WORKAROUND

I always created 2 ENV VARS

ARBORPATH=c:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Home\bi\clients\Essbase\EssbaseRTC

ESSBASEPATH=c:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Home\bi\clients\Essbase\EssbaseRTC

or

ARBORPATH=c:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient

ESSBASEPATH=c:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient

I always added to Path path to appropriate client bin folder

I always added

set ARBORPATH=...

set ESSBASEPATH=...

to c:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Home\bi\bifoundation\server\bin\admintool.cmd

I  really dont understand what should i do

Example of Error In admin tool log

    What are the exact settings in the RPD? Which version did you put there in the metadata? Sometimes it is sufficient to change that to remove all errors. Maybe it's just using the wrong commands based on the version selection.

    What kind of settings in the RPD do you mean?

    "Which version did you put there in the metadata?"

    And what is the metadata version you are talking about?

  • Hi,

    You get those messages when running the import metadata wizard, right?

    Did anybody connect to any Essbase Server via Bi Admin Tool  (may be to embedded essbase 12) from obiee 12c(12.2.1.3 or 12.2.1.4)?

    May it is described in any Oracle Official Docs?

    In 12.2.1.3 and 12.2.1.4 versions of BI importing Essbase cubes doesnt work (for me) by default or with my workarounds.

    In 12.2.1.2 (after applying some patches(not for essbase just for BI working and starting with no issues)) it works by default.

    I wont close this topic in case of anybody will be able to import Essbase cube into BI repository

    Even we are having the same issue.

    In 12.2.1.4 versions of BI importing Essbase cubes doesn't work by default.

    Has anyone able to connect and be successful.

    Did you open an SR for this?

    We opened the SR and waiting for oracle to respond.

    As per Oracle SR, Solution is to use OBIEE 12.2.1.3 Admin Tool as OBIEE 12.2.1.4 Admin tool is not certified with imports from Essbase Version 11.1.2.4.X per Per BUG 27376664 and certification Doc ID 1109260.1
