Back to Basics

Oracle obiee documentation (obiee 11.1.1.5) is long and does not have have fancy pictures.

Generally my approach is when I have issues to search forum posts and blogs.

Now I am thinking to read all obiee documents to fill any gaps that I have.

I might take a couple of days but the benefits will be much greater. How many times have you used some application for years and at some point find a feature that makes your life so much easier? Vim is a perfect example for this with its many tricks.

Read the documentation thoroughly - sounds so simple and yet almost no one does it.

OBIEE 10g and 11g Analytics Default Passwords

10g
http://hostname:9704/analytics/

Username: Administrator
Password: Administrator

RPD: SADMIN

11g
http://hostname:9704/analytics/

It uses the weblogic username that you have created at installation (if it was a full installation)

Example:

Username: weblogic
Password: welcome1

RPD:Admin123

Merging RPD files

I was thinking to write about merging rpds but the Oracle documentation is pretty good.

I have just added the most useful link on the topic.

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/bi.1111/e10540/mngreposfiles.htm

This tutorial is the same but step by step guide.

I have starting reading the Oracle documentation guide by guide. I find it very useful. I discover many things that I have missed - different rpd merges and patches.

Information about the merging rules can be found here.

I recommend this to everyone who is working with Oracle Business Intelligence:
