.bar file export and import, rpd issue

Question

Hi All,

I am moving data from a development OBIEE 12c system to a QA OBIEE 12c system. I am trying to export the .BAR from the development system and move it into the QA system. The catalog makes it over when I do the import, but the RPD moves over as blank. When I access it with the admin tool, nothing is populated, all three panes are just empy and white.

Here is my export command:

exportServiceInstance('/app/oracle/biee/user_projects/domains/bi','ssi','/app/oracle/migration/workDir','/app/oracle/migration/exportDir','','','',true,'Admin123')

and import command:

importServiceInstance('/app/oracle/biee/user_projects/domains/bi','ssi','/app/oracle/migration/importDir/ssi.bar',true,true,true,'Admin123')

Can someone help me get this going, I am stuck without the RPD importing properly.

Thanks,

Jon

No luck! Even though its there, and even with a simple import command it doesn't bring it over properly - i wonder if I should try and specific application name

It looks like the the rpd is under that directory when I unzip it. There is a 2kb liverpd.rpd but there is a larger liverpd_17.rpd which is consistent with the size of the rpd that I just downloaded using data-model-cmd.sh downloadrpd

Seems like the issue is happening upon import then, I'll try the bare minimum on import now.

What happens if you run the import with just default values? i.e.

importServiceInstance('/app/oracle/biee/user_projects/domains/bi','ssi','/app/oracle/migration/importDir/ssi.bar')

If you unzip the .bar file, do you see content in the resulting datamodel folder?
