Unable to Import metadata into RPD

Hi,
I have installed OBIEE 111.1.1.6 on the sever and OBIEe client tools on my local desktop.
now when i am trying to import metadata into my rpd by connecting to database it shows me the error "Unable to connect"
can you please let me know if i am missing any prerequisties on my local desktop or any settings that i need to actualy srt importing?
Please help me.
Thanks

If the call interface is OCI, enter a full connect string or a net service name from the tnsnames.ora file you set up within the Oracle Business Intelligence environment, in ORACLE_HOME/network/admin.
If you are using a native interface for a different database, enter the name of the database for that system.
If the call interface is ODBC, the data source name field displays a list containing all the User and System DSNs defined for ODBC on the local computer. Select the correct one for the data source to which you want connect.
If it is helpful, please mark as correct or helpful

Error while Importing Metadata into DAC Repository

Hi,
After the successful first time login into DAC and creating repository, when I try to import metadata into DAC repository.
DAC > Tools > DAC Repository Management > Import
I don't see any Applications listed under "Application List"
Can anybody suggest the troubleshooting steps for this?
Regards,
Jitendra

If this is the first time that you are importing make sure that the directory you are importing from is like this -
C:\OBIEE\OracleBI\DAC\export
If this is not the first time then
Can you go inside the following directory
C:\OBIEE\OracleBI\DAC\log
and check for export.log - Look for Applications Section, if you have any application then you had exported it and you should see it under the applications tab when importing otherwise you don't !!Since its an xml file that is generated i believe you have not exported by selecting the applications yo want and that is your problem.
Hope this helps !!

How to import metadata into EPMA application by using ODI

Hi All,
1.Can you tell anyone, how to import metadata into EPMA application by using ODI. Detailed steps with screen shots will be appreciated.
2. What was the interface tables. How the interface tables will be useful while importing metadata into EPMA application (Detailed steps with screen shots will be appreciated.). And tell me the interface tables structure and work process. give me the clear idea bout interface tables. I don't know anything about interface tables.
3.Which method(either using ODI or Interface tables) is optimized/bestcase for importing metadata into EPMA application.
My database is Oracle 10g and I am using Planning 9.3.1.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks And Regards,
Bhagya Lakshmi.

Hi,
Answer to your questions
1. You can't import metadata directly into EPMA using ODI, the only option is use the EPMA interface tables which is your question 2.
2. Interface tables are just a structure of database tables which you populate with metadata and then this is pushed into EPMA, the structure of the tables takes a while to get an understanding of. The best place to start would be the documentation :- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/bpma_admin.pdf
3. As explained in question 1 you can't use ODI directly to import metadata into EPMA but with a lot of hard work and effort you could probably populate interface tables from EPMA, though I must admit I am not a fan of the interface tables because I don't think they were designed with simplicity and ease of use in mind.

No response when trying to Importing Metadata into the DAC Repository

Hello,
I just installed OBIEE and OBIAPP as well as Informatica and am now trying to login to DAC client to import metadata into the DAC repository. So Tools->DAC Repository Management>Import. After I checked Universal and Siebel 8.0 and clicked OK button, there is nothing happening. I can actually still click on the Cancel button to close the Import window.
Has anyone experienced this before? Really appreciate some help here.
Thanks,

I have exactly same problem. did you manage to solve it?

Unable to Import objects into ID

Hi All,
For your support I have completed the development work and I have moved to Quality from Development. But while trying to import the one scenario in to Quality System from Development in XI, I am getting the following Error:-
Internal error: Unable to transfer changes for object Service | Q14CLNT120 to change list "XI 3.0 Import" (9a590f30-7245-11dc-9266-00306ee97ef1) since object still in change list "XI 3.0 Import" (3ae5e660-701d-11dc-942e-00306ee97ef1)
I have somehow managed to import another scenario last week into Quality, although now I am unable to import. But while trying to activate the imported scenario into Quality System I am getting another Error as below:-
Unable to move object. Change lists were not part of the same import
I tried to activate the change list..but no woek.
Could anyone please advice?
BR
Soumya

Have you checked the GUID in SLD in both the systems?
SLD-->Software Components, to check the GUID.
You can do one thing, first of delete imported objects which are not getting activated from QA, also delete the SWCV from Integration Repository.
Note: Before deleting SWCV, make sure any other working objects are not there in the same SWCV.
Now, if SWCV & GUID in both systems are same then again:
1. Export the objects from Dev (.tpz file)
2. Imort the same .tpz file to QA system.
Now go to Repository of QA and
1. Tools --> Import Design Objects
2. Tools --> Transfer from system landscape Directory --> Update Application Components.
Select your components and press Finish button.
And finally try to Acitvate your objects.

Sarvesh

Unable to import IDoc into IR

Hi - For no reason i can't import the IDoc into XI.
The problem seems to be that in backend system is a problem. The basis-type and the segments are all released - to me because i released and de-released them. The Idoc was developed in client 010 and i want to import ist from 011 - of course there was some kind of transport!
In WE20 of backend system i am not able to pick this IDoc for Incoming parameter, no idea why.
In XI i am able to import MetaData via IDX2 but i am still not able to import the IDoc!!
can somebody help?! br Jens

Hi,
1 Scenario
This guide deals with all the configurations required to create an IDoc adapter in Exchange Infrastructure
3.0 to send an IDoc from XI to the SAP backend system.
Unlike other types of adapters, the IDoc adapter has dependencies on the XI 3.0 ABAP configurations and
the backend SAP system configurations. Those configurations information will have to be either created
first or retrieved in order to complete the IDoc adapter configuration.
2 Introduction
Configuring IDoc adapter in Exchange Infrastructure 3.0 requires some configuration on the SAP
systems, for both XI and the backend system where the IDoc message is to be sent. These steps, although
simple, are many times missed or mis-configured, causing the delivery of messages to fail.
Since IDoc adapter uses the ABAP stack, instead of J2EE, the configuration requirements are mainly in
ABAP.
Setting up IDoc adapters requires the XI integration server to be able to communicate with the backend
SAP system, and also to make sure that the Logical System Name used when posting IDoc exists on the
backend SAP system.
3 The Step By Step Solution
The basic steps for the IDoc configuration are outline below:
1. Configure SM59 on XI to communicate to SAP backend system.
2. Configure port on XI for IDoc communication.
3. Create or verify the Logical System Name on the SAP backend system.
4. Create or verify business system in XIs System Landscape Directory.
5. Verify the Logical System Name of the business system.
6. Verify or add the Logical System Name for the sender business system.
7. Create/configure the Communication Channel for the IDoc receiver adapter
3.1 Configure SM59 on XI to communicate to SAP backend system.
1. Using transaction SM59, create an RFC destination with Connection Type = 3.
In this example, the RFC destination name is NDVCLNT510.
2. Enter the logon information:
3. Test the connection by clicking on Testing connection and Remote logon.
Both must be successful.
3.2 Configure port on XI for IDoc communication.
4. Go to transaction IDX1 on XI, and create a port. In this example, the Port name is SAPNDV.
     The Port name must be in the form of SAPxxx, where xxx is the system ID of the backend SAP
system.
     The Client must be the client number of the backend SAP system.
     Select the RFC Destination which was created in the previous step.
3.3 Create or verify the Logical System Name on the SAP backend system.
5. Enter transaction SALE on the SAP backend system.
6. Create or verify the Logical System Name. In our example, NDVCLNT510 is verified.
3.4 Create or verify business system in XIs System Landscape Directory.
The business system name for the SAP backend system must contain a valid Logical System Name. This Logical System Name is the one verified or created in the previous step.
7. In the System Landscape Directory, select the SAP backend business system. If one does not exist, then create the business system. Verify the Logical System Name.
3.5 Verify the Logical System Name of the business system.
8. In the Integration Directory, doubleclick on the business system (in our example, it is NDVCLNT510).
Navigate the menu:
Service Adapter Specific Identifiers.
If information is empty or incorrect, then it will have to be synchronized with the content of the System Landscape Directory. Follow the steps below for synchronization.
9. (Optional) Synchronization of the business system in Integration Directory to the business system in System
Landscape Directory.
     Double-click on the business system in the Integration Directory.
     Switch to Edit mode.
     Select menu: Service Adapter-Specific Identifiers
10. (Optional) Within the dialog box, click on the button as indicated below to resynchronize.
11. (Optional) If the expected data from the System Landscape Directory is not updated, then the SLD cache may need to be cleared first.
3.7 Create/configure the Communication Channel for the IDoc receiver adapter.
15. In the Integration Directory, create an IDoc receiver communication channel.
     The RFC Destination is from step 3.1.
     The Port is from step 3.2.
NOTE:
There is no need to create an IDoc sender Communication Channel for XI. Instead, the backend SAP system must be configure to send the IDoc to XI.
4 Appendix
Transaction: IDX2
There are a couple of situation where IDX2 can be useful on the XI system.
1. When we want to test connection between the XI and SAP backend system.
2. When an IDoc has changed, and the meta data stored in XI needs to be update. When an IDoc is sent from the SAP backend system to XI, XI will first check to see if the meta data for the IDoc is already in its persistent cache. If not, then XI will use the configuration in IDX1 to retrieve the IDoc meta data from the backend system. If the
meta is already in cache, then it will NOT do so. Therefore, when an IDoc has changed, it is necessary to manually update the new meta data on XI, or delete it from the cache, so that the latest version can be retrieved. IDX2 is used for this purpose.
Go to transaction IDX2 and click on Create.
Enter the IDoc Type and the Source Port as defined in step #2. Click Continue.If successful, the following will show up. If error occurs, then the IDX1 configurations will need to be re-checked.

Unable to import metadata using OBI 11g Admin tool

Hello folks,
I am new to OBI. I am trying to build a RPD. For that purpose I am trying to import some tables from database but I am unable to. I created DSN and also tried using OCI but no help. The OBI Admin tool client and database is installed under other user's account. Is that the reason I am unable to import tables?
I am getting this error:
Internal Error-Unable to initialize NLS during driver load - When I try to use ODBC &
Connection failed --When I try to use OCI.
Can someone shed some light on this issue.
Thanks,
Edited by: 950330 on Jan 21, 2013 11:17 AM

Use Call Interface: Default (OCI 10g/11g)
Data source Name->hostname:port/ServiceName or TNS name
like
localhost:1521/XE
make sure you able to ping connect the database using tnsentry or
tnsping <tnsname>
from command prompt.
Let me know for issues if helps pls mark

Importing Metadata into InDesignCS3

Hi all,
Does anyone know how I would go about importing specific fields of Metadata into InDesign at the same time I'm importing a graphic? For example, I have a n image of Ajax. In the 'description' metadata field I have ad copy associated with that image. When I import that image into InDesign, I'd like to import that copy as well.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

You should be able to use the "Create InDesign Contact Sheet"

Unable to import videos into iTunes library

For the past few week I have been unable to import videos from my computer into the iTunes library using either the drag and drop or import file methods. I am using the latest version of iTunes and a second generation iPod touch.
I have tried using file formats: wmv, av1, mpeg & mp.4 but all refuse to load into the library. To test I have changed a file name of a video that was successfully loaded into the library a while ago and this file also refuses to load. I have also used 'Smart FLV Converter' to convert the files to 'MP4 for iPod' and this converted file also cannot be imported. All of the files play OK from the desktop.
Any suggestions as to how to overcomne this problem would be appreciated

I don't know if this helps but my iTunes was crashing everytime I tried to add a file located in the "My videos" folder. I moved the files to "My Music" Folder and had no problems. Seems like a simple/stupid solution but it worked for me. I still don't know why it wasn't allowing me to do it in the first place.

The connection has failed while importing metadata in RPD

Hi All,
Recently I start creating a repository (OBIEE 11g client version 11.1.1.3.0) in offline mode and I want to import metadata which failed by the error ‘The connection has failed’..
Kind Regards,
Mohan

Hi Mohan,
Solution:
1.Copy the tnsnames.ora from Oracle Database home (ORACLE_HOME\NETWORK\ADMIN\) to the following locations.
* \OracleBI1\network\admin (Example: C:\OBI\Oracle_BI1\network\admin)
* \oracle_common\network\admin (Example: C:\OBI\oracle_common\network\admin)
2.Set the TNS_ADMIN environment variable value with one of the copied locations in the step 1 in user.cmd or http://user.sh file depending on your OS.
This file will be found under
\instances\instance1\bifoundation\OracleBIApplication\coreapplication\setup
(Example : C:\OBI\instances\instance2\bifoundation\OracleBIApplication\coreapplication\setup)
Thanks,
-Amith.

Unable to import jpegs into Library

HI all,
I hoping somenone has come across a similar issue and resolved it. When trying to import my jpegs from both my iphone and my digital camera the import runs but at the end when prompted to keep originals or remove a message box prompts with the folllowing:
Unreadable Files: 26
The following files could not be imported.(the Import failed)
Has anyone had this and resolved it. Its disastrous for me at the moment as i cannot back up all my photos of my new born girl.

TD
Thank you for your response, but unfortunately this did not help as i get the same issue as before - "The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognised file type or the files may not contain valid data)"
I now have another problem, where when i now open iPhoto it comes up with this message box:
25 photos were found in the iPhoto library that were not imported. Would you like to import them Yes or No.
if i click yes it tries to import them, shows the above error message again (files could not be imported etc) then creates an album titled recovered photo's with no pictures in it.It also actually downloads the photos to a file on the HD titled " iPhoto Library Recovered Photos"
If i click NO a message box appears stating " these photo's have been placed in folder xx/xx/xx etc titled " iPhoto Library Recovered Photos", so i now have 2 folders with the same pictures, but still unable to import. Plus i cannot stop iPhoto doing the above. every time i open it i get the above message and it creates a new recovered folder.
I am now worse off than when i started.
Help.
