Error with import BAR-File from OBIEE 12.2.1.0.0 to 12.2.1.2.0

Daniel Fischer

I'm facing an error by importing the BAR-File of Version 12.2.1.0.0 to 12.2.1.2.0 importing it with importserviceinstance().

It is no Linux machine, so I use the .cmd files like the wlst.cmd to export and import the BAR-File.

I'm using the guideline of this link Welcome to OBIEE12c - using BI Application Archive (BAR) files - Red Stack Tech

Export: exportServiceInstance(r'C:\DOMAIN_HOME','ssi',r'C:\WORK',r'C:\EXPORT','','','',true,'password')

So I used the option to export also all the user content by setting the second last to true.

Import: importServiceInstance(r'C:\DOMAIN_HOME','ssi',r'C:\EXPORT\ssi.bar',true,true,true,'password')

And here I set every option to true, to get everything (RPD, webcat, security Settings).

This is the error message prompted :

...

I've already checked the catalog manager logs, but this didn't help much to locate the problem.

Has anyone already faced the same error or has an idea how to solve this issue?
