OBIEE 12c Sample App Lite xml file location

Question

Hi,

Does anyone know where the SampleApp Lite application xml file is located at for new OBIEE 12c installations?

If I go to the properties of the connection,

the Data Source Name is:  VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.SERVICEINSTANCEROOT)/data/SampleAppLite.

Since it's a new installation, I don't have any variables created and I couldn't find the variable it's referencing to figure out the location path.

You should find those files in this location:

$ORACLE_HOME/bi/bifoundation/server/samples/SampleAppLite/sample/SampleAppFiles/Data

where $ORACLE_HOME is the folder where you have all the binaries installed.

Worst case scenario, just run a find command to search for the files, for example: find -name "SAMP_OFFICES_D.xml"
