More precisely the 1st answer you got in this thread, something about ... backups ...

Hi, Knowing the server name is right doesn't mean it works. Did you try to open a connection with the SMTP server from the BI Server? The name is maybe correct but there is a firewall in between or the BI Server doesn't resolve the name to the IP your mail server really is etc.

As Cesar said SmartView is the official plugin now. The old OBI plugin disappeared years ago already, Smartview is the official one for quite a while (and as it's also the plugin for few EPM tools it makes a single plugin for many usage).

The "historical" solution for collaborations and comments is BITeamwork (OBIEE Commenting & Annotation Tool | Collaborate with BITeamwork ). The Rittman Mead ChitChat came a lot later. If you use elements of OSSM (scorecards) you have a native commenting solution. If you look into SampleApp you see some other "home made"…

In 12c you don't need the RCU separately like in 11g, the configuration will run it directly if you provides the "sys" connection info, so not having installed RCU isn't a problem itself.

Ask the guy who installed it or the one who manage it, easier There are chances it has been integrated with your corporate LDAP / AD, so same user/password you already use for other things (assuming it's not just a sandbox).

@nm.Mani pointed you in the right direction. Of course everything is stored in the filesystem, but you are never supposed to put your hands at that level, just because there are lot of metadata related to every single object in the OBIEE catalog which is managed and make sense only for the app and not at the filesystem…

Close it, not sure you can "delete" it, so just flag it as "assumed answered". And the real thread is: Open BAR file, without improting in OBI 12c

As said it is a ZIP file. So take the app you normally use to open zip files... The extension doesn't matter at all.

Hi, You can open the BAR and look inside if you are curious, it is a zip file ... For example, if i want to open the Usage_Tracking.bar file and do necessary changes before deploying/merging into the current rpd. No, that's not how things are supposed to work ... If you open the Usage_Tracking.bar it is only to look what's…

I guess you don't need to do anything to "fix" the problem, users login again later or at a different time and access is back? What probably happen is that users don't get the right/full application role membership during login, that would explain the "intermittently" occurrence. So investigate on that direction, when you…

Hi @3310714 , Please do not go and apply any random patch posted by @Jasmine Pauline, what you saw is the expected behaviour and works like that since OBIEE exists (ok, at least 5-6 years for sure, seems to be more enough to not be a bug!). No luck you can't see the link (a nice company blocking slideshare.net where you…

As you just said 11g I took the latest 11g SampleApp, so 11.1.1.9.0 (Build 150415.1247 64-bit)

Managed to run my local SampleApp 506 (11g) : fragmented source in Publisher no problem at all. Same analysis in OBIEE gives the same results as Publisher using a Subject Area as source. The 4th column is the "fragmented column" while 2nd and 3rd go to one logical table the first and to the second logical table the second.…

Hi, First thing first: you aren't talking with Oracle Support but posting on a community and public forum, if you want to open a SR you must go to https://support.oracle.com/ What does the logs tell you? Any query in OBIEE has logs, so you must be able to find exactly what query Publisher is sending to OBIEE. Wanted to try…

Hi, What kind of research you did about that? Because Google actually return some nice hints ... Let's turn things in a different way: how can you access Share Point data? Can you define it as a java data source? Can you define a ODBC connection to it? These 2 methods can be sources in the RPD. Apparently based on Google…

@EmmanuelMash pointed you in the right direction (there are also slides and videos of rmoff's Silver Bullet presentation on performance). I would just say to not limit yourself to log files, in your case I would also not underestimate the benefits to look at DMS metrics...

You aren't missing anything @Thomas Dodds I was a bit too much against the "original need" and forgot to think a bit wider... So the preferred drill path is the cleanest solution as long as the requirement isn't to drill somewhere else in the next analysis

As said I suspect your only way to link customer and product is using the fact table. So if you imagine a join between the customer table, the fact table and the product table you easily see how bad it is because of the number of lines returned. So you can do it, sure, it's just not the ideal way. What you did now is a way…

Hi, Why do you want that? The result will be the same product categories to be repeated again and again many many time for all your customers, doesn't really make sense. And the link between custom and product category is probably only your fact table with sales. These few things make it a kind no-sense hierarchy, that's…
