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

    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?

    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.

    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
