Bundle contents
It may be of interest to you as to what the bundle contains. Most files in the .jar
are unreadable system-specific binaries, but if you opened the file, you would see the following:
NQSConfig.ini
(11g version)NQSConfig.ini
(12c version)
Also, you will find something called the Business Intelligence Archive (BAR) file. This is a new 12c object, which gathers together three of the main OBIEE objects, and enables such an easy transfer process:
live.cat
: This is our 11g Presentation Catalog in an archive formatlive.rpd
: This is our 11g RPD that has been upgraded to 12csystem-jazn-data.xml
: This contains our security metadata, that is, our 11g Application Roles and Policies
Importing the bundle
There are two options for importing the .jar
file into our new 12c system:
- Configuration Assistant
- BI Migration Script
Let's take these in turn.
