Hello, Does any one know why a date field keep disappearing from online RPD? we have added "Promised Date" to the RPD below in green box, after the RPD deployed, it is ok for a few days, but after a few day later, when we check the online RPD, the field disappeared, but then check the offline RPD, it is still there. so we re-deploy the RPD again, and it works for a few days, then disappeared again, this keeps repeating …. does any one know why? the same change has no issues in non-prod, only happened in PROD. this is OBIEE 11.1.1.9. appreciate your help! thanks!

    Hi,

    I never heard of the server modifying the RPD, except if it contains invalid pieces and therefore the server doesn't know what to do with it.

    Do you maybe have some processes in place that redeploy the RPD automatically or things (including people) like that? I would look in that direction to start with. You are using an extremely old version, it's maybe in place for so long that various automations and processes have been developed around it for management and deployments.

    I would have a few others ideas, but 11g is so old that I'm not sure anymore if I'm not mixing features of 11g and 12c in my mind…

    Could there be a developer who continues to modify and upload a local version without downloading from server in between?

    Thanks! the live-rpd still have the same timestamp that was deployed. but the time stamp for the *.rpd.SAV got changed, when we open the RPD in offline mode, the field is still in the RPD, but just can not see it in online-mode, we re-deploy the rpd, then it is visible again, no, the developer did not have access to the rpd. that is what they found the issues, they can not see it in the application after a few days of the deployment. thanks

    To, add, you can configure 'disallow RPD updates'
