where is the baseline validation tool?

Gianni Ceresa

You resurrected 3 old threads at least related to BVT.

BVT is gone, doesn’t exist anymore, it has been decommissioned and removed fully from everywhere.

It wasn’t built for an OBIEE to OAS upgraded, it was built to support a move to the cloud.

How did you validate your OBIEE upgrades so far? Do the same with OAS, because OAS is just OBIEE with a different name and a whole new piece (DV).

Thanks for the information, Gianni

We used BVT to compare reports against 11g and 12c during upgrade from 11g to 12c and now can we do the same - use BVT to compare OAS 7.0 analytics reports against OBIEE 12c?

Please help.

Did you try running BVT on OAS?

The BVT documentation said it didn’t support OAS. The tool isn’t much different, if it doesn’t work with OAS it’s probably because of a difference in the security (that can’t be changed in OAS).

It would be quite simple to fix the code of BVT, but the code isn’t available and Oracle owns a patent on it, making it illegal to mess around with that code (if you had it).

What can you do? The same thing that BVT does: it doesn’t do anything secret or special. It does run things and compare outputs. Command line tools still exists in OAS and works mainly in the same way. You could easily automate your own test suites.

I'll just chip in and say it's not officially supported. Not sure you'll get 100% what you had before.
