OAS Upgrade to 7.6, some Marketing Features are missing due to changed configuration structure

User_6WRYU

We have smoothly upgraded OBIEE to OAS 6.4.0 and 7.0.0 in past 2 years with approach - newly install OAS server and import ssi.bar from old version.

During upgrade to version 7.0.0, we have experienced issue "some Marketing features are missing" and resolved it according to Doc ID 2819817.1.https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocumentDisplay?_afrLoop=21068575205378&id=2819817.1&_afrWindowMode=0&_adf.ctrl-state=76h130yow_4

Now we use same approach to upgrade OAS from 7.0.0 to 7.6.0 , same issue occurs but the solution of Doc ID 2819817.1 doesn't work any more. The reason is OAS configuration structure has been changed:

OAS 7.0.0: /Oracle_Home/bi/bifoundation/web/display/deploymentprofiles/oas.properties

OAS 7.6.0: /Oracle_Home/bi/bifoundation/web/display/deploymentprofiles.File

Content of oas.properties is located in deploymentprofiles.File.

Example of missing marketing feature (Edit Segment —> Edit Filter )

We did following Try but it did not help anything.

1. Manually create ../deploymentprofiles/oas.properties like OAS 7.0.0, restart OAS server
2. change file's type from deploymentprofiles.File to deploymentprofiles.properties, restart all service from Enterprise Manager

Anyone has idea or same problem like this ?

Thanks and Best Regards

Hi @User_6WRYU ,

If the solution provided in the support note does not work, I would create a SR.

Please note that according to the documentation, Oracle Marketing Segmentation is planned for removal in Oracle Analytics Server 2025. I highly suggest to start thinking about alternative/equivalent features to replace it: https://docs.oracle.com/en/middleware/bi/analytics-server/whats-different-oas/index.html#GUID-C907A4B0-FAFD-4F54-905C-D6FCA519C262__FEATURES

Hi @Federico Venturin ,

thanks for your reply.

We already created a SR (SR 3-38535138231) and waiting for feedback from Oracle Support.

I found a workaround:

Edit "<DOMAIN_HOME>\config\fmwconfig\biconfig\OBIPS\incubation.properties, add oracle.bips.marketing.hosted=false, restart all obips server.

Now file incubation.properties contains:

oracle.bips.marketing.enabled=true

oracle.bips.auth.nextGenAuth=false

oracle.bips.marketing.hosted=false
