Unable to Edit Dashboard as Administrator (Merged RPD/Catalog)

Hi,
I am having trouble editing a dashboard that another developer created that was merged into our main RPD/Catalog.
It is one subject area (same DB schema), and one presentation catalog folder. I copied the RPD objects into our main RPD, copied the folder and *.atr file into the main Catalog.
When I log into answers, all of the newly added dashboards show up properly. However, if I click on Page Options, I have no link to Edit Dashboard - even logged in as Administrator. If I go to Manage Presentation Catalog, this folder does not have a security lock (permissions) icon next to it. If I go to Manage Interactive Dashboards, the place where permissions icon normally is shows a red cross instead.
I checked the OS level permissions for the catalog files to make sure they look the same as other dashboard/report files.
Any ideas on this?

1.Stop the Presentation Server.
2.Backup the instanceconfig.xml file at [middleware_home]/instances/instance1/config/OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent/coreapplication_obips1/instanceconfig.xml
3.Under the 'Catalog' section, add the 'Recover' tag. For Example:
<Catalog>
<UpgradeAndExit>false</UpgradeAndExit>
<UpdateAccountGUIDs>Recover</UpdateAccountGUIDs>
</Catalog>
4.Start the Presentation Server. It will perform a recovery and then after some time shutdown.
5.Remove the tag.
6.Start the Presentation Server again
Hope this helps. Let us know if you still have issues.
Thanks,

Hm, interesting article.
It posts the error text from the manual
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14219/e29250.htm#sthref8601
ORA-30926: unable to get a stable set of rows in the source tables
Cause: A stable set of rows could not be got because of large dml activity or a non-deterministic where clause.
Action: Remove any non-deterministic where clauses and reissue the dml.
Mentions a support request on metalink of someone who hit the error, where the response from support was again the error text from the manual, and adds the helpful hint that modifying the where clause may help as it may not be deterministic.
So we have the error text posted twice and then a paraphrase of the action required, just in case we hadn't got it from the first two times.
There is of course a lot more advertising and colorful images to look at than can be found in the manual.
Maybe Stephanie F. was having a bad day, she doesn't look at all well in the photograph.

i am logging with weblogic user only.. I tried with creating diff user's also.. even then i am unable to view that..

Hi if you can created new users and groups u should assign the application roles to that users and groups..
And u should give the Administrator privileges to that group.Then only you have the read and write options....
For reference please follow this link..

Unable to edit the forms in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and adobe pdf reader.

Hai ,
i am unable to edit pdf forms . on clicking on the form text field error message comes as "font capture" message heading and content as
"C:\Windows\system32/ATMLIB.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support."
if pressed ok . aplication get closed
i reinstalled all aplication with old versions but sill have the same error .please give a solution . thank you.

thank you for the suggestion, but I do not have a "Send Email" or "Submit" button available in my version. I have "Attach to email" option which automatically opens a new message in MS outlook (which I did not set up, it just started doing so automatically) without any further dialogue boxes or options.
Also, this is only for regular PDF files, not forms.

I am unable to edit an image in Photoshop.

I just installed Lightroom 5.3, and I have Photoshop CS5.1 installed. The problem is that I am unable to edit an image in Photoshop. When I click Photo>Edit In, the option for Photoshop is not active (i.e., it's not black), so I can't click on it. Why are the options for Photoshop and all of the other Photoshop related options, such as Merge to Panorama, etc., not active? In Preferences I have the following settings: File Format = TIFF; Color Space = ProPhotoRGB; Bit Depth = 16 bits; Resolution = 240; Compression = None. I am using Windows 7.

Chris:
I have to apologize for being misleading on my request for help in
resolving the problem.
Actually the version I am using is CS2 not CS3.
Yesterday I tried numerous times, and ways, to edit an image and each time
it refused to allow me to save it.
The software program just shut down. This evening when I decided to give it
another try it worked perfect.
Guess the program just took the day off.
Thank you for offering to help

Unable to open dashboards in presentation services

Hi All,
I have recently installed BI applications in my system.After installtion I am unable to open dashboards.Answers and delivers all the others are working fine.
When I click on the dashboard link it is giving the following error
"access denied for user to path /users/administrator/_portal.
Error Details
Error Codes: O9XNZMXB".
Thank You

Hi ,
I could't able to solve my problem after going through the above post.
I Want to login into Presentation services using paint/paint as userid & pwd, but it is throwing me following error.
" Unable to Log In
Error connecting to the Oracle BI Server: The specified ODBC DSN is referencing a subject area that no longer exists within the Oracle BI Repository.
Error Details
Error Codes: WH4KCFW6:OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLDriverConnectW).
State: 08004. Code: 10018. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: 08004] [nQSError: 10018] Access for the requested connection is refused. [nQSError: 43037] Invalid catalog, Sales - Order Lines, specified. (08004) "
When i gave some blank pwd, then it clearly shows that "An invalid User Name or Password was entered."
So, i concluded that the pwd which am giving for the pain is correct and there is some thing to do with my catelog. So, i went ahead and changed in the instanceconfig file as pain catalog and even restarted oc4j, Bi server & Presentation server, even then its giving me the same error.
Also, my NQS file have paint red as default.
Can anyone give some inputs on this error and how to over come this?

Unable to edit Hosts file in Win7 Home Prem 64bit.

Clean install. Administrator account. Unable to edit the permissions of the hosts file. There is one in the drivers\etc file, which I cannot edit. There is supposed to be one in %systemroot% \SysWOW64\drivers\etc but there is no etc folder in the drivers folder.
Turned off DNS Server. gpedit.msc not found when calling it in "run". This is the first time I've used 64bit anything, so a bit of a newb in that respect.
Any ideas?

Hi,
As you would know, some of the Windows 7 users can’t save the host file how they like it. The host file itself will simply vanish what the user had done with it.
In my scenario, I was unable to fix this even after all the instructions provided in above posts. Hence, I have come up with my own idea and luckily it
worked.<o:p></o:p>
For those users who experience this problem, here are the instructions to fix it.
First of all, you should have the administrative privileges to edit the host file. In normal case, if an admin user directly go to the host file in system 32 and add his preferences
and then save it, it should keep the changes. However, in some wicked scenarios, it will not. I had done a detailed research on this through all the available online forums and even contacted Microsoft several times with no luck.
So, here you go with a correct solution for this problem.
Note: If you are not comfortable with Windows OS and don’t know what you are doing, this process can mess up things.
Hence, do not attempt if you are not 100% sure you can make it.
Login to an administrator account.
In the run command (Windows key + R) type, “control folders” and hit enter.
Click on the tab called view.
Select the radio button for Show hidden files, folders and drivers –ON.
Uncheck the ‘Hide extension for known file types-ON
Click on Apply and then OK.
Type “drivers” in run command and hit enter. It will take you to where the folder “drivers” located in System 32.
From the “drivers” folder, double click the folder named “etc.”
Now you can see the “host” file along with others.
Now, in the search area in start menu, type “notepad.exe” and open the notepad.exe as administrator. (In order to do this, you can right click on the notepad.exe shown and select
“Run as Administrator.” If UAC prompted, click YES/OK)
Now, you will have a notepad open with administrative privileges.
At the top left side of the notepad click on “file” and then select “Open.”
A box will appear which will allow you select the file to open. Carefully, navigate to the location where the “host” file is located. To do that, select the drive where you
installed Windows. If you have the Windows installed in C: select ‘Local Disk (C :)’ > Windows > System 32 > drivers > etc. At this point, you might not have another option to proceed or select from. The window would be empty. To proceed further,
select the option “All files” from the drop down menu which is located above the “Open” and “Cancel” button. You can now see all the files located in etc folder.
Select “hosts” from the menu and click on “Open.” Note: You can either click on open or double click on the file.
Now, you will have the host file information open in the notepad which you had already initiated before with administrative privileges.
Make whatever changes you as you wish. (Example: If you need to block a web site called
www.block123.com you can type 127.0.0.1
www.block123.com right under the local hosts.
Make sure you do not change any other letters or characters which are already saved in host file.
This will completely mess up your computer. For more information on the information about host file, refer the Microsoft web site:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972034 . If you
have accidently delete/edit anything from host file, please delete the complete information stored in host file and copy and paste the host file information from Microsoft which is appropriate for your Operating System.)
Click on “file” again and select “Save as” and save it in etc. If the path is showing correct to etc folder, save it to etc. If it is navigated to somewhere else, follow the
instructions provided above and select etc folder and then save it.
Now, go back to the actual host file location which is in System32 > Drivers > etc (You would have it already open if you had followed the instructions just like the way
I have provided)
There you can see 2 host files. One which has already been there and the other one you just saved.
Among the two, one is called “hosts” and the ‘type’ would be ‘file.’ This is the original host file. The other which you have just saved will be named as “hosts.txt” with the
file type as ‘Text Document.’
Right click on the original host file and select rename. You can even click on that file and press F2. This will enable the option to rename the file. Rename the original host
file as “hostold” and hit enter.
Now, select the second host file which we have saved as a text document and rename it as “hosts.” Make sure that you DELETE the .txt file extension in order to change the type
“Text Document” to “File” and hit enter.
Now, you have successfully saved the host file with your preferences.
You can now delete the file which we renamed as “hostold.”
We are done. You would need to do this process all over if you need to edit the host file again. I know it is difficult, however, it is our own requirement and we have to invest
few minutes on this.
Enjoy your computer with a great feeling that you have finally edited the host file as per your wish and take it from here. Wish you luck.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Is IE running in compatibility mode, and if you're accessing CA from the SharePoint server, did you run it "As Administrator"?

How to Pass dashboard prompt value to RPD variable??

Hi Experts,
I am creating RPD variable with below query in initialization block
SELECT extract(month from Max(report_date)) from xyz_date_dim where report_id=14 and year=:YEAR
I am having YEAR prompt in dashboard..from this RPD variable i want to get MAX(month) from selected year in dashboard.Here my problem is unable to pass selected YEAR to RPD Initialization block.
I read some threads we can pass user selected values to session variables. If possible can any one help me how to pass variable to achieve my requirement.
can any one help me in this....
Thanks,
KSS.

So you want to pick a month in a dashboard prompt and have the answers report filter for that month, and return results for that month, month -1, month -2 etc etc.
If so try the following, lets assume your measure is simply called 'count'
in the BMM you have measure 'count' with aggregation set.
Create a new measure in the BMM called 'count MAGO' or whatever you want (this will be month -1)
in the logical forumula for that column, use the AGO function, syntax would be AGO(count measure,<time dimension.Month>, -1) - this function is found under the 'Time Series Functions' category.
repeat steps to create 'count 2MAGO' and use -2 in the AGO function to take off 2 months.
Repeat for however many Mth Ago's you want.
Then in answers, simply use is prompted on your month fied to filter the report for the relative month, select your 'count', 'count MAGO', 'Count 2MAGO' etc, the measure will be calculated for prior months relative to your filtered month.
Sorted?

Quick Poll Greyed Out - unable to edit

Hello,
We have a series of quick polls assigned to individual campaigns and all are 'ongoing'. These are then assigned to KM IViews and assigned to users via roles etc.
Last week we were able to edit the quick poll, editing the text, participants etc but for some reason we are now unable to.
I've logged in as administrator and checked permissions etc but still unable to edit.
There are no locks pending in the portal.
any idea what the issue could be?
thanks
Simon.

Hi ezadler,
Did this issue only haapen to this one particular list?
Please check if there are more related ULS logs in 15 hive.
And also try saving this library as a template and create a new libarary based on it, then check if issue still exists, then change the "multiple lines of text" type
Enhanced rich text to
Rich text (even Plain text) if possible, then check again.
Thanks

Unable to edit or delete profile in Access Connection 5

Hi Everybody!
I'm unable to edit or delete profiles in Access Connection on my T41 running latest Access Connection v5.
The edit and delete buttons on the Access Connection Profile menu are shown only in light grey color and it's not possible to click them. I have administrator rights on my machine. These profiles were initially migrated from a very old v3 (automatically during system update) and I guess that this is one of the root causes of my problem.
I have also tried to use the QCTRAY.EXE /DEL command, but that's also not working. The profiles just remain there unchanged.
I would be very pleased if somebody could give me a hint on how to overcome this boring problem.
Best regards,
Helmut
Solved!
Go to Solution.

v3 profiles are not compatible with v5.
The best solution in your case would be to uninstall Access Connections with profiles and then reinstall and create new profiles.

Merged RPD not working

Hi Folks
I had 4 different RPD's in four different machines. I merged all four of them using the Merge option in the admin tool, into one machine as the requirement had changed. But when I upload the merged rpd in the enterprise manager I am not getting the reports in the OBIEE dashboards. Please help. I have attached the screenshots below.

Hi,
A good thing when having error messages on screen is to read them. I did it thanks to your screenshot and here is what I read in your error message:
Oracle Error code: 12154, message: ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified at OCI call OCIserverAttach. [nQSError: 17014] Could not connect to Oracle database. (HY000)
The good news: OBIEE is working just fine ...
The bad news: your connection pool are using wrong connection information (datasource name, username, password).
Merging RPD and move them on 1 single server doesn't magically change the connection pools to adapt the settings.
Open the connection pools of your 4 physical databases defined in your RPD, check what settings you have there inside, validate the TNS is known and "pingable" from the BI server (tnsping) and make sure you can connect.
It's a DB connection issue, nothing more.

Merge RPDS

Hi,
I have a requirement in which i have 2 different repositories developed against the same database. So they have same name for physical Database and schema in the physical layer and each of the rpd have their own different business models and presentation catalogs.When I merge these 2 rpds ,I want to keep the presentation catalog and Business models separate in the merged rpd ,but the physical layer has to have only 1 physical database with all the tables. Is this possible to achieve?
I have tried to merge these two rpds using a blank intermediate rpd, but what I get is 2 separate physical database in the physical layer. I followed this link:
http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2008/03/24/oracle-bi-ee-101332-merging-repositories-substitute-for-import-from-repository-2-way-merge-with-no-parent-part-2/
Thank you,
RM
Edited by: user8663768 on Nov 6, 2009 11:04 AM

Yes, the import from repository option works fine for now.
But I am afraid when this feature is going to be deprecated. Is there any other way to achieve the merge functionality of two different rpds and have the same physical database connection, but separate logical and presentation layers.
Thanks,
RM
