Presentation Catalog Replication 10.1.3.x

I believe that replicating the Presentation Catalogs is still supported in BIEE 10.1.3.x and is one alternative to having a shared file system for a single catalog.
However, a contact has told me that the replication is problematic. Does anyone know what issues, if any, with replication of the presentation catalog ?
Thanks

With "x64" I assume you are on some x64 edition of Windows Server.
Please see the Installation Guide. It is a must read.
In the chapter about requirements (AS 10.1.3 for Windows), it says
"The 32-bit version of Oracle Application Server for Windows runs on Intel x86, AMD64, and Intel EM64T processors. For additional information, visit OracleMetaLink at http://metalink.oracle.com"

Hi,
I had the same problem and also tried to fix it by uninstalling and reinstalling the BI Office Plug-In. I found the complete uninstallation is a little more than just running it through Windows "Add and remove programs"
Here is what I found:
1. Uninstall using "normal" Windows functionality
2. Search the folder "C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information"
- there are a lot of folders beginning {.. in that
- search every folder and find the one for Oracle BI Office by opening every "setup.ini"
- remember that folder
- delete that folder
3. Open windows registry and found the same key remembered earlier
- delete everything containing that key
4. Open MS Excel, Manage AddIns and look if the PlugIn is still installed. If yes, delete it
5. Delete the folders where you've installed Oracle BI Office (both: BIOfficeExcel and BIOfficePowerpoint
Re-Install Oracle BI Office

Presentation Catalog not Checked Out with Multiuser Development

I have 2 fact tables that belong to one Business Model that are then used to create 2 Presentation Catalogs. I created a project and added the fact tables, which shows the 2 Presentation Catalogs in the right pane to he project , and all looks well. But when I check the project out to my local machine, the Presentation Catalogs are not checked out. I do get the Business Model and Physical Layer, but no Presentation Catalog. Any ideas?
I see in the Oracle docs that compound fact tables are not allowed in projects. I do not believe I have a compound table, but please tell me if I am wrong. In the Business Model and Mapping Layer, each fact table logical source lists only one physical fact table...but in the Presentation Layer, one of the catalogs does use 2 logical fact tables. Is this the problem?
Thanks!

I did not see such an option, I asked around, appears nobody knows, but I admit there could be a way.
I still suggest opening an MS Connect so somebody from the development team would respond.

Runtime error Raise Exception Initial Product Catalog Replication

Dear All,
We are on CRM ISA MSA 5.0 SP8 & Trex 7 SP 30. Ours is a 3 system landscape. CRM Dev, Q, & P. Recently we added a new system in the landscape for Intergration Testing purpose. and its called as CRI which is a copy of the production Crm box.
I did all the post installation activitiese and did all Connections (sm59, srmo) between Trex and CRM. After the connection was made, the RFC, SSR are all working fine.
I did the settings in spro for the product catalog replication, created the ssr and then did a initial replication without document and it worked fine. I then did a replication with documents, I am getting a runtime error, RAISE_EXCEPTION. All the connections between the crm and trex box are working fine. everything is pinging, the FTP user has all the access on the IMS_DOCS_A5C folder.
Can someone please let me know what the issue could be?
Awaiting a postive response.
Thanks in advance.
Warm Regards,
Rajeet Mathur

Hi Rajeet,
The intitial replication transports product catalog data (for example, product items or text) to the index server. You can replicate all or individual product catalog variants. The replicated product catalog contents are transferred from the index server to the Web server. The product catalog contents are then available in the E-Commerce application. Multimedia objects are transferred from the product catalog to the Knowledge Provider Content Server and are subsequently published on the Web server.
As you said that after you put in the documents the repliaction gives a runitme error, I beleive the replication to the contect server is giving problems.
1. Have you created templates for folder and assigned them to the catalog types for the attachement of documents.
2. While replication are you specifying the Publishing computer ID with the checkbox transfer Document content ticked.
Check in these details.

Empty Presentation Catalog using Oracle BI for Microsoft Office (Excel, PP)

Hi everyone,
after installed Oracle Business Intelligence for Microsoft Office (Excel and PowerPoint) and configured according to this I only see an empty Presentation Catalog when I log on Excel or PowerPoint.
I've already see this thread and nothing seems to solve the problem.
Any ideas?

Hi John,
when I test my connection of Oracle BI for Office it says "Test connection successful", so I suppose there's no problem with connection or port.

This is the another error i'm seeing:

Presentation Catalog OBIEE

Presentation Catalog appears to be either reset or deleted and client reports were lost. Is there anyway to restore, or retrieve lost reports or Dashboards in this instance. Have already tried the S_NQ_ACCT in Usage Tracking.
Cory

Was it happened at your end too :)
I dont think we can get that back. You might get after a period of time from usage tracking, not sure exact interval.
Logical queries from usage track might help you some degree.

Presentation catalog are listing on subject area even after removal

Presentation catalog are listing on subject area even after removal of catalog on RPD.
I have restarted oc4J server too

Please make sure that you have saved the repository or not.
And then restart both the services i.e Presentation server & OBI Server

Answer Request and Presentation Catalog

Hi,
Is it possible to get the list of answer requests associated with a specific presentation catalog. There are lots of request created in the shared folder (based on different presentation catalog) for dashboards and common queries.
If it is possible to get the list of requests associated with a specific presentation catalog, it will be helpful to understand the capability of the data mart (the kind of information that we can get from a presentation catalog).
Regards
Vinodh.

Yes. Using Catalog Manager tool.
Open Catalog->Tools->Create Catalog Report
Select required columns and save it as .csv file
Pls mark correct or helpful if helps

Empty Presentation Catalog's Model in Answers

Hi All,
I have just installed Windows Server 2003 and installed OBIEE after.
I can open the paint.rpd file using the Administration tool.
I can see the model in the presentation layer.
However I cannot see the model in the presentation catalog in Answers.
Your help is much appreciated.
Regards,
MA.

Dear wildmight,
Thank you so much for your answer.
But I just did solve the problem. It turned out that Internet Explorer in Windows Server 2003 has something called enhanced security which caused the problem.
I figured that out after trying Firefox and the problem was gone.
So the answer is to use Firefox or remove the Internet Explorer Enhanced Security from Windows components
Many Thanks and Regards,
MA.
