oracle.bi.bar.si.exception.ServiceInstanceLifeCycleException: oracle.bi.bar.si.exception.ServiceInstanceLifeCycleException: BAR-00005

Things I tried ..

1) full set of 777 permission on working and exp dir.

2) BI_PRODUCT_HOME instance set to /oracle_home/bi

3) OBIEE 12c: Unable To Export or Import The BI Artifacts (Doc ID 2305246.1)  - to me its not at all relevant here in linux box at least.

3) and of course the usual bounce of service ..

What not done is these..

1) catalog manager log study

2)Opss table scrutiny

before that wanted to check with experts here !

Thanks again as always !!!
