I have OBIEE 12.2.1.4 and want to move content (bar file) OAS 5.5 new fresh install)

Tony_OAS_Apex_User

I am in the process of putting exported OBIEE 12.2.1.4 ((RED Hat)) bar file to fresh install OAS 5.5(RED Hat) .

This is not the same step of OBIEE to OAS migration right?

I am bit confused if I am going into the right path. I did read the migration documents.

But realized that it's not moving the content from OBIEE to OAS.

Am I wrong? any lead to get this done?

Thanks for your help~

What do you mean "it's not moving the content"? Nothing? Only parts? Do you get any error messages?

Please describe your issue more precisely.-

I completed the migration through OAS | DV |Console | Snapshots |restore bar files.

I couldn't see the data for analyses and dashboards as well as DV stuff and found out that I had to reconfigure Connection Pools for the RPD which I did. User contents were transferred without any problem.

Security was bit confusing. We used LDAP (Iplanet) and from EM console we couldn't see the entries from LDAP.

"Security was bit confusing. We used LDAP (Iplanet) and from EM console we couldn't see the entries from LDAP."

Setup is the same as in 12c so if you don't aren't able to use your LDAP already on the middleware, then you have an issue.

"found out that I had to reconfigure Connection Pools for the RPD which I did. User contents were transferred without any problem"

In general does that mean your issue is resolved now?

other than security (user/role/group setting ) it's very clean process for sure.

We did configured the LDAP connection before restore the bar file.

And also some DV console blocks disappeared after bar file export with weblogic login. i can't recall exact blocks remained. but all other configuration blocks were gone.

I found the solution from oracle support section .. I had to run sh script to show those missing parts.

Regarding "it's working as it should now.!"

Actually it did precisely what it was instructed to do after your BAR import. The BAR contains all you RPD, security and catalog. The import wipes out the vanilla configuration and puts in place exactly what's in the BAR file.

Thanks Christian.

I was blind sided by " what if" it doesn't work? what if the instruction didn't cover this and that~.

But after went through the process, it did work. Now, i have to figure out how to carry the created dates for folder/contents.

Since it marked on imported date/time.. I may dig little bit more on it.~

Thanks!
