OBIEE 11g on linux

HI all
I have downloaded the oracle 11g and obiee 11g version for Linux 86-64
Thinking that regardless of my Linux OS version I might be able to install on both 32 and 64 bit.
But as I got down downloading ubuntu there are only single flavours either 64 or 32 bit
I want to know if I download and install 64 bit version will the above oracle applications (86-64) work
If not what would be the easiest way to settle this.

If you are going to Linux with your Oracle BI install you might as well go with Oracle Unbreakable/Enterprise Linux.
This is also in-line with the RedHat kernel but it is actually certified to work. And you still are able to pull from the additional YUM repositories like RPMForge as well as the Oracle Unbreakable/Enterprise Linux repositories for Free.
You may wind up with small issues on CentOS even though it is a flavor of Red Hat. But, whatever you do, don't installl OBIEE on Ubuntu.

Starting OBIEE 11g on Linux 64 bit

Hi,
I installed OBIEE 11g on Linux 64 bit and it worked fine after installation. I rebooted the system and I need to start it again.
I am trying to run
run-sa.sh
run-saw.sh
etc.
but it looks like the scripts are broken:
./run-saw.sh: line 43: syntax error near unexpected token `('
./run-saw.sh: line 43: `ANA_INSTALL_DIR=$N($P(installLocation))'
it looks like these scripts were not processed by the installer during installation, $N($P(installLocation)) should have been replaced by the installer with actual paths I assume.
is there another way to start OBIEE?
Thanks,
Calin

Are you sure you are running OBIEE 11g? YOu are meant to use those scripts any more in 11g. See this post:

Requirement to upgrade OBIEE 10g on Windows to OBIEE 11g on Linux

Dear All,
I have a requirement to upgrade OBIEE 10g from current windows 2003 environment to OBIEE 11g Linux environment.
I went through forums and many threads on upgrade, everywhere they talk about Upgrade Assistant (UA). And oracle documentation says ,
+"Do not change from one platform or architecture to a different platform or architecture as part of the upgrade process.+
+For example, if the existing 10g system is running on a Windows 32-bit platform, do not install Oracle BI 11g on a Linux 64-bit platform and then run the Linux 64-bit Upgrade Assistant to upgrade the existing 10g system."+
But there would certainly be scenarios with other users the way I have. Then what is the way out to do this upgrade?
Can anyone give some advice on this. It is little urgent.
Thanking in advance.
Regards,
Deepika.

Thats are huge change in platform. win32 to linux 64.
Yet what we upgrade is only
catalog and rpd.
this might involve some manual change if UA cannot complete successfully.
Its better to do a prototype before the actual upgrade as recommended by Oracle. This will show what can the possible issues and road blocks.

How to Save Agent Output in Local Disk in OBIEE 11g on linux

Hi
I am using OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2
I want to schedule some reports which will run everyday night and the Output to be saved in my local disk
I read this article http://obiee1000.blogspot.in/2012/01/actions-in-agents-part-1.html ...but this solution is only for windows platform.
i need to implement this on Linux.
Please help me .
Thanks.

Hello Srini,
This article talks the process for Ibots. Is the procedure same for OBIEE 11g agents.
are you sucessful in achiving this . since i have to involve others in implementing this just wanted to be sure this works for OBIE 11g on linux.
Please let me know.

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.

Startup/Shutdown script for OBIEE 11g on Linux

Hi all,
as a follow-up to [url http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=4546010]an earlier thread by some fine gentleman, I have improved the original startup/shutdown script for Linux a bit, making sure that all processes are handled correctly. The script has been tested and works fine on CentOS 5.5 with Oracle BI 11.1.1.3.0 in a clustered configuration. Instructions:
Manual start/stop:
> service obiee start
> service obiee stop
> service obiee status
Automatic start/stop during boot sequence:
> chkconfig --add obiee
> chkconfig obiee on
Note that in order for the procedure to go through smoothly, you need to provide the admin credentials (username/password, defaulting to weblogic/weblogic) in three different places:
1. In configuration file <FMW_HOME>/user_projects/domains/<domain name>/servers/AdminServer/security/boot.properties for the administration server;
2. In script <FMW_HOME>/user_projects/domains/<domain name>/bin/startManagedWebLogic.sh (variables WLS_USER and WLS_PW) for the managed server;
3. In the startup script itself (variables BIEE_USER and BIEE_PASSWD) for shutting down the managed server.
Complete logs are available in /var/log/obiee-start (-stop).log files.

You can use WLST to start/stop BI Services and it works on both Linux and Windows.

Adding a XML Data source in Obiee 11g on Linux

Hi guys, I need your help.
I'm creating a new database in the physical layer as XML.
On the connection pool (named xml_source), I’m setting the path to the XML file, inside the datasourse name, with this format: /u01/app/xmltest/
My XML test file is this: xml_test.xml, So in the table information, I’m setting the xml file name as this: xml_test (without the xml extension)
The issue is when I’m trying to issue the SQL, the error message displayed says:
Query Failed: [nQSError: 64023] cannot access /u01/app/xmltest\xml_test.xml: No such file or directory
As you can read in the error message there is a “\” just before the xml file. So in Linux it is not a "\" but a "/", why is obiee setting a wrong path? How can I "tell" obiee that this is a Linux environment not a Windows?
Thank you in advance.

Sorry for my mistake, but I've found a tab called XML in the Physical Table properties. I've set the entire URL to the file and now I'm able to issue sql queries to it. Thanks!

Schedulling an agent in obiee 11g on Linux server

Hi,
I am trying to schedule an agent on Linux server. I know its possible on windows server, but did anyone try it on Linux, if so please provide instructions on how to do this? Thanks,

Hi,
How to schedule an agent? just set the when it must run and the frequency in the agent itself.
OBIEE has his own scheduler process, so scheduling an agent on Windows or Linux is the same work, everything happen inside OBIEE.
Of course I assume your OBIEE is installed correctly and all the components are started...

Startup Scripts for OBIEE 11g on Linux

Hi, I originally spent many hours trying to find a startup/shutdown script for OBIEE on linux, in the end I compiled a new one based on notes in the install manual and other posts on the subject until I got it working consistantly
Please add comments or improvements :)
Note: you need to create the boot.properties file (in /security) for each server, and provide the username/password so WebLogic won't prompt for it when starting automatically (otherwise it doesn't start :p) ....refer to the install manual or [weblogic boot.properties|http://onlineappsdba.com/index.php/2010/08/21/weblogic-startup-prompting-from-username-password-bootproperties/]

Starting OBIEE 11g services in Linux

Hi Gurus,
I have installed OBIEE 11g on Linux 32 bit machine, Procedure i used to follow to start the services, using putty:
1. Run ./startWeblogic.sh after it comes to running mode, it comes back to $
2. After it returns to $, i start nodeManager.sh
but now, after i do the first step from putty, though running mode has come, it is not coming back to $ where i can start the node manager, hence i am unable to start node manager from the $ console
Is this a server problem? pls help..
I did Ctrl+c and tried starting startWeblogic.sh again, but its again stopping at running mode and not returning to $
Kindly advice what can be done
Thanks,
Sree.

we had run the scripts using nohup "nohup ./startWeblogicServer.sh &" and reopened putty to run other nodemanager and opmnctl scripts, now everything has started and working fine.
Thanks all..

OBIEE 11g on windows issue

Has anyone had any success in installing OBIEE (11.1.1.5), DAC (10.1.3.4.1), Informatica (9.0.1 hotfix 2) and Oracle BI Apps (7.9.6.3) on Linux 64 bit?
We have been provided 2 physical Linux servers (say A & B) and 1 virtual server (say C) for the same. We were able to install obiee 11g on linux x86 machine (A). We were able to also install the Informatica server (9.0.1 hotfilx 2) and DAC server on the machine (B). As per e-delivery, Bi apps 7.9.6.3 is not available for linux x86_64 bit platform, hence we have downloaded for windows and planning to install on windows machine(C).
So i have followed this doc http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E20490_01/bia.7963/e19038.pdf section 4.1 for installaing. so it says to install OBIEE complete install(same one which we did on linux machine A) so when i started installing OBIEE enterprise install i am using the same dev_biplatform and mds schema details on windows too but it says it already exist on the database. so i got struck here. So what kind of install do we need to do on windows for OBIEE because after that when we perform OBIA installation we need to provide the OBIEE isntallation paths like webloic home,middleware home, etc so that it will create all the metadata files rpd,catalog,obia_bw.rep etc.
So once it is success i would move the OBIA respective files to linux machine A and B.
please help me with this.
Thanks,
RM

HI,
10.5.1 500 Internal Server Error
The above error says Presentation services not running.
Using this command you can check:
Open --> Run--> Cd OBIEE_Home\Instance/Intstace / bin> opmnctl status
Try to stop services and again restart the all services.
stop the all services = opmnctl stop all
Start the services = opmnctl start all
I guess you installation not done completely.
Please refer the below link try to install freshly.

I am working on OBIEE 11.1.1.5 version for a client specific BI application. we have an issue concerning massive space consumption in OBIEE 11g installed linux environment whenever trying to run some detail level drill down reports. While investigating, we found that whenever a user runs the drill down report a temp file named nQS_xxxx_x_xxxxxx.TMP is created and keep's growing in size under the below given folder structure,
*<OBIEE_HOME>/instances/instance1/tmp/OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent/coreapplication_obips1/obis_temp/*
The size of this temp file grows huge as much as around 3 GB and gets erased automatically when the drill down report output is displayed in UI. Hence when multiple users simultaneously try to access these sort of drill down reports the environment runs out of space.
Regarding the drill down reports:
* The drill down report has around 55 columns which is configured to display only 25 rows in the screen and allows the user to download the whole data as Excel output.
* The complete rows being fetched in query ranges from 1000 to even above 100k rows. Based on the rows fetched, the temp file size keeps growing. ie., If the rows being fetched from the query is around 4000 a temp file of around 60 MB is created and gets erased when the report output is generated in screen (Similarly, for around 100k rows, the temp file size grows up to 3 GB before it gets deleted automatically).
* The report output has only one table view along side Title & Filters view. (No Pivot table view, is being used to generate this report.)
* The cache settings for BI Server & BI Presentation services cache are not configured or not enabled.
My doubts or Questions:
* Is there any way to control or configure this temp file generation in OBIEE 11g?
* Why the growing temp file automatically gets deleted immediately after the report output generation in screen. Is there any default server specific settings governing this behaviour?
* As per certain OBIEE article reference for OBIEE 10g, I learnt that for large pivot table based reports the temp file generation is quite normal because of huge in-memory calculations involved . However we have used only Table view in output but still creates huge temp files. Is this behaviour normal in OBIEE 11g. If not, Can any one Please suggest of any specific settings to be considered to avoid generating these huge files or atleast generate a compressed temp file.
* Any other work around solution available for generating a report of this type without the generation of temp files in the environment?
Any help/suggestions/pointers or document reference on this regard will be much appreciated. Please advice
Thanks & Regards,
Guhan

Hello Guhan,
The temp files are used to prepare the final result set for OBI presentation server processing, so as long as long you dataset is big the tmp files will be also big and you can only avoid this by reducing your dataset by for example filtering your report.
You can also control the size of your temp files by reducing the usage of the BI server.I mean by this if you are using any functions like for example sorting that can be handled by your database so just push to the DB.
Once the report finished the BI server removes automatically the tmp files because it's not necessary anymore.you can see it as a file that is used for internal calculations once it's done the server gets rid of it.
Hope this helps
