biee11g Configuring Oracle 12c Data sources

Method One: Enter the connection information directly in the connection pool

The string followed by the connection information configured in the Tnsname.ora is stripped of the space and line breaks.

(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = 172.18.48.112) (PORT = 1521)) (Connect_data = (SERVER = dedicated) (Service_n AME = PDBORCL)))

Method Two: Using the Tnsname.ora case

Tnsname.ora ( manually edited or copied from Oracle Server )

PDBORCL =  (DESCRIPTION = (    ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = 172.18.48.112) (PORT = 1521))    (Connect_data =      (SERVER = dedicated)      (service_name = PDBORCL)    )  )

The Admin tool needs to know the path to this tnsname.ora in two cases

2.1 Configuring the data source for the BI Admin tool that comes with OBIEE server

(For the Admin Tool installed with the complete OBIEE server installation)

Using the Admin tool installed BIEE on Windows to connect to the data source, directly copy the above Tnsname.ora to BIEE's own Oracle client directory (C:\Oracle\OracleBIEE11g\Oracle_ Bi1\network\admin)

2.2 Configuring the data source for the admin tool in a separately installed BIEE client

(For the Admin Tool installed with the new standalone installer)

1. Copy Tnsnames.ora from Oracle server to any directory, such as E:\network\admin

2, add the following line in %obiee_client_home% \oraclebi\orahome\bifoundation\server\bin\bi_init.bat , specify the path of the Tnsnames.ora

For example:C:\Software\Oracle business Intelligence Enterprise Edition Plus Client tools\oraclebi\orahome\bifoundation\ Server\bin\bi_init.bat

Set Tns_admin=c:\network\admin
