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
Maya

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.

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.

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.

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?

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

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
Greg

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

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

BI Administration Tool crashes in nqsdbgatewayodbc35.dll

Hi,
In the Oracle BI Administration Tool (v 11.1.1.5) we import metadata of an ODBC 3.5 datasource into the "Physical" layer. This works fine, but when I click to "View data..." on an ODBC table, the whole Administration Tool crashes with the following output: "*Unhandled exception at 0x6e9281ff in admintool.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00030028.*"
Note that the ODBC driver used is our custom implementation and it conforms to ODBC standard 3.5
When debugging the application at the moment where it crashes, the call stack is:
nqsdbgatewayodbc35.dll!6e9281ff()
[Frames below may be incorrect and/or missing, no symbols loaded for nqsdbgatewayodbc35.dll]
......the driver's debug symbols are loaded and it is obvious that the driver code is not directly involved in the crash.
Analyzing our driver's logfile, I can see that the tool crashes after calling SQLExecute() - which returns successfully - but before calling SQLFetch().
Even more interesting, if I remove some fields from the table in "Physical" layer and only leave numeric type fields, suddenly "View Data..." returns the table's content.
Anyone knows of a bug in nqsdbgatewayodbc35.dll which might cause this issue?
Does anyone have an idea of how to investigate this? A debug symbol file (.PDB) for the nqsdbgatewayodbc35 DLL doesn't seem to be available.
Where do I find the logfile for the BI Admin Tool? Can detailed logging be turned on?
Help or hints appreciated,
Thanks!
Juraj

Hi Adil,
For one of our products - a position keeping system - we have an in-house ODBC driver through which business data can be extracted, e.g. for reporting purposes.
