Stop being me: I'm generally the one writing lot of blabla and getting the "right answer" and you writing just few words. In this thread we apparently switched, I better go back to my previous role

1. isn't a solution as the logical model needs to be a perfect start, so no snowflake allowed there ... You can also use solution 1/2: Fact table -> Vehicles Fact table -> Vehicles User Fact table -> Vehicles K Group Fact table -> Vehicles R Group (remember here it's a logical view, so the source of each dim will actually…

I believe OBIA comes with Weblogic 10.3.6 (or a number not too far) by default and that's the main weblogic. If you want to use OBIEE 12c you…

Hi, You mix lot of different products ... OBIEE doesn't have and will never have a certification with ODI as the 2 tools don't share anything. The key element which contains both OBIEE and ODI is OBIA. OBIA so far is only ODI 11g, while for OBIEE you get 11g out of the fox and you can upgrade it to 12c. You can't use ODI…

I will be a bit less categorical than Christian ... Official by XML Search and Replace no. But ... you can always do a string working on the file system files containing the XML .... Just remember it's up to you to make sure you aren't going to destroy the catalog and you actually don't break the XML inside objects.…

Can you close the thread by marking answers as required? So far it's still This question is Not Answered.

Well, depends on your whole security model. Do not believe OBIEE security is just few clicks adding people here or there, you have to plan it and design it based on your business needs. So the answer can be Yes or No depending on how does your full security model looks like. I personally always remove 'authenticated user'…

Hi guess by default "authenticated user" (the application role representing all the users successfully authenticated) is member of "BI Consumer", so by adding "BI Consumer" to your 2 roles you are actually adding these 2 roles to everybody because of the inheritance between "BI Consumer" and "authenticated users".

Why don't you try to look into that and fix this one instead of looking to manage your users inside the embedded LDAP? It's really not the best way for real (prod)…

Depends ... If you have the lightweight SSO login page (the one of the blog) the changes must be done inside the login page WAR/EAR directly as it's totally outside OBIEE and so can't be affected by your custom style. Keep in mind that so far it's maybe not totally supported, didn't check if Oracle wrote about it... If you…

Yes as long as in all the nodes it is available on the same path (to avoid issues). So if it's in a shared folder mounted in all the nodes in the same way you will be fine...

Hi, You look for hardware configuration or software configuration? For the software side when you run the installer it does its own checks and tell you what it doesn't like. Often to keep the install simple you install the "oracle-rdbms-server-12cR1-preinstall" package via yum (assuming you are on a OL or similar system)…

I have the same impression as Christian: saw something connected to that somewhere in MOS but can't remember where, when, what ... Would have to search and be optimistic to find it again ...

Hi, Yes, you are missing enough info to be able to give you an answer You need to give more details to expect an answer which could make sense and not random guesses of what you maybe did or not ... By the way: do we agree your Windows is a supported version and not your laptop's Windows 7 or 10, right?

So why did you flagged things as correct? This mark the thread as "nothing to see here anymore, all done", so if it isn't fixed remove the correct answer and explain what went wrong and where. Rohit Trehan wrote:...it gave errors. This just doesn't mean anything...

Good luck, remember to come back posting a feedback if you actually solved the thing (and with some hints on how if in a different way for others with similar needs) and then close the thread.

Let them save in their personal folder for their debugging needs or give them a folder in the catalog where they can do their things and then you delete the whole folder once debugging done. The less you touch the security of your prod for that need, the safer it is.

Hi, What's the point of being able to edit a dashboard but not save it? For the analysis I can see a need for it, but for the dashboard a lot less (as a dashboard is a set of analysis, so why don't you create the required dashboard directly?). At the catalog level they need to be able to open objects but not write them. In…
