How BI Server Understand Conf Files

Question

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

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

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.
