OBIEE Backup

Question: When backing up OBIEE repository and additional XML files does OC4J need to be stopped also or is it just the BI server, Presentation services and Java Host.
Thank you in advance for your response.

If you are working on Windows environment, you can directly take the backup of the rpd and the xml files..
If you are working on Unix Env then also you can use WinSCP and directly take the backup of the rpd and xml files...
We are using both the environments and do like this only...
But If you are in Production, be sure that after taking the backup all the services are up and running properly..
Thnx
Anand

  • Backup of OBIEE Dasboard and KPI content

    Hi All,
    I have a OBIEE Dashboard that I developed. Now I wanted to take a backup of the same. For this I took Oracle DB .dmp backup and also .rpd backup of repository. Now the Answers and OSSM content backup I am not able to get how I should. Request you to guide me on the same.
    Also can someone guide me steps on connectivity with Hyperion Planning. Is it the case that only Essbase connects with the Repository or Planning can also. Also can Oracle DB base and Essbase Hierarchy coexist. If yes then do we need to merge the two in BMM layer.If yes then how?
    Warm Regards

    Hi,
    To Take backup of Catalog where your reports,dashboards are stored,
    Naviagte into ORACLE_INSTANCE >bifoundation > OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent > COMPONENT_NAME > catalog > Your Catalog.
    so here you need to copy the entire catalog and paste in some other location as backup.
    Mark if Helpful.
    Thanks

  • S/w for backup the obiee automatically

    Hai Experts,
    Is there any possibility to take the backup of the BI-Application every day automatically and deletes the last week backup? Presently, we are taking back up manually.
    Thanks in advance,

    See this post here: OBIEE Disaster Recovery
    There's no OBIEE functionality for automatic backups (unless it's a script triggered by an iBot...?), so you need to find a way of automating what you do at the moment. There's a plethora of backup and scheduling tools as well as those native to each OS, so you should consult your server Admin.

    In any of the RPD deployments I'm getting the same error , not for some particular RPD .
    FYI , yesterday (before this issue) I had a issue with starting presentation services , so as adviced in forum I replaced the files sawguidstate and sawguidstate.atrin the location:

  • Import OLAP Metadata in OBIEE 11.1.1.5 failing

    We are in the process of integrating our existing Oracle OLAP infrastructure with OBIEE 11.1.1.5. We are currently on 11.2.0.1 DB with our 11g cubes in 11.2.0.0.0 compatibility mode.
    We have two AWs within the same schema that are tightly integrated (Eg. Q12_AW and Q12_HIST_AW). When I import the metadata using OBIEE 11g BI Administrator, I can only see Q12_HIST_AW but not Q12_AW. Also, when I copy Q12_HIST_AW to OBIEE, it errors out. Looking at java host logs, it looks like I am getting parse errors but not sure how to pursue further on why the parser is failing.

    It looks like OBIEE 11.1.1.5 ships with 11.1 jars and since my DB was running 11.2, I faced this issue. The fix is described below for folks who encounter this issue.
    The OLAP API jars on the middle tier need to be updated to version 11.2.x. The OLAP API libraries are found in your Oracle Database home: [oracledb home]\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\olap\api\lib. BI EE provides an 11.1.x version of these files in [obiee home]\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\javahost\lib\obisintegration\aw\11g. Backup the BI EE version of the OLAP API jars and replace them with the version provided by the database.

  • OBIEE 11g Drill Hierachies & Action Links

    Hi Everyone,
    Apologies if this has already been covered in another thread.
    I have create a level based hierachy and a report with 2 columns.
    Type1, #
    When following the drill path the heirachy/report is as follows...
    Type1,#
    which drills to
    Type1, Type2,#
    which drills to
    Type1, Type2, Type3, #
    The problem, I would like to create an Action Link (navigate to BI content) on the Type3 column once at the detail and final level in the drill.
    To provide further context, I have tried saving the Action link the as the default interaction for the type3 column however our version of obiee is saving/remembering the interaction choice but not the action link itself.
    Any ideas??
    Thanks

    1. Did doing this one time create a permanent fix for you?
    - Yes , The reason what I assume is XML is very sensitive and gets corrupted easily if the OBI environment is unstable.
    So in my case since the number of master-detail reports was less - I actually recreated those reports. Filters were being Protected. This fixed our issue.
    DO take the backup before modification.
    2. Why does the protected filter help? Should we always use protected filters when navigating using an Action Link?
    -No idea - As i was playing around to find the workaround - I happened to PROTECT the filters in the master reports and the trick worked out. I assume when filters are protected in master reports - OBIEE front end makes sure that actual filters are carried away when the master is navigated to detail despite XML of the master-detail setup is corrupted.
    3. What is an example of an unused front end object? I am unsure as to what this is.
    -Ohh- I wanted to say - Front end objects ( Reports , dashboards, Saved Filters , Actions, Agents etc which are NOT in use - or which are outdated ) can be removed.
    This makes the front end setup lighter and stable.
    Thank you.

  • How to update the default date format in OBIEE 11G.

    Hi All,
    How to change the default date format in OBIEE 11g from the MM/DD to DD/MM. Could anyone please help me out ASAP?
    Thanks,
    Arpan

    Hi Arpan
    OBIEE 11g is having " localedefinitions.xml " file at this Location C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\web\display
    in my case i installed at C:\Oracle\MIddleware.
    so
    1- Stop BI Server from EM
    2- Navigate to this Location C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\web\display. in your case oracle home will be different
    3- take a backup of this file localedefinitions.xml "
    4- modify it and save
    5- bring BI Server up.
    Regards

  • Changes to NQSCONFIG.INI in obiee 11g is not working???

    I modified NQSCONFIG.INI in obiee 11g and restarted BI services but what ever changes I did are gone. how can I modify NQSCONFIG.INI OR INSTANCECONFIG.XML files?

    As per documentation: e10541
    A.1.1 How to Update Parameters in NQSConfig.INI
    The following procedure explains how to update parameters in NQSConfig.INI.
    To update parameters in NQSConfig.INI:
    Open the NQSConfig.INI file in a text editor. You can find this file at:
    ORACLE_INSTANCE/config/OracleBIServerComponent/coreapplication_obisn
    Make a backup copy of the file before editing.
    Locate and update the parameter you want to change.
    Save and close the file.
    Restart the Oracle BI Server. For more information, see Section 4.1, "About Starting and Stopping Oracle Business Intelligence."
    If you have multiple Oracle BI Server instances, then repeat these steps in each NQSConfig.INI file for all Oracle BI Server instances.

  • OBIEE Reports

    Hi,
    I have installed OBIA 7.9.6.3.
    I am able to start running the Execution Plan Names with various subject Areas.
    On the OBIEE, I want to see the Financials and Human Resources Section Dashboards (All the Dashboards under those 2 tabs)
    I have ran All the HR and Financial Subject Areas and ONLY SOME of the dashboards show actual reports. (Some say no results)
    For example, In the Financials - Receivables - Overview dashboard, I do not see any reports with data but I have ran all the HR subject areas.
    I ran each of these in a separate Execution Plan:
    HR - Absence Event
    HR - Flex Prereq
    HR - Generate Flexfield Data
    HR - Learning Management
    HR - Payroll
    HR - Recruitment
    HR - Workforce
    Financials - Budge
    Financials - Cost of Goods Sold
    Financials - General Ledger
    Financials - General Ledger - US Federal
    Financials - Group Account Number Clean Up
    Financials - Payables
    Financials - Receivables
    Financials - Revenue
    Supply Chain - AP Invoices
    Supply Chain - Purchase Order
    Supply Chain - Purchase Requisitions
    I have ran each of these subject areas in separate execution plans. Do I need to run all the subjects areas in 1 execution plan in order to see some reports?
    Is there a document which lists which subject areas that need to be ran in order to see which reports?
    Please help with any advice thanks.

    I would suggest go for 1 EP for all, or else take care of common dimensions during the load.
    Some of the OOB reports may not show up due the report filters, try to delete those and see with backup of catalog.
    pls mark if helps

  • Differences between OBISE and OBIEE

    Hi all,
    I am searching a document with a table containing in columns the differences (available components, restriccions, etc..) between Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition. I have been searching in Oracle website but I didn't find anything. If someone has something please send it to me: [email protected]
    Many thanks in advance
    Victor.

    Victor please not:
    1. OBI SE is the Discoverer and Reports based solution. Currently available in rel. 11. I guess you ment OBI SE1 that is OBIEE based.
    2. The default installation of OBI SE1 is based on BI EE 10.3.2.1. As stated in Metalink3: "It is supported and quite easy to upgrade the BI components of BI SE1 to higher versions. Just run the BI EE installation as you would for any upgrade -- it will detect that BI EE is already installed and prompt you if you want to keep your configuration or install a new/default. You should choose to preserve your configuration. (of course it is always advised to make a backup before installing) The installation will proceed, installing just the updated product and leave the configuration intact."

  • What needs to be done in OBIEE 11g when underlying data types change?

    I have an SQL table that I am referencing. It contains several date fields that were varchar(8). In order to do calculations, I just cast the fields as date, and performed my calculation.
    Recently, the DBA changed the fields to date type.
    I did a "View Data" and "Update row count", but it seems as if OBIEE is still treating the fields as varchar fields.
    What is the proper procedure in OBIEE 11g to recognize the changes that occurred in the underlying table?

    Hi
    In your scenario, I can suggest you can change manually to  each field lengths in physical layer.
    If you really looking one time fix then try to import the new table stricture into new rpd then save it then try to  merge original rpd . – But it is risky process ( We have two methods, patch merge and fully repository merge).
    Before doing above method take the backup original rpd and do it in your local.
    Thanks,
