Hi Christian, Sorry, just a side track. What OS are you running in your VMs? Linux, AIX, Windows? Did you use the default JVM settings for node manager, admin server, and managed servers?

We installed our DEV environment on 02/10/2017. It has 12GB of RAM and the JVM are 2GB for Node Manager, Managed Server, & Admin Server. I see the insufficient memory errors in the NodeManager.log on 03/17, 04/01-04, 04/16-17. I am the only user and I don't do much here. The errors show up all varying times. We installed…

nope, I don't see it in our environments. that's all i see under ..../bi/bidata/service_instances/ssi/metadata/datamodel/customizations

Hi, You are right, you can't use LDAP users to do the upload RPD. I tried it and it failed with similar error. I had to use "weblogic" or another local admin user I created manually. Try put your DefaultAuthenticator first to see if it makes any differences.

Hi Christian, Is the "metadataUpdateDefault_diff.xml" located in the same directory as the liverpd.rpd? I don't recall seeing it there...

Hi Gianni, I have a follow up question. Do you know why when I stop just the BI Presentation Service, the Analytics page won't serve up? I'd think the Presentation Service won't affect loading of the Analytics page since that is running on bi_server1. 

Hi Gianni, Many thanks for your detailed insights. It's easier to understand than the Oracle Documentation (which I have read first). If my understanding is correct, the managed server (bi_server1) serves up the application pages (Analytics, BI Publisher) and the 5 BI processes does the actual work of processing requests…

Hi, See if this post helps: 12c - upload/download rpd

Hi, What exact version are you using? Did you restart your BI services as FTisiot suggested and see if all the services are running? FYI, the error, "The connection with Cluster Controller ::ffff: <IPAddress>:63633 was lost." is a defect according to Oracle Support. They said to ignore it. 

It was set to 0.

For example?

why not use the Analytics page to do what Catalog Manager does?

So your LDAP users are in the BIGroups? Did you add the groups to your application roles?

Hi Christian, I read this in section 2.2.5 "Tune LibOVD searches" of the OBIEE 12c Best Practics Guide for Infrastructure Tuning: LibOVD is a java library providing virtualization capabilities over LDAP authentication providers in Oracle Fusion Middleware. LibOVD is activated when you set the property virtualize=true for…

Hi Christian, Yes, I think he meant remove it from the application policy. What I meant is in my application policy, I'm not able to remove it because the Delete button is disabled. I'm logged in as "weblogic". So I was curious how he was able to do it.

Hi, I faced a similar error after setting up LDAP with Active Directory. It my case, it was what my Analytics username is. I thought I would be able to log in as "jdoe", but received the "invalid user and password" error. Then I tried logging in as "John Doe" and it worked! Since our users log into their workstations with…

Hi, How were you able to delete the va.author permission? When I access the application policies in Enterprise Manager, the Delete button is disabled for me. 

I'm using 12.2.1.2 and I don't need to add the -D to my upload command. Does anyone why some people need it and some don't?

Hi FTisiot, Based on my Diagram above, this is my BMM: DATE ORDER_DETAIL ORDER_SUMMARY PRODUCT Each logical table has one LTS. From your initial post, I did the re-ordering to: DATE ORDER_SUMMARY ORDER_SUMMARY_DETAIL PRODUCT That didn't make any difference to join used in the query. Then, I updated the priority group: DATE…

Hi Gianni, We are using 12c. Maybe I misunderstood the re-ordering suggestion. Are you referring re-ordering multiple LTS inside the "Sources" folder?
