Hi, Are you the one who posted on MOSC too? Creating HFM reports in OBIEE 11.1.1.9 I'm just going to do a copy/paste: The process has been documented in detail by Oracle in a PDF for OBIEE 11.1.1.7. For OBIEE 11.1.1.9 you could imagine things were easier as the ADM driver is already there for Hyperion Planning, but…

I would agree with Christian but I'm guessing if I didn't see something similar as well at some point. Because the joins, as you say, still return the same result, from a logical point view they are equivalent. And I guess I saw few cases where OBIEE try to improve the query and so add filters where needed or adapt joins…

If following that approach all the static files must be on the "other server", not just a bunch of custom images, because OBIEE will stop referencing the static files locally and use the remote http:// instead.

Yes and no... You can have them on a different server but to use fmap you will have to mount on the OBIEE server the folder from the other server containing the images to deploy that as analyticsRes (or link it inside the deployed analyticsRes). If you don't do that you will need a way to "server" the images from the other…

RPD is the repository containing all the "logic" (physical sources, business models and what you expose in subject areas). As "Author" you can't access it, it's more a admin role accessing it.

It didn't existed back in in 11.1.1.7 (14? that one is supposed to be a 6 digits bundle patch date). The best option for your version is to add that formula to the RPD directly and use the new column instead.

Bingo ! 98.5% of chances you will find your solution if you look into the SSL config you did (certificate etc.). Things almost never happen just like that

Does the user have access to the OBIEE homepage? If not give him access and ask to test again when at home. The OBIEE homepage privilege is required for few things (act as if I'm not wrong for example) and it's possible that the iPad app also require it. (I guess the user uses the OBIEE app and not the browser as 11.1.1.7…

Did it ever work at some point? OBIEE never managed to send a single email?

Christian already told you why and alternatives. As you are bypassing OBIEE completely you must work without and if you want to have some different style on a cell or another your only option is to return HTML as the cell value and build the HTML as you require. As you can imagine it's even worst than a DDR because not…

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.
