OBIEE 11g - Upgrading Simple Install to Enterprise Install.

Hi Experts,
I have a OBIEE 11g instance in Simple Install. Is there a way to Upgrade the same Instance to Enterprise Install without Uninstalling and Reinstalling.
Thanks
Swami

no you cant upgrade from simple to enterprise..you have to do a full install

  • OBIEE 11g upgrade wizard & installation on linux 64bit

    Hi,
    Is it that on Linux 64 bit machine, i should install OBIEE 11g in "Software Only" mode, only then upgrade wizard works correctly, if i need to do "Software Only" should i be installing weblogic server independently? or at high level what are steps to be followed.
    Thanks,
    Sree

    Hi Sree,
    What you are mentioning here is relevant for Windows 64 bits environment where you have to install the software only after installing web logic standalone.
    The installer for Linux 64bit will install all the components for you except of course the RCU that you need to downlaod and install first.
    Please refer to this link for more details about the installation
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/bi.1111/e10539/c4_installing.htm#CIHDJGIH
    NB: Devlopement tools (Admin tool or catalog manager..) don't exisit for Linux, so you have to use windows for development

  • Obiee 11g upgrade issue for date format

    Hi,
    I am facing a date format issue with obiee 11g report. This statement cast(cast(current_date as char) as timestamp) is failing with "not a valid month" error in obiee 11g. This worked fine with obiee 10g.
    I am basically trying to set the date to 12:00:00 am of the sysdate. Below is what I am trying to achieve:
    timestampadd(sql_tsi_hour, 1, cast(cast(current_date as char) as timestamp)))
    the above statement fails in obiee 11g.
    Thanks for your help,
    AP

    I dont think you need any functions to get the required output, try to set the date format as below
    [FMT:timeStampShort]
    If helps mark
    Thanks

    I think with format and then the below should work with no issues.
    timestampadd(sql_tsi_hour, 1,current_date)
    I think you are wasting time by posting here, just do it. You no need any ones permissions to do it ;)

  • OBIEE 11g 64-bit install on Windows 64-bit

    I wanted to solicit any experiences that the user forum is having with installing 11g on a 64-bit Windows platform. I understand that the Admintool/Job Manager will not run with the 64-bit installation package but we can install the newly released Client install to circumvent this. I am seeing many forums out there in which the 64-bit OBIEE install is done as Simple or Enterprise. My understanding is that this is useless as the bundled WebLogic utilizes at 32-bit JVM. There is a Doc ID out on Metalink (ID 1220564.1) that states one can only do a Software Install. So we have proceeded with the following steps of downloading first the Java 64-bit JVM, then a WebLogic instance utilizing the 64-bit JVM (java -D64 -jar xxx.jar) and finally the OBIEE Software Only install.
    The issue we are running into is that the Install fails when attempting to start the OPMN. So during the install the "Executing:opmnctl start coreapplication_obips1
    " fails and references the OPMN not starting. We are unable to start the OPMN service as well. We have a static IP, so this not the known issue with the loopback adapter. The other issue I saw was having to install the VC++ 2005 SP1 libraries per another Metalink Doc ID (1226254.1). This was all done, however, the install continues to fail.
    It seems the lack of knowledge from support as well as the vague/lack of documentation is frustrating. I just wanted to ping the OTN community around this scenario.

    Thanks Paul, really appreciate the update. Spent this morning rebuilding our environment with 64-bit (Win 2008) and starting from scratch. The install has now succeeded. I tell you one thing you pointed out is something we noticed when we proceeded with the second install. That was the WebLogic version. I had initially used .4 and on the second install we used .3. I am guessing that this may have been the issue.
    I will verify with our Oracle resources and I hope this post will assist other when doing the 64-bit install as I think it is very vague in the documentation.
    I will update the post with Oracles response as well.
    Just as an FYI... the reason this issue came up in the first place was we did an Enteprise Install on 64-bit and found that the Gauge Charts weren't working in the SampleAppLite Subject Area. So I will add that to the Tags for this post.
    Hope this post helps others and they don't go through the headaches of a wrong install type.

  • Error while configuring OBIEE 11G OPMN Service during Installtion

    Hello,
    i tried installing 11G with simple install on Vista and didnot work, I think 11g does not work on Any Vista and not sure of W7
    second, i tried installing the same on Windows XP and the installtion worked fine till the end and while configuring OPMN Services,
    the OBIPS Services and OBICCS services failed, i retried to configure this services with "retry" option but never worked, so i skipped this part thinking that
    i can configure this manually. finally i was not able
    weblogic's Admin server, Managed server, Node manager and Analytics.war deployments are all healthy in EM Console and Weblogic console
    the Fusion Middleware control in EM Console shows the BI Components are not started and i tried restarting it and but never started.
    so i think there is something wrong with OPMN configuration at the end of installtion
    is there a way to trouble shoot this.
    i tried searching of SAWSERVER service so i can start the manaully, but it did not start
    i did a softwareonly install on top this single instance installtion thinking if that can help me, but it didnt
    so please anyone help me
    Thanks
    Kumar

    Hi Kumar,
    I believe OBICCS is the Oracle BI Cluster Controller Service. That particular service requires a static IP address. A lot of people use the loopback adaptor to accomplish.
    Here's a quick rundown of some things you should check before installing OBIEE 11g.
    1. Make sure you have a static IP (use a loopback adaptor if you have to).
    2. Make sure your static IP adaptor is the first adaptor in your connections list. You can do this by going to Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Network Connections -> Advanced. Use the up and down arrows to ensure that the static IP is the top of the list.
    3. Make sure you hosts file (c:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) has the proper entry for the static IP address. For example, if your computer is called MyComputer and your static IP is 192.168.0.1, then the first entry should be: 192.168.0.1 MyComputer. Note: You may need to have your domain on your entry. ie. 192.168.0.1 MyComputer.mydomain.com.
    I recommend you check those things. If you missed one of them, fix it and then back out the 11g install and re-install.
    Good luck and if you found this helpful, please award points!

    Thanks,

    Hi all,
    We are able to resolve the above issue with the below solution.
    Root cause of the issue:
    You may have a temp directory in the path C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Local Settings\Temp. You got the above mentioned exception because of the temp directory path having spaces_+ in it.
    Solution:
    1. Create a new directory called TEMP in a different location for ex: C:\TEMP
    2. Now, Right click on My computer --> Properties --> Advanced --> click on Environment Variables.
    3. You should be having TEMP and TMP as variables under user variables section pointing to the C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Local Settings\Temp path.
    4. Edit the TEMP and TMP variables and mention C:\TEMP in the variable value.
    5. Deinstall and re-install OBIEE 11g.
    Happy OBIEE 11g installation!!
    Thanks,

  • 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,

    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.

  • Need help with opatch for OBIEE 11g

    I'm running into some more of Oracle's typical gibberish and poorly written documentation, and need some help patching OBIEE 11g.
    I'm TRYING to follow the instructions here:
    https://updates.oracle.com/Orion/Services/download?type=readme&aru=13160647
    So, let's see. How about step 2:
    For FMW Opatch usage, please refer the doc at :
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/files/fmw_opatch.htm
    Well, that IP address automatically redirects to the general download page:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/indexes/downloads/index.html
    Nice.
    So, let's try this doc:
    http://docs.tpu.ru/docs/oracle/en/owl/E14571_01/doc.1111/e16793/opatch.htm#CBHDEGBJ
    Section 2.3.2, "Patching a Fusion Middleware Product"
    Quoting: "Once you obtain the patch, determine the Oracle home directory to which you are going to apply the patch....If you do not know the name of your Oracle home, you should run the opatch lshomes command as described in Section 2.4.6, "Listing the Applicable Oracle Homes for a Patch" to obtain a list of Oracle homes that pertain to the domain."
    So let's see, I've got two OPATCH.BAT files, one in c:\mw_home1\Oracle_BI1=OPatch\, and the other in c:\mw_home1\oracle_common\OPatch\.
    I open a command window, CD to one of those paths, and run opatch lshomes. I get this error:
    "The Oracle Home C:\mw_home1 is not OUI based home. Please give proper Oracle Home. OPatch returns with error code = 1. OPatch failed with error code = 1"
    Same results for the other opatch.bat in the other directory.
    Besides the atrocious grammar, this error message is not helpful in the least. I'm trying to patch OBIEE 11g, which is installed in c:\mw_home1. What else is opatch wanting?

    Yes, the error message is misleading. It should say something like "Environment variable ORALCE_HOME has not been set or set incorrectly".
    Here is how I solved the problem on a Windows Oracle Fusion Middleware SOA installation. The SOA installation already comes with OPatch installed. In my case it is located in D:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_SOA1\OPatch. On a command prompt, I set the environment variable ORACLE_HOME like this
    set ORACLE_HOME=D:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_SOA1
    and the CLASSPATH variable like this
    set classpath=
    The latter prevents opatch from loading classes it does not need and throwing java.lang.ClassNotFoundException. Also notice ORACLE_HOME does not point to D:\Oracle\Middleware but D:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_SOA1. I made a mistake by setting ORACLE_HOME to D:\Oracle\Middleware kept getting:
    "Recommended actions: Please make sure no other OPatch or OUI processes is running. Try to run $ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin/runInstsaller.
    OPatch failed with error code = 20"
    I wasted a lot of time trying to figure out what went wrong.

  • Removing Admin Server in OBIEE 11g on AIX 6.1

    Hello all,
    1. We had installed OBIEE 11g software only install and configured a instance which we had to uninstall later on. We had followed the steps provided by oracle for uninstallation of instance - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/bi.1111/e10539/c6_deinstall.htm#CIHIDHEB
    2. We had also deleted the contents in bifoundation_domain.
    3. Then we had deleted Managed server entry from console.
    4. Then we executed config.sh for another instance and the port allocated to the new console is 7002, with a new set of Admin and Managed server.
    Kindly suggest a way to delete AdminServer of the first instance, where console is using port number 7001.

    Before going to install obiee11g,
    just clean all existing obiee11g install registry, RCU Schema(DEV_BIPLATDFROM/DEV_MDS),
    physical folders,
    temp/tmp and services.msc (admin server/bi_server, OPMN/node manager -->delete services) , ODBC - obiee11g existing connection remove it via registry then reboot u r pc and then start install ...
