Oracle BI Administration tool - Connection has failed

Hi, can any one let me know how to connect database in oracle bi administration tool, am trying to connect it but it always give an error the connection has failed

Hi,
If your source is Oracle then you can use OCI and provide the user name and password details in connection pool,
else create one ODBC connection in your local machine and select the created ODBC from the connection pool and give Mauser/password credentials.
Mark If Helpful/correct.
Thanks

The connection has failed while creating a New Repository using Oracle BI 11g Administration Tool

hi
In the BI Administration Tool when i try to create a “New Repository…” faced The connection has failed I try all of these solutions but dident work..
1-configured my “System DSN"
2-enter “TNS_ADMIN” for the “Variable Name” field and for the “Variable Value” enter the location of my OBIEE
3-copy the sqlnet and tnsnames.ora files into E:\obiee11gtmt\Oracle_BI1\network\admin and E:\obiee11gtmt\oracle_common\network\admin
4- put this in DSN with connection type OCI 10g/11g (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = IP Addr)(PORT = 1521)) ) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = ORCL) ))
please help me
regard

1.Place tnsnames.ora file in the following paths,
E:\obiee11gtmt\oracle_common\network\
E:\obiee11gtmt\Oracle_BI1\network\admin
2.Navigate to
E:\obiee11gtmt\instances\instance1\bifoundation\OracleBIApplication\coreapplication\setup\
Open user.sh file in a notepad
Set Tns_names paths as shown below with your tnsnames.ora file’s location,
set TNS_ADMIN=C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\NETWORK\ADMIN
The above path is of your installed Database tnsnames.ora file
I guess you didnt do this step. This will solve your issue.
Restart all the services

Oracle BI Administration tool has stopped working

Just now finished the 11g installation.But im not able to open BI Administrator.Im getting this error.Please help.
"Oracle BI Administration tool has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.Please close the program"

I followed the below steps(taken from this forum) for installing OBIEE11g 64 bit version in a 64 bit machine.Installation completed successfully.But not able to open BI Administration tool.Any suggestions???
There is not a particular 64bit installation. I think it works like this: if you are using a 64bit JDK the apps server is also running 64 bit.
You can find the generic jar here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/wls-main-097127.html and take the generic one (http://download.oracle.com/otn/nt/middleware/11g/wls1033_generic.jar)
You install this by a command like this (you have to look up the documentation): java -XXm.... .... wls1033_generic.jar
Then a installer pops up.
So these were my steps:
- installed RCU
- installed 64 bits JDK (jdk-6u21-windows-x64.exe)
- installed Weblogic (wls1033_generic.jar)
- installed OBI as "software only"
- configured OBIi (config.bat you can find in <obi11g home>\Oracle_BI1\bin)
All together it does not take much longer then the 32bit install. Only some extra steps to do.

OBIEE The connection has failed Essbase Error 226246926

I recently installed BI Administration Tool 11.1.1.7 64bit on my Windows 7 machine and was trying to establish a connection to Essbase. After setting the properties for Database and Connection Pool in the Physical Layer, when I click on "Import Metadata" I am getting an error "The connection has failed Essbase Error 226246926". I choose Essbase 9 on the Database type The connection pool properties for the rest of it is all default, I even tried using Essbase 11 but still getting the same error.
Earlier, when I had BI Admin Tool 11.1.1.6, I was able to successfully establish the connection using database type as Essbase 9 but after the the upgrade I was not able to establish the connection.
I would appreciated any suggestions/inputs to fix the issue

Hi,
his issue is fixed. tnsnames.ora file need to exist in the both OBIEE Oracle homes ( C:\Middleware\Oracle_BI1 and C:\Middleware\oracle_common )
After the 11.1.1.5 installation on my Windows Machine, C:\Middleware\Oracle_BI1\network\admin directory structure was created.
However for the 2nd Oracle Home (C:\Middleware\oracle_common), the directory structure existed only till C:\Middleware\oracle_common\network. I copied the TNS file to C:\Middleware\oracle_common\network.
pls mark correct,if ansrwd
thanks

Cannot view data on physical layer on Oracle BI administration tool

Hi everyone
I have a schema1 and table1, table2, table3.
I have connect in odbc using the schema username and password and it was successful.
I can view the data using toad and sql oracle developer with schema username and password.
I also import the tables in Oracle BI administration tool with my schema username and password.
But my problem is i cannot view the data on the table in physical layer using my schema username and password.
Please help,
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I'm confused about the last bit, you did a database import to get the tables into the RPD, which worked, but now they are not showing in the phsyical layer of the rpd? They should be there under a database with the name of the ODBC/OCI that you used when you imported them.
If they are not there then this would make me think that the import of the tables has not worked, try importing just one and see what happens.

Matt

Oracle BI Administration Tool - OCI problems

Hi
I've experienced the following problems with the Admin tool, when importing metadata and data through an OCI connection pool :
Oracle BI Admin tool crashes when I try to "View Data" on a table containing a SPACE in one of the columns of a row. Strange but true. e.g. I created a dummy table to prove this. Table ABC, Row 1 Col1 = ' ', Col2 = 'ABC', Row 2 Col1 = 'X', Col2 = 'X'.
The admin tool give me the following message The instruction at ….. referenced memory at ……… The memory could not be “read”
When I update the SPACE to NULL or something else, it does not crash.
Also when introducing the OCI connection pool, the Presentation Server just hangs, when I try to login to it.
These problems seem to be quite strange. I'm running ORACLE BI EE 1.0.1.3.3 on Windows 2003 server.
Has anyone experienced these problems ? Please help.
Thanks
Cheers
Greg

Hi Venkat
The SPACE error appears in a pop up window and reads :
Title (Online) Oracle BI Administration Tool - AnalyticsWeb: AdminTool.exe - Application Error.
Message : The instruction at "0x78144a51" referenceed memory at "0x00000005". The memory could not be "read".
Click on OK to terminate the program
Click on CANCEL to debug the program
As for the presentation services, I think the initial install was the vanilla install for Windows. Presentation services was probably re-installed using the same default settings.
As per my previous reply to Adrian, the problems do not appear on Linux, using the same Windows repository file with the same OCI connectivity set up.
Thanks
Cheers

Is it Compulsory to give Schema and Work Schema while creating the Physical Schema in Oracle Data server?
This is mandatory to have a schema and a work schema here.
The schema and work schema could be the same user as the user who is connected to the dataserver!

Merging with Oracle BI Administration Tool

I have specific question about merging with Oracle BI Administration Tool.
At first, I copied rpd by merging with no common parent. After that, I renamed all objects in business layer and presentation layer, renamed name of database, name of connection pool, name of scheme in physical layer and deleted old aliases. And now, I want to merge my original rpd and final rpd, but I got this error:
Following objects didn't merge properly:
Logical Column ...
Logical Column ...
Logical Column ...
Logical Column ...
How can I solve this problem?
Edited by: kubes on 29.01.2012 23:58

Hi,
check whether you are merging as "No common parent " or with "Common parent".
Thanks

Oracle BI Administration tool - Guide

Hi all,
I have created an essbase cube using adventure works RDBMS in essbase studio.
I have deployed it to essbase server.
Now i want to create an analysis using this in my oracle BI EE.
So I have used Oracle BI Administration tool and imported that essbase. I have dropped that essabase from physical layer to presentation layer and exported to oracle bi server.
While creating analysis using this i got something like
Gen1,Product
Gen2,Product
Gen3,Product
Gen1,Geography
Gen2,Geography
in all the hierarchies. I don't know how to rename it.
Anyone can help me how to replace it. Also if you have any documentation or forum related to this please provide me?
I am new to this tool.
Thanks

Oracle BI Administration Tool Unix

Hi ,
Does anyone have an idea how to launch 'Oracle BI Administration Tool' on UNIX.
Under Winows it is "Start > Programs > Oracle Business Intelligence > BI Administration" , but in the official doc, launching it on UNIX env is not mentionned ...
Thx all !

Admin tool is Windows based only.
To open rpd online mode from Windows you need to have DSN pointing to your Linux/Unix box.
Check these

The connection has failed while importing metadata in RPD

Hi All,
Recently I start creating a repository (OBIEE 11g client version 11.1.1.3.0) in offline mode and I want to import metadata which failed by the error ‘The connection has failed’..
Kind Regards,
Mohan

Hi Mohan,
Solution:
1.Copy the tnsnames.ora from Oracle Database home (ORACLE_HOME\NETWORK\ADMIN\) to the following locations.
* \OracleBI1\network\admin (Example: C:\OBI\Oracle_BI1\network\admin)
* \oracle_common\network\admin (Example: C:\OBI\oracle_common\network\admin)
2.Set the TNS_ADMIN environment variable value with one of the copied locations in the step 1 in user.cmd or http://user.sh file depending on your OS.
This file will be found under
\instances\instance1\bifoundation\OracleBIApplication\coreapplication\setup
(Example : C:\OBI\instances\instance2\bifoundation\OracleBIApplication\coreapplication\setup)
Thanks,
-Amith.

AWM and Oracle BI Administration Tool

What's the relation between Analytic Workspace Manager and Oracle BI Administration Tool?
They both can build cubes.
So can I use BI Administration Tool of OBIEE only not in combination with Analytic Workspace?
If I only use BI Administration Tool of OBIEE to create cube is there any other problem?
My database is 10g not 11g and I use Analytic Workspace Manager 10.2.0.3.0A.
I feel all functions of AWM are included in OBI-EE administrator, so for what do we use AWM? Can we use OBI-EE administrator only?
I am exploring every aspect of OBIEE usage.
What's the difference between "building" and "defining" the cube? Physical data generation?
I feel in 10g AWM is use less at all...
Edited by: wbb826 on Apr 8, 2010 1:24 PM

Both comments are correct.
You can build your cubes in AWM which will map data from your relational tables and allow you to aggregate the numbers.
In 11g cube views are created already and can be imported into OBIEE to create a reporting layer. The plugin works well. In 10g you need to define a whole heap of metadata on the OLAP side to expose the data within cubes to then import into OBIEE.
You are correct in saying OBIEE can create and report on multi-dimensional data, but the problem is with performance. OBIEE will have to aggregate the data on the fly and then return results. Whereas if you leave the aggregation to the OLAP side you will be able to report on pre-aggregated data inside of OBIEE using the cube views.
If you are starting this exercise, then i suggest you go with an 11g level-based hierarchy setup and use the plugin for OBIEE.
