Quite sure that nowhere it's said that 11g and 12c needs to be up at the same time. So nothing prevent you from using the same ports if that's your wish. Here it's where a proxy in front OBIEE is handy: it allows a nicer URL (without ports), to manage multiple backends on different ports, to easily set maintenance windows…

Just look in the official documentation, everything is written there ... http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?ctx=bi122140&id=OBIUP-GUID-D0867450-1AEF-43DE-8144-7816F7105CB1

You can't. Agents are part of the catalog, therefore they will be there if you have the catalog in your BAR and you deploy it. All the agents will always be deployed disabled, that's how it works. https://gianniceresa.com/2017/03/scripts-to-use-agents-in-obiee-12c-mass-enabling-and-execution-from-a-page/ PS: it's a…

Hi, Honestly I believe the hierarchy is acting fairly right in counting the manager himself in the headcount of the level, at least from a logic point of view. Does the total at each level really include the parent or just include the level itself? Sure you could have a "dirty" approach of adding by default a " -1 " after…

As Joel said, I never heard anything related to that. The authentication logic doesn't really check existing sessions as the concept of "session" itself could be quite relative and not so easy to define. Therefore it doesn't prevent to use the same login if somebody else with that login is connected. As a workaround to…

https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/e10417.pdf Just keep in mind OBIEE 10g is very very very ... very old ! Therefore you can't expect it to work perfectly on new browsers, the certifications covers minimal versions and the "+" generally means up to the existing version when writing/publishing them. From a…

What about asking the SMTP server admins to look at what they see on their side?

Hi, I assume you have an analysis (a report is a BI Publisher report). A narrative view in an analysis is a fairly basic view which doesn't support any logic by itself as it's supposed to only have "text" inside. Do you 'just' need to change a title or something like that in your narrative or "Previous day", "Week to date"…

Hi, Move it, that list is generated from a list of dashboard being in default locations, if you move it away in another place in the catalog it isn't in the list anymore.

As already said be Joel above, your price will be different of what you see on the list price. In more than 10 years I never meet anyone who paid the list price for OBIEE/OBIA. And it isn't really a "yearly license" : these products generally come with an initial price to buy the licenses you need, then you pay support on…

It looks like they don't update the version in the front-end all the time based on the bundle patch you apply. With 12c there are many patches which just never change the number there and generating tons of questions if the patch is applied or not. The official answer is what Joel said: opatch is the way to know which…

I have the impression "Standard Edition" isn't a thing anymore ... This was the one existing: https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-foundation/standard-edition-one-095406.html It really comes with products which don't exist anymore (in an actively supported way), therefore I would assume the product doesn't…

I would try to take an approach being not too tightly coupled with your current environment as you never know what the future looks like. Keep the unix scripting (with file system access to the OBIEE catalog objects) as plan B, and focus on using the OBIEE webservices for the catalog first. This way you could run your code…

I would say that the custom label being an optional information which can be different view by view in a unique analysis, you can't expect it as an option to select in the catalog report screen. You can get it from the XML of the analysis itself, you can easily parse it and extract the custom heading at the analysis level…

Can't help you not having an OAC available

Hi, You could easily find out the new CSS selector to hide the apply buttons by using your Chrome or Firefox: open the "Developer tools" extension and use the functionality to select an element in the current page to pick the buttons and see what kind of common and unique class they have. It isn't any black magic, just…

In SampleApp 607 (https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-foundation/obiee-samples-167534.html ) there is an example of that. I don't remember the details (did that some years ago), but it was either an "UPDATE" statement run against the cube or a calc script doing the job. Look there into the VM, there must be an…

As far as I know DVD doesn't update automatically, it notify about the existence of an update at the best. "it appears to be" : it is or it isn't And could be something to explore if you really uninstalled it fully or left things around and therefore the old version is using new files etc.

You are welcome. A last step: close the thread. For now it's still "This question is Not Answered." ...

Go on https://edelivery.oracle.com/ , search for "Oracle Data Visualization Desktop 12c", pick your version, add to cart and follow the steps (select OS etc.).
