OBIEE 12C: JAR File Import Failed With an Exception Error: "'Plugin metadata -- oracle.bi.migration.

Question

As per the solution of the Doc ID 2201741.1, first clear the junk folders with (%,+) symbol. And then re-generate bundle jar file for obiee11g before migrating it to obiee12c.

We have three folder under root,

1. shared
2. system, and

3. users

Automatically if there is a space in the name of sub folders or reports inside above folders then those appears with %, + symbol.

Can you please let me know as per this DOC ID what exactly we need to clean before regenerating the obiee11g export bundle?

Thanks and regards,

Debasis

+1 spaces are perfectly normal, ok and supported.

All spaces in folder names become "+" signs in the file system. %2e being a dot "." for example and making the first Folder "00. VA Projects"

The OOTB appsand sampleapp/sampleapplite catalogs have spaces ... I don't think that is your issue ... there has to be special characters that are getting in the way ... if you think your shared folder is solid, try with that by itself ... it may be that a user has a weirdly named folder under their MyFolder ...

I have folders under shared folder named embedded charts. But If I open the catalog folder from installation then it shows as embedded+charts. Not sure if this is fine or it can create issue.
