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?
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
# For example:
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
127.0.0.1 localhost

Unable to login to presentation services after doing the upgrade 10g to 11g

Hi All,
I had a running instance of OBIEE 11g 11.1.1.6.0, my 11g rpd and webcatlog was working fine. Imp to note is that, I had configured external LDAP authenticator and wasn't using the weblogic embedded LDAP.
Now, today, I had to updrage 10g RPD and Webcatlog to 11g and merge into the my current 11g system. I ran the upgrade utitlity and it completed the upgrade successfully but now when I try to login into presentation services using the weblogic user, the presentation services gets hung. It doesn't even give me a message like "Invalid login or password" I DON't get any message but my Presentation services and RPD gets hung( when I try to open it online)
Also, I am trying to refresh the GUIDs after making the necessary changes in the config and instanceconfig.xml file i start the obi server and presentation server, it doesn't come up. So I am unable to refresh my GUIDs
What could be issue here? Do I need to fix an credential file? Please let me know.
Thanks,
Ronny

Hi,
Just Referesh GUID and Try again if it's not working follow the below link:
GUID- Refreshing in obiee11g
good one
http://obiee11gqna.blogspot.com/2011/10/obiee11g-updating-guids.html
http://varanasisaichand.blogspot.com/2011/08/refresh-user-guids-obiee-11g.html
http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/migration
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
if u don't have any problem with GUID then refer the below link try to do the same.

OBIEE: Skip separate login for Presentation services

All,
I wanted to use my LAN ID login for my BI Presentation services instead of having separate login screen there.
Meaning if i click on my BI Presentation services link it shouldn't ask for a separate login id /password it should receive my LAN id/password directly from the system & as i click the link i should be able to get the Dashboards according to my access rights.
As of now i am using OBIEE only in my local.
I am using 10g.
Please provide Ur valuable answers at the earliest.
Regards
FR

Hi FR
You need to look into Single Sign On (SSO). Have a read of this and do some google searching:

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 : Unable to see any images while customizing styles and skins

Hi,
I am trying to customize OBIEE 11g style and skin. I followed the steps mentioned at http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/12/oracle-bi-ee-11g-styles-skins-custom-xml-messages/ and also in oracle white paper http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi/customizing-oracle-biee-11g-176387.pdf.
I am not able to see any images on any OBIEE screens. After login, I can see the name of skin which i have created as the default skin but login page images, header images (after login) are not coming up. Can you please provide solution?
P.S. I have not changed any images or any css files in the custom skin and style directory. I just wanted to know first whether the new skin/style works for me. If it works, then i will apply some sort of customization.

That is correct. Also remember to delete browser cache. Here you have the folders: Re: how to insert the picture in the dashboard of BIEE
Let me know.

Write back in OBIEE 11g : unable to check "enable write back"

Hi all!
I have a table on presentation, i want to make a table in analysis with function "Write back". But in criteria, when i choose "column properties" --> "write back" tab --> i can not check "Enable write back". I have granted privileges "write back" to user
Please tell me how to configure to make it.
Thanks so much.
Edited by: OBIEE.vn on Jan 6, 2011 7:54 PM

Guys,
In OBIEE 11g You need to make sure that you mark the logical columns in your Repository RPD as "Writeable". Otherwise the ability to write to these columns is not allowed for WriteBack functionality.

Unable to login to cloud services

Is there anybody else having issues with cloud services ?
We have 5 cloud services with SQL DB back end, from last one hour i am unable to login to any of our app running on these cloud services.
Our services are located in Southeast Asia, all the 5 cloud services are having issues at the same time so i cant see any problem from our end.
Status page says all the services are running okay.

Apologize for the inconvenience, agree with you regarding this, however we are not sure if this is indeed a backend issue and in order to determine the cause and troubleshoot the issue, we will require the deployment ID and subscription details which is
not recommended to be posted in the public forums. I would suggest you purchase a support plan and speak to a support professional who can, based on the diagnosis take appropriate actions.
You can refer to the following link which gives information about the different support plans. You can also contact the billing/subscription team with a free ticket for more information.

OBIEE 11g - BI Server Login

Hello Gurus
1. I have successfully Installed and configured OBIEE 11g suite.
2. I am able to connect and import meta data.
But when I go to BI Server home page (/obieehome) And enter username and password. It does not validate.
I have tried all username and passwords that came in as part of installation process but no luck.
I would think the default username DEV_BIPLATFORM should work, but no such luck.
So, now, I am not sure anymore which is the username I should be using in order to log in to BI Server home page. Any idea?
My weblogic console is just fine.
Thanks,
R

In addition to my OP, below is some more information.
The OBI installation generated following file with all links. How can I know which username belongs to which link? I could not see a document anywhere on web that would tell me this. Thanks, R

BI Publisher (Obiee 11g) Scheduled jobs start randomly after services restarting

Hi everybody,
I've a problem with scheduled jobs on BI Publisher that start randomly after server restarting.
For example if there's a job scheduled every day at 8.00 am it works fine until the server is not restarted but when I restart it next job running start at 9.28 am (it is an example because the real start time is very unpredictable).
In my case bi publisher is integrated with obiee 11g (11.1.1.6.2) and I've scheduled jobs with administrative user (weblogic). For this user I've set the Bi Publisher Preferences (report locale = Italiano-Italia, Report Time Zone = GMT +1:00) from obiee analytics user account preferencies.
Can anyone have this problem too and help me?
Thanks
Annalisa

These are not helpful. The first link is to OBIEE 10g and the second is just an install guide. I am having the same issue with BI Publisher returning java.lang.NullPointerException in OBIEE 11g. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,
Paul

OBIEE: Uploading a Repository(RPD) in Presentation Services

Hi all,
I am very new to OBIEE. Please help me.
1.After creating a repository how do i upload it to make it available in BI Answers?
2.How do i Upload more than 1 Rpd?
3. How do i create new user in BI Answers same as an Administrator?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Assuming your are using OBIEE 11g...
1.After creating a repository how do i upload it to make it available in BI Answers? You upload RPD using FMW Enterprise Manager (http://yourservername:7001/em). Navigate to Business Intelligence > coreapplication >Deployment > Repository
See the link below:
http://obiee101.blogspot.com/2010/08/obiee11g-deploying-new-rpd.html
2.How do i Upload more than 1 Rpd?You can upload as many as you want in the same way as above, but only one will be active.
3. How do i create new user in BI Answers same as an Administrator?You create users in FMW Console (http://yourservername:7001/console).
See the below link:
