Upgrading Obiee 10g to 11g.

Hi Guru's,
I had upgraded one of the RPD/Catalog(which are in sync) from 10g to 11g with ua.bat utility. Upgrade successfully completed with out errors & warnings.
I logged on to the BI Answers and able to run/see the data in the existing reports.
Here the problem is i am not able to see the existing Dashboards of Shared folder. what might be the reason
Please help me in this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You mean images that we use in dashboards...If so in 10g its at this location C:\OracleBI\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\applications\analytics\analytics\res\s_oracle10\images
Check for the style folder you will have images in that folder.
You can find at this location...C:\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\web\app\res\s_blafp\images
Regards,
Srikanth

Can I install OBIEE 10g and 11g on the same machine?

While I'm waiting for new hardware, I wanted to get started on installing OBIEE 11g on my laptop. Can I do this if I already have 10g installed?
I want to make sure if I install it that it will not impact my current 10g setup. I'm not sure if it overrides certain files and folders or if I can do a separate installation to have both.

Hello everyone.
I have OBIEE 10g on my Production box pointing to the Oracle Database 11g R1 which is also having OWB integrated in it.
Now, I am planning to upgrade OBIEE 10g to 11g and Oracle Database from 11g R1 to 11g R2, so that OWB will also be upgarded, as it is integrated in 11gR2.
I am confused about, how to run RCU on the database, as OBIEE 10g schemas and packages will already be there in the database.
If I run RCU again, what will it do???
Has anyone done this before? or any good document available ?
Many Thanks,
Ahsan.

Challenges while Upgrading from OBIEE 10g to 11g

Hi Gurus,
This is Kiran again. This time I am back with the upgradation issues. We have a client which is currently on OBIEE 10g. All components are already configured in OBIEE 10g with client on RPD, Catalog and implemented all security levels for those.
Now the challenge is to upgrade all activities which we have configured in OBIEE 10g. I have seen lot of stuff online and understood how to upgrade from OBIEE 10g to OBIEE 11g by simply clicking on ua.bat file. But I am unable to understand the process how it is upgrading the securities and environments.
Can anyone help me out by providing necessary stuff I need to take care of before taking the decision to upgrade from OBIEE 10g to 11g.
And also please clear me whether we will have any challenges in upgrading process. If yes, then what kind of challenges we will face and what kind of necessary steps we need to implement to resolve it.
What kind of Architecture we need to follow?
How Schedulers will get upgraded?
Please help me out with your real experiences (Not the online websites). Your response will be highly appreciated and it will help lot of OBIEE professionals who are in the process of upgradation.
Thanks in Advance to all OBIEE GURUS.
Kiran

Hi Valli,

Requirement to upgrade OBIEE 10g on Windows to OBIEE 11g on Linux

Dear All,
I have a requirement to upgrade OBIEE 10g from current windows 2003 environment to OBIEE 11g Linux environment.
I went through forums and many threads on upgrade, everywhere they talk about Upgrade Assistant (UA). And oracle documentation says ,
+"Do not change from one platform or architecture to a different platform or architecture as part of the upgrade process.+
+For example, if the existing 10g system is running on a Windows 32-bit platform, do not install Oracle BI 11g on a Linux 64-bit platform and then run the Linux 64-bit Upgrade Assistant to upgrade the existing 10g system."+
But there would certainly be scenarios with other users the way I have. Then what is the way out to do this upgrade?
Can anyone give some advice on this. It is little urgent.
Thanking in advance.
Regards,
Deepika.

Thats are huge change in platform. win32 to linux 64.
Yet what we upgrade is only
catalog and rpd.
this might involve some manual change if UA cannot complete successfully.
Its better to do a prototype before the actual upgrade as recommended by Oracle. This will show what can the possible issues and road blocks.

EPMMaster.rpd Fusion Pack migration from OBIEE 10g to 11g

We have successfully installed OBIEE 10g and 11g on Windows 2008 32bit servers. On the 10g Installation, we have applied the Fusion Pack EPMMaster RPD file and it connects successfully to our EPM warehouse. We want to migrate the Fusion pack to 11g which is also setup on the same platform. Per the instructions in the documentation, we have copied the files (RPD file and Webcat folder) to the 11g server. We run the UA.bat file and it proceeds to start copying the files over fom the RPD and WebCatalog to the new system. It completes this process, but then hangs on starting the Oracle BI server - it never gets beyond that.
We will be purchasing the EPMMaster RPD and know it is not available yet for 11g – however we’re trying to get ahead of the curve a bit and manually fix the items in the presentation layer that will not render correctly in 11g
upgrade exception occurred
Unable to start process: instance1: coreapplication_obis1
One thing that I noticed – Since the UA tool does not completely finish --
RPD size on 10g – 42,675KB; 11g – 6,375KB
I manually change the webcat in Enterprise Manager to the EPMMaster catalog -this actually caused additional errors on restart.
Has anyone attempted upgrading a delivered RPD to 11g?
Thanks in advance -

This is a known issue that we have worked through with Oracle tech support. The Dimension Deduction.Deduction Sid causes an error that prevents the UA tool from completing the upgrade process. There are a couple of ways around this, but the fastest is to simply delete the Dimension, the two related hierarchies and the fact table that is joined to this dimension. Physical table do not need to be touched however. There are still issues once it’s moved to 11g, but those can be addressed post migration. Thanks much to the Oracle support team for helping us out with this issue!

Oracle Upgrade from 10g to 11g [BRANCHED BY MODERATOR]

Hi Deepak/Folks,
Another question that I have is that while doing the Oracle Upgrade on an EP server, the patches were not installed properly and I had to shut down the Patches installation after it did not do anything for a while.
Now when I try to install the patches it fails telling me that the Installed patches cannot be verified, I had written to SAP and they told me to follow the
SAP note 1862446 - Inventory
load failed... OPatch cannot load inventory for the given Oracle Home
and re-create the oracle inventory.
This has also not helped in anyway.
Is there a solution to this problem.
Following is the error that I am getting when I try to Install the patches

After Upgrade OBI 10g to 11g:Odbc driver returned an error - SQLExecDirectW

Hi all,
for an OBI upgrade from 10g to 11g I used a RPD and Webcatalog based on a remote machine other than my local machine. Firstable I am making the tests on a Linux Virtual machine, which uses the Sample Lite version from Oracle.
I made the following steps:
1. I upgraded the RPD and Webcatalog. It worked without any errors.
2. I set the static variable BI_EE_HOME via Administration Tool to the path in the Linux machine.
--> Here I am not sure if the set path is correct. It begins with: \bi\ ...\instances\...\coreapplication_obis1 (... : I can't mention here the whole path name).
--> When the OBI Server is installed in Windows, the mentioned static variable points to something like 'C:\<install folder>\...\coreapplication_obis1'
--> Question: is the begin of my set path correct?. I set that pointing to the Linux OBI Server, because the OBI Server is installed on Linux.
Problem:
After login as the user in RPD: Administrator/<Password for my upgraded RPD> I can see the links in the Catalog and the Dashboards links. But I can not see any values, any Reports when going through the links.
For example when trying to see a Dashboard with date 12.02.2011it happens:
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
Status: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] general error.
[nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS.
[nQSError: 43119] Query Failed:
[nQSError: 17001] 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)
SQL Issued: SELECT "Dimension_-_My Dimension"."MyDimension" saw_0 FROM "Accounting (ACC)" WHERE "Dimension_-_My Dimension"."MyDimension" LIKE 'J%' ORDER BY saw_0
I think its not retrieving the data from the remote database, because I don't have the data of the remote database in my local. I think the OBI Server still is pointing to the local virtual machine Oracle database.
Can anybody tell me what happens here and how can I solve this problem?.
I would appreciate any help....

Hi gerardnico,
I've tried many things and did as in your articles, but I don't have success with that.
These are the things I did:
1. I searched for the file tnsnames.ora in my Linux virtual machine. I could find it in many paths:
/.../Oracle_BI1/network/admin/samples/tnsnames.ora
/.../oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/hs/admin/tnsnames.ora.sample
/.../oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/admin/tnsnames.ora
/.../oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/admin/samples/tnsnames.ora
/.../oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/admin/temp/tnsnames.ora
/.../usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/admin
in the last path I found the listener.ora as well.
2. I took the tnsnames.ora from the last path, because the ORACLE_HOME points to /.../usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server
3. I edited the tnsnames.ora this way:
# tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File:
XE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = host_of_the_remote_machine)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = database_name_of_the_remote_machine)
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC_FOR_XE))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = database_SID_of_the_remote_machine)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
4. I made a backup of the tnsnames.ora in path /.../Oracle_BI1/network/admin/samples/tnsnames.ora
and copied the tnsnames.ora from /.../usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/admin to the Oracle_BI1 path
5. I set the TNS_ADMIN to /.../usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/admin
6. I restarted the BI Server
No success in what I did. The error is still there.
7. I've tried also: sqlplus database_user_remote_machine/database_password_remote_machine@database_SID_remote_machine
I didn't get the connection:
SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Thu Jun 16 04:36:10 2011
Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved.

Enter password:
ERROR:

Linux Error: 2: No such file or directory
What am I doing wrong here?. I am still thinking that I need the import of the database.
Additional SID=Service-Name=Database-name in the remote machine.

OBIEE 10g to 11g Upgrade Project plan

Hello All,
I am a technical consultant working on OBIEE/OBIA and the management needs a project plan for upgrading OBIEE suite 10g to OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.6).
Can you please share some details as -task list and approx hours required. I have a rough idea of task list in terms environment setup, installations, configuration, custom code migration, testing etc. I want present a professional plan that is being followed by others. Dont want to look odd one out. Your help is appriciated.
Thanks you !

See this in the log:
*02712: Expected oracle.biee.admin:type=BIDomain.BIInstance.ServerConfiguration,* Oracle instance, found 0*
You will have to look into why the upgrade utility isnt seeing any instance recognized - it will only work with 1 instance registered and for some reason it cant find any in your configuration.
You could try looking in Oracle® Fusion Middleware Error Messages Reference 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6.0) for details on the error.
Ensure the service instance name is present in jps-config.xml.

In upgrade of OBIEE 10g to 11g does one have to merge the RPD.

In Oracle's documentation they mentioned that the RPD and catalog need to be merged (Section 3.22 and 3.23) . However, i have successfully run upgrade assistant to upgrade the old catalog and rpd. Is there still a need to do the merges.

Upgrading from 10g to 11g

Hi,
Is it possible upgrade OBIEE version 10g to version 11g and keep the database versjon 10.2.0.3?
Basically does the upgrade (or version of OBIEE) depend on the version of the database?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Sailesh,
OBIEE 11g installation needs that Fusion Middleware Database schemas (BI_PLATFORM and BI_MDS in this case) are already created on a supported database by RCU. The supported Oracle databases for holding the schemas are like
"Oracle 10.2.0.4+
Oracle 11.1.0.7+
Oracle 11.2.0.1+"
Reference: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/fusion-certification-100350.html.
Section -> Additional Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.x) and 11g Release 2 (11.1.2.x) Certifications ->
System Requirements and Supported Platforms for Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition 11gR1
However, your datasource can still be 10.2.0.3 DB for the reports.
Hope this helps.
Thank you,
Dhar
