How To Deploy RPD And Catalog Without Enterprise Manager

How to deploy RPD and catalog without Enterprise manager

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

Step4:   

After changing the configuration files and restart the services – we can login to the Enterprise mangager. 

In which we can observer the following:

 

Central Configuration is disabled

-- which means the configuration through the EM got 

Disabled and will allow us to do the changes directly to the configuration files.

Where as now it will not allow to do the central configuration for any other objects – need to be handled individually.

We can observe the following also in EM window that  --“ Active Changes , Release Configuration  “ tabs are got disabled because of the above changes.

 

By doing this it allow’s us to change the RPD name directly in NQSConfig.INI file where there is no need to provide the Repository password ( as it will point to the existing RPD) and since it is not going to create a new RPD for version like EM. So it will upload the RPD without any problem and make the UI work’s fine

The second time onwards No need repeat  step4

Step5: 

The second time onwards, Repeat step2 and step3

And restart Oracle BI Services and Oracle BI Presentation Services
