hi experts ,

I have upgraded from OBIEE 11G to OBIEE 12C and its working fine

But my customization which is in OBIEE 11G is missing in the OBIEE 12C

So is there a way I can migrate or apply the same customization to OBIEE 12C which is in my OBIEE 11G

Thanks

    I want to apply the same customization which is in  OBIEE 11G to OBIEE 12C not from dev to prod

    What is "customization" ?

    Is that a custom style?

    If it's custom style, custom messages etc. you have to do it manually, the migration script only works on the OBIEE content, not the custom look and feel.

    You can deploy custom style and/or skin in OBIEE 12c too or redo your customization if you have a list of the things you did (so you can maybe clean up things by doing from scratch).

    Of course it works well if you customized things in 11g following the good practices and not editing the core files directly.

    If you can provide more info about your "customization" (concretely what you are talking about) you will get eventually more details if not already covered.

    yes I mean custom style, custom messages etc and also I have not edited the core files but instead did customization through analyticsRes so I just want to use

    the same analyticsRes and Res in obiee 12c whatever I have used in obiee 11g

    Thanks

    Great to hear you did it the right way

    So it's easy: copy your analyticsRes over to the 12c server and deploy it, cross your fingers and ... it probably works already not too badly (as it's a different version there can be things missing or being a bit different, but there are chances 95% of the job will be done already).

    Follow "Approach 2" in Customizing the Oracle BI Web User Interface .

    If you need extra details (the doc skipped few steps) on how to deploy analyticsRes look at this: https://gianniceresa.com/2016/12/deploy-custom-folder-obiee-12c-analyticsres/

    this is very very helpful but please one more question

    what about the msgdb and res files

  • Gianni Ceresa

    If you do it the same way as 11g it's supposed to work.

    For sure the res (that's the one with the custom style inside, at least it's like that in mine), the msgdb I didn't test, so can't confirm 100%.

    What is your exact OBIEE version? 12.2.1.0.0 is bugged ...

    Did you configure the Presentation Service correctly? (with /res at the end of both the <URL> nodes?)

    Check https://gianniceresa.com/2017/02/obiee-12c-custom-style-using-shared-folder/  for all the details (wrote that one this weekend combining pieces of others and adding the extra config steps).
