OBIEE - Administration tool doesn't start up

Where to start...
I go to Start >> All Programs >> OBI >> and select Administration, and I get the outer glass symbol for around 4 seconds and nothing happens.
I have these Services Running: Oracle BI Java Host, Oracle BI Presentation Server, and Oracle BI Server.
I have OC4J running as well.
This didn't work but since it did for everyone else on my team I initially figured that I installed it wrong. So I reinstalled it. The thing that makes this odd, is that after the installation, I attempted to open the tool and it worked. THIS WAS BEFORE I RESTARTED MY COMPUTER. I restarted my computer and it now goes back to the initial outer glass and then nothing.
Someone mentioned to clear my temporary internet files, and I have done so with nothing happening.
Please Help
Thanks
Chris B.

If nothing else works, try reinstalling your JDK

Config Tool doesn't start from the application list

Hi all,
I have installed Planning, EAS, and Workforce on a server but when I go to configure the tools, the config tool doesn't start from the page where you select the applications to configure. Instead, it starts with all the apps listed with the message: "You have selected the above apps to configure" and it has a Back button but it doesn't work, and it has a Next button and when I press it, it says Done.
I need to configure the database and deploy to the application server.
The Shared services is on a different server and is up and running. Essbase is on a separate server and that's up and running.
I am working with 11.1.1.3 32 bit applications on a 64 bit Windows OS.
If you have run into this, please let me know what am I missing?
Thanks

Hi
First of all I couldnt get your problem as in your query description you have written "sometimes the video doesn't skips a couple of seconds from the beginning even though the value of NetStream.time property is 0" which is contradictory with the query title "Video doesn't start from the beginning".
But anyways I think you should check ns.time in Play.Start there you should get always 0 but in Buffer.Full there may be the case that ns.time is not 0 but has some value but that value is very small less than 1.
If still you have issue please clarify your problem then probably I will be able to answer your query.

Amit

Installed OBIEE Administration tool on 32 bit client, next step ?

Hello all,
I have installed a BI Server on a 64bit server and OBIEE administration tool on a separate 32-bit client as described in the following post :
How To Install Only The OBIEE 11g Administration And Client Tools [ID 1186342.1]
I assume that next step would be to migrate the BI Discoverer EUL to BI Server; but are there any other configuration that I should do first before that ? Should I install an application database in 11g prior to the migration ? My client only wants a demo with an example from the currently existing EUL so I thought I would make this as simple as I could...
Thank you for shedding any light on this!!!

Hi,
If you look at the compatibility matrix you can see the Admin tool is only supported up to Windows 7, there is no official support for Windows 8 / 8.1 on the current version (new versions will maybe introduce it).
I also read somewhere the 32bit version works, but I also read it was extremely slow when opening (10-15 minutes) and no guarantee everything works.
In the end the best solution is probably to run it in a VM for now waiting for new releases.

Creating views in Physical Layer of OBIEE Administration Tool

Hello,
I am doing a proof of concept of creating an OBIEE repository using the Administration Tool to make a model for an in house sandbox OLTP system. Because this POC isn't using a warehouse that is built nicely with everything I need, I am having to import the OLTP tables into the Physical Layer and then create a few extra views (by creating a new physical table object and selecting "Table Type: Select") to add some new columns I will need.
My problem is that once I have created two views 'ViewA' and 'ViewB', I want to then create a third view 'ViewC' that is the union of 'ViewA' and 'ViewB'. But when I create ViewC from these two views and try to then update row count or view data in newly created ViewC, I get an error message of the effect:
Message 208: Invalid object name 'DBO.ViewA'
Message 208: Invalid object name 'DBO.ViewB'
When I try and create ViewC with DBO.OriginalTableA and DBO.OriginalTableB, however, it works just fine. And I am also able to successfully update row count and view data in ViewA and ViewB independently. So it seems to me like a view initialization problem when trying to have ViewC be created from A and B.
Am I trying to do something that is not allowed in the Physical Layer of the BI Admin Tool? I would think that I should be able to work with views just like actual physical tables from my OLTP. Maybe not.
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

Hi Hammett81 ,
I think, I have given configured connection pool correct. (following Oracle guidelines: 'In the Connection Pool dialog box, on the General tab, verify that the call interface is set to Default (OCI 10g) and change the data source name to the appropriate tnsnames.ora entry ( ORCL in this example). Please note that this is the TNS service name, not the ODBC DSN. ' )
I tried to give ODBC DSN (SH) as call interface, which resulted in an Error dialogue, implying, previous configuration was correct.
So, I reverted back.

OBIEE Administration tool not opening in windows 8.1

Hi,
I have Windows 8.1 64-bit machine installed. I installed OBIEE 11.1.1.7 and the Admin tool doesn't open forever. I read somewhere installing 32 bit version works on windows 8.1. How true is that ? Or OBIEE is completely not compatible with windows 8.1 ?
Any recommendations/solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

OBIEE Admin tool fails to start

Hi,
We have installed OBIEE 10.3.3.2 and app 7.9.4 in windows 2003 server. We will not start anything on this windows box, but will open the Administration and change rpd file in offline mode. But when I am going to Start->All Programs->OBI->Administration , it's throwing error message "The Application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect". I have uninstalled and reinstalled the entire application, but the same issue persist. All other applications like DAC client etc are coming up properly.
Any help or pointer to this issue will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sudipto

I have read the README.txt file which suggests the port numbers might be in conflict. I have changed them several times in the "webcache.xml" file and this did NOT help. I don't think the problem is the port numbers.
What other conditions could cause this problem?
Also, I am not seeing any log files getting generated, but it does create a "core" file. This is on a 4-CPU Solaris box with lots of hard disk space and other physical resources, so I don't think it is a resource problem.

How to Oracle Database Function in OBIEE Administration Tool

Hi All,
I want to use a Oracle Database Function in as a column in OBIEE (BM, Presentation Model). Can anybody has done this inOBIEE. Any pointers to this is much appreicated.
Thanks,

Hi user7417334,
You cannot use any formulas in the presentation layer (not that I know of). But you can definitely use oracle database functions in the BMM layer.
You want to use the EVALUATE function. It works like this:
e.x. EVALUATE( 'TO_DATE(%1,%2)' AS DATE, '12/31/2009', 'MM/DD/YYYY')
Generic Version: EVALUATE( '<FUNC>' AS <DATATYPE>, VALUE1,VALUE2,etc)
FUNC) Is the syntax for the function you are calling. Any parameters have to be replaced by %<number>, where number refers to the order in which you specify your parameters.
DATATYPE) The datatype that the function will evaluate to. In this case, DATE.
VALUE1) The latter part of the formula is a comma separated list of all the parameters used in the function. In this case, it's the date I want to cast
VALUE2) This is the second parameter. You need as many as you referenced in your function. In this case, it's the date format.
Good luck and if you found this post useful, please award points!
best regards,
-Joe

Generate xml of a rpd created by OBIEE Administration 11

I'm using this command "nqUDMLgen.exe -U Administrator -P Admin123 -R <location_to_rpd> -O <location_to_xml> -8" to generate xml for a rpd created by OBIEE Administration tool version 11. The error I get is "The repository <location_to_rpd> cannot be opened". But this works perfectly for a rpd created by version 10. I doubt in the username because the tools doesn't show the default username like that of version 10. What am I doing wrong?

This works for me
nqudmlgen.exe -P Admin123 -R C:\App11g\instances\instance3\bifoundation\OracleBIServerComponent\coreapplication_obis1\repository\SampleAppLite_BI0001.rpd -O one1.udml -8
If it is helpful, please mark as correct or helpful
