Can we have Cognos front end connect to OBIEE repository

How Can we have OBIEE repository be taken as Input in Cognos Framework?
Any suggestions?

Hi,
If your using Cognos version like MDX/XMLA then it should be possible. (on older cognos version you migth have to "reroute" trought an SSAS service.
http://www.biblogs.com/2007/11/26/essbase-integration-with-obiee-101331/
OBIEE with Essbase as datasource-what I need to know
Just fyi...
You can't connect directly to the Cognos cube, you have to go trough the Cognos Reporting server:
OBIEE -> Cognos Reporting Server - > Cognos Cube
or
OBIEE -> MS - SSAS server - > Cognos Reporting Server -> Cognos Cube
But if you are already on Cognos why do you want to transfer data to OBIEE? Cognos is NOT an ETL tool. A Cognos Cube File is only a data file for a Cognos Reporting server.
Thanks

How to connect Linux OBIEE repository to database?

I installed Oracle BIEE.
Then I uploaded the repository from my Windows BIEE.
Then uploaded my catalog (web/catalog/)
Now I must connect my repository to oracle db. How can I do this?
In Windows I did ODBC connections to my databases. How to connect to databases on Linux?
Best regards, Teodor

OK let's start again with all you need to do as you don't clarify if you have done it or not:
1) Make sure you got a FULL Oracle 10g client installed (check with your DBA). Oracle INSTANT CLIENT is NOT SUPPORTED.
2) Make sure the OBIEE user that you use to run the OBIEE services has read and execute permissions on all files under ORACLE_HOME for the Oracle client that you wish to use. Even better if you install the Oracle client with the same user as the OBIEE uses to run it's services.
3) Make sure your Oracle 10g client has the OCI 32bits libraries installed (check in the ORACLE_HOME/lib32 directory that the libclntsh.so.10.1 library exists and it's size is bigger than 0 bytes). OBIEE uses the 32bits libraries.
4) Configure your OBIEE /OracleBI/setup/user.sh file to make sure your ORACLE_HOME and TNS_ADMIN variables are correctly set to the correct values. You also need to set these two:
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib32:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
5) Export all the above 4 variables in your current session and test that you can resolve your database name(s) by doing "tnsping DB_NAME".
6) Restart all your OBIEE services and check that all variables are correctly set (type "env").
After you have done all that give it a test and let us know if it works.

Steps too create connection between OBIEE and Datamart on UNIX box..Uregnt

Hi experts
I have created my OBIEE repository on windows machine. Now i want to Transfer this repository on unix machine so ....which steps i have to follow..
Thanks in advance
Regards
sunil

Hi Sunil,
Your problem Subject and Description doesnot match. If you need to transfer your RPD from Windows to Unix, here are the steps. In fact there is nothing complicated involved.
Hope you have OBI already installed in the Unix machine,
1. Ftp your RPD from Windows machine to the Unix server.
2. Put it in the $SAROOTDIR/server/Repository path
3. Make changes in the NQSConfig.ini file, if needed
4. Bounce the OBI Admin service
But if you need to change the connection pool details on Unix, that is another story altogether.
Regards,

Unable to connect to OBIEE server

Hi,
When I connect to OBIEE server on Linux, my browser kept spining without giving any results (no HTTP404 or 500 etc), what might be the issue?
I checked port numbers in following files and they seems to be correct.
nedit $SAROOTDIR/oc4j_bi/j2ee/home/config/default-web-site.xml&
nedit $SAROOTDIR/xmlp/XMLP/Admin/Configuration/xmlp-server-config.xml&
It must be server issue since I can connect to other OBIEE servers successfully.
Thanks for your help,
Wei

No, the login screen doesn't show either. I pasted following URL, browsers just hangs.

OBIEE Repository and webcatalog deployment with WLST

Hi,
Being novice in weblogic with integration of OBIEE 11G, i heard we have WLST (Weblogic Scripting Tool), is it something like UNIX scripting?, My references told me that we can do many administration tasks that are done in GUI consoles with help of WLST using OEPE (Oracle Enterpise Pack for Eclipse). Now my question is can we deploy OBIEE Repository, OBIEE catalog and start/restart/stop BI services using WLST?
Thanks,

Data Security in OBIEE Repository

I applied Data Security in OBIEE Repository,created testuser and assigned to Test group.Applied security in the Test group for specific column using Logical Fact.When i login using the testuser i am not able to see the applied data filter in the Test Group.Am i missing anything.
Thanks in Advance

I tried but still i don't see the security filter.Do i need to configure my NQSconfigfile.ini.Security filter status in Repository is Enable.We implemented fragmentation in logical fact,anyway that shouldn't matter as per my guess.

Our Search Service got hosed after install of SP1/June CU (didn't upgrade), so I re-created it, but when setting up rules, content sources, I am getting the following error:
This item could not be crawled because the crawler could not connect to the repository. I tried crawling using admin account, so I don't think it is permission related. The DisableLoopbackCheck in the registry is already set...
We previosly had crawl working on this farm, so shouldn't be because we are using host headers and the loopback issue. Does anybody have any ideas? Another error that may be related...

Make sure your hosts file on each server in your farm has 127.0.0.1 webappname in it for each SPSite you're trying to crawl
Look in %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc and edit the hosts file so that it has entry for web app
make sure search account listed as access account is also service admin for search service
check user policy on web app, make sure that account has full read
Check that SharePoint Web Services Root app pool is started on server that is indexing farm
if still cant crawl, give search account db_owner on content db using sql server management studio
Set BackConnectionHostNames for site collection.
Then in a non prod environment, reset index and perform a full crawl, repeat in prod.

Attn - The correct way to connect to the repository

From iFS Product Management.
Many people appear to be having trouble connecting to the repository and are using the wrong API calls to do. The recommended API calls changed between beta and production. For the production release here is the correct way to connect:
1. Four pieces of information are need to connect to the repository
1. The iFS User Name
2. The iFS User's password
3. The properties file to be used
4. The database password of the user who owns the iFS Schema
This is different from the beta where the database password was hardcoded into the properties file.
Note that any TNSNAMES information is still containing in the databaseURL entry in the properties file.
package ifs.demo.samples;
import oracle.ifs.beans.*;
import oracle.ifs.common.*;
import java.util.Locale;
public class ConnectionTester extends Object {
public static LibrarySession testConnection()
throws IfsException
LibraryService service = new LibraryService();
CleartextCredential me = new CleartextCredential("gking","ifs");
ConnectOptions connect = new ConnectOptions();
connect.setLocale(Locale.getDefault());
connect.setServiceName("IfsDefault");
connect.setServicePassword("manager");
return service.connect(me,connect);
public static void main(String[] args)
try {
LibrarySession ifs = testConnection();
ifs.disconnect();
} catch (IfsException e) {
IfsException.setVerboseMessage(true);
e.printStackTrace();
Note that in this example "gking" is the iFS user name, "ifs" is the gking user's ifs password. "manager" is the password of the database user who owns the iFS Schema.
"IfsDefault" is the server properties file that describes the ifs connection. This file is in called "IfsDefault.properties" and is located in the package oracle.ifs.server.properties". This means that the folder that contains the 'oracle' folder that is the root of this package must be referenced in the class path when running this example.
Note, if you use the older, 3 argument form of the connect you will get an unable to connect exception as the iFS will not have the Schema Password.
null

When I run the example below on Solaris (after setting the CLASSPATH etc., I get a oracle.ifs.common.IfsException: IFS-21008: Login Failure
oracle.ifs.common.IfsException: IFS-10170: Invalid name/credential.
(I am providing all 4 pieces of information for connecting)
When using the web interface the same userid and password work fine (system/manager).
Please help.....

Problem connecting with non-repository owner

I'm using OWB 10gr2 with Oracle DB 10gr2
I've created a repository and can connect with the designer using that repository owner.
Within designer, I enabled another DB user for access (he got the OWB-role "everyone"). He is shown in the gloabl explorer -> security -> users.
But when I try to connect with the designer using the non-repository owner, I get some german error message saying something like "No repository available for this user".
The db user has the database roles OWB_xxx. He can connect to the database and access (read/write) the repository schema.

Added results using ombplus.

There are 2 different errors, the latter is a syntax problem. If you own the repository you can connect without the USE REPOSITORY clause.

OMB01118: Could not connect to repository! PRS-00510: You need to specify which

Simply use:
OMB+> OMBCONN sales/sales@localhost:1521:orcl102 USE REPOSITORY 'OWB'
Connected.
The initial post is something else... the user I connect with in the above statement is also a target user. Should not matter. It is also in Windows XP. Does it work if you use "target user"?
