Hi.. Can someone please address this.. much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Gurus, Can someone please address my concern in previous comment.. Thanks..

Hi Gianni, As mentioned in my question, both OBIEE versions (windows server, Linux) are 12.2.1.3. On windows one, i can run the command without "-D" and upload RPD successfully where as the Linux one expects that. I can add that "-D" to the command on Linux and run but my concern is those "customization groups" have…

Hi Gurus, Please share any inputs on this.. Thanks

Update: Found Doc 2764086.1 on my oracle support knowledge portal, which states that a separate FMW need to be installed (which creates a new Oracle_Home) and in this new Oracle_Home we need to install OAS 6.4. Note: Even though the existing FMW is the same version (12.2.1.4), a new FMW need to be installed.

Hi.. Came across similar errors in online search and suggestions like "specify an empty new Oracle Home" appeared. But here as the very purpose is to "Upgrade" existing version of OAS to 6.4, obviously i MUST specify the SAME oracle home. Please share any inputs .. Thank you.

Thanks Gianni.

c) "you can always parse through it by code and kill all assignments of type user or group " ---- you mean go to EM and manually modify mappings ? (the users and groups assignments to App Roles) Thanks

"It has app roles and the members of app roles (so app roles being member of another app role, or accounts and groups being members of an app role). " Above is a bit confusing, you say app roles and its members (groups and users -- ideally users not be assigned directly , got it ) are in BAR. If BAR brings users and…

Thanks Gianni. So all it brings is app roles,

Hi Chris, Earlier i ran the command but without any optional parameters. At that time i did not use any square brackets for "encryptionpassword". So again followed suit. Thanks

Hi Chris, You said "You import the whole BAR. Including security. If you don't do that you're creating a mountain of work yourself which can easily be prevented." -- wondering if i import security also in BAR, it may wipe out the already configured AD authenticator in weblogic console.. Thanks

Hi Gurus, can someone please advice on this . Thanks

We are still in the stage of setting up 5.9. So not considering upgrade at the moment.

Thanks Gianni, forgot to mention in question, here OS is RHEL 7, Dev is VM, Test and Prod are physical servers (if that affects your answer)

Hi Mmrsherf Figured out that we need to be on OBIEE 12.2.1.4 in order to be able to migrate to OAS (5.5 or 5.9) So first upgrade your 12.2.1.3 to 12.2.1.4 , then generate BAR in 12.2.1.4. (here you can add a password to BAR which can't be done in 12.2.1.3) Then import that BAR into OAS as a snapshot and you'll be set.

HI Chris, I looked in .OUT files of all components and i see only a generic error as below just different process ids for different components. Thanks

Hi Chris, Only obijh1 starts, obips1, obis1, obisch1 and obiccs1 all failed. Thanks

Hi Gurus, Please share any inputs on this. Thanks

Quick update: Performed steps mentioned in this doc on my oracle support, Doc ID 2406047.1 But still issue remains the same.
