Are there plans to release install files for the SampleApp V207 in addtion to the virtual box image (like there is for the SampleApp V107)

BI Administration Tool in the SAMPLEAPP v207

Is there a BI Administration Tool in the SAMPLEAPP v207 that I can use. If so how do I open it up in the sample app?
Thanks,
Jon

yes there is an Admin tool. you can "download" the client tools from Home within OBIEE web interface.

OBIEE SampleApp v207 Running Deadly Slow

Hi Experts,
I managed to install OBIEE SampleApp v207 successfully and applied all the fixes, though it was a real pain.
Verified that all services are Alive and running. http://i45.tinypic.com/fdu5w6.png
System Configuration
OS: Windows Server 2008 R2
RAM: 6 GB
HDD: 260 GB
Oracle VM VirtualBox
RAM: 3584 MB
Now the problem is when I tried to access any link (OBIEE Login, Weblogic Console, etc), which were already bookmarked in the FirFox inside the image, takes enormous time to load. The WebLogic console login page (http://localhost:7001/em) takes 20 minutes to load. I'm clueless here.
I have few confusion in the host file configuration. Currently, my host file looks as follows:
+127.0.0.1 obieesampleapp.us.oracle.com localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
192.168.90.51 obisamplev207.lgsglobal.net obisamplev207+ <-- This line I've added.
Also the documentations regarding deployment is itself a bug.
Any pointers please.

Are you making progress yet?
20 minutes is definitely too long. On my virtual machine, it took 30 seconds ... from the point I launched Firefox, found the bookmark, and clicked. Probably less than 5 seconds for the login screen.
My best guess is that you do not have "guest additions" configured for Virtual Box.
The OBIEE VM was built on one version of VirtualBox; if you're now just deploying,
you are likely running the latest VB.
My rig is an HP Envy Laptop, quad i7 with 16GB real, Windows 8, Virtual Box Version 4.2.6 r82870
I realized I had to rebuild guest additions, so I decided to "yum update" the Linux el5 release too.
I started a blog entry about my experience:
https://blogs.oracle.com/obieeTips/entry/deploying_the_obi_sample_virtual
And am just getting back to making this deployment run more smoothly.
To start the services, I don't click on the Desktop icons; instead I open a terminal:
cd Desktop
time 0-<tab> ... bash completion to 0-StartDB,sh
time 1-<tab> ...
time 9-<tab>
The total elapsed time to bring all the services up was 13m45s ... including manual steps and recording.
Without a current "guest additions", you also cannot mount a Host directory to your VM for easy transfer.
I'm now working out these kinks, and will update the blog with new solutions.
- Mouse is still erratic, I don't know why. Works perfectly for "moments at a time",
then refuses to control the desktop.
- Screen is erratic ... bring up a Terminal session too close to the screen edge,
and it wraps to the opposite side.
- "Applications, Places, System" often disappear from the title bar
- Now working on Host browsers to interface to the VM appliance,
so I have two network adapters:
NAT --- for yum updates and such
Host-only --- for my Win8 browser interfaces

SampleApp V207 Reduced Install

Hi,
I came across this blog : http://obieedue.blogspot.sg/2012/08/obiee-111162-bp1-sample-application-v207.html
where it's mention about SampleApp reduced install (manual), link to all the relevent downloads is given, except data base scripts.
Can someone point in right direction as where to download there DB scripts from?

Problem with sampleapp v207

I am trying to install and configure SAMPAPP to learn the features of OBIEE.
I am stuck after the chapter 3, all the services I started only step was left to modify the HOST file with ipaddress. all was done few days ago. today I am trying to get back to continue where I left but all I see is blank black screen and don't know how to get back to icons for all the services.
as soon as I try to enter any command on the black screen, I loose the control of my mouse.
I am not sure if it is imp. to spend so much time on setting up this virtual machine. I read the notes on
Re: Weblogic not starting on SampleApp OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1
my question is if I download the repository and cat files from Deva'a blog and use them in my host instance, will that work in knowing the features shown in the sampapp?
I really appreciate if some one out there give me advise on how to proceed. I am new to OBIee and virtuall machine to totally new concept for me to implement.
Thank you

Hi, Beverley.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are unable to trim clips using iMovie. I would need a little more information on how you were attempting to trim a clip to provide a better answer. However, make sure you have the movie project open and are selecting the clip that you wish to trim as this will activate the clip trimmer.

The output from md5sum is what it should be.
I gather that these multiple 2 gig files create one big 22 gig file.
And that the information on all the files is actually found on the last file.
I've tried multiple unzip commands to unzip them, to no avail.

What is the exact Linux command and syntax to unzip them?
Thanks a lot.

Yes, after successfully unzipping on Windows before, I
knew that I could use Windows as a possible work around.
However. Windows is NTFS. Redhat does not work with it.
So, at least two 20 gig copies would be required.
To FAT32.
Then to ext4.
Each a different file system.
Check sum errors anyone?
The idea of contacting Oracle was to hopefully
get in contact with the people who originally
created the zip archive.
If they ran the commands to:
22 gig file -> 11 file archive of 2 gig files
You would think that they would also know how to:
11 file archive of 2 gig files -> 22 gig file
Is anyone in contact with them?
If so, what is the the correct answer?

Essbase vm to external SmartView

Hi,
I have installed the Oracle BI virtual box; - 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 SampleApp v207.
My problem is that I am having problems using it in conjunction with smartview installed on my client p.c. that is 'hosting' the VM.
I have set up the vm as the bridged adaptor, but so far I have no success in seeing either Essbase or OBIEE 'out of the box' via my client web browser.
I have successfully transferred files in / out via a mapped directory drive.
Can anyone point me at a definitive doc / blog on how to do this, or give specific advice what I might be missing?
On the vm the ip shows as 127.0.0.1 with mask 255.0.0.0
many thanks,
Robert.

Hi,
How about copy file from VM to Local drive? Will same problem occures? Have you tried ED's suggestion to update NIC driver?

How to "import" SampleApp repository file to existing repository

Hello
I use OBIEE 11.1.3.5
I woudl like to prepare some kind of training for my business users so I need sample app enviroment in my production enviroment.
I know how to "move" presentation content but I'm not able to merge this two repositories (repository from SampleApp and my production repository). I tried in different ways toll merge repositoru never with full success . (My production repository was upgraded from 10g - maybe this is reason). I tried also copy paste but I have problem with chaged join names (on the fly )in new repository.
Is someone who know how "import"/"merge" both repositeries and could be helpfull :)

OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 - Sample Application (V207)

Hi Experts,
i have installed OBIEE 11g with patch released recently i.e. OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1. now i wanted to have look into Sample app, but when i go the link mentioned below for downloading. it downloads some VM files. is ther any link to download RPD,webcat,along with other database dump file. in short like stuff provided in SampleApp V107 Install Files (Manual install files - not Virtual Image )
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-foundation/obiee-samples-167534.html
Appreciate your help.
Cheers
Ankit

Hello Lalitha,
I found the reason:
the scripts on the Desktop 5-for APS.sh and 6-for EAS.sh are not working correct.
Immidiately after the scrips are done with there jobs to start the target components the just stated processes are killed due to the closing of the terminal windows.
This seems to be an ugly bug.
I'm using the folowing workaround:
Just type an additional command right ater the ordinary call in the sh:
"read dummy" (of course without the ")
This makes the terminal window staying open (because waiting for your input) and thus keeps the processes running. But do not press enter ...
There surely may be a more sensible way to accomplish this. However I'm not a linux guru.
Is someone out there to give us a more robust idea?
Regards
Andre
Followup:
No, just realized for 5-StartEssbAPS.sh it is even worser:
I have to:
1. open an new terminal window,
2. cd to the target directory: /home/oracle/epm/Middleware/user_projects/epmsystem1/bin
3. and from there start the script: ./startAnalyticProviderServices.sh
now the terminal windows remains open and the service alive.

Problem Updating Sample App v207 Turnkey Image to 11.1.1.6.5 Patch Set

I've been using the Oracle-provided pre-built Linux Sample App v207 image in a demo/sandbox capacity. I was hoping to patch it to 11.1.1.6.5 in order to squash some bugs, although I'm fairly new to the OBIEE patching process. I'm running into errors when attempting to apply the 1st patch of the set (14696072). It appears it's trying to auto-rollback one or more previous patches, as expected, but these backup rollback directories no longer exist. Perhaps they were deleted from the image prior to release in order to conserve storage space?
I searched the entire drive for traces of patch 14223977, as there were references to this patch with errors in the opatch log file. The directory it's trying to copy files from does not exist. I did find the two directories below which had references to this patch, but they don't include the subdirectories which OPatch is looking for:
/home/oracle/obiee/Oracle_BI1/cfgtools/opatch/14223977_Jul_02_2012_16_48_19/
/home/oracle/obiee/Oracle_BI1/inventory/oneoffs/14223977/
So I'm wondering if anyone else has attempted applying these updates to this particular image and has found a solution. Perhaps it won't be possible if the rollback or backup files for previous patches are in fact missing. I'm admittedely somewhat new to using opatch, so it's very possible it's not the image, but me that's missing something. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any insight.

Thanks for your reply, Jay. This seems to confirm my suspicion of the files being removed intentionally. This would imply that this image wasn't meant to be patched? So if this is the case, I'd like to confirm that there's not going to be any hope of moving this particular image to 11.1.1.6.5. I'm hoping someone may be able to prove otherwise, but it's not sounding very promising.
I understand that a new manual install is an alternative, but due to several factors, I'd like to avoid that if at all possible. It appears Oracle has not released manual install files for Sample App v207 (please correct me if I'm mistaken about that). I have several scripts based on this content/config which would make patching a much easier route, if possible.
Thanks in advance for any additional insight.

OBIEE 11g SampleApp installing error

Hi Everyone,
I am getting following error messages in EM while deploying SampleApp from oracle for OBIEE 11g.
SEVERE: Element Type: BI_INSTANCE, Element Id: coreapplication, Operation Result: FAILED_TO_START, Detail Message: Error in starting one or more components of BI Instance; Please check the server log files for detailed message
[nQSError: 46066] Operation cancelled
[nQSError: 46066] Operation cancelled
Please help.
Thanks
Manish

Make sure all the BI services are up and running before deploying the RPD in the Enterprise manager. You can check to see if all the services are running by going to the system maintainance tab in Enterprise manager under Business Intelligence Domain. After making sure all the services are up and running, try to upload the RPD again, and make sure the RPD is not corrupted.

Formatting of P&L by Time in OBIEE 11g SampleApp 10722?

Can somebody please give me a quick hint as to how the "P&L by Time" cells and rows were formatted in the 10722 SampleApp. I first thought it was done through conditional formatting on the individual columns, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Hi,
this integration relies on session fixation, that's an insecure practice which is not allowed anymore since 4.1:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Session_fixation
Since the cookie value for the session id is missing, Apex rejects the session id and sets it to null, before calling the sentry function.
If you absolutely want to use this kind of integration, you will have to parse the value of owa_util.get_cgi_env('QUERY_STRING') in the sentry function to get the session id. To make it a bit more secure, the row in APEX_BIEE_SESSION should only be valid for a very short time (e.g. 1 sec). A person from Oracle Support contacted me about possible improvements to this authentication a few weeks ago. I replied with the following suggestions:
I would at least add a Y/N flag (e.g. SESSION_JOINED_BY_APEX) to the
APEX_BIEE_SESSION table. The page sentry should only accept the session
without an accompanying cookie if the flag is still N. It has to set it
to Y afterwards. This way, you ensure that the session joining without
cookie can only be done once. Maybe there should also be an alternative
way to log in to APEX, e.g. via page 101. Currently, this authentication
only accepts session IDs that were generated via OBIEE.
Users could log out of APEX or the APEX session could expire. Therefore,
the APEX app should have a post logout procedure that deletes the row in
the OBIEE session table. On the OBIEE side, APEX_SESSION_ID should
therefore be initialized on each request. The initialization code should
also check APEX_WORKSPACE_SESSIONS to make sure the session still
exists.
Regards,
Christian

Sampleapp unzip password

I'm attempting to unzip the SampleApp_Webcat.zip per the instructions in the SampleApp_Deploy_Instructions_825.pdf file. There are several files in that zip that are password encrypted. The unzip password is not Admin123. I don't find the password in the pdf file, nor in the 'Known Issues' file.
What is the unzip password?

After a semi-successful unzip using WinZip 15, here are some of the errors encountered:

SampleApp error during post-installation verification

I am installing Liquid Data 8.1 SP2 on Platform 8.1 SP2 in a Windows environment.
Installation appears to run OK, but on 'Post-Installation Tasks' the following
error is displayed after Login to the SampleApp (as any user) ...
An error has occurred:
EJB Exception: ; nested exception is:

The console reports ...
Cannot use view 'urn:views:CustomerBaseView'. This view is discarded.
Any help much appreciated as this is just the installation verification step.
Thanks a million,
Tony

If you follow the steps to 'Configure the WebLogic Workshop IDE' you might get
the following error message later on when you try to create Liquid Data Java Controls:
"Schema compile error...
Error occured when compiling the target schemas of the selected query/queries
com.bea.ldi.server.common.MetaDataException: java.rmi.UnmarshalException: failed
to unmarshal class [Lcom.enosysmarkets.xmediator.server.common.Resource;; nested
exception is: java.io.StreamCorruptedException"
Go back and uncheck the 'Use Proxy Server' setting in the IDE Properties, reboot
the server and try again.
