1\config\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreapplication_obips1\instanceconfig.xml**
change it under <Hosts></Hosts> tab
2) also change it drive:\Oracle\Middleware\instances\instance1\config\OracleBIServerComponent\coreapplication_obis1
NQSConfig.ini file
FMW_SECURITY_SERVICE_URL = "http://IP:9704";
[JAVAHOST]
JAVAHOST_HOSTNAME_OR_IP_ADDRESSES = "hostname"; # This Configuration setting is managed by Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Manager
#JAVAHOST_HOSTNAME_OR_IP_ADDRESSES = "<machine-name1>":<port_number1>,<machine-name2>:<port_number2>;
after changing restart your BI all services and Run it it should work
THanks

Developing on oracle analytics and custom analytics-approach/best practices

**I posted this on the OBIEE forum as well, but I am thinking this may be the more appropriate forum now**
For those out there using the Oracle BI applications (OPA, OFA) and developing within them and also managing custom analytics projects within the same repository on OBIEE I was curious as to how you managed the following:
1. Naming conventions. For example, we are following a particular naming standard and practice on our custom developed objects that does not necessarily 100% align to the naming standards pushed out by Oracle Analytics. Specifically, if you are adding a variable (dynamic or static) to OPA .. what naming standard do you follow? Does OPA have a naming standard for variables on the RPD (prefix, etc..)?
2. In general, do you find yourself having to make a lot of customizations/updates to the vanilla OPA install? And as you do identify them, what is your process for incorporating them into the vanilla install?
Thanks in advance.
k

are you referring to Project and financial analytics?
Yes, Oracle BI Apps .. specifically Project and Financial Analytics.
For example - we have a couple custom static variables we want to add and then use them as filters in the BMM layer on the Fiscal Calendar dimension. Are there any specific naming standards you would follow for creating those variables. It doesnt seem like there is a real naming convention use in the out of the box variables.
Thanks,
k

Windows Services for OBIEE 11G

Hi Guy's..
I have successfully installed OBIEE 11G Enterprise Edition and able to access OBIEE 11G via http://localhost:9704/analytics/saw.dll?bieehome&startPage=1 by only starting the 'Start BI Services'.
The issue what i am facing is OBIEE 11G is only opening/accessible when i logged in to server( Starting the 'Start BI Services').Once i logout then unable to login to OBIEE11G via above link.
Can any one tell me i am missing with any install/configuration steps in installing the OBIEE11G? Please guide to the chapter in documentation..
If not then why OBIEE 11G software is built with out included with Windows Services.
I mean 'OBIEE 11G Services' have to always running with out dependencies on 'User Logged In or not',My objective is to make OBIEE 11G always up and running..

Hi,
Given below is the status..
D:\OBIEE11117\instances\instance0\bin>opmnctl status

Even though every thing is alive,but still i am not able to access the OBIEE.
If i run 'Start BI Services' then only i am able to access the OBIEE11.1.1.7.

Benefits of the 64bit Version of OBIEE 11g?

Hello,
I am in the process of verifying if the 32bit or the 64 bit Version of OBIEE 11g would suit our needs. The platform we will install OBIEE would be windows.
As far as the certifications go the 32bit Version of OBIEE is certified on the 32bit Versions of windows, so if we want to run a *certified* combination on a 64bit OS the 64bit version would be the way to go. OUI however doesn't complain when installing the 32bit Version on a 64bit OS.
As far as the Windows Server versions go there is no 32bit Version available anymore for future releases (starting with server 2008 R2), so in the future the (certified) way to go would be 64bit. However, for the sake of argument let's assume we are staying on Server 2008 where a 32bit version is still available.
I've found a lot of blog posts on how great OBIEE 11g is, and if one has the chance one should go for the 64bit version. That's nice, but I am missing the +whys+ and certainly the +buts+. Also, the oracle documentation (Oracle&#174; Fusion Middleware System Requirements and Specifications) tells me the requirements for both architectures, but most certainly not when to use the 64bit version, and when a 32bit installation still will suit my needs.
The main reason for me to go for a 64bit version would be if we would have a huge amount of concurrent user sessions where of course the 32bit version will be constrainted by the Memory Limit imposed by the 32bit architecture. I guess the types of reports etc. might also come into play when it boils down to memory.
As for now I've installed the 64bit and the 32bit Version (11.1.1.7) and the first thing I can observe is that weblogic consumes double the memory on the 64bit version even with no user session connected and nothing to do for OBIEE whatsoever. So for a small installation (say ~ 20 concurrent sessions) I am tempted not to go for the general advice from above to "use the 64bit version if you can" as it's highly oversized.
Are there any other drawbacks in using the 32bit Version of OBIEE 11g for small installations (besides the certification question, and the "one day you might have more users" reason)? And when would it be advisable to go for 64bit? I know a general "do X when you have Y sessions" is not possible as every sytem behaves different, so I understand that a general answer isn't possible. But personal experiences would be helpful
thanks in advance,
cheers

I have recently used the iLife bundle to process footage on the 3rd birthday party of my friends' son (my first production). I used iMovie to edit the footage, added audio tracks from iTunes, dropped a few photos from iPhoto on the drop zones of iDVD, added a slideshow to the project as well. Boy, my friends were amazed when I played the DVD before them (they were not mac users).
With such limited effort one need to spend on it (time and money), the output iLife gives is, what Jobs likes to say in keynote, phenomenal.

OBIEE 11g: Searching Subject Area for measure names in Answers

Hello,
I have installed OBIEE 11g SampleApp 825 and just exploring the provided set of dashboards.
From the samples, I am performing following steps:
- I selected Edit Dashboard (for 2.1 Simple Demo Dashboard)
- For Column 2, in the Master Detail 1 Compound View, I did Edit Analysis
- which took me into the Answers design interface with 4 tabs (Criteria, Results, Prompts, Adv).
In the Criteria tab, there is the Subject Area pane on the left where it shows the Subject Area this Answers report is built on and a bunch of Folders like Time, Products, Base Facts etc.
Beside the Subject Area pane, is the Selected Columns pane where you drop fields from the folders.
This particular analysis (Product Line Analysis) has three columns: Revenue Analysis, Products Hierarchy and T05 Per Name Year.
Now, I want to find the folder to which the Revenue Analysis measure belongs. So, I started expanding each node/folder in the Subject Area pane and visually searching for "Revenue Analysis"....cannot find it!
How to determine which Subject Area folder a field on the Analysis belongs to? In Oracle Discoverer, only the Folders from which fields are selected are "enabled" so it's easy to navigate straight to that folder. Or again, in Discoverer, you can actually search for a particular field name and it will return all folders that have that field name pattern. While the Search feature on the top row is useful in finding which Analysis/Report match a string, it does not help in identifying relevant Subject Area Folder fields that match a pattern.
Is something similar available in Answers/OBIEE 11g?
Thanks,
Manish
Edited by: mhathi on Oct 21, 2010 8:53 AM

Again answering part of my own question...It was staring me right in the eye and I couldn't see it:-)...When you have a column in the Selected Columns pane, it's source is right there above the field name. If there is no source folder listed, then it might mean it's a formula. For example in my case, the Products Hierarchy column has the word Product above it...that's the folder it belongs to.
Good. But, the follow-on question still remains, how to search for folders containing a particular string, to find say all folders that have columns like %Margin%?

Security question in obiee 11g

Hi,
I have a question on security configuration on what we have in 10 and deploying to 11g.
Q1. how deploy external database security(users, groups) to OBIEE 11g.
we used external database security in 10g. all the users and groups maintained in database and obiee rpd has security groups. repository has group information only so it is deployed groups information to obiee 11g by upgrade assistant but how can it deploy users in external database?
Q2. all the users and roles in LDAP server. in this case how obiee 11g read users and group information?
Thanks
Jay.

Q2. all the users and roles in LDAP server. in this case how obiee 11g read users and group information?
Obiee11g is intergated with weblogic fusion middleware (Console,EM). in that console have feature to enable mulitiple LDAP authentication
while configuring AD via weblogic console we need to give the users and group info

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. [nQSError: 43119] Query Failed: [nQSError: 16001] ODBC error state: IM002 code: 0 message: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified. (HY000)*
*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!

Environment:
OBIEE 11g/WLS 10.3.3/Oracle database 11g installed on RHL 5
Client tools are installed on local Vista 32 bit system.
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.
Thanks

OBIEE 11g Map Visualization Error - basemap is defined in spatial meta-data

Hi All,
I have installed OBIEE 11g successfully on my Desktop Machine, deployed the Sample Applications regarding Mapviewer and its working fine. I have seen all the Maps and they are running fine in fact they are editable and i can easily do anything with those Maps but,
The issue is that when i am going to create a new Report and try to integrate Map on it then it shows an error as display below;
A basemap is required to render a map. Please ensure that atleast one basemap is defined in the spatial meta-data
Error Details
Error Codes: EMGUNIA3
Location: saw.views.evc.activate, saw.httpserver.processrequest, saw.rpc.server.responder, saw.rpc.server, saw.rpc.server.handleConnection, saw.rpc.server.dispatch, saw.threadpool,
saw.threadpool, saw.threads
I have also followed this link ( http://erpthings.blogspot.com/2011/01/obiee-11g-inbuilt-mapping-and-spatial.html ) but it is also stuck on the same error at the end.
I didn't understand the problem why its giving an error like this while the Sample Application worked fine so, if there is any way to define a basemap in spatial meta-data plz guide me OR
Is there any way to integrate Map with OBIEE 11g ?
Cheers,
Masood.

This question has been solved!
Basically you need to ensure the database schema where the data source (Navteq) has been imported must have the privilege "Create Type"
This comes from the Oracle manual extract as shown below:
1.4.4.3 Creating MapViewer Array Types, if Necessary
For each database schema that it connects to, MapViewer checks for the existence of
the following SQL array types that support array-type binding variables that might
exist in some predefined themes:
■ MV_STRINGLIST
■ MV_NUMBERLIST
■ MV_DATELIST
If these types do not exist, MapViewer attempts to create them in the database schema
associated with the MapViewer data source. However, if the user associated with that
schema does not have sufficient privileges to create new types, a privileged user must
create the types by connecting to the data source schema and entering the following
statements:
CREATE or REPLACE type MV_STRINGLIST as TABLE of VARCHAR2(1000);
CREATE or REPLACE type MV_NUMBERLIST as TABLE of NUMBER;
CREATE or REPLACE type MV_DATELIST as TABLE of DATE;
Cheers.
