OBIEE 11g Permission Catalog

Hi guys,
I'm facing a problem to apply a permission on a catalog folder and the objects under. Let me specify the problem:
I created a new group, application role and a new user. Set the connection between them and that's ok so far. The problem consists on apply a permission to an application role, group or user on a folder on obiee. When apply full control the user or app role gets the permission ok and when apply no access it's ok either. When customize the permission on try to apply only read access or anything like that, the user/app-role still receive almost the full access and can delete the folder.
anyone have experienced this issue?
Thx in advance.
All

OBIEE 11G Splitting Catalog between Analytics and BI Publisher

Hi,
How to split and have seperate catalogs between Analytics and BI Publisher?
Thanks for your time and help.

The only way would be to scale out on the same server and add another instance. As the prior post mentioned, your security structure would end up being maintained in 2 locations. There is no way in 11g to do a standalone install of BI Publisher. You just check that and you get BI Server by requirement.

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

Hiding catalog link for a particular user in OBIEE 11g !!

Hello,
I have a requirement where I want to hide/disable catalog link at the top (in analytics) for a particular user !!
This User can access Dashboard.
This User cannot access Subject areas hence he cannot create analysis
Let me know if this is possible in OBIEE 11g !! If yes, then how ?

Automate RPD and Catalog Patching in OBIEE 11G

Is it possible to automate the patching process with scripting? This would be the complete cycle: compare, generate xml patch and apply patch. I see that I can script the applying of the patch but need to be able to script the compare.

Yes, You could accomplish this using the OBIEE 11g scripts.
The one place you may want to reconsider the "complete cycle" is when it comes to actually patching the production RPD via automated fashion. I would leave that to remain as a manual redeployment after the patching to some stage folder/area, then manually deploy the RPD. This way you are certain to retain the incremental versioning that is now provided in the Fusion Console EM, etc.

Buttons not showing up for Writeback option in OBIEE 11g

Hey guys,
I'm struggling with the writeback option in OBIEE 11g.
I've made all the required changes as per the documentation.
1) Making the column writeable in BMM layer.
2) Giving the column and the table read/write permission in the presentation layer.
3) writing the query in the xml for insert and update and have put it in the right path.
4) Modified the instance config and included the <Lightwriteback>true</Lightwriteback> in it.
5) Enable the column with writeback property.
6)Enabled the table view property with writeback.
However when i untick the table toggle mode,it makes the column editable but without any update button.
whereas if i tick the table toggle mode it neither makes the column editable nor does it shows up any button.
Could somebody help me out with the solution.
Thanks,
Anirban

Anirban,
You need to make sure that 'Write Back to Database' privilages have been correctly setup for you. If you have admin rights on the catalog, you should be able to check and modify it under Security > Manage Privilages on the Administration screen.
cheers,
Adnan

How to hide a dashboard in OBIEE 11g?

Hi All,
How do we hide a complete dashboard in OBIEE 11g? A particular dashboard page can be hidden by going to dashboard properties but there is no option to hide a complete dashboard. Also, in Administration, there is no 'Manage Interactive Dashboard' section like it was there in OBIEE 10g where we could hide a particular dashboard.
Thanks in Anticipation,
Karan

Hi,
Go to your dashboard page --> there is catalog folder is available here you can restrict hiding dashboard users.
and dashboard folder under shared folder right click dashboard permission --> No Acess also set that dashboard property as "Hiden"

Thanks for your replies !!
In any of the RPD deployments I'm getting the same error , not for some particular RPD .
FYI , yesterday (before this issue) I had a issue with starting presentation services , so as adviced in forum I replaced the files sawguidstate and sawguidstate.atrin the location:
<Instance_Home>\instances\<instance_name>\bifoundation\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreapplication_obips1\catalog\<project>\root\system\mktgcache\<name>
with the same files from a backup or from another working OBIEE 11g (11.1.5)instance.
plese refer : Re: Unable to start presentation services , in OBIEE 11g
Is this causing the deployment issue ?

Error while deploying RPD in OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.3)

Hi Friends,
At times while deploying RPD in OBIEE 11g, I am getting an error, "_*Supplementary information regarding operation: DOMAIN, UNEXPECTED_ERROR;/tmp/zipped-directory.zip (Permission denied)*_".
We have installed OBIEE over a LINUX machine. I tried to locate this file in the server but was not able to find any such thing. This error happens at random and I am unable to predict the occurrence of this error.
Can someone guide me how to resolve this issue?

You have to disable the central configuration:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/bi.1111/e10541/disable_em.htm#BEIIAEGD
Change your repository in the file nqsconfig.ini
and
change the password if needed in the credential store ...
http://gerardnico.com/wiki/_detail/dat/obiee/obiee11g_credential_store.jpg?id=dat%3Aobiee%3Acredential
But if you can't open EM, it will be very difficult and may be you must have to add resource (memory, ...) to your server.

3. Click on Result tab - > you'll get Title and Table View
4. Format your Table view and Title View
5. Save your New Report in Shared Folders (You may create your own folder under Shared folder)
View the Reports on Dashboard.

Name - Give the name of your Dashboard
Select Location - /Shared Folders/Standard Dashboard/
Click Ok -> you'll get Empty Dashboard window.
2. Edit the Dashboard -> Drag and Drop your Saved reports from Shard Folder under Catalog
3. Click on Save button (Top Right) and save your dashboard -> click run [Green right Arrow(Top Right)].

Prompts:
1.Got to -> New ->Dashboard Prompt-> you will have your Presentation Tables under Select Subject Area
Click on your Subject Area -> you'll get the Untitle Prompt Window

2. Expand the Folders and click the required columns from the list (the Columns should be your Report's table).

How to Hide a column in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I am trying to hide a column of presantation layer table in OBIEE 11g. But it is not working.
I am doing the follwoing.
Open the permission tab of the column.
Given no access to Everyone.
Given No access the user/Application Role.
When i go to web, the column is getting displayed in the table list. But, when i select the column and press the result button, it is not giving the result.
It means, by doing the above steps it is restricting the data but visibility of column is already there.
Same way it works for OBIEE 10g. Could you please let me know this feature has been removed from 11g or if it is still there then how we can achieved that.
Thanks in Advance
Niraj

Hi Niraj,
It's a bug in OBIEE 11.1.1.5.
Bug 12352010: RESTRICTED COLUMNS SHOULD NOT SHOW IN SUBJECT AREA
It is fixed in the version 11.1.1.6.
