Hi,
The OCI error clearly states database connectivity problem. Are you using OCI in OBIEE RPD to connect to your database ? If so, check your tns entries and make sure you can establish a successful connection to the database from the OBIEE server.

PEBOAD - Problem Exists Between OBI And Database ;-)
No OBIEE issue. Your BI server can simply not talk to the database / database server. Can ping the database server? Can you tnsping the Oracle DB you're trying to access? Since you're using OCI this definitely must work.

yes, i could ping the server.
the tnsping is also working. i could connect to bi admin tool with the same database string, in my case, it is PDBORCL.
i dont know how to fix it.
Please guide further.
Regards.

That doesn't make sense . Are you using variables in the connection pool and you're all of a sudden connecting with a different username/password?

i myself is wondered. why it is happening. may be i do some mistake in installing the OBIEE 12C. may be i never configure the tnsnames.ora files in OBIEE installation directory. but i could connect using the bi admin tool. when it comes to analysis, i cant connect.
Regards

Because the Admin Tool installation is technically a standalone implementation, it comes with its own tnsnames file which is independent of the file used by OBIEE itself.
The Admin tool uses its own tnsnames file.
ADMIN_TOOL_HOME/network/admin
For connections to data sources used in OBIEE, the file should be located at
DOMAIN_HOME}/config/fmwconfig/bienv/core
