Hi Venkat,

thanks for the reply, also could you please tell me how to remove all 5 OBIEE services entries from EM.

or will they get deleted directly when deleted Bi server2.

also you mentioned backup of OBIEE is it just RPD, catalog & configfiles or Total OBIEE folder.

Thanks in Advance

Stop server 1 and server 2 and start just server 1. Then go to console and delete bi_Server2 and change the RPD and catalog locations from shared folder to Local one on the server 1 (or) you can still user shared location up to you.

If it is 11g , it is straig forward to change the catalog location through em. If it is 12C you might need to edit bi-config.xml

Very important : Take a back up of OBIEE on both servers. Just incase you need to revert back.if something fails.

Thanks
