Hi Gurus,

We are on 12.2.1.3 on windows server 2016. Recently i built another obiee 12.2.1.3 but this time on Red hat linux 7.

Initially i took a BAR export from the live env of obiee (windows server one), then imported that BAR into the new env (RHEL).

After setting up ODBC connections and tried running few reports i realized database passwords in connection pool should be different (eventhough i took BAR export from PROD, we wish to point this new env to TEST env data sources). So i manually updated passwords in connection pools and now when i try running the "upload RPD" command, i am getting below message.

*******************************************************************************

usage: uploadrpd -I <RPD filename> [-W <RPD password>] [ -V enable validation of rpd] [-D] [-KG <groups>] [-RG <groups>] -U <cred user> [-P <cred password>] [-SI <service instance>] [-S <host>] [-N <port>] [-SSL] [-TS trustStore jks filename] [-TSP trust store password]


Options for removing existing customization groups on the server:

-D          : Remove all customization groups.

-D -KG group1,group2 : Remove all customization groups exception of group1 and group2.

-D -RG group1,group2 : Remove group1 and group2 but keep all others.

**********************************************************************************

The command i am running is a simple one: ./datamodel.sh uploadrpd -I (rpd name) -U weblogic -P weblogicpassword -SI ssi.

When i run this command on windows (ofcourse its datamodel.cmd 😊), i will be prompted for RPD password and once entered i get the message "RPD upload successfull". But here i am getting the above message.

Please advice how to proceed with that "customization groups" in the command. Should i delete all ? keep some ? how ??


Thanks in advance..

    In various versions there was that "-D" magic parameter (that wasn't explained at all) that was suggested if the command without didn't work.

    Did you try adding -D to your command and run that?

    Hi Gianni,

    As mentioned in my question, both OBIEE versions (windows server, Linux) are 12.2.1.3.

    On windows one, i can run the command without "-D" and upload RPD successfully where as the Linux one expects that.

    I can add that "-D" to the command on Linux and run but my concern is those "customization groups" have anything to do with other security stuff (App Roles, users, groups and their permissions on objects/data) because "-D" means "remove all customization groups"

    Thanks.

    I haven't used 12.2.1.3 in about 5 years but the customization groups were basically a temporary switch that was later dropped again. So it should have zero impact for you at all. Just run it and check the result. Takes 2 minutes and you don't destroy anything anyways since you can always back stuff up.
