Separate Server for OBIEE 11G Presentation Server

In version 10 of OBIEE many people put the Presentation Server and the OBIEE Application Server on separate servers. Is this architecture possible in OBIEE 11G using the new Fusion framework?

Hi,
can your try to start presentation services alone via OPMN command, and then check the sawlog0.log lastest log message..
example mine,
D:\Oracle\Middleware\instances\instance1\bin>opmnctl startproc ias-component=coreapplication_obips1
opmnctl startproc: starting opmn managed processes...
check the staus and also log message
still if its not working try to reboot your server and then "start all services"
Thanks

Installing Repository Creation Utility (RCU) for OBIEE 11g

Hello,
We are working on installing the Oracle Business Intelligence Entreprise Edition Plus 11g (v 11.1.1.6.0) for a POC in our Company's network.
We have to install the OBI Server and other server-side components on a IBM AIX (64-Bit) server; and the client tools on the local Desktops.
My queries:
*1. I am downloading the following softwares for this setup. Please help me understand is this the complete list of softwares required, or are there any more softwares required for OBIEE 11g intallation?*
List of softwares to be downloaded:
1) Oracle Business Intelligence, v. 11.1.1.6.0
- for AIX (64-Bit):
Disk 1 (1of2) (1.4G) (cksum 4182440856)
Disk 1 (2of2) (1.5G) (cksum 2020935297)
Disk 2 (1of2) (1.7G) (cksum 796853559)
Disk 2 (2of2) (1.3G) (cksum 685152953)
Disk 3 (1.6G) (cksum 1431984641)
2) Repository Creation Utility (11.1.1.6.0)
for Microsoft Windows (32-bit) (320M) (cksum 2503314275) OR for Linux x86 (32-bit) (391M) (cksum 201758785)
Link for (1) and (2): http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-enterprise-edition/downloads/bi-downloads-1525270.html
3) Oracle Business Intelligence Developer Client Tools Installer (11.1.1.6.0)
- for Microsoft Windows x86 (32/64-bit): (360M) (cksum 3317017977)
Link for (3): http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-enterprise-edition/downloads/bus-intelligence-11g-165436.html
NOTE: The JDK 1.5.0 is installed
*2. Where should the additional required software 'Repository Creation Utility' be installed in this case?*
I can see it is available for 32-bit OS (Windows or Linux x86), and that is why I suspect it to be a client-side software - which is to be installed on my local desktop. Hence, Can I download the Repository Creation Utility (11.1.1.6.0) for Microsoft Windows (32-bit) (320M) (cksum 2503314275)
Please clarify.
*4. I will not be installing any of the Oracle BI Applications, so will I require the software Oracle Business Intelligence Data Warehouse Administration Console (10.1.3.4.1)?*
I assume NO.
*5. IMP: Is there a Web server (E.g. Oracle WebLogic Server) included in the OBIEE suite, which gets installed in the default installation settings?*
OR Is there a need to download and install a separate Webserver on the AIX system before installing OBIEE.
Please reply ASAP.
Thanks,
Shweta.

Although it is a POC, but the installation has to be done on a AIX6.1 remote system, which will be used as a server in the enterprise, with 5 to 7 people accessing it. So 'simple install' is not suitable in this case.
The AIX6.1 system has a JDK 6 (64 bit).
I understand that the OBIEE 11g suite comes with a Oracle WebLogic Server (OWLS) installable included in the suite. However, in case of Software Only installation type, the OWLS needs to installed first and then the installer has to be started in 'Softwar Only' mode.
Could anyone please suggest:
*1) does 'Enterprise Install' type suite on the AIX6.1 system? If yes, does it mean that it will install JDK once again? is this recommended, as the host system is a shared server and the existing JDK 6 (64-bit) can be in use by other applications on this system.*
*2) If (1) is not true, is there a way to install the Oracle WebLogic server using the OBIEE 11g installer itself? or do I need to download the WebLogic server installer separately from the OTN site?*
Thanks in advance for any helping pointers on the above.
Please reply ASAP, as this is urgent.
Thanks,
Shweta.

How to create a second OracleBIApplication in WebLogic for OBIEE 11g?

I want to create a second OracleBIApplication in WebLogic for OBIEE 11g. The default one is called "coreapplication". I can create a new one but it doesn't show up in Enterprise Manager. Anyone can help?

I have been trying to create a second OracleBIApplicatino in WebLogic for OBIEE 11g without success. I don't want to end up installing it twice as it is going to consume a lot of resources and also because I want to have a single WebLogic Domain. Has anyone faced the same situation?
What about deploying the "analytics" web application as a new web application with a different context-root (e.g. analytics_test)? I am also trying but I can't make it work. Anyone available to help?

Issue in OBIEE 11g Presentation service.

Hi All,
I found a problem in OBIEE 11g Presentation service, i.e., When i created an analysis with few columns in the criteria, it showed proper result, but when i deleted one column and then again add the same column in the criteria, result did not show the added column.
Anyone else find this issue?
Please share your views..
Regards.

On the left hand corner you will see list of views in the report, on a basic analysis you will see title and table view. Select the table view and click on edit ( pencil symbol ). A new page opens up, scroll down a little and you will see the columns included and columns excluded sections. Make sure the column that you are trying to add to the report is not present in the excluded list. If it is, drag and drop it above.
Answer points if question is answered.
Thanks,

Hardware/system requirements for OBIEE 11g

Does anyone have the hardware and system requirements for OBIEE 11g? I'm trying to procure hardware for an internal environment but want to make sure that the system requirements have not changed significantly from 10g.
Can anyone share this information? It would be greatly appreciated. I know 11g is not out yet but trying to get a headstart on ordering hardware in preparation.

I don't think there will be any major changes in the hardware side of things. Basically anything that was able to run 10g should be able to run 11g. They will probably add support for newer software components which normally happens at each release.

Auto start BI Services for OBIEE 11G

Hi,
We have installed OBIEE 11.1.1.7 on Windows 2008 64 bit operating system and we have restarted the server after successful install.
Now the issue is OBIEE is not accessible after reboot,it is running only if i run the Start BI Services under All Programs --> Oracle Business Intelligence --> Start BI Services and
this not accessible once i log off from the server.
I don't want very time login and start the obiee using all programs,instead i want to install a Windows service that will all run the BI Services,so that Users can access the OBIEE independent of
my login.
I tried many times installing the services for Admin and BI Server but even though the services are install/running successfully,but still not able to access the OBIEE URL.
https://blogs.oracle.com/pa/entry/obiee_11_1_1_how3

Filter Grouping not working for OBIEE 11g

Hello!
I need some help on the below:
I have built a simple report in OBIEE 11g with FILTER grouping on two dimensions as below:
          Operative Hierachy is equal to Europe, IMEA, APAC, China Focus Country, Americas, US and Canada
     and      Accounts is equal to Net Sales (i), Gross Margin (i), GM% (i)
or
          Accounts is equal to Gross Margin, Net Sales, Gross Margin %
     and      Operative Hierachy is equal to / is in Organizations Total
The report was working as expected; but now suddenly it's showing no results with the error "+The specified criteria didn't result in any data. This is often caused by applying filters and/or selections that are too restrictive or that contain incorrect values.+" - even though data is present ! - I have tested this by splitting it into two reports (with only the AND conditions)- which is then woking as expected.
Points to note:
--There had been no change on the Report, when it stopped showing results.
--I have tested this filter grouping with other dimensions- & they are working fine.
--The OBIEE reports are fetching data from ESSBASE cube.
--Only thing which I can remember when it stopped working is that, there had been a data load on the ESSBASE cube. But other reports using these dimensions are working.
Has anyone faced the same issue before. Please help.
Edited by: Anu on Jan 22, 2013 12:31 AM

Hi User, Vijay,
Yes I have checked the generated SQL queries and the MDX queries as well. Both queries are generated as expected, but returns no result.
But now I have found out how these two different dimensions are different from my other dimensions. Only these two dimensions have a SORT order logical column defined in the BMM layer- which I think is causing the problem, BI Server not able decide which column to sort. So, the sql gives result when I cimment out one of the SORTKEY
SELECT
0 s_0,
"PSS Essbase"."Accounts"."Accounts" s_1,
"PSS Essbase"."Operative Hierarchy"."Operative Hierachy" s_2,
-- SORTKEY("PSS Essbase"."Accounts"."Accounts") s_3,
SORTKEY("PSS Essbase"."Operative Hierarchy"."Operative Hierachy") s_4,
"PSS Essbase"."Facts"."Measure" s_5
FROM "PSS Essbase"
WHERE
((("Operative Hierarchy"."Operative Hierachy" = 'Europe') AND ("Accounts"."Accounts" = 'Gross Margin'))
OR (("Operative Hierarchy"."Operative Hierachy" = 'Russia Focus Country') AND ("Accounts"."Accounts" = 'Sales ASP')))
ORDER BY 1, 5 ASC NULLS LAST, 4 ASC NULLS LAST
FETCH FIRST 65001 ROWS ONLY
Any views on what happens when we use two dimensions in the same report which have sort columns defined in the repository...

Windows Services for OBIEE 11G

Hi Guy's..
I have successfully installed OBIEE 11G Enterprise Edition and able to access OBIEE 11G via http://localhost:9704/analytics/saw.dll?bieehome&startPage=1 by only starting the 'Start BI Services'.
The issue what i am facing is OBIEE 11G is only opening/accessible when i logged in to server( Starting the 'Start BI Services').Once i logout then unable to login to OBIEE11G via above link.
Can any one tell me i am missing with any install/configuration steps in installing the OBIEE11G? Please guide to the chapter in documentation..
If not then why OBIEE 11G software is built with out included with Windows Services.
I mean 'OBIEE 11G Services' have to always running with out dependencies on 'User Logged In or not',My objective is to make OBIEE 11G always up and running..

Startup Scripts for OBIEE 11g on Linux

Hi, I originally spent many hours trying to find a startup/shutdown script for OBIEE on linux, in the end I compiled a new one based on notes in the install manual and other posts on the subject until I got it working consistantly
Please add comments or improvements :)
Note: you need to create the boot.properties file (in /security) for each server, and provide the username/password so WebLogic won't prompt for it when starting automatically (otherwise it doesn't start :p) ....refer to the install manual or [weblogic boot.properties|http://onlineappsdba.com/index.php/2010/08/21/weblogic-startup-prompting-from-username-password-bootproperties/]

HI,
Is this script for Enterprise Install on a single computer? For Simple install I think there is no concept of nodemanager and managedserver.

Need help with opatch for OBIEE 11g

I'm running into some more of Oracle's typical gibberish and poorly written documentation, and need some help patching OBIEE 11g.
I'm TRYING to follow the instructions here:
https://updates.oracle.com/Orion/Services/download?type=readme&aru=13160647
So, let's see. How about step 2:
For FMW Opatch usage, please refer the doc at :
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/files/fmw_opatch.htm
Well, that IP address automatically redirects to the general download page:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/indexes/downloads/index.html
Nice.
So, let's try this doc:
http://docs.tpu.ru/docs/oracle/en/owl/E14571_01/doc.1111/e16793/opatch.htm#CBHDEGBJ
Section 2.3.2, "Patching a Fusion Middleware Product"
Quoting: "Once you obtain the patch, determine the Oracle home directory to which you are going to apply the patch....If you do not know the name of your Oracle home, you should run the opatch lshomes command as described in Section 2.4.6, "Listing the Applicable Oracle Homes for a Patch" to obtain a list of Oracle homes that pertain to the domain."
So let's see, I've got two OPATCH.BAT files, one in c:\mw_home1\Oracle_BI1=OPatch\, and the other in c:\mw_home1\oracle_common\OPatch\.
I open a command window, CD to one of those paths, and run opatch lshomes. I get this error:
"The Oracle Home C:\mw_home1 is not OUI based home. Please give proper Oracle Home. OPatch returns with error code = 1. OPatch failed with error code = 1"
Same results for the other opatch.bat in the other directory.
Besides the atrocious grammar, this error message is not helpful in the least. I'm trying to patch OBIEE 11g, which is installed in c:\mw_home1. What else is opatch wanting?

Yes, the error message is misleading. It should say something like "Environment variable ORALCE_HOME has not been set or set incorrectly".
Here is how I solved the problem on a Windows Oracle Fusion Middleware SOA installation. The SOA installation already comes with OPatch installed. In my case it is located in D:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_SOA1\OPatch. On a command prompt, I set the environment variable ORACLE_HOME like this
set ORACLE_HOME=D:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_SOA1
and the CLASSPATH variable like this
set classpath=
The latter prevents opatch from loading classes it does not need and throwing java.lang.ClassNotFoundException. Also notice ORACLE_HOME does not point to D:\Oracle\Middleware but D:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_SOA1. I made a mistake by setting ORACLE_HOME to D:\Oracle\Middleware kept getting:
"Recommended actions: Please make sure no other OPatch or OUI processes is running. Try to run $ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin/runInstsaller.
OPatch failed with error code = 20"
I wasted a lot of time trying to figure out what went wrong.

Oracle EBS Discoverer as a data source for OBIEE 11g

We are a heavy user of Discoverer workbooks with Oracle EBS. We're moving to OBIEE 11g(11.1.1.3) and have an RPD with both 3rd party and custom content.
I wanted to ask the experts here how I can leverage my Discoverer investment with out a lot of re-work in OBIEE. I briefly looked at the MigrateEUL.exe and it says it can move an EUL to an RPD, but talks about some limitations for complex EULs such as an EBS Apps EUL. Even if it created an RPD, I'm not sure how I can merge my current RPD and this newly gen'd RPD.
I also heard from someone that there is a way to setup Discoverer EUL as a standard data source in OBIEE 11g and consume it directly. I'm looking for a document or blog that explains these steps. Any pointers or experiences with the above is appreciated!!
Thanks.

Hi,
For some more details, you can refer to the following document;
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/discoverer/discoverer-metadata-conversion-assi-128504.pdf
My personal expreriences:
The Metadata Conversion Utility is an accellerator / assistant. It does not provide you with an end product. There is some additional handwork requiered. It could be a risk when you copy an old Oracle Discoverer environment. Shit in is shit out. Last but not least; There is not yet a workbook migration utility.
