Problem in BI scheduler setup-can not save the ibots

Question

hi gems...
I am trying to setup the BI scheduler in the BI Analytics in a solaris environment....first of all i have set the BI Analytics and i am able to see all the reports...but when i am trying to save the ibots to schedule the reports then it is showing some gnerealised error of AUTHENTICATION FAILED...
the steps I have performed is as below.....
I have executed the DDLs for the scheduler table creation in the schema to which BI Analytics connection pool is pointed..
1. S_NQ_JOB
2. S_NQ_JOB_PARAM
3. S_NQ_INSTANCE
4. S_NQ_ERR_MSG
5. S_NQ_ACCT
then I have copied the reposiroty(.rpd) file and all the report files in the corresponding location
for .rpd- <base_dir>/OracleBI/server/Repository
for report files- <base_dir>/OracleBIData/web/catalog/samplesales/root/shared
then I have changed the NQCONFIG.INI file to point to that repository file.
then I have executed the following commands to set the PATH and the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables
i) export PATH=$PATH:<base_dir>/OracleBI/server
ii) export ANA_INSTALL_DIR=<base_dir>/OracleBI
iii) export SAROOTDIR=${ANA_INSTALL_DIR}
iv) export SADATADIR=<base_dir>/OracleBIData
v) export SATEMPDIR=<base_dir>/OracleBIData/tmp
vi) export SAWROOTDIR=$SAROOTDIR/web
vii) export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH: <base_dir>/OracleBI/server/Bin
viii) export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:<base_dir>/OracleBI/web/bin
after this i have started all the services
i) oc4j start
iii) ./run-sa.sh start
iv) ./run-saw.sh start
after that i am able to see all the reports..
Now i am trying to setup the scheduler and ibots
I have run the following commands..
ii) ./common.sh
iii) ./sa-init.sh
iv) ./sa-init64.sh
then i have run the schconfig
./schconfig
I have configured the SCHEDULER-->DATABASE and SCHEDULER-->GENERAL
then I have run the cryptotools utility to change the credentialstore.xml
./cryptotools credstore -add –infile <base_dir>/OracleBIData/web/config/credentialstore.xml
Then I have given the following inputs...here is the screenshot
Credential Alias: Admin           
Username: Administrator                    
Password:***                         
Do you want to encrypt the password? y/n (y): y
Passphrase for encryption:                    
Do you want to write the passphrase to the xml? y/n (n): nthen i changed the instanceconfig.xml and make the following entry
<CredentialStore>
<CredentialStorage type="file" path="<base_dir>/OracleBIData/web/config/credentialstore.xml" passphrase="secret"/>
</CredentialStore>
after that i again run the schconfig and configure the MAIL
then i restart all the services and also run the scheduler service..
After that when i tried to setup the ibots and save it, it is showing GENERALISED ERROR...
please help...

Answer 1

Set the password for Administrator as blank in the RPD.
Not to mention, the same needs to be updated for the scheduler as well.
If this works then if i remember correctly this was a bug in OBIEE 10g i faced some 2 years before.
