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,
Vinoth

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.

OBIEE Administration Application not opening up

From the windows start button, when I navigate to the Addministration item and click .... it does not start up. No window... nothing.
It acts like I did not even click it.
Need help.
Thanks

I had the same issue with version 10.1.3.4.1. I could not get the Admintool.exe to start.
I found that the issue is related to having multiple version of Java. I had 2 versions of Java:
1. jdk1.5.0_13 (under folder C:\jdk1.5.0_13)
2. Java 1.6.0_15 (under folder C:\Program Files\Java\jre6)
Here is what I did to fix the problem:
1. Uninstall Java 1.6.0_15
2. Deleted from my DOS PATH variable any reference to any JAVA (i.e. PATH=%PATH%;c:\jdk1.5.0_13)
3. Uninstall OBIEE
4. Install OBIEE. When asked me about my Java folder/path, I entered c:\jdk1.5.0_13.
5. Once OBIEE installation was complete, I tried to launch the AdminTool, and it worked fine.
6. Install Java 1.6.0_15.
7. Rebooted my PC.
8. Launched OBIEE AdminTool.exe, and it worked fine.
Someone, having reference to multiple version of Java creates the issue.

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!!!

Firefox will not open multiple windows.

Just upgraded to Firefox 3.6.3. I can open multiple tabs in the open window, but I can not open another window. Possibly unrelated issue is the search bar not functioning.
As for the window issue, I've tried;
Ctrl + N
File [N]
File -> New Window
Rt Click Link -> Open in New Window
Nothing whatsoever happens with either of these attempts.
As for the Search bar I've tried to input a search and press [Enter] as well as clicking the magnifying glass with the mouse. As with the window issue nothing happens.
I'm not sure if these issues are related. Restarting does not fix these.
Addons are:
Adblock Plus v1.2
Add to Search Bar v2.0
All-in-One Sidebar v0.7.11
Bookmark This Page Plus v0.3.3
ChatZilla v0.9.86
Download Youtube Videos + v2.1.3
DownThemAll! v1.1.9
FEBE v6.3.3
Flashblock v1.5.13
Greasemonkey v0.8.20122408.6 (This looks very odd to me o.O)
Java Console v6.0.18

Move Media Player v7
NoScript v1.9.9.77

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

Firefox 30 will not open new windows maximized

I use Firefox on 2 machines, one at home and one at work. I updated both to Firefox 30.
My home machine, with Windows 7 opens new windows maximized.
My work machine, however, will not open new windows maximized. It will only open them at the last remembered window size. I have tried deleting localstore.rdf and this does not solve the issue.
The window will open maximized on Firefox 28 on the same machine.

Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.
Poke around safe web sites and see if there is still a problem. Then restart.

Report not opening in windows 8

hello all,
on some machines report not opening after windows 8 installed can anyone had this issue .
Please help..
Dilip Patil..

Hi Dilip,
Based on my understanding, you want to open reports on some machines which have Windows 8 installed, right?
Regarding the issue, we couldn’t understand it clearly, and we would like to confirm something from you below:
1. Which method have you tried to open reports, SSDT, report manger or another application?
2. Have you installed SSRS on the machine which have Windows 8 installed? If so, have you checked if the version of SSRS is supported on Windows 8?
3. On which version of SSRS you create those reports? If those reports open with a higher version of SSRS, you should refer to this
article to upgrade the reports firstly.
So in your scenario, please provide more information about the issue then we can understand the issue clearly.
Best regards,

My itunes will not open in Windows Vista, I have tried everything suggested on the apple website, there is some type of plug-in issue..can someone please help me?

Hello,
I need help! My itunes will not open in Windows Vista. I have tried everything suggested by the apple website. Even when I open itunes in safe mode, it still will not allow me to continue. I am assuming when it says something about Plug-ins that has something to do with the problem. Can anyone help me?

Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply.
I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago. I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam. I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase.
Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions. Could you please explain?
I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.

Firefox will not open new window for websites that require it

I am running Firefox 3.6.16 on Windows XP.
For some time now, certain websites will just not work - for instance, when I use Mapquest, it used to open the new window when I clicked on "print" - that no longer happens.
Today, I was trying to use the eScrip online mall, and when I clicked on the store name, it did not open a new window - this was working fine back in December when I was doing my online shopping.
My suspicion is the new version has some kind of problem. does anyone have a solution for this?
Thanks!

I use MapQuest a lot but haven't used the PRINT option for a while. I just tried it and you are right, the PRINT does not open any window or even work. But if you change it to the NEW MapQuest, the PRINT function will work. I guess MapQuest has disabled the PRINT option in their CLASSIC version. Maybe they are trying to encourage users to use their NEW version instead.
If you still want to use the CLASSIC version, you can always copy the map and paste it onto a Image Editor program and print from there.

I switched on my PC and there was an update for realplayer. Since then firefox will not load. It is running according to Task Manager. I've downloaded a another copy of the programme using IE but whilst it loaded as a programme, does not open a window.

Hi again,
Helps if I give the correct link ! The press shift button appears to still work, but the option to start in safe mode from the programs listing of a standard install I do not think exists anymore.
Safe mode will start from a command line, (or a shortcut) and in some circumstances you may need to enter the full path name on a command or shortcut detailed instructions are at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode
Remember (at least at this stage) do not make changes when you get the options list, just click on the continue button.
If you think that RealPlayer is causing the problem you could uninstall that for now.
Firefox recent versions are 3.6 4.0 (and 5.0 in beta). There is some debate as to whether creating new profiles or re-installing Firefox is the simplest method of troubleshooting and solving some of these problems, personally I use multiple profiles and multiple versions of Firefox, and tend to forget the required procedures are less than straightforward. For now at least try [[safe mode]] again.

ITunes 10.6.0.40 will not open on Windows 7, no error messages come up. Have tried un-installing it and re-installing it many times.

iTunes 10.6.0.40 will not open on Windows 7, no error messages come up. Have tried un-installing it and re-installing it many times. Please help.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases.
Or roll back to the previous build:
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro will not open in Windows 8

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro will not open in Windows 8. It worked until 2 days ago, now it won't do anything. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it with no luck.

32 or 64 bit system? Have you updated Acrobat? Was anything else installed between when it worked and did not? When you say AA 9 will not open, does that mean when you have selected it in the programs list (OK, that is the metro interface if you have not installed the desktop options -- 3rd party)?
