OBIEE 12.2.1.4.0 unable to create new repository using admin tool -- NEXT button is greyed out

User_INLWQ

Hi Gurus,

I am just trying to create a new repository, gave a name, valid password, left "import metadata" to YES and location as default,,    once filling all the details the NEXT button is still greyed out.  I can't proceed further.

This is totally weird. Please suggest what might be causing this behaviour.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Gurus.

Any my inputs on this ? 

Thanks.

Because as soon as you choose "No" for "Import Metadata" the "Next" button becomes irrelevant and all you need to do is say "Finished".

Hi Chris,

I did select YES for "import metadata", then only "cancel" button is active and remaining 3 buttons are greyed out.

Same behaviour when i set "import metadata" to NO.

Thanks.

Where are you runnign the admin tool? On a client? On the server? Which host OS?

Also: Screenshot!

Its remote Windows Server 2012R2.

Admin tool version 12.2.1.4.0

Is that "Location" really a valid path? Because it won't work if the path isn't accessible for writing...

User_INLWQ

Yes it is. Below is the folder structure i see in that path. (i have the Admin tool installed on my local and the folders match with those i see on this remote server)

Admin tool on my local is working fine.

And can you write in to that directory? Or is it read-only.

User_INLWQ

I right clicked, selected "properties" and i see "read only" checked in both my local and this remote server.

Below is remote server

Below is local

Can you create a new file inside that folder?
