I found out yesterday that this behavior also existed in 11g, so I am going to assume that it is working as designed (or that it is a bug that will never be fixed) and I'm withdrawing the question.

There are also no roles listed when attempting to set Permissions for any object in the repository.

May I suggest that more people would respond, or consider responding, if the title of your post was something like 'Can I install only BI Publisher 11g standalone (i.e. without OBIEE)?' instead of just 'OBIEE'.

Ping. Is anyone else experiencing this situation? After a server restart, there is no active repository. I have to use data-model-cmd.cmd uploadrpd after every server restart. Any thoughts?

Srini and rmoff, thank you for your replies. I appreciate the help.

I already had LOGLEVEL=2. I ran a query for the purpose of including the session log here and wouldn't you know it... That query hit the cache. I don't know why. I have not changed any of the caching settings. I don't recall changing anything else either. Go figure. Poltergeists, I suppose. I'll keep an eye on it and post…

Srini, may I assume from your questions that caching in OBIEE 12c is working normally for you?

Looks like DATA_STORAGE_PATHS is the usual "cache" 500MB. The cache section of NQSConfig.ini is included here. ENABLE = YES; # This Configuration setting is managed by Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control # A comma separated list of <directory maxSize> pair(s). # These are relative to the process instance…

Yes, it is checked. (Incidentally, in 12c Oracle moved that option. It is now located under Configuration > Performance. The "Capacity Management" tab appears to have been removed in 12c.)

Try this as a SQL filter: "Your Times Table"."Your Date Column" between timestampadd(SQL_TSI_DAY, -DAYOFWEEK(current_date)-6, CURRENT_DATE) and timestampadd(SQL_TSI_DAY, -DAYOFWEEK(current_date), CURRENT_DATE)

Also, I just noticed that I don't see a way to activate the online repository that I was using yesterday. This means that I need to redo all of the online changes that I made yesterday. 

OK, very good. Thank you!
