How to deploy RPD and catalog without Enterprise manger

How to deploy RPD and catalog without Enterprise manger

Many times the obiee service goes off because of deployment of inconsistent RPD and to make the services up we need to deploy the previous RPD.

To achieve this we change the name of RPD and Catalog in NQSConfig.ini and Instanvceconfig.xml file respectively just similar to obiee 10g RPD and catalog deployment method. But in obiee11g if we change in NQSConfig.ini and Instanceconfig.xml file and restarted the services the obiee 11g revert back the changes whatever we did manually.


Actually there is Central configuration enable by default in obiee11g which allows us to update the configuration with interface. So to disable the central configuration and deploy the RPD and catalog with obiee10g fashion follow the following steps

1) Edit the biee-doamin.xml file from location ORACLE_HOME\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain\config\fmwconfig and edit the “centralConfigurationEnabled” tag as shown below

2) Change the RPD name in of RPD in NQSConfig.ini file .The NQSConfig.ini file is located at ORACLE_HOME\instances\instance1\config\OracleBIServerComponent\coreapplication_obis1

3) Change the catalog detail in instanceconfig.xml file.File is located at location at ORACLE_HOME\instances\instance1\config\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreapplication_obips1

4) Restart all services, now you can see the changes whatever we did in NQSConfid.ini and instanceconfig.xml file are as per our requirement now.

OBIEE 11.1.1.6 - Dashboard prompt show "Null" value in drop-down list

OBIEE 11.1.1.6 - Dashboard prompt show "Null" value in drop-down list

In the dashboard prompt, "NULL" value was added as a choice in every prompt after applying the patch OBIEE 11.1.1.6.

In the above example, to filter the NULL value in prompt

1) Edit the prompt definition for this column, select 'SQL Results' from 'Choice List Values' selection.

2) Add the condition WHERE IS NOT IN ('(Null)') to your SQL statement and click OK to preview the result. This will display all non-null values in the prompt drop-down as below.

bypass presentation services cache

During our development if we wanted to check the report level UI changes, sometimes we will not see the changes immidiately. This is due to Presentation Server Cache. Eventhough we disable the BI Server cache, It doesnt make any effect on presentation Server objects.

So in that situations we need to disable Presentation server cache permanently across OBI Application, To do this add the following parameters in instaceconfig.xml. (Make sure that you have taken a backup copy of instanceconfig.xml)

<ServerInstance>
———

<Cursors>
<ForceRefresh>false</ForceRefresh>
</Cursors>

——–

</ServerInstance>

Now restart the OBI Presentation server service and test the results.

Note: Keep in mind that this parameters cause Presentation Server to always bypass its cache. To be used only for testing – may have serious performance implications.
