BI Publisher - Unable to Save or Save As

Summary

Cannot save a Data Model - had to create DM from scratch.

Hello all.

My colleagues and I are still fairly new to Oracle and BI Publisher.

I was creating a data model and got called away from my desk before I could save it.

When I came back about 20 mins later, I could not Save or Save As my work.

I had to exit BIP then recreate my DM. I was able to save it to My Folders.

Is there a time out setting than can be changed to avoid this situation?

The DM was simple so recreating it was easy. However, if this had been a more complex DM, it could have been disastrous.

Thank you in advance.

It is probable that you were logged out due to a time-out. With regards to changing this the devil is in the detail of course.

What exact version are you running? And is this a standalone BIP or an integrated one inside a full OBIEE?

Hi, Christian.

Here is the version info I could find:

Oracle Business Intelligence 11.1.1.9.0 and Oracle Cloud Application 19B(11.13.19.04.0)

I believe we are running inside a full OBIEE.

It sounds like we need to save early and often.

Yes, then you will be running a fully integrated one.

So for the OBIEE side the change would be in the instanceconfig.xml:

For BIP it's a bit more complex:

Thank you for your time and information, Christian.

We really do appreciate it.

Best regards,

You're welcome. I've pretty much installed my couch in here ;-)
