Sample Sales Lite subject area's RPD

Sangeeta Pandey

Hello Experts,

I see some sample reports in Analytics like Sample Sales Lite subject area.

I guess these are linked to some XML based RPD, shipped with OBIEE 12c Installation.

Note sure where I can locate this (folder path)?

Thanks,

If you see that subject area in your browser, you can find it inside the RPD.

In 12c it isn't "just" a RPD anymore, it's a .bar file. Search your OBIEE install folder for .bar files and you will find the the sample one. But it isn't a RPD...

They pull their data from XML files which are used as a data source in the RPD.

This maybe isn't your exact path - mine comes from a full blown SampleApp.

Hi Sangeeta,

You can find it in ORACLE_HOME/bi/bifoundation/samples/sampleapplite

What I observed that once I deployed my own RPD , this Sample Sales Lite subject area got vanished:

Gianni Ceresa

True, because when you deploy your own RPD you replace the existing one.

If you want to keep both RPD you need to merge them or develop all your content inside the sample RPD.

Thanks Gianni, If I want to revert to previous state and want to get Sample Sales Lite subject area listed again I want to deploy the existing one. But existing one is .bar file and not .rpd file. Do I need to mention this .bar file in place of .rpd - in order to upload into server?

(read twice about the parameters and take backups before to execute if you can't afford to lose, by mistake, existing content)

Thanks Gianni,

I executed below command:

importarchive.cmd ssi "C:\obiee\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Home\bi\bifoundation\samples\sampleapplite\SampleAppLite.bar" encryptionpassword=xxxxxx

it got executed successfully, however I can not see SampleAppLite subject area listed again (screenshot is attached).

I guess I am missing some thing.

Hi Sangeeta,

Is the import successful?

From the above screenshot only preimport archive is completed.
