OBIEE 12.2.1.3.0 do not see create "new folder" option under "shared folders" of catalog

Hi Gurus,

i am on OBIEE 12.2.1.3.0 and signed into the analytics with a user ID which has BI Author, Consumer and Admin privileges.

When i tried to create a new folder under "shared folders" i don't see "new folder" option under the main "NEW" menu on the top. But i can see all other options like analytics and interactive reporting, data exploration and discovery, actionable intelligence, Performance management, Marketing etc.

But when i click on "My folders" and then select the main "NEW" menu on the top, i can see all choices including "new folder".

Please share any inputs.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

What is the history of that instance?

Is it a fresh install and you can't create a folder in a empty catalog? Or is that a migration?

Because it sounds like somebody set some weird permissions on the root of "Shared folder". Or maybe a misunderstanding of how inheritance of permissions works and set a "no access" there or something weird.

Hi Gianni,

Basically it is a fresh install, then i copied catalog PARTIALLY from production to this instance.

I copied only "shared" and "system" subfolders from the ROOT of production catalog, did not copy "users" subfolder into this instance.

But the user with which i logged into analytics is created in the new instance itself.

Thanks

This could explain why you don't have the right permissions anymore.

Copying things like that is a bit a cowboy-style way of doing things, which could generate this kind of issues.

Try to use Catalog Manager online or offline to set the right permissions on the "Shared folder".

+1 to Gianni. If you do things dirty then the result will most likely be unusable.
