Yes, it looks like all the shortcuts in his "Start menu". As said the naming is set by hand as the installed will use standard names all the time for the shortcuts itself. So you rename them to make it more obvious and quicker.

The folder in the Start menu I can't remember if they end up in the same, I would say no (as far as I remember there is a different name). I personally then change these folders to give them a short and more explicit name with the version clearly visible (and also rename shortcuts to have versions in all the names so I can…

Hi, Just install them in 2 different folders 12c has a totally different structure and also names the ODBC driver differently than 11g, so no issues. 12c is even nice enough to make multiple installs (12.2.1.0.0, 12.2.1.1.0, 12.2.1.2.0) next to each other without overriding anything (while 11g was overriding the driver…

Moving to RHEL is a good move (lately all the people having a Windows server in front of them doing an 11g to 12c upgrade are really thinking to install a linux VM hidden somewhere ). Good thing you could test the LSQL directly : so Presentation service is out of the loop, the issue is between BI Server and the data…

I'm not officially on Christian's laptop (at least he isn't aware of that, so don't tell him ) but I bet on OEL most of the time. For example SampleApp use OEL6.x (can't remember the exact update, one of the latest). I had many VMs on OEL7 as well with 10Gb of RAM which works fine and never changed a single setting. Clean…

Sherry George pointed you to the most common reason when not seeing bug descriptions. You do not have to care about these things as you probably wasn't affected by that issue (as they are related to SR etc.).

The good thing is we never heard about that and also don't remember I saw somebody else asking for that on here. So it smells a lot like a one-time issue (so only on one server for ... no idea which reason). As you explored quite few options around RPD etc. I would leave that one as possible source of problems as secondary…

Well ... good question Based on https://community.oracle.com/docs/DOC-891037#jive_content_id_1322_Helpful_and_Correct_ you are supposed to see a link/button below each reply in the thread. So if you go where you have the one from Sherry George which represent the correct answer you click on that button/link and so his…

Hi, You got the answer to your needs by @Sherry George above but as you seem a bit confused on what tool you are using I guess it's worth replacing pieces correctly in their context (as it will make things easier both for you asking things or others understanding what you ask). user630977 wrote:In OBIEE you can design…

A long thread going in many directions so I missed a point but ... The issue is that an agent has a static list of defined recipients, and that agent is set to run as these recipients. The problem being that if one of these recipients is disabled in MSAD then the agent fail. Right? I maybe missed a thing but sounds…

So you have an upgrade 11g to 12c where the existing analysis randomly (so not all the time) have one of the columns being empty. For the same analysis once it works fine, once column A is empty, once column B is empty and so on, right? What's the status of cache? Do you have that also with newly created analysis? As you…

Hi, Didn't read fully the "doc" screenshot as it's just impossible to read (too small). But few points that can maybe help you: nowhere is written than OBIEE 12c require 3Gb for AdminServer and 3Gb for the managed server. What you posted is a generic rule for FMW, but OBIEE is a bit more than just FWM, it's actually a lot…

Of course you can ... by hand! Just making sure to remember to merge all of them before to deploy the RPD. You can perfectly automate these steps and so end up with "virtually" multiple RPD on your OBIEE server.

I must admit I first wrote "... and I will have to ping @Christian Berg to come sharing his advises on caching" right next to "use the BI cache for improved perf", but I thought to not leave you out of the loop for once Well ... didn't worked, you saw the thread

If you google for it you must find WLST scripts around for that kind of work (WLST = weblogic scripting tool). It allow you to automate what you can do in the GUI and a lot more. It also depends if you had embedded LDAP users mapped directly to app roles or users were part of groups which were then mapped to roles. If the…

Let me answer you with a question: when are your 500 users going to be on your obiee? And what are they going to do exactly? Because 500 concurrent users running heavy dashboard (containing many heavy analysis) is different than 500 users in total with a maximum of 5 concurrent users looking at dashboard consisting in a…

It's always better to work without cache as cache often bring more hidden issues than the advantages you can easily see. And never ever say out loud "I wanted to use the BI cache for improved perf" That's one of the best "worst practice" in OBIEE: people enabling cache hoping to solve poor performance without taking into…

What is the DB? Oracle? Is the system a fresh upgrade or something you are upgrading or it's there and running for ages? Are all the settings of the DB in the physical layer the best matching options with your real DB? Between different versions it's totally possible to have different behaviour in the way the queries are…

So what are you exactly asking? If you are going through the doc you find everything written there ...
