Analytics Software

Hi everybody,

I have a very depressing problem. I installed my OBI-EE on our server and started configuring it. At the beginning everything worked fine but from a certain point on the Administrator login failed with the message:


{color:#ff0000}Fehler
The server can not be used due to a configuration error, please contact the administrator. If you are the administrator, please consult BI Publisher user guide for proper configuration.
Error Detail
{color}





{color:#ff0000}
Back

oracle.apps.xdo.servlet.resources.ResourceNotFoundException: //xxx.yyy.zzz/XMLP/Admin/Security/principals.xml{color}





Also it was strange that on the login screen I only had one language "English (United States)" available where I normally have a huge amount of selections.


As a consequence of this problem I restored the backup{color:#000000}
{color}


{color:#000000}Unluckily restoring the XML files which I changed from a backup had no effect on the problem. The problem stayed the same even so the XML files were those of the working configuration.{color}


{color:#000000}As a next consequence I tried to reinstall OBI-EE with "RESET CONFIGURATION" option ...with the same effect. The problem was still there.{color}


{color:#000000}Only an uninstallation and a reinstallation helped solving the problem .....{color}


{color:#000000}....after having configured for a while the problem appeared again. Examining the problem more in detail I recognized that almost any kind of change in the \OracleBI\xmlp\XMLP\Admin\Configuration\xmlp-server-config.xml causes this problem. Currently this file looks in the following way:
{color}

{color:#3366ff}<xmlpConfig xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/xmlp">
<property name="SUPERUSER_PASSWORD" value="TESTPW"/>
<property name="SUPERUSER_USERNAME" value="Admin"/>
<property name="GUEST_FOLDER" value="false"/>
<property name="SAW_SERVER" value="xxx.yyy.zzz"/>
<property name="SAW_USERNAME" value="Administrator"/>
<property name="CACHE_EXPIRATION" value="30"/>
<property name="SAW_VERSION" value="v4"/>
<property name="ENABLE_SUPERUSER" value="true"/>
<property name="BI_SERVER_SECURITY_ADMIN_PASSWORD" value="TESTPW"/>
<property name="BI_SERVER_SECURITY_ADMIN_USERNAME" value="Administrator"/>
<property name="CACHE_SIZE_LIMIT" value="1000"/>
<property name="DEBUG_LEVEL" value="exception"/>
<property name="BI_SERVER_SECURITY_URL" value="jdbc:oraclebi://xxx.yyy.zzz:9703/"/>
<property name="SAW_SESSION_TIMEOUT" value="90"/>
<property name="BI_SERVER_SECURITY_DRIVER" value="oracle.bi.jdbc.AnaJdbcDriver"/>
<property name="CACHED_REPORT_LIMIT" value="50"/>
<property name="SAW_PROTOCOL" value="http"/>
<property name="SAW_PORT" value="9704"/>
<property name="SAW_URL_SUFFIX" value="analytics/saw.dll"/>
<property name="SECURITY_MODEL" value="BI_SERVER"/>
<property name="SAW_PASSWORD" value="TESTPW"/>
</xmlpConfig>{color}
Does anyone know how to simply reset the problem and even more import how do configuration work at this file without ending in this problem (i.e. changing the Administrator password).


Thanks.
