Verifying the Upgrade..
The Upgrade Assistant automatically loads the new repository to the 11g BI Server and restarts all BI components. You can verify that Oracle BI EE has been upgraded successfully by logging into the 11g system to confirm that Oracle BI EE components are running, checking repository metadata, and verifying that you are able to view dashboards and reports. To verify the upgrade, perform the following steps:
- Verifying Oracle BI system components.
- Verifying repository metadata.
- Verifying reports and dashboards.
I. Verifying Oracle BI System Components:
a. In a browser, enter http://machine_name:7001/emto log into Fusion Middleware Control on the 11g system.
b. In the left pane, expand Business Intelligence > coreapplication.
c. In the right pane, select the Overview page and confirm that all system components are available.
d. Select the Repository sub-tab. This page shows the current installed repository. Notice that the Upgrade Assistance automatically uploaded the upgraded repository to the BI Server domain. In this example, the repository is named as ABC_BI0002.
II. Verifying Repository Metadata:
a. Select Start > Programs > Oracle Business Intelligence > BI Administration to open the Administration Tool.
b. Select File > Open > Online to open the repository in online mode.
c. Enter the Repository password and User Password. The repository password is the password that you identified earlier during the upgrade process: Admin123. The username and password are the Oracle Weblogic Server administration username and password created during your 11g installation. In this example, the user is Weblogic.
d. Click Open to open the upgraded repository in an online mode.
e. In the Physical layer, expand XE > Supplier2.
f. Close the repository.
g. Close the Administration Tool.
II. Verifying Reports and Dashboards:
a. Sign in to Oracle BI 11g as an administrative user. In this example the user is Weblogic and password is wish_tree13. Your username and password will vary depending on how you have installed and configured your environment.
b. Click the Administration link.
c. On the Administration page, in the Maintenance and Troubleshooting section, click a Reload Files and Metadata.
d. Click the Home link.
e. From the Home page, select Analysis > Supplier Sales to open the Analysis Editor.
f. Create and run an analysis to test your metadata and data.
