Hi all,

Playing with my first installation of 12.2.1.4.0 today and have attempted to copy a BAR file from another server running 12.2.1.3.0.
The export worked fine but when I attempted the import, I was met with the following error:

I've scoured the web for what the new API script might be but can't find anything relevant.
Any ideas?


Thanks in advance,
Adam

    Seen bug 27921011 on MOS? Although this is export and you are using import -> seems a bit similar.

    Good find! The reason I didn't encounter the error on export was because I ran the export on a 12.3 server. Seems they've deprecated wlst for an API they haven't documented. Typical.

    Speaking with Oracle rep and apparently import_bar.cmd in /bitools has replaced wlst.
    Unfortunately, it still doesn't work.

    Hi @Adam Wickes

    Is this of any use?

    Yep, good stuff there Joel.
    I've worked this one out actually with some help from the Oracle dev team.
    Will complete this thread with the solution on Monday when i'm in the office as it wasn't as simple as what that link has. (we needed to apply changes to the scripts themselves as well).

    Ok, so before using "export_service_instance.cmd" or "import_bar.cmd", we had to add the following line to the java call:

    -Doracle.bi.servicelcm.producthome=%PRODUCT_HOME%


    After adding that to the scripts, they worked as described in your linked website Joel.

    Hi all,

    we've installed obiee 12.2.1.4 on a new server. Then we exported a BAR file from the "old" 12.2.1.3 (with the security model) and we imported into the new version (12.2.1.4).

    The procedure says 'SUCCESS' but we aren't able to login with weblogic.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance.

    @Adam Wicks,

    Can you please confirm if the path of the below line modified is located in Oracle_Home\bi\modules\oracle.bi.servicelcm\scripts\import.bar.cmd?

    -Doracle.bi.servicelcm.producthome=%PRODUCT_HOME%

    Please advise.

    Thanks in advance.

    @Adam Wicks,

    The below line was added to the import.bar.cmd script located in Oracle_Home\bi\modules\oracle.bi.servicelcm\scripts\.

    I was able to execute the script successfully.

    Thanks Joel and Adam for your help.
