OBIEE 11.1.1.9.5 Catalog Manager does not open

user8286873

Hi,

I have installed OBIA Apps 11.1.1.10.1 and OBIEE 11.1.1.9.5 (patches applied) on Windows 2008 R2 Server (64-Bit) successfully.

I am trying to open the catalog manager from the following location -

C:\oracle\Middleware\instances\instance1\bifoundation\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreapplication_obips1\catalogmanager\runcat.bat

However nothing is happening and a file (file name is some number eg - 1457939961504 ) gets created in the same folder with the following msgs -

!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.runtime 4 0 2016-03-14 12:49:21.988

As per some other OTN posts, it was mentioned that the issue is with double quotes missing in the runcat.bat file and I tried following the steps mentioned in that post. However still I am facing the same issue.

Can anyone help me with this ?

Hi,

You mean this Catalog Manager here ?

Because if this is the one you try to run I'm not really sure if you are using the right way to run it ...

Your shortcut in the Windows menu must be something like ...\javaw.exe" -DnoJNI=true -jar startup.jar (for OBIEE 11.1.1.7 or 11.1.1.9, only in 12c it is something like ...\run_cat_man.bat )

Yes, the catalog manager as you have mentioned in the screenshot.

The shortcut in the windows menu shows -

Can you please tell me the right way to run it ? The OBIEE version is not 12c but OBIEE 11.1.1.9.5

I am able to open the Admin tool properly.

Well ... as your is the server install version not sure if it really works in a different way ( didn't installed OBIEE on a Windows server for 4-5 years ...).

My shortcut of the client only install is: "C:\Oracle\OBIEE 11.1.1.9 Plus Client Tools\jre\bin\javaw.exe" -DnoJNI=true -jar startup.jar

and it's started in : "C:\Oracle\OBIEE 11.1.1.9 Plus Client Tools/oraclebi/orahome/bifoundation/web/catalogmanager"

Do you have that "startup.jar" somewhere? Can you try to start it with this kind of commands (of course adapt the path to the OBIEE java according to your install.

Going by the error message, "com.siebel.analytics.web.catalogmanager_1.0.0.jar" file is missing. Do you have this file anywhere in your OBIEE folder?

This file should be there in \\OBIEE11g\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\web\catalogmanager\plugins . If its not present, whether all necessary patches have been applied after installation?

Hi,

I checked and the file com.siebel.analytics.web.catalogmanager_1.0.0.jar is there in the foler C:\oracle\Middleware\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\web\catalogmanager\plugins as you mentioned. Also the other file mentioned in the error message ie org.eclipse.core.runtime_3.4.0.v20080512 is present in the same folder

I have applied the following patches

• Patch 22061111 - Fusion Middleware bundle patch OBIEE 11g 11.1.1.9.0

• Patch pb4biapps_11.1.1.10.1_generic

• Patch pb4biapps_11.1.1.10.1_windows64

• Patch 21672441 – p21672441_111190_Generic

• Patch 21811403 – p21811403_111190_MSWIN-x86-64

Thanks
