Oracle Bi Translation Tool

Question

Hi everyone:

I´m trying to use the Oracle Bi Translation Tool for a migration from BRIO to OBIEE 12c  in the first phase when I want to import the RPD the tool ask me for an user and password,

At the begining I thought it was the RPD´s password but It didn´t work, I don´t know wich user and password is requesting,

Could someone help me?

Thanks

Oh yes awesome that's just ectremely old and the access / encryption mechanism has completely been changed.

A "username" in 12c is available / request ONLY for online operations when you connect to an RPD that's currently running in a server instance.

Offline you only have an encryption password and that's it. So your tool is way too old to comprehend the "new way".

Since I assume that in the background it's nothing but a GUI on top of internal functions I would say try "" (empty string) as user name and then the RPD encryption password as password. That was how some old tools written for 11 or 10 could be coerced to function with12c

And there we go! We "smelled" this tool was part of the deal and finally it's really there.

I don't have that thing (and like Thomas I never wanted to use it), but it's a old thing.

That's supposed to be an OBIEE account allowed to open the RPD online I would say, it's the only place where there is a username as a RPD itself only has a password.
