Will definitely take a look at the presentation! We actually use Active Directory to manage our LDAP users for "authentication", but we also assign users to OBIEE security groups for "authorization" to certain reports, subject areas etc (not sure if I got authentication and authorization mixed up now that I am talking out…

I dont mean to revive a thread that is past, but I came across this thread while experiencing the same issue. I opened my RPD in online mode Tested my variables My variables came back correct, my database values were correct but for some reason the initialization block was "stuck" on a certain date. I tried to clear my…

Hi Gianni That is a very good point, so that would be a third location. 1) TNS file on local desktop machine 2) TNS file on server in OBIEE folders 3) Connection string in RPD I was hoping that would be the answer but it doesnt seem to be. This is what I am seeing I right click on 'eReports' with the connection plug and…

Hi Martin I was unfortunately not able to get the report like you mentioned. When I tried to do exactly as you have shown I hit an error Then the report preview shows this When I check the paths that are "not found" I do see the paths exist Not quite sure what is going on? Would it be possible to see your report output…

Hi Martin It seems the only way I am able to add a column into the "Children Columns in Report" section, is by selecting from the left hand side "Available Columns" So I can select ACL, Account Display Name, Account GUID from "Available Columns" into "Children Columns in Report" But I want to also have an [Analysis] column…

Ok, after a lot of digging around and comparing my QA to my PROD environments I actually found two issues total. On top of the "Logon Failed" error above, I also had an issue where in BI Publisher the "Administration" link was totally missing when I logged into /xmlpserver I went into enterprise manager (EM) and clicked on…

I know within OBIEE there is a portal path, or support to externalize links through a link called portal path. Im not so sure about Visual analyzer though

So I went and did a lot more reading and research and came across some verbage on creating a custom EAR file I was told that this file would be a good place to start: bicustom-template.ear I can see that it does have a lot of properties that can modify the overall look and feel of OBIEE, but within here I can not seem to…

Much thanks! I was trying to cram this in for a deadline and totally over looked these suggestions

I took your advice and just sent a ticket to Oracle and this was their reply There is a known bug on this issue and it would be taken care in the future releases The bug Bug 23189224 - OBIEE 12.2.1.160419 APRIL BUNDLE PATCH DOES NOT UPDATE VERSION NUMBERS I would be adding this bug to the SR as active participant a Dev…

Hi I checked for the OBIEE version in these spots Login splash page -> Lower right hand corner -> "About Product" It shows 12.2.1.2.0 Then I log in using weblogic and check the "Administration" link and also see the product version is 12.2.1.2.0 When i check opatch lsinventory I see the patch is there Its just weird as I…

Sorry do you mean that the liverpd.rpd_4 (in my example) can still be used or opened? I was under the assumption that it could not be opened

I finally figured out what went wrong Its two things really that I missed 1) I had an initialization block that had a checkmark of "Required for Authentication" - When I removed the required for authentication, I was then able to log in. But since this query block was not working, it led me to the second thing 2) So after…

The target: OBIEE 12.2.1.2.0 (Build BIPS-20160923092103 64-BIT) The source: OBIEE 11.1.1.7.140225 (Build 140209.2017 64-bit) I also wanted to note that in 11g, yes I can log in to that system with both weblogic and my LDAP user id no issues. Is there any sort of import that I need to do in the WL console?

Hi Gianni I do owe you thanks for your guidance on my 12c installation I seriously considered that perhaps it was something with my installation along the way that is causing this issue, so I actually did a full reinstall of 12c. So I have a fresh out of the box 12c, reconfigured the LDAP, did another import of my 11g…

Can you be a little bit more specific please. In the Weblogic console under the [All Users Filter] = (&(memberOf=CN=OBIEE,OU=OBIEE,OU=Security Groups,OU=UIT,DC=york,DC=york,DC=ca)(sAMAccountName=*)(objectclass=user)) [User from Name Filter] = (&(sAMAccountName=%u)(objectclass=user)) Is that what you were referring to? When…

So when I look in Weblogic Admin Console I see the following There are no filters/customizations on this table. There is nothing in the link [Customize this table] As you can see there are a total of 26 entries (some test accounts) Its sorted alphabetically, and I am focusing on 'rodneyc' There is only this one single…

Syed Hamd Salman That pretty much sums it up 18 users displayed under [Users and Groups] When I search in EM for a user to assign to an application role (example "Roger") then it pulls 30 names Theres no special criteria defined under "customize this table"

If I could, I would navigate to my EM (enterprise manager), but currently for any of my URL's I can not access it. I installed this OBIEE on a remote Linux server, and this server is not under my control to open/close ports (its under our server group). I had requested that the ports (9500, 9502 and 9514) be opened, which…

Just wanted to close the loop on this thread Very stupid rookie mistake on my part, but apparently my installation had JUST enough space to install everything with no issues, but when it came to start up time it could not as it actually ran out of physical space I pretty much installed most of the examples, so the total…
