Hi All,

I've upgraded my OBIEE 12c environment to the latest 12.2.1.1 version. All is working fine but when attempting to import a BAR file using the new "import_bar.cmd" the proces throws following error when trying to import the catalog:

I'm running the command as following:

     import_bar.cmd ssi /Oracle/Middleware12/ExportDir/20160712_103145/ssi.bar noauthorization

I've also tried the "old" way using WLST as following:

     wlst offline > importServiceInstance('D:/Oracle/Middleware12/user_projects/domains/bi_NEW','ssi','D:/Oracle/Middleware12/ExportDir/20160712_103145/ssi.bar',true,true,false,'PASSWORD')

Which is giving me the same result, but is working fine in my "old" 12c environment.

Is this a 12.2.1.1 "feature" or did anyone else managed to import a BAR file in the new OBI version? Thanks!

Regards, Machiel
