How to setup multiple repositories on a single OBIEE 10g

installation instance

14 Oct

1 – Introduction

This topic explains how to setup multiple repositories on a single OBIEE installation instance.

Having multiple repositories on a single OBIEE 10g instance could be useful especially if want to managedifferent projects in a development environment or if you are sales people that need to show different

solutions to the customers without having multiple OBIEE 10g installations on your laptop.

2 – Configure different repositories

The steps to setup multiple repositories on a single OBIEE 10g instance are really few.

2.1 First of all we need to add in the <OBIEE_HOME>/BI/Server/config/nqsconfig.ini the reference to

another repository file:

Assuming that one of the repositories is the default one that comes with the first OBIEE 10g installation,

your new configuration should look like the following:

Repository

Star1 = myNewRepository.rpd, DEFAULT;

Star2 = samplesales.rpd;

2.2 Then we need to define different Analytics ODBC Data Sources for each repository.

For windows



For Unix

Assuming to have the following sources:

AnalyticsWeb1 Driver=/<OBIEE_HOME>/server/Bin/libnqsodbc.so

Description=Oracle BI Server

ServerMachine=local

Repository=Star2

Catalog=

UID=

PWD=

Port=9703

…

For the default repository, and

AnalyticsWeb2

Driver=/<OBIEE_HOME>/server/Bin/libnqsodbc.so

Description=Oracle BI Server

ServerMachine=local

Repository=

Catalog=

UID=

PWD=

Port=9703…

We edit the <OBIEE_HOME>/setup/odbc.ini file by adding the following data sources:

ODBC Data Sources AnalyticsWeb1=Oracle BI Server

AnalyticsWeb2=Oracle BI Server

2.3 We duplicate the <OBIEE_DATA_HOME>\web\config\instanceconfig.xml in order to have the

following

instanceconfig1.xml

instanceconfig2.xml



2.4 In each file we specify the following parameters:

DSN: The ODBC name to link the repository to the presentation (AnalyticsWeb1 o AnalyticsWeb2).

Listener Port: A different port for each presentation service (e.g 9710 and 9711)

CatalogPath: The catalog path

The two instanceconfig.xml files should look like the following:

instanceconfig1.xml

<ServerInstance>

<DSN>AnalyticsWeb1</DSN>

<Listener port=”9710 />

<CatalogPath>C:/OracleBIData/web/catalog/catalog1</CatalogPath>

…

instanceconfig2.xml

<ServerInstance><DSN>AnalyticsWeb2</DSN>

<Listener port=”9711 />

<CatalogPath>C:/OracleBIData/web/catalog/catalog2</CatalogPath>

…

2.5 Now we are ready to run 2 presentation servers by running twice the same presentation server instance

with different instanceconfig.xml file:

Windows

copy instanceconfig1.xml instanceconfig.xml <BIEE_HOME>\OracleBI\web\bin\sawserver.exe

copy instanceconfig2.xml instanceconfig.xml

<BIEE_HOME>\ OracleBI\web\bin\sawserver.exe

Unix

cp instanceconfig1.xml instanceconfig.xml

<BIEE_HOME>/OracleBI/run-saw.sh start

cp instanceconfig2.xml instanceconfig.xml

<BIEE_HOME>/OracleBI/run-saw.sh start

2.6 Any web application can connect to one BI Presentation (one catalog and repository), so we need to

deploy a number or applications that corresponds to the number of running presentations.

For instance, we deploy the analytics service again with the name “analytics2

In order to connect the application to the presentation we edit the \analytics\WEB-INF\web.xml to set the

following parameter:

oracle.bi.presentation.sawserver.Port by specifying the value of the corresponding port.

For the application that connects to the default repository:



<servlet>

<servlet-name>SAWBridge</servlet-name>

<servlet-class>com.siebel.analytics.web.SAWBridge</servlet-class>

<init-param>

<param-name>oracle.bi.presentation.sawserver.Host</param-name>

<param-value>localhost</param-value>

</init-param>

<init-param>

<param-name>oracle.bi.presentation.sawserver.Port</param-name>

<param-value>9710</param-value>

</init-param>

</servlet>

For the application that connects to the second one:

<servlet>

<servlet-name>SAWBridge</servlet-name>

<servlet-class>com.siebel.analytics.web.SAWBridge</servlet-class>

<init-param><param-name>oracle.bi.presentation.sawserver.Host</param-name>

<param-value>localhost</param-value>

</init-param>

<init-param>

<param-name>oracle.bi.presentation.sawserver.Port</param-name>

<param-value>9711</param-value>

</init-param>

</servlet>

2.7 Summary:

We can access now the applications via the following urls:

http://bihost:9710/analytics

http://bihost:9711/analytics2
