Hi there,


I am having difficulty when trying to download the rpd file from my production server to import into UAT. When running the datamodel.cmd downloadrpd -O 'RPDNAME' -W 'RPDPASSWORD' -U 'USERNAME' -P 'PASSWORD' -SI ssi

I get the error after 30 seconds or so saying RPDNAME.rpd exists and -Y not given. Cannot Continue.

I am not sure what the -Y stands for and what may be causing this issue, no doubt it is some human error on my side but has anybody experienced this issue before and if so could you please share how you managed to workaround it?

Thanks a lot in advance.

    The downloadrpd command takes the following parameters (there is no -Y parameter in the list):

    downloadrpd -O RPDname [-W RPDpwd] -SI service_instance -U cred_username [-P cred_password] [-S hostname] [-N port_number] [-SSL] [-H]

    Where

    O specifies the name of the repository that you want to download.

    W specifies the password for the repository. If you do not supply the password, a prompt displays for the password when the command is run. For security purposes, Oracle recommends that you include a password in the command only if you are using automated scripting to run the command.

    SI specifies the name of the service instance.

    U specifies a valid user's name to be used for Oracle BI EE authentication.

    P specifies the password corresponding to the user's name that you specified for U. If you do not supply the password, a prompt displays for the password when the command is run.

    S specifies the Oracle BI EE host name. Only include this option when you are running the command from a client installation.

    N specifies the Oracle BI EE port number. Only include this option when you are running the command from a client installation.

    SSL specifies to use SSL to connect to the Oracle WebLogic Server to run the command. Only include this option when you are running the command from a client installation.

    H displays the usage information and exits the command. Use -H or run .sh without any parameters to display the help content.

    If you continue to face the error while attempting to download your RPD, please open SR with OBIEE Product Support team for further investigation and provide supporting screenshots.
