OBIEE on Unix

Hi All,
I have a small query.
My Siebel is running on Windows. Can I have my OBIEE installed in Unix/Linux and get the data from Siebel(From WIndows)?
Thanks in advance,
Imtiaz.

Hi Saichand/Srikanth,
Just one more to add to that.
Take this scenario:
If both my datasource and my OBIEE is on windows but on different machines. Say the data source is on a machine
called 15.100.165.16. and datasource name is SIEBEL. How I can connect to that machine from my Connection pool?
And take the very scenario which I asked before, my OBIEE is on Linux and datasource on windows on a different machine. Then what are the changes I shoud make once my repository is migrated?
Kindly let me know if am not able to explain this scenario correctly.
Thanks in advance,
Imtiaz.

Running reports on Flat file schemas when OBIEE server is on Unix

Hello
we would like to know how Unix OBIEE work with flat file. Currently, in our environment our Development and Production OBIEE are running on Unix AIX machine while our local OBIEE environment is on Windows.
As our devolepment and configuration goes, we have encounter situations where the flat file schema that were working well on Windows OBIEE server will not run on Unix. The flat files are located on a windows file directory and could be successfully imported into OBIEE throu Admin Tool.
However, when updating rowcounts or running reports on answers in Unix OBIEE it would return errors:
State: HY000. Code: 472983136. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 16023] The ODBC function has returned an error. The database may not be available, or the network may be down. (HY000)
The same activity is working fine on our local machine when OBIEE is on windows..
We would like to get some help on how to work with flat files when OBIEE is runing on Unix..

is this the same question as [this one|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=4018049#4018049] ?

Unable to use WriteBack function in OBIEE on a Unix setup

It's already good to know that the file gets picked up.
What I don't understand: "The log files are not being updated with the error however when I re-save my Answer it is populating the log file to state that the object already existed."?
I had to put a fake "insert" statement to get it working once. Here's the example:

How to create odbc (dsn) connection for OBIEE AND INFOR in unix environment

Hi,
we are establishing OBIA in Unix environment we set all the things fine but we are getting problem how to create ODBC connection
for INFORMATICA AND OBIEE. I searched some blogs thats telling there is a ODBC.INI file we need to configure.
but i am not getting clear idea to give parameters and it will not showing any TNSNAME ..........etc
please any body give clear idea about how to create ODBC connection and LOCATION of that file AND parameter which i need to give.
Thanks,

OBIEE Cache Purge in Unix Environment

Hi,
We are trying to purge OBIEE cache using unix shell script and purgecache.txt which contains call to SAPurgeAllCache().
We are using below script
export MW_HOME=/qa/middleware/
. $MW_HOME/instances/instance1/bifoundation/OracleBIApplication/coreapplication/setup/bi-init.sh
$MW_HOME/Oracle_BI1/bifoundation/server/bin/nqcmd -d AnalyticsWeb -u weblogic -p weblogic1 -s /users/home/test/purgecache.txt
We are gettting below error message After executing script
/qa/middleware/instances/instance1/tmp/OracleBIODBCComponent/coreapplication_obiodbc1/obis_temp is not a valid Oracle BItemp directory path
is it required to call sa-init64.sh ?? Are we missing anything?? What could be another way to purge cache from command line?
# it is required to run bi-init.sh (UNIX) or bi-init.bat before launching any command line utilities. This sets the environment variables like ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_INSTANCE correctly. We have used it.
# Commented sa-init64.sh
# as it is giving below error
# syntax error at line 7: `(' unexpected
Thanks in advance

You can try this
Create a text file with a name e.g: say purgecache.txt with below code in it
Call SAPurgeAllCache() and save the file in /<MW_HOME>/Oracle_BI1/bifoundation/server/bin directory.
Before running nqcmd, you must first run bi-init.cmd (or bi-init.sh on UNIX) to launch a command prompt or shell window that is initialized to your Oracle instance. You can find this utility in:
<MW_HOME>/ORACLE_INSTANCE/bifoundation/OracleBIApplication/coreapplication/setup
Then, run nqcmd from the resulting shell window with the desired options.
For example:
nqcmd –d my_dsn –u my_username [-p my_password] –s sql_input_file –o my_result_file
You can pass a text file with SQL statements to the utility (script mode), or you can enter SQL at the command line (interactive mode). Queries are run against the default subject area, unless the object names used in the query are fully qualified.
For example to purge BI Server cache run below command
In windows:
nqcmd -d AnalyticsWeb -u <weblogic_admin user> -p <weblogic_admin password>-s purgecache.txt
In Unix:
./nqcmd -d AnalyticsWeb -u <weblogic_admin user> -p <weblogic_admin password>-s purgecache.txt

Call Unix Shell Script From OBIEE

Hi All,
Is it possible to do a call to a Unix Shell Script with the Action Framework from OBIEE.
Thanks in Advance

I dont think so but we can go for it instead of BI side. Try to port the same functionality on shell script side, so that the script can identify your report using tail of nqquery log and execute the rest of your lines in shell script.
This can doable and works as expected. If at all you are going with my suggestion you can go for a small key word to identify your report instead of that lengthy logical query.
Pls mark if helps
