I have installed OBIEE 12c 12.2.1.1.0 - Sample Application v607 in a virtual machine with 16 Gn of RAM and 4 processors.

with Analytics, work seamlessly on the data in the example.

La máquina anfitrion tiene Windows 10 32 Gb RAM I7 .

When I wanted to install the ORACLE BI administration tools I had the following problem

The ODBC driver works correctly when I run the TEST in the Windows data source configuration.

The BI cliente version is 12.2.1.3.0.

    1st: AdminTool is the same as the OBI version normally, so 12.2.1.3 is too new. Install 12.2.1.1

    2nd: Probably just a networking issue with your VM. What are you running? NAT? Bridged? Host-only?

    Edit: 3rd: Why ODBC and not OCI if you try to get to the DB?

  • As Christian said: use an AdminTool with the same version of your server (you can have multiple versions of AdminTool installed in parallel on your Windows because they are in different "home" folders.

    Your screenshot show like you wanted to create a new RPD, and you are in the step where, after creating it empty, you are supposed to select a first physical source to import (in general a DB).

    But apparently all you want to do is just to connect (and open) the current RPD deployed on the server (your virtual machine). For that you simply need to use "File > Open > Online" (or the 4th icon from the left, the blue one), and there the system shows you the existing ODBC connections you setup (the one you tested and worked) and prompt you for a username and password (your admin account in OBIEE). And done

    Thank you for your contribution.

    I changed the connection type from ODBC 3.5 to OCI 10g / 11g and I was able to move forward.

    Ok a) it would be nice if you marked answers as "Correct" or "Helpful" so that other forum users also benefit from what's written here. It's a participative forum.

    b) That doesn't eliminate the basic problem you're creating for yourself: Version mismatch! Your server will never be able to run an RPD created by an admin tool that's too advanced compared to the server.

    OK.

    I will continue testing the ODBC option and comment the results

    I'm not talking about ODBC. I'm talking about the fact that you are using a wrong version of the Admin Tool!
