OBIEE 11g in Microsoft Hyper-v

Hi everyone
1.- Oracle support Obiee 11g on Microsoft Hyper-V?
2.- Oracle support Obiee 11g on VMware?
Please help me.
thanks
Regards
Pedro

Just to backup what Brian is saying and to question xploda's advice.  Hyper-V can easily run more virtual CPUs (total number of CPUs assigned to VMs) than are physically available on the host.  That's one of the primary reasons behind virtualization
- get better utilization of your physical resources.  The host does not reserve any CPU for itself, and you can't reserve specific CPUs for specific VMs.  The hypervisor takes care of scheduling the CPU and memory across all processes needing access
to them.  To say that Hyper-V won't be effective with two 4-cpu VMs on an eight-CPU host is questionable.  That would be making the assumption that every single CPU is 100% utilized, which rarely, if ever, happens.  People love virtualization
because it enables them to take servers that were only using part of the available CPU resources and consolidate them with other servers not fully utilizing their CPU resources.  Add them together on another machine to get better overall utilization.

  • OBIEE 11G - Unable to login to presentation services

    Hi All,
    I have done a simple installation of OBIEE 11G on my coloud server with OS windows server 2003, SP2 , 32 bit.
    Installation is 88% completed with,
    Executing : opmnctl start coreapplication_obiccs1 and Executing: opmnctl start coreapplication_obips1 failed. Came to know that this is related to clusters and ignored the error.
    RCU is installed in different database server.
    Now i am trying to login to presentation services with weblogic as userid and password that i had given during installation of obi.
    I am getting error that userid or password is invalid...
    One thing i came to know from the thread OBIEE 11g Cluster Controller Failed to start is,
    i have a bad IP in /etc/hosts... below are the entries in the file... can anyone please tell me what necessary changes i should do?

  • Error RCU-6083 during RCU installation prior to OBIEE 11g on Solaris

    Hello,
    I have an application server where I have an Oracle Database EE 11g running on Solaris 10 upgrade 9.
    The server has the following characteristics:
    - SUN V440
    - RAM 16GB
    - 2 processors Ultra Sparc III, 1.5GHz
    - OS: Solaris version 10
    - Disk space: 500GB
    - Oracle Weblogic Server 11g (10.3)
    - Ethernet 1 Gpbs
    I want to install the RCU schemas and OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.5.0) on this server so I verified all the pre-requisites for RCU and OBIEE and are OK.
    I am using the Repository Creation Utility (11.1.1.5.0) for Microsoft Windows (32-bit) to install the RCU because although the database is running on Solaris, the installer is not working through that server so I have a PC connected to the network and through that PC that has windows7 i could run the installer and connect to the db, using the SYSTEM user (because when i select sys as sysdba, although the password is correct, it doesn't connect to the db).
    However, the installer is sending the ERROR: RCU-6083 regarding the pre-requisites for the BIPLATFORM.
    I already use the following command alter system set processes=500 and restarted the db services, however the wizard installer is still sendig that error.
    What can be done to succesfully install the RCU?
    Thanks and regards,
    Rebeca

    Hello User,
    Below my comments in blue:-
    1) Do I need to install any Oracle DB (like to install 10g) prior to running rcu.bat file?
    Yes
    2) If I install Oracle 10g DB, does if create any compatibility issue while installing OBIEE 11g?
    Check below the compatibility matrix

  • Unable to connect to SQL Server 2008 from OBIEE 11G(on 64 bit Linux box)

    We are unable to connect to connect to SQL Server 2008 from OBIEE 11G which is on 64 bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
    Infrastructure: OBIEE 11.1.1.5 64bit, on 64 bit Red Hat Linux Enterprise Linux 5.6 , MS SQL Server 2008 on 64 bit Microsoft Windows Server
    Issue Description: Unable to connect to SQL Server 2008 from OBIEE11G RPD
    Details: We are unable to connect to SQL Server 2008 from OBIEE which is on a 64 bit Linux box. We created the ODBC connection on Linux box to the SQL server. Whenever we try to import metadata it throws an error that says ‘Connection Failed’.
    Here are the steps we followed to setup the ODBC connection on Linux box.
    1) We updated the user.sh file with the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64 values that point to $ORACLE_HOME/bifoundation/odbc/lib
    This is where we found the driver for SQL server SEmsss23.so.
    2) We updated the odbc.ini file with the entry for SQL server with the connection details
    SI_SQL_Server_DEV = SQL Server
    [SI_SQL_Server_DEV]
    Driver=/u001_OAS/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_BI1/bifoundation/odbc/lib/SEmsss23.so
    Description=DataDirect 5.1 SQL Server Wire Protocol
    Address=10.230.216.52,54970
    AlternateServers=
    AnsiNPW=Yes
    ConnectionRetryCount=0
    ConnectionRetryDelay=3
    Database=SVBDW_NEW
    LoadBalancing=0
    LogonID=SIDatavalidation
    Password=~~~Password123
    QuoteID=No
    ReportCodePageConversionErrors=0
    3) We updated the IDENTIFIER_QUOTE_CHAR with single quotes instead of double quotes in the DB features of the RPD
    4) We updated the bash_profile file to point the ODBCINI variable to the path where the OBIEE odbc.ini file is present.
    Export ODBCINI=/u001_OAS/Oracle/Middleware/instances/instance1/bifoundation/OracleBIApplication/coreapplication/setup/odbc.ini
    The error in nqsserver.log file says “[nQSError: 16001] ODBC error state: IM002 code: 0 message: [DataDirect][ODBC lib] Data source name not found and no default driver specified.”

    Hi,
    Make sure SQL Configuration Manager make sure the TCP/IP enabled. please try below method
    Method 1
    Re Create a new ODBC & Oracle Bi Server DSN Configuration test it and use it in the connection pools.
    define your ODBC data source in your server where the BI Server is installed. Check your DB connections in your physical layer and make they are defined on your BI Server as well.
    Method 2:
    try using the complete TNS in below format in the datasource name section:
    (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST =DB IP)(PORT = 1521)) ) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = ORCL) ) and provide the credentials.
    Method 3:
    To use the OCI call interface you need to have oracle client DB to be installed so that you can establish a connection using that DB credentials and connect to the remote dB and then import the tables.....this is the rule of thumb.
    hope helps you.
    Thanks

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • "Graph Prompt" align center in OBIEE 11g

    Hi All,
    I have got a requirement to align the "Graph Prompt" center in OBIEE 11g (11.1.16.2 BP1). I could remove the boarder around the prompt using the following CSS.
    <style>
    .PTPageControl { border:0px; padding:0px; }
    .PTPageEmbedded { border:0px;}
    </style>
    Can someone please let me know how to algin "graph prompt" center? Thanks in advance.

    See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg622942%28v=VS.85%29.aspx
    Basically, IE9 breaks flash ExternalInterface calls if your flash component is embedded with an object tag with an embed tag fallback, and the object id and embed name is the same.
    The easiest workaround is to tell ie9 to render your page in IE8 Standards mode. To do this, insert this in the element:
    <!-- Enable IE8 Standards mode --> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" >
    Otherwise, you might just want to use the object tag only or embed tag only.

  • OBIEE 11g having problems with password protected PDF files.

    I have been able to get an analysis in OBIEE 11g to display PDF files.
    However, some of these documents contain sensitive information and must be secured. Since anyone with access to the file name
    could simply type in the proper path in the browser window, this is unacceptable. In order to try and prevent this, I created a pdf file
    that is protected with a password.
    Opening the file by itself, produces the desired results. The password is requested before the file will open.
    When I open the file through my analysis in OBIEE, Adobe reader activates, but the password is not requested and the file does not open.
    It is as if OBIEE is somehow not sensing that Adobee is asking for a password.
    Does anyone have any experience with this?

    FYI, in case anyone is interested, I found out what is going on.
    I created the original password protected PDF using Microsoft Word. I did this because I do not have a full version of Adobe Acrobat that allows me to create files.
    On a hunch, I found someone that has a full version of Acrobat, and had them create a password protected PDF file. This file worked perfectly.
    Apparently, Word is not strictly adhering to PDF guidelines, and OBIEE senses the differences, resulting in the file not opening properly.
    Something to keep in mind for anyone linking to password protected PDF files in OBIEE.

  • Installing  Repository Creation Utility (RCU) for OBIEE 11g

    Hello,
    We are working on installing the Oracle Business Intelligence Entreprise Edition Plus 11g (v 11.1.1.6.0) for a POC in our Company's network.
    We have to install the OBI Server and other server-side components on a IBM AIX (64-Bit) server; and the client tools on the local Desktops.
    My queries:
    *1. I am downloading the following softwares for this setup. Please help me understand is this the complete list of softwares required, or are there any more softwares required for OBIEE 11g intallation?*
    List of softwares to be downloaded:
    1) Oracle Business Intelligence, v. 11.1.1.6.0
    - for AIX (64-Bit):
    Disk 1 (1of2) (1.4G) (cksum 4182440856)
    Disk 1 (2of2) (1.5G) (cksum 2020935297)
    Disk 2 (1of2) (1.7G) (cksum 796853559)
    Disk 2 (2of2) (1.3G) (cksum 685152953)
    Disk 3 (1.6G) (cksum 1431984641)
    2) Repository Creation Utility (11.1.1.6.0)
    for Microsoft Windows (32-bit) (320M) (cksum 2503314275) OR for Linux x86 (32-bit) (391M) (cksum 201758785)
    Link for (1) and (2): http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-enterprise-edition/downloads/bi-downloads-1525270.html
    3) Oracle Business Intelligence Developer Client Tools Installer (11.1.1.6.0)
    - for Microsoft Windows x86 (32/64-bit): (360M) (cksum 3317017977)
    Link for (3): http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-enterprise-edition/downloads/bus-intelligence-11g-165436.html
    NOTE: The JDK 1.5.0 is installed
    *2. Where should the additional required software 'Repository Creation Utility' be installed in this case?*
    I can see it is available for 32-bit OS (Windows or Linux x86), and that is why I suspect it to be a client-side software - which is to be installed on my local desktop. Hence, Can I download the Repository Creation Utility (11.1.1.6.0) for Microsoft Windows (32-bit) (320M) (cksum 2503314275)
    Please clarify.
    *4. I will not be installing any of the Oracle BI Applications, so will I require the software Oracle Business Intelligence Data Warehouse Administration Console (10.1.3.4.1)?*
    I assume NO.
    *5. IMP: Is there a Web server (E.g. Oracle WebLogic Server) included in the OBIEE suite, which gets installed in the default installation settings?*
    OR Is there a need to download and install a separate Webserver on the AIX system before installing OBIEE.
    Please reply ASAP.
    Thanks,
    Shweta.

    Although it is a POC, but the installation has to be done on a AIX6.1 remote system, which will be used as a server in the enterprise, with 5 to 7 people accessing it. So 'simple install' is not suitable in this case.
    The AIX6.1 system has a JDK 6 (64 bit).
    I understand that the OBIEE 11g suite comes with a Oracle WebLogic Server (OWLS) installable included in the suite. However, in case of Software Only installation type, the OWLS needs to installed first and then the installer has to be started in 'Softwar Only' mode.
    Could anyone please suggest:
    *1) does 'Enterprise Install' type suite on the AIX6.1 system? If yes, does it mean that it will install JDK once again? is this recommended, as the host system is a shared server and the existing JDK 6 (64-bit) can be in use by other applications on this system.*
    *2) If (1) is not true, is there a way to install the Oracle WebLogic server using the OBIEE 11g installer itself? or do I need to download the WebLogic server installer separately from the OTN site?*
    Thanks in advance for any helping pointers on the above.
    Please reply ASAP, as this is urgent.
    Thanks,
    Shweta.

  • Problems installing OBIEE 11g on Windows Server 2008 64 bit

    Hi, I'm trying to install OBIEE 11g on Windows Server 2008 64 bit (standard edition, SP2), and it's blowing up running the installer. The installer gets past the first couple of "info" screens, but blows up prior to coming to the first "real" screen with an error:
    Microsoft Visual C++ Assertion Failed:
    Program: ...
    File: ../../../src/share/native/sun/font/t2k/t2kstrm.c
    Line: 132
    Expression: pos <= t->maxPos
    Has anyone seen this and/or have an idea how to work around this? Note that I did do the prerequisite download / install of the 2005 Visual C++ 64 bit libraries.
    Thanks,
    Scott

    Just to close the loop on this thread, this does indeed seem to be some sort of font / java issue on our servers. I've been completely unable to get the install to work using the GUI. However, if I run it from command line using the -silent and -response paramaters along with a proper response file, the install went perfectly. I'm going to continue working the SR with Oracle - don't want to be stuck using -silent mode when things get more complicated, but at least now I can move forward.
    If anyone else has a better workaround - please let me know. "Silent" mode is workable, but difficult and time consuming.
    Thanks,
    Scott

  • No user and group in console of OBIEE 11g

    Hi,
    I'm facing a problem in OBIEE 11g, after I login the console, in security realms, there is no user and group in it, all services has been started, and it prompt following message:
    This page is not available because the necessary security providers have not been configured, or those configuration changes are pending and not yet activated. Please activate the changes and (if necessary) restart the Admin Server to make this page available.
    thank you!
