By a strange co-incidence after following this thread on OTN forums about a BI crash and struggling to understand the actual problem, I think I’ve encountered it myself! I’ve got a test install of OBIEE running on my Windows XP laptop, and whilst building a report in Answers got this: ](http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RCx_EVJpczQ/SmiDrEorbbI/AAAAAAAAGcg/OPGwTLXXg8k/s1600/crash1.png)[ was: szAppName : sawserver.exe szAppVer : 10.1.3.4 szModName : kernel32.dll szModVer : 5.1.2600.3119 offset : 000097a3 Going to the sawserver log at c:\OracleBIData\web\log\sawlog0.

A few points to add to my previous posting on JConsole: As well as performance data, you have access to configuration data. Be aware that it is read-write! So whilst it might be a nice alternative to digging around for your instanceconfig.xml etc, you should be careful If you have your BI Server and Presentation Services deployed on separate servers then you will only get MBeans for the relevant service: If you want to view the values of the BI Server MBeans and your Presentation Services server is not on the same box then you have to use JConsole/JMX, as Performance Monitor will not have access to the values: ](http://2.

As a kid I loved the idea of lego where you can disassemble and reassemble something from the ground up. As soon as I got my hands on a computer it was the same. You can have your Acorn Archimedes with its games, where do I find the sprites and sound files behind it? Likewise Microsoft Word, let me at the VBA underneath to hack it around and see what else it can do.

[edit] See this post too [/edit] On an OBIEE server run [sourcecode language=“bash”] nohup obiee/systemsmanagement/runagent.sh & [/sourcecode] and then run jconsole (make sure you’ve set the DISPLAY first if you’re running it from UNIX). NB: if you don’t have jconsole in your path you can search for it: [sourcecode language=“bash”] $whereis jconsole jconsole: /opt/java1.5/bin/jconsole /opt/java6/bin/jconsole</span> [/sourcecode] You should find it under your java/bin directory You should get this kind of connection dialog: Click connect, and the console will launch.

I’m working on a scripted load test for OBIEE using nqcmd to run reports multiple times. I hit this interesting issue. Cut and pasting the logical SQL that Presentation Services sends to BI Server from Manage Sessions -> Statement, I kept getting this error when I ran it through nqcmd: [10058][State: S1000] [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: S1000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 27005] Unresolved column: “Natural Account (COA)”.“Account Parent1 Code”.

It’s possible to change the error pages served up by OAS/Apache by using the ErrorDocument directive. This is widely documented. However, to get this to take effect in an oc4j application (such as analytics) you need to change mod_oc4j.conf too. (I found this out from this post here) Take backups of httpd.conf and mod_oc4j.conf, and then edit them as follows: In httpd.conf add: ErrorDocument 500 /500.html where /500.html is a relative path to your custom document

New releases this week - 10.1.3.4.1 of OBIEE, and 7.9.6 of OBIA. After a bit of scrabbling around found: “The 10.1.3.4.1 release of the Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition introduces no new features.” Though there are some new bits and pieces for Publisher For 7.9.6 OBIA, there’s no New Features document :( By piecing together the “What’s New in This Release” for each document you can build up a picture (eg in the Upgrade Guide there’s reference to changes for the doc relating to a new version of Informatica), but it would be nice to have it all in one place:

We’ve got a setup of two OAS/Presentation Services boxes and two BI Server boxes, with load balancing/failover throughout. The Load Balancing of the web requests is being done through a separate bit of kit, an F5 BIG-IP load balancer. This directs the requests at the two OAS servers. The problem we have is that by default OAS serves HTTP on port 7777, but the F5 is using port 80. A request for our load balanced URL: http://bi.

(See here and here for history) I edited the shell script which is eventually called by run-saw.sh to start the sawserver, (OracleBI)/setup/sawserver.sh, to use trus: Comment out the final line: $SASAWSERVER and insert as a new line: tusc -fepan -o /tmp/sawserver_tusc.out $SASAWSERVER The output of trus ended with this: open("/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/lib/libstd_v2.so.1", O_RDONLY|0x800, 0) ……… ERR#2 ENOENT open("/app/oracle/product/obiee/server/Bin64/libstd_v2.so.1", O_RDONLY|0x800, 0) .
