How BI Server Understand Conf Files

dilek

Hi,

I want to find instanceconfig.xml file in our obiee system (presentation server), however there are lots of instanceconfig.xml when I search the whole system. I want to find the correct version of that file. Is there a start file and written the path of conf files?

Regards,

Dilek

Check the file location ex: \OFM\instances\instance1\config\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreapplication_obips1

You may go with timestamp to identify OOB or modified xml file with other files' timestamps

Thx Shrini, but when I look at this path, yes there is an instanceconfig.xml file, but the parameters value is not same with the running system. :S

That is, <DefaultRowsDisplayedInDelivery> value is seen 75. But I can send agents with more than 75 rows. This file is not seen active file. So that I am asking this question. Also, there is a file called instanceconfig.xml.bak in this path. That file's parameters are more suitable. Is there a possibility that instanceconfig.xml.bak file is used for the running system?

Not necessarily. There are loads of parameter which are not controlled by EM at all but as it used to be by direct file modifications!

Also: The normal documentation does not cover all config tags in there. There are a lot more which aren't publicly documented and covered by MOS documents or the likes. All tags are defined in the xsd for the instanceconfig.xml.

You'll need to specify the version of OBIEE that you're running in order to be assisted as each major versions as its own path for the instanceconfig.xml file
