BAR file import failing on OBIEE 12.2.1.2

OracleUser_MUC6U

Hi,

I've encountered an issue importing the BAR file to OBIEE version 12.2.1.2.0.  The BAR file was originally exported from the same release version (12.2.1.2.0).  The error reported is below:

I've seen a similar issue reported here https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocumentDisplay?_afrLoop=472462242794670&parent=EXTERNAL_SEARCH&sourceId=PROBLEM&… for 12.2.1.3,  but I've investigated the logs and there is no issues reported with the BI_PRODUCT_HOME. Anyone seen this issue before?

Thanks

a) Redo the export and make sure the BAR contains the jazn. You can easily do that with 7zip.

b) Have you tried importing with importJazn set to FALSE?

Hi Christian,

Double checked and the Jazn is there.  Yeah, I tried only importing the RPD so the Catalog and Jazn  was set as false and still same error.

I was able to complete the same import on another machine which is pretty much identical to the one the export was done on.  Thinking...., this particular instance has a slightly different setup in that its not using the same default ports and has a different directory structure to the instance the export was performed on.  Could this somehow affect the import....?

Thanks!

It really shouldn't since a BAR file is supposed to just move RPD, WebCat and security - and that machine-independent.

Then again...if all of a sudden there was some blocking fact around that I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest
