Baseline Validation Tool error

vkm

I'm trying to run Baseline Validation Tool to compare results before and after release.

I'm running into below error while running compareResults

\OBI12C\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Home12212\bi\components\oracle.bi.bvt\OracleBI-BVT>bin\obibvt -compareresults Results\PostRelease\ Results\PreRelease -config TestConfig.xml

unrecognized Option: -compareresults results\postrelease\

is there anything wrong with the syntax of my command?

Thanks,

Vaishali

Hi,

Your syntax seems fine ...

Just tested on one of my BVT results using:

bin\obibvt -compareresults Results\bvt_results Results\master_results -config config.xml

It just worked fine ...

Can you give it a try somewhere else downloading the BVT from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi/downloads/bi-bvt-download-3587672.html  ?

Thank you for the response @Gianni Ceresa

I downloaded the tool from the above link and tried running it. I ran into the same error again. The utility runs fine with -config option. The error only comes up for CompreResults option. Any pointers?

Thanks,

Nothing out of the box as it worked fine on my side when tested ...

Personally I would open the scripts and try to find out inside what happen and where ... but there is no guarantee of success but for sure you will "invest" time.

BVT always worked fine for me both on Windows and linux, but I admit I used it mainly on linux.

Try removing the end slash on Results\PostRelease\.

Thomas Dodds

that's the difference between what @Gianni Ceresa posted and what th OP has ... good eye!

I thought at that at the beginning but in my test (with or without final slash) it made no difference

And if that's the error the guy who coded BVT must definitely learn how to return smart error messages

Hi ,

my command was "obibvt.bat -compareresults Results\PrePatch Results\PostPatch -config testconfig.xml" and succesfully compared the results between environments.

There is only one difference from your command that slash characters at the end of PostRelease\ and PreRelease\.

As @3485869 said , remove slashes and then try again
