OBIEE 11G RPD and Catalog

HI
Can any one help me
how to create new catalog for Bisample repository to deploy the rpd and catalog
can any one explain beiefly plz

Follow these steps
1). Go to localDrive:C:\OBIEE11G\instances\instance1\config\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreapplication_obips1
2). Open your instanceconfig.xml file
3). Find <CatalogPath> and </CatalogPath> tags
4). Write the new catalong name that you want to create (suppose sh_new) then your tag should look like this
<CatalogPath>C:\OBIEE11G\instances\instance1/bifoundation/OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent/coreapplication_obips1/catalog/obirep</CatalogPath>
5). Save the file and start/re-start the BI presentation service
6). It automatically creates the obirep catalog, once we start our presentation service and you need not to create anything manually.
Pls mark as correct

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 RPD and Weblogic Identity Management

Hi,
I have an issue where only users from one weblogic Provider (LDAPAuthenticator) can log into OBIEE.
New users created using the default provider (DefaultAuthenticator) cannot log in (the exception is the Administrator user which was upgraded from 10g).
If I open the RPD in online mode and connect to 'Identity Management', I do not see the new users above in the list (i.e. they have not been pulled down by OBI)
Error message in the logs show "authentication passed, however use cannot be found in identity store" - which makes sense as I do not see them in the RPD. Any ideas?
N.B: New application roles in weblogic are syncing with the the RPD correctly.

Thanks for your reply Paul. That is quite a drawback if it is the case. I guess the fall back is to implement one authenticator and if that fails, it would pass on to the RPD authentication (like in 10g)? Have you by chance managed to implement the 'act as' obi functionality with the weblogic authenticator setup?

Thanks,

looks like there is a way to recover the lost passwords for RPD's using listcred() method of wlst
look at the following doc http://www.rittmanmead.com/2011/04/oracle-bi-ee-11g-migrating-security-credential-store-part-3/
Listing the Credential in Dev Environment:
All the Credential Keys are generally stored in an encrypted format (the passwords). So, to migrate we will need to first extract these passwords and then do the migration to Production. The passwords can be extracted through the listCred() method of WLST. We need to be connected to the Admin Server for this method to work. The exact command is given below
connect(“weblogic”,”welcome1″,”localhost:7001″)
listCred(“DevMap”,”DevKey”)
This will show the encrypted password entered inside the key as shown below
And this is what we see in the enterprise manager.
As you see, with listCred we are able to extract the full credentials. Now, lets try to see what is the default password for the BISystemUser.
listCred(“oracle.bi.system”,”system.user”)
In the same way lets extract the passwords of the SampleAppLite repository.
listCred(“oracle.bi.enterprise”,”repository.SampleAppLite”)
With this we can even extract the lost Repository passwords."
i am going to try it out now

RPD and Catalog Upgrade to 11.1.1.6

Hi,
We have a project to upgrade from OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1 to 11.1.1.6.0. The OBIEE installation is on RHEL 5.8 x86-64 server. I have the following questions reagarding this upgrade.
1) Can I upgrade the RPD and Catalog straight from 10.1.3.4.1 to 11.1.1.6.0 or
2) Do I have to upgrade the RPD and Catalog from 10.1.3.4.1 to a intermediate version of OBIEE 11g say (11.1.1.5.0) and then upgrade it to 11.1.1.6.0?
Responses are appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Yes. You can go to 11.1.1.6

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.

Migrating OBIEE 11.1.1.7 RPD and CATALOG

Hi Gurus,
We have two environments in our project DEV and TEST where OBIEE 11.1.1.7 is installed.
We are using weblogic Internal Security in DEV and we have 3 users and a role by name App in DEV.
Now after Migration I am having 3 issues:
1) After deploying DEV RPD in TEST and after restarting the services. I got an issue like Admin user Weblogic is not able to login in to Answers as well as Repository in Online. After my R&D I found that I have to delete all the users in RPD and then restart the services which worked and my Admin user (weblogic) is able to login to answers as well as RPD.
Now my question is: Am I doing it in right way for Repository Migration because if it is correct every time If I have to migrate I have to delete all the users in RPD?
2) Before Migrarting the Catalog we have created the same App role in Test Environment. After migrating the Catalog only the Shared Folders using Catalog Manager Archive/Un-Archive the security configured in DEv against the App in Catalog folders is not migrated but security configured against the App role in RPD Subject areas is migrated. Now my question is how to migrate the catalog folder security also.
3) After checking the Dashboards I can see that I lost all the format changes done in DEV. Format changes are like User preferred currency, Comma separator e.t.c. Now please let me know how to migrate this Format changes.
Please help me on this.
Regards,
Sai.

Migrate OBIEE 11.1.1.3 rpd and catalog to OBIEE 11.1.1.5

Is there is any upgrade process to follow (if so, what they are) to use OBIEE 11.1.1.3 rpd and webcatalog with OBIEE 11.1.1.5 installation.
Is there anything extra needs to be done apart from just about moving them to 11.1.1.5 installed machine and deploy/specify path through Oracle EM Fusion Middleware Control.
Thanks in advance for the inputs.

Hi,
Refer section 1.6 in below link,

Unable to import table or columns in OBIEE 11G RPD

Hi All,
We are unable to import table into the RPD using OCI 10G/11G to import the table then the import box open but we are unable to see the tables below the schema name. When we use ODBC 3.5 and created a DSN for the database then we are able to see all the tables and import them. But the problem here is that when we are using window server 7 64 bit to install client and then importing the table ODBC is not working fine as well.
Please note that we are using OBIEE 11G which is installed on unix box and we connect to RPD using client installed on windows server.
Appreciate all the help in advance.
Thanks,
Mohit

Hi Sayak,
This means we need to installed Oracle client to resolve this problem. Can you please share if you have some knowledge regarding the same.
Thanks,

Users in OBIEE 11g RPD

Hi all ,
I have scenario where i need to apply data level security for few users.
And i am trying to redefine the permissions for that user in RPD in offline mode , i failed to see those users in IDENTITY window.
Can some one please tell me , how to come over this issue ,
Thanks

Hi Raj,
In data level security for users level, You have to implement external table authorization.
1. Create table in database.
2. create session variable in rpd.
If you want some more extend information.
Refer to following links:

OBIEE 11g, Informatica and DAC: Migrating from Oracle DB to SQL Server?

Hi Gurus,
Currently we are implementing OBIEE 11g with Oracle BI Application for EBS (Supply Chain, Procurement & Finance modules). We have incorporated all OUT-OF-THE-BOX mappings and configurations in DAC, Informatica and RPD (no change, only OOTB). We were using Oracle DB and Linux servers.
Now the client wants to migrate this to one Windows box.
Can anyone point out, what are the changes need to done to migrate to SQL Server database. Any existing documentation or link will be helpful.
Edited by: Sudipta Gupta on Aug 2, 2012 1:59 PM

If you are using SQL Server 2008 then you need to edit the DAC config.bat file replace sqljdbc.jar with sqljdbc4.jar.
Rest of DAC and Informatica configuration is almost similar.
Let us if you come across any issues.
Hope this helps

OBIEE 11g Actions and SSL

Hi,
I am attempting to use the action framework within OBIEE 11g, specifically invoke a web service. When I go to New -> Action I get a server error:
An error occured during processing of the SSL protocol
1093359936:error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed:s3_clnt.c:1059
The log viewer in Enterprise Manager gives us
UNKNOWN_CA alert received from [HOST] - [IPADDRESS]. The peer is rejecting the certificate chain as being untrusted or incomplete.
We have SSL on and it is working fine everywhere apart from when I try to create the action. I (and my colleagues) have trawled through all the documentation and googled everything we can think of with no success. Has anyone else seen this or maybe has an idea as to what is going on?
Thanks for any help.

Hi Christian
Thanks for your reply. The BI system is SSl secured so is running over https but I don't even get a chance to select any web service, SSL or not, (or even put in a wsdl url) as the error occurs directly I click on anything that creates a new action. It is therefore an issue with SSL on the BI server itself (or the communication between components) but I am stumped to what it can be.
