    Thanks a lot Christian! for migrate OBIEE12 to linux, we just need to redeploy the rpd and catcalog from windows to linux since we have no customization involved correct?

    Thanks again

    Thanks a lot Gianni.

    We have actually opened p1 SR with oracle, but get nothing from them. we have many OBIA running on Linux for years,

    also have a few running on windows whih cause us nightmare, we want to migrate them to linux. how can we migrate catalog and rpd from windows to Linux?there are lot of reports, the catalog is very very big. archive report folders one by one? or there is much better tool to migrate them all at once?

    thanks again!

    You can take the BAR from your Windows and import it into your linux.

    You are right: the RPD doesn't have any platform specific references, the catalog neither (it all works in an abstraction layer on top of whatever file system you have).

    By using the BAR you also have some other pieces coming with.

    Just don't copy by hand the config files like nqsconfig.ini or instanceconfig.xml from Windows to linux as those can contains some file system paths which obviously would ned to be adjusted.

    Thanks a lot Gianni.

      "By using the BAR you also have some other pieces coming with." --> can you please explain how do you do 'using the BAR" ?

    Have a look at https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1221/biee/BIESG/configrepos.htm#BIESG2889

    And also https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocContentDisplay?id=2406648.1

    It gives you the commands to export / import in 12.2.1.4 (because they changed the filename over the 12c versions).

    As said, consider getting your system ready for the OAS 5.5.0 upgrade. For this make sure your domain folder is not inside the oracle home with the binaries. Keep them separate so that you can even do an in-place upgrade to OAS 5.5.0 easily.
