Automating Post Deployment Check of Dashboards and Prompts

Question

Hi Experts,

I am having 800 dashboards and prompts in OBIEE. Post Deployment ,we need to run each dashboard and prompt individually to ensure its not facing any error.

Is there any way I can automate the process so that after deployment we can avoid the manual work of executing each of them one by one?Any method will do other than using  third party software.

Please suggest.

I've used the BVT on OBIEE 11.1.1.7.x and it does work. BVT is definitely the tool you need to automate your regression testing.

I'm 99% sure the SampleApp scripts where already there for 11.1.1.7, you just need to find a old SampleApp to get the script (I guess the new ones doesn't work on .7 .

For BVT I also guess it works ... not officially but it can makes it ...

Did you try BVT? Got a error?

Officially it's for 11.1.1.9 but I heard of people running it on 11.1.1.7 as well ...

Hi Gianni,

Thanks for your helpful response.I tried with both the methods but since my OBIEE version is 11.1.1.7.140114 so its doesnot have the privilege of making use of these methods.Since its OBIEE production server, Iam not allowed to update the version too.Is there any way to achieve the regression testing for OBIEE version 11.1.1.7.140114 ?

Please suggest.
