OBIEE install avoid RTD license problems

If you are not going to use RTD (Real Time Decisions) uncheck the box during installation:

This avoids extremely difficult discussions with Oracle over the license fee.

OBIEE 11116 repository on MS-SQL I

We had to do a POC on some MS-SQL data. Instead of bringing an extra Oracle DB we used an existing MS-SQL instance.

1. Create a repository database:

We called ours “Repositories”

2. Enable case-sensitive collation

ALTER DATABASE Repositories COLLATE Latin1_General_CS_AS

3. Enable Row versioning

ALTER DATABASE Repositories SET READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT ON

 

See you in Brighton !

Want to know if  the White Stork really brings the babies? See me and many others speak at the Rittman Mead BI-Forum http://www.rittmanmead.com/biforum2012

See you in Brighton!

OBIEE11g FireFox 10 problems

For those of you having problems with the new FireFox 10 client. Michal Novy posted a solution on Christians Blog:

Hi, I found the way how to do a workaround:
1. type "about:config" into an address bar
2. right click anywhere and choose New / String
3. name it "general.useragent.override"
4. put the value "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; Windows NT 6.1; rv:10.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/9.0"
5. refresh OBIEE login screen
Then it works without any problems!

Seems that Oracle is already working on some patches: see patch # 13564003 released by Oracle Support which repairs this limitation.

VMWARE connection problems

I noticed when connection a vmware to certain networks the network doesn’t like a loopback adapter running on the vmware. Although you will get a valid IP it can’t connect to anything….

Disabling the loopback did the trick.
