You are having a database issue, not an OBIEE issue: ORA-12170: TNS:Connect timeout occurred Your database can't be reached from the OBIEE server with the parameters your provided. When you import tables in the RPD, this is done on the client on which you work. If your client knows where to find the database you defined it…

Following a blog post is ok, but doesn't mean you can't have a look at the official documentation. The first step ever is to look at system requirements, that's the same for any kind of app you try to install on your system. (Would you download MicrosoftExcelInstaller.exe on linux and ask on the Microsoft forum why you…

Ok, not even going to go any further. You decided to skip the first step of any Oracle install, find out what are the requirements !!!! Platform: Microsoft Windows 8 Professional Where did you see that OBIEE 12c is supposed to work on a Windows 8 Pro ? OBIEE is a server application, I never saw a single server run on…

Could you at least post some details of the environment and context? Exact version of OBIEE, OS version and details. Details about the environment and the history, where does it come from, what changed between last time it worked and now etc.

Would you mind to post a screenshot of your join(s) in the RPD? Because joins can be defined in various places and they mean different things, so by "join in the RPD" it's a bit too generic. And although OBIEE can change joins a little to improve queries, it would never really exchange 2 joins without a reason.

So, as Joel started pointing out, you ask the wrong question. You don't want to know how to start OBIPS, you want to know why it doesn't start. Do as Joel said: open the logs and find the reason there inside.

<domain home>/bitools/bin/start.sh -i obips1 start.cmd if on Windows

And how and where are you trying to display them?

You can display a message if your pie chart has negative figures. Of course a negative value there isn't supposed to exist ad this means you have data quality issues, but using conditions on sections you can display a custom message instead of the default one. The default one can probably be customized as it's supposed…

Hi, Not talking about the choice of IE because it isn't the topic (although Microsoft itself said to leave IE and move to Edge), you have to post some more details as at the moment no answer is possible. OBIEE target isn't to display images by default, so you will have to provide details of what images, where they are…

So good luck in finding that "ghost" target of the shortcuts With some luck it's in one of the environments still. Just a hint: if you find it, get rid of the shortcuts and put the object (the dashboard page) there directly, even if you have to duplicated it once in the shared folder and once in the user folder. So next…

So, in the user folder the page is apparently missing, which would make sense based on the message you first posted "Target path not found .../Activity Summary". What is fun is that in this folder too it looks like there is a shortcut: "activity.atr" As you aren't the user owner of this folder, you can find out where…

It's there the 5th page, it's the shortcut. "activity.atr" represent your shortcut and, based on your very first posted picture, the "Activity" shortcut points to a thing called "Activity - Summary".

It can be the shortcut point to something which doesn't exist or permissions as well : if you don't have the right permissions you can't "see" that object representing the page.

Instead of doing things properly you can "cheat" and use a dirty quick-win by setting up a shortcut. It's like…

Hi, Would be easier seeing the environment to figure out "who is what" The objects you are migrating between environments, are they shared (in shared folders) or private objects (in your own personal folder) ? Just from the message looks like it was using a shortcut pointing somewhere else in the catalog (which already is…

As there is no explicit reference to any tool/version the reply will be fairly generic too. You are saying your prompts are slow because of views: did you build a time profile to clearly identify what takes time? Assuming it's because of views, to make it "faster" (it's all relative and by far not a universal solution)…

It isn't me suggesting to go directly to 12.2.1.4 with the last bundle patch but Oracle Have a look at https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocContentDisplay?id=2070465.1 , it will always list the most recent bundle patches with also a reminder of end of support dates etc. There isn't a thing like the most common issues…
