MOD: moved from OBIEE

What do you mean ?

Gianni Ceresa

That you ask an OBIA question and therefore your thread has been moved from the OBIEE space to the OBIA space.

OBIEE is only one of the multiple components of your OBIA, therefore you will have better answers in the OBIA space than from people just thinking at OBIEE only.

no, it does not seems correct URL

but from OBIEE, is it supported to migrate OBIEE12.2.14 FROM WINDOWS TO Linux? thanks

From a pure OBIEE (not talking OBIA) point of view, yes.

OBIEE doesn't care much about what platform you run it on: Windows, AIX or linux works in the same way from an OBIEE point of view.

Some content is in a database, some other content is on the file system.

But even the file system content you don't "touch" it as files, you use OBIEE tools to archive, unarchive, import, export and manage.

You have OBIEE 12.2.1.4 with your OBIA 7.9.6.4, this is already an "out of place upgrade". You installed OBIEE 12c and deployed your OBIA content in it.

You could even deploy it on OAS 5.5.0 (would make sense if you move to linux to upgrade your 12.2.1.4 to OAS 5.5.0: it's a free upgrade with many benefits).

The issue with OBIA is that it's a package of many tools and products, that's what makes it a more complex question IMHO.

By applying some simple logic I would say:

Can OBIA 7.9.6.4 be installed on linux? Yes, some linux environments are certified.

This means that as long as you have a way to export settings/content from an environment and import in the new one, you can migrate.

But I can't tell you if there is a simple way of doing it (instead of recreating everything by hand from scratch in the new linux server) and if it's supported.

This is where other users of this OBIA space can maybe help.

OBIEE literaly doesn't care about the underlying OS. You can move its content from Windows to Linux and vice versa. As long as you set things up correctly (config) there isn't any difference.

If you mean the link for the OBIA forum it's

There is also if you have a valid support identified linked with your own Oracle account you are using to access this platform.

Your thread has been moved already to the OBIA space, nothing else to do on your side for this one.

Thanks, yes, the link does not seem for OBIA, we are very big client of oracle, unfortunately we can hardly get any issues resolved from their MOS, for so many years.
