OBIEE 11g Multiple instance hitting Presentation catalog in round robin fashion

Hi All,
Our requirement was to have two instances of OBIEE 11g in a single box ie one for Dev and one for TEST
For OBIEE 10g, i see lot of information, but for OBIEE 11g i dont see any information on this..
Has anyone tried implementing multiple instances in OBIEE 11g through vertical clustering.?
so far i did vertical clustering of Presentation servers
ie
1 BI Server
2 Presentation Servers
2 Presentation Services Plug-in ( analytics.ear, analytics2.ear)
The issue that i am facing is that the below analytics link sometimes hits one catalog and sometimes other catalog... ( its random hitting) [looks like Load balancer is acting here]
http://constance.localhost.com:9704/analytics 
Also i read on Rittman Blog that ..
"Presentation Services plug-in and Presentation Services have been decoupled. So, essentially a single web server can communicate to multiple presentation services in a round-robin fashion without the need for load balancer in vertical clustering. In horizontal clustering with multiple machines, load balancer will be required though in order to switch between different HTTP servers based on the incoming load. "
Any ideas how to switch off the load balancer?
Thanks
Ashish

  • OBIEE 11g Refresh GUIDs for Presentation Services

    Hi Friends,
    I am facing problem while trying to refresh the GUIDs for the Presentation services during migration from DEV to QA
    When I migrated RPD and Catalog from DEV to QA, the user weblogic was not able to login. So I modified the NQSConfig.INI file to make the below change
    FMW_UPDATE_ROLE_AND_USER_REF_GUIDS = YES*
    and restarted the BI Servers. Now weblogic is able to login. So far good.
    But When I login using weblogic and open 'My Dashboard' I get the following error access denied for user to path /users/weblogic/_portal/dashboard layout*
    Reading the Oracle Documentation I see that the refresh of GUIDs need to be done for Presentation services as well. http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/bi.1111/e10543/privileges.htm#CHDHGAAH
    However I am not able to find *<ps:Catalog>* in the Instanceconfig.xml file. I can only see a similar one like below
    *<Catalog>*
    *<UpgradeAndExit>false</UpgradeAndExit>*
    *</Catalog>*
    Where should I add the below? I went ahead and put it just below the above. So that my file looks like below. Is this correct?
    *<Catalog>*
    *<UpgradeAndExit>false</UpgradeAndExit>*
    *</Catalog>*
    *<ps:Catalog xmlns:ps="oracle.bi.presentation.services/config/v1.1">*
    *<ps:UpgradeAndExit>false</ps:UpgradeAndExit>*
    *<ps:UpdateAccountGUIDs>UpdateAndExit</ps:UpdateAccountGUIDs>*
    *</ps:Catalog>*
    After saving the instanceconfig.xml , I used opmnctl to stop the Pre.Ser. Stop was successful But I am not able to start the ps. Why is that? Is it a problem with my new entry in Instanceconfig.xml?
    Checking the log files, clearly says its the content of instanceconfig.xml causing the issue.
    ----Log entry--
    [Util Logger] Exception occurred:
         Severity:Fatal

    Hi,
    i hope u r version You don't need the ps: part either
    If your using obiee11.1.1.3. the instansconfig.xml file it will show like this (ps: part either ) and obiee11.1.1.5. no more that ps: part in the instanceconfig.xml file
    *<UpgradeAndExit>false<UpgradeAndExit>*
    *<UpdateAccountGUIDs>UpdateAndExit<UpdateAccountGUIDs>*
    then
    set it to *<UpdateAccountGUIDs>none</UpdateAccountGUIDs>* and then restart the services
    Refer obiee11.1.1.3.0 version of guide...all r similar except ps: part.

  • OBIEE 10g multiple instances of scheduler

    Hello,
    I have server with multiple instances of Oracle BI: one Oracle BI Server with two different RPDs and two Presentation services with different web catalogs. Customer wants to run Oracle Delivers on both instances of Oracle BI. I tried setup 2 instances of scheduler but faced with a problem that I can't pass to scheduler which config file (instanceconfig.xml) to use.
    Can you help with solution how to run multiple schedulers with different configurations on one server?
    Thanks in advance,
    Vladimir

    If I'm not wrong, this wont work. Scheduler instanceconfig.xml file will be override based on Scheduler settings using each RPD file.

  • JDev 11g: Multiple Instances of Same Application Using Same AppModule !?

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm having difficulties with multiple instances of taskflows and their application modules.
    I have a main application which has two separate instances of a taskflow (another application with it's own appmodule). I would like for the two separate instances to use separate instances of their application module but that is not happening.
    How can I set this up ? I would like instance 1 to have it's own application module and instance 2 to have it's own as well.
    Any thoughts ?
    Mark

    Seems like I have found the solution.
    In the taskflow there is a property named data-control-scope and I set it to isolated instead of the default (shared) and this seemed to do the trick.
    I can now have two instances of the same taskflow running with different ApplicationModules
    Cheers,
    Mark

  • 11g-Multiple subject area feature.

    Hi,
    I am new to 11g,In 11g we have anew feature like creating Analysis from multiple subject areas so,
    1)Is there any limitation on this Multiple subject areas usage.
    2)any configuration or settings needs to be done in RPD for querying related subject areas..
    3)what is the limit of using this subject areas.. maximum from How many SA we can build a report..
    any other limitation for this feature...
    please share your thoughts.

    Hi ,
    Its possible to add/remove subject areas , while creating a analysis , in OBIEE 11.1.1.6 .
    refer this link :
    http://www.rittmanmead.com/2012/03/obiee-11g-security-week-subject-area-catalog-and-functional-area-security-2/
    but , I'm not sure whether same is possible in 11.1.1.5 .

  • Multiple instances on single server

    Hi all,
    I have a Solaris 10 server with 2x dual core CPU's.
    I am wondering if it was at all possible to install Business Intelligence Server on this single OS twice? And if it is, can I split the CPU between the different instances?
    The reason for this is that I would like both production and test/development installed onto the same OS to cut costs. But I don't want the test/development instance to use resources that would affect the performance of the production environment.
    Ideally I'd like the 2 instances, with the production instance using 3 cores, and the test/development instance using 1 core. If the RAM could also be split that'd be great.
    Thanks for your help in advance.
    Cheers

    Yes, you can have multiple instances of Presentation Services (PS) ([see my blog posting for details|http://rnm1978.wordpress.com/2009/08/25/multiple-rpds-on-one-server-part-1-the-bi-server/]) which would let you split envs, but you'd do that with a single instance of BI server. I don't know if it's possible to run multiple BI servers
    I don't think you should be trying to do this anyway, several reasons why not:
    1) It's not supported to run multiple PS on one server. That should be reason enough not to do this on prod.
    2) If it's not possible to run multiple BI Servers on one server then you'd end up running one BI Server with dev/test/prod RPDs - you'd never be able to bounce your BI Server for dev work without taking down prod
    3) Any time you needed downtime for dev, you'd affect prod
    4) Any patching you wanted to do on dev might affect prod
    5) Any experimental work you do that crashes dev would affect prod.
    If you only have the one box available to you for costs reasons then you should be looking into virtualisation of some kind, eg http://www.virtualbox.org

  • 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 Unable to browse multiple value hierarchy for analysis.

    Hi All,
    We are using OBIEE 11g Value Hierarchy feature to display GL Segment Hierarchies.
    -     We have set the hierarchies to be Ragged and Skipped Levels in the RPD Business Model.
    -     We have dragged the hierarchies from Business Model to Presentation Layer.
    -     When selecting the hierarchies during Analysis, the first hierarchy that is browsed appears correctly. The next hierarchy when browsed just hangs.
    For example:
    Step 1: Browse Hierarchy1 (Block). The values show correctly.
    Step 2: Browse Hierarchy2 (Account). The hierarchy does not open with a blinking circle remaining forever.
    Alternatively;
    If we selected, Hierarchy 2(Account) first, the hierarchy shows correctly, but when selecting Hierarchy1 (Block) a blinking circle appears and remains for ever without opening the hierarchy.
    The nqquery.log shows correct result. My suspicion is that the issue is on the front end presentation services/javascript side.
    Is there any additional setup/configuration required to open multiple value hierarchies during analysis.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Sasi

    I have a pretty good guess at the hanging problem, unforntunitly i have no solutions yet.
    I having same type of issue, hangs when building filters on for 2nd or 3rd dim table.. I can see obiee fireing off the query to populate the dropdown by running
    select distinct on and joining to the fact table and dimensions that the users usually have selecte prior to start creatinng the filters.
    It is sort of like doing a intra dimension filter.. Sounds good but if user does not cut way down on number of fact rows by the time 2nd filtered column is selected the generated query to populate the drop down can run and run.
    OBI SE Once and discoverer dd not do this, at least not out of the box.

  • OBIEE 11g Prompt's default value doesn't work with a presentation variable

    Hi, I'm using OBIEE 11g and I have two dashboard prompts (Product Name and Product Number). Theses prompts are hierarquical, so the values that are displayed in the Product Number prompt have dependency with the values chosen on the Product Name prompt. This I was able to do, but now I want to put a default value on the Product Number prompt. The steps are:
    1 - The user chooses the value for the Product Name Prompt and by doing that the Product Number prompt is automatically filled with the correspondent value.
    But unfortunatelly this is not working, after choosing the value for the Product Name the default value for Product Number is not displayed (when you open the prompt the values displayed are correct and already filtered considering the Product Name but the prompt is not automatically filled with the default value).
    What I did is:
    On the Product Name Prompt I've created a Presentation Variable called PROD.
    On the Product Number Prompt I've selected:
    1 - For the "Choice List Values" field I've checked the option "Limit Values by All Prompts"
    2 - For the "Default Selection" field I've chosen the SQL Results option and enter the following SQL:
    SELECT "Products"."Product Number" FROM "Sample Sales Lite"."Products" WHERE "Products"."Product"='@{variables.PROD}
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thank you,
    Carla

    Sorry I was wrong in my previous thread.
    Actually your approach is not correct, Product Number choose constraint that will show as per the selection of Product Name.
    Coming to default value for Product Number you are going for sql override that is okay but not work with variable, instead of setting default values for product number set that to product name.
    if not you need to go for 2 different prompts
    Prompt 1 Product Name hit GO
    Prompt 2 will work based on as you defined earlier with variables
    Hope this helps

  • Separate Server for OBIEE 11G Presentation Server

    In version 10 of OBIEE many people put the Presentation Server and the OBIEE Application Server on separate servers. Is this architecture possible in OBIEE 11G using the new Fusion framework?

    Hi,
    can your try to start presentation services alone via OPMN command, and then check the sawlog0.log lastest log message..
    example mine,
    D:\Oracle\Middleware\instances\instance1\bin>opmnctl startproc ias-component=coreapplication_obips1
    opmnctl startproc: starting opmn managed processes...
    check the staus and also log message
    still if its not working try to reboot your server and then "start all services"
    Thanks

  • Multiple instances of ECM 11g on one server

    I've read a few posts about installing multiple instances of ECM 11g on one server, but I have a few questions. My current set up is
    A single Windows 2008 Server R2 server
    8 gb RAM
    Weblogic 10.3.5
    1 install of ECM 11g in the base_domain
    Database is Oracle 11.2
    I want to add another instance of ECM to this server, but when I went to run the RCU, I was not allowed to use the same prefix for my tablespaces. Is this expected? I'm fine with using a different prefix, I just was surprised to see that I couldn't use the same prefix on this install since I was using a completely different database.
    Assuming I use a different prefix... do I just add a new domain for this additional ECM instance? Is there anything else I need to know?
    Thank you

    I went to run the RCU, I was not allowed to use the same prefix for my tablespaces. Is this expected?Yes. It will create tables with the same name visible for a different database user (thus, the prefix).
    do I just add a new domain for this additional ECM instance? Is there anything else I need to know?Actually, I think you can even install more instances to the same domain (this is more a question to Weblogic Server admins - I think there's been some posts recently on this topic). What definitely must be unique, is the port number. If you are OK with using different port numbers for your instances, it should be relatively easy. If you need the same port (e.g. 80 because of proxy limits), there are some ways how to redirect - it that case, two domains might be required.

Maybe you are looking for
