3.2 Task 2: Apply Oracle BI Mobile App Designer OPatch

Note:

Standard Oracle Fusion Middleware (FMW) customers must apply this patch to:

-MW_HOME /OracleBI1 (Oracle BI Home)

To apply the OPatch:

1. Unzip the patch zip file into the Oracle BI Home directory.
For example:

- On Unix you might extract patch 17220944 to
prod_mwhome/Oracle_BI1/17220944

- On Windows you might extract patch 17220944 to
c:\prod_mwhome\Oracle_BI1\17220944

2. Set your current directory to the directory where the patch is located.
For example:

- On UNIX: If the Oracle BI Home directory is prod_mwhome/Oracle_BI1, then enter the following:
$ cd prod_mwhome/Oracle_BI1

- On Windows: If the Oracle BI Home directory is C:\prod_mwhome\Oracle_BI1, then enter the following:
cd c:\prod_mwhome\Oracle_BI1

3. At the command prompt, set the ORACLE_HOME, PATH, and JAVA_HOME environment variables as appropriate for the operating system.
For example:

- On Unix if you are using a command shell derived from the C shell, then set the environment variables by entering the following:

setenv ORACLE_HOME $PWD
setenv PATH $ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
setenv JAVA_HOME $ORACLE_HOME/jdk
setenv PATH $JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
setenv PATH $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch:$PATH

- On Windows: If the Oracle BI Home directory is C:\prod_mwhome\Oracle_BI1, then set the environment variables by entering the following:

set ORACLE_HOME=C:\prod_mwhome\Oracle_BI1
set PATH=%ORACLE_HOME%\bin;%PATH%
set JAVA_HOME=%ORACLE_HOME%\jdk
set PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%PATH%
set PATH=%ORACLE_HOME%\OPatch;%PATH%

4. At the command prompt, change directory to the extracted patch directory.
For example:

- On Unix: If you extracted patch 17220944 into
prod_mwhome/Oracle_BI1/17220944

then enter the following:

$ cd prod_mwhome/Oracle_BI1/17220944

- On Windows: If you extracted patch 17220944 into
C:\prod_mwhome\Oracle_BI1\17220944

then enter the following:

cd C:\prod_mwhome\Oracle_BI1\17220944

5. Apply the patch.
Use the following command to apply the patch to the ORACLE_HOME:

opatch apply

When OPatch starts, it validates the patch to ensure that there are no conflicts with the software already installed in the ORACLE_HOME.

OPatch categorizes two types of conflicts:

- Conflicts with a patch already applied to the ORACLE_HOME.
In this case, stop the patch installation, and contact Oracle Support Services.

- Conflicts with a subset patch already applied to the ORACLE_HOME.
In this case, continue the install as the new patch contains all the fixes from the existing patch in the ORACLE_HOME.

4 Postinstallation Steps

- Mobile App Designer Option Not Available from Oracle Business Intelligence Home Page

- Log In Required When Mobile App Designer Is Opened

- The addMADCodeGrants.py Script Fails

- Mobile App Designer Options Disappear from BI Home Page After Upgrading to a BIEE Bundle Patch

- Why do I get the following patch conflict error message when running OPatch?

- Why do I get the OUI-67078 warning message when applying OPatch?

7.1 The bimad Application Does Not Start

Following are two possible causes for the bimad application failing to start after installation and deployment:

- The bimad Application Is Not Deployed to Same Target as Analytics

- Oracle BI JBIPS Is Not Deployed

7.1.1 The bimad Application Is Not Deployed to Same Target as Analytics

The bimad Web application must be deployed to the same target as the Analytics web application. The default target is "bi_cluster".

If you did not deploy the bimad application to the same target as the Analytics web application, change the deployment as follows:

1. In a browser, navigate to the WebLogic Administration Console.

2. Click Lock & Edit in the Change Center.

3. Click Deployments on the left pane under Domain Structure.

5. Select the Targets tab.

6. Click Change Targets and update the target server.

7. Click Release Configuration in the Change Center.

7.1.2 Oracle BI JBIPS Is Not Deployed

If the bimad application does not start and you see this error:

[Extension-Name: oracle.bi.jbips.commons, exact-match: false],
[Extension-Name: oracle.bi.jbips.soap, exact-match: false]

You must deploy Oracle BI JBIPS 11.1.1.7.0.

Follow the steps in the section "Enabling JBIPS Features for the Smartview Client" under "Post-Patching Tasks If Your Starting Point is Release 11.1.1.6.0," in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Patching Guide.

7.2 Mobile App Designer Option Not Available from Oracle Business Intelligence Home Page

If you log in to the Oracle Business Intelligence Home page and do not see the Mobile App Designer option, ensure that you followed the postinstall step: Section 4.3, "Task 3: Enable BI Mobile App Designer in BI Presentation Services."

7.3 Log In Required When Mobile App Designer Is Opened

If you are prompted for login credentials when you access Mobile App Designer, then the code grants were not successfully added to the system JAZN file.

To validate the code grants:

1. Start WebLogic Administration server:
On Unix:

Navigate to prod_mwhome/user_projects/domains/<domain_name>/bin

Enter the following at the command prompt:

./startWebLogic.sh

2. Run WLST script to validate the code grants for Mobile App Designer:
cd prod_mwhome/Oracle_BI1/bifoundation/install

prod_mwhome/Oracle_BI1/common/bin/wlst.sh validateMADApplication.py t3://<hostname>:7001 <WebLogic administrator name>

Example:

prod_mwhome/Oracle_BI1/common/bin/wlst.sh validateMADApplication.py t3://myserver1:7001 weblogic

If the validation script returns: "BI Mobile App Designer deployment not found. Please double check the installation process."

Repeat Task 2: Update Security Configuration for Oracle BI Mobile App Designer.

If the validation script returns: "BI Mobile App Designer deployment found."

Contact Oracle Support Services.

7.4 The addMADCodeGrants.py Script Fails

If the addMADCodeGrants.py script fails ensure that you are using wlst.sh under

prod_mwhome/Oracle_BI1/common/bin

Do NOT use

prod_mwhome/wlserver_10.3/common/bin

7.5 Mobile App Designer Options Disappear from BI Home Page After Upgrading to a BIEE Bundle Patch

If you installed Oracle BI Mobile App Designer to your 11.1.1.7.1 environment and then upgrade to a later Oracle BIEE Bundle Patch (such as 11.1.1.7.140114), ensure that <EnableMAD> is set to "true" in the instanceconfig.xml, as described in Section 4.3, "Task 3: Enable BI Mobile App Designer in BI Presentation Services."

7.6 Why do I get the following patch conflict error message when running OPatch?

If the patch that you apply conflicts with a previously applied patch, you may receive the following error message when running OPatch:

Patch(es) <PreviousPatch#> conflict with the patch currently being installed (<NewPatch#>).

If you continue, patch(es) <PreviousPatch#> will be rolled back and the new patch (<NewPatch#>) will be installed.

If a merge of the new patch (<NewPatch#>) and the conflicting patch(es) (<PreviousPatch#>) is required, contact Oracle Support Services and request a Merged patch.

This error is returned when one patch attempts to update a previously patched file. When this conflict happens, you can either (1) roll back the previous patch and use the new patch (this action might be appropriate if the previous patch was not critical) or (2) request a ”merged patch” consisting of the new patch and the patch that it conflicts with. To request a merged patch, contact your Oracle Support representative.

7.7 Why do I get the OUI-67078 warning message when applying OPatch?

This warning means that the patch being applied is a superset of a patch already on the deployment and the existing patch will be rolled back. The following snippet shows the context of this warning.

The following warnings have occurred during OPatch execution:
1) OUI-67078:Interim patch [77777777] is a superset of the patch(es) [77777777] in OH C:\Oracle\Middleware\EPM_ORACLE_HOME
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPatch Session completed with warnings.
