How to make change OBIEE RPD in online mode - obiee

When trying to open OBIEE RPD in online mode, I'm getting error window, RPD will open in Read-only mode. This means I can not make any changes. There are few option, which is enable when we open RPD in online mode. So, I need RPD open in online mode.
I tried all solution mentioned below links, but I'm still having same issue :

None of the above links was helpful in my case. Could anyone suggest any other solution ?
PS : I'm using OBIEE 11g.

I would try this:
Go to Enterprise Manager.
Select the performance tab.
Uncheck the “Disallow RPD Updates” checkbox.
Apply the change and Restart the server.
Now try to edit in Online mode.

Oracle says that if you attempt to open a repository that is loaded into Oracle BI Server, the repository opens in read-only mode. Only one Administration tool session at a time can edit a repository in offline mode. If you want to edit the repository while it is loaded, you must open it in online mode.

Using smart view in OBIEE 12C

I was going to use smart view (which is downloaded, installed and added as a tab to Microsoft's products ex. Execl) and connect it to OBIEE 12.2.1.4. So I have downloaded 11.1.2.5 version.
According to my searching on the internet, I have found that in order to create a private connection, it should be done be selecting 'Oracle BI EE' connection provider, whilst I have not this option now. As a result, I fail to connect to OBIEE. I mean like below image:
As an additional INFO, I have found this URL, http://epmstream.blogspot.com/2013/06/how-to-set-up-obiee-access-through.html , which had a same problem and solved. But in my case, I couldn't unfortunately download 11.1.2.2.310 version
Could anyone help me with this issue?
You're not providing much info, but with any fresh installation of SmartView you just click SmartView -> Panel -> Private Connection and then at the very bottom "Create new connection".
There probably was something messed up on the Windows/Excel side during install (it's Windows after all...) or you had some Office product running whle installing SmartView.
You have to close all Office products completely, then find JBIPSProviderInstaller.svext on your file system (Normally C:\Oracle\SmartView). Right-click it -> Open With -> Oracle Smart View for Office.
You should get a message saying it's installed.

How to increase size of GUI/font/everything of Oracle SQL Developer 18.1

I downloaded Windows 64-bit with JDK 8 included of SQL Developer 18.1.
To run Oracle SQL Developed I just unzipped the file and run the sqldeveloper.exe contained in the folder.
Unfortunately, as you can see in the image the size of everything is extremely small and very difficult to see.
This issue appears exclusively with this software.
How can I resolve it?
I also faced a similar issue when installed this on Windows 10. The issue has to do with compatibility settings.
I have fixed it following the steps given below:
Get shortcut of sqldeveloper at your desktop
Ensure that you have admin rights in your PC
Right Click on sqldeveloper icon and select Properties.
Go to the Compatibility tab:
Compatibility mode change it to windows 7
Check the option of Override high DPI scaling beaviour
Select "System" in drop down below
Apply
Re-Launch the application
I guess this is a subjective statement - but that doesn't appear SMALL to me.
However, if you're using an OS accessibility feature to increase the size of text in your applications, the new 'Welcome Page' can interfere with that.
Uncheck 'show on startup' in the Welcome page
Restart SQL Developer.
You should be good.
The Welcome page uses JavaFX to render some HTML and this is apparently getting in the way due to a Java bug. We're looking to mitigate or fix this for a future release.
If that doesn't work, you can also try to actually increase the UI font size.
I talk about how to do that here
This is what it looks like bumped up to font size 14
Find your ide.properties file.
Windows: It's in your OS User's AppData, Roaming, SQL Developer, systemX.Y.Z..., o.sqldeveloper directory where X.Y.Z... represents your version of SQL Developer.
Linux/Mac: It's in your $HOME/.sqldeveloper, systemX.Y.Z, o.sqldeveloper directory.
You’ll notice this file is VERY well documented. There’s a section that speaks to Windows in particular. To change the default size for all look and feels, add this line, the uncommented one:
# To modify the font size for a particular locale under all
# look-and-feels, set the Ide.FontSize.<languageID> property. For
# example:
Ide.FontSize.en=14
2018 Update
On my 4k Mac Mini (2018 build if that matters):
Oracle 8 JDK
SQL Developer 18.3
Mac OS X look and feel
Ide.FontSize=21
This is how SQL Developer looks:
I changed font style and size from available settings from SQL developer.
We can change using Tools -> Preferences ->Code Editor -> Fonts
Fixed this for myself in Oracle Linux 8, but is also worth trying in RHEL and Fedora, if you use either of those.
If SQL Developer is running, close it.
With superuser privileges, open the following file for editing:
sudo nano /opt/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper/bin/sqldeveloper.conf
Add the following two lines at the end:
AddVMOption -Dsun.java2d.uiScale=2
AddVMOption -Dsun.java2d.uiScale.enabled=true
Restart SQL Developer.
If the interface still looks too small, or too big, change the uiScale value (untested).
I had the same issue,
if you still could not fix the problem with the given solutions, for me also worked the following:
Go to the Display Settings;
Go to scaling and "reset it": change to another scale, for example, 100% and then to your preferred scale;
This should force the SQL-Developer Window to your preferred scale, unfortunately you have to repeat this procedure after every new SQL-Developer launch.
change the setting from "Compatibility tab" as highlighted in the above post was the only way to make the icon much more larger
In case anyone landed here looking for the same answer for a newer version of Oracle SQL Developer (like I did)…
As of v22.2.1, for macOS the preferences are now located in Oracle SQL Developer --> Settings…
You can adjust the font style and size under Code Editor --> Fonts
Hope that helps!

How to Disable Internet Explorer Enterprise mode in IE

I want to disable the site , that is loading in Enterprise mode .
I have checked the Register key settings and Group policy object ,
Under Register:
{HKLM|HKCU}\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer} the Main is not exists
and under GPO the Enterprise mode option is not available.
In both the place it is not configured. Any suggestions?.
Thank you in advance.
It's possible, although unlikely, that the EnterpriseMode registry key is in {HKLM|HKCU}\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer (notice it's not in the Policy node).
Another possibility is that you have locally set the site to use Enterprise Mode. This is done by going to "Tools" -> "Enterprise Mode".
You can do this with the help of the Registry editor.
Open a regedit.exe from "Run" and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\EnterpriseMode.
You will find keys against the Enterprise mode in the right hand side panel, such as DEFAULT, ENABLE and SITELIST.
You will need to DELETE the keys called ENABLE and SITELIST.
Run your application again on IE and test. You must have the result.
NOTE: This solution could be temporary as the registry adds those keys back after a system restart!

User mycomputer\myloginName does not have required permissions

I am trying to access the report manager url for SSRS. But, I keep on getting the error below -
User mycomputer\myloginName does not have required permissions. Verify that sufficient permissions have been granted and Windows User Account Control (UAC) restrictions have been addressed.
I tried to run my browser as admin as described here - User '' does not have required permissions, SSRS 2008 on Windows 8
with no success. I also don't see the 'site settings' on top-right corner as mentioned by so many people. Also, I cannot go through the pain of reinstalling SQL server all over again. I don't want to disable UAC.
I am unable to do anything because of this problem.
How do I fix this problem?
This solution is for Internet Explorer. I don't know how it can be done for firefox or chrome.

See the solutions by Chirag Shah. Follow only up to step 13. I could not follow Step 14 because I found no home dialog box.
In the steps Chirag talks about some URL's. I don't really understand the meaning of any of those URL's. So, I used the URL under "Report Manager URL" in "Reporting Services Configuration Manager". It was
http://localhost:8080/MyReportServer.
The 8080 is a port number.
Once you finished this, go to the link below and follow all the steps -
http://www.soheib.com/technical-knowledge/sql-server-2012-reporting-services-uac-user-access-control/
In the 7th step, I saw a lot of check boxes. I selected all of them.
Finally, I can rest in peace. Hope it works for you too.
Also, when making the accounts described in the above link, you might see "BUILTIN\Administrators" account. Ignore it - thats what i did.
**END OF POST**
Steps taken from Chirag Shah's post -
Configure the report server for local administration. To access the report server and Report Manager locally, follow these steps:
Start Windows Internet Explorer.
On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
Click Security.
Click Trusted Sites.
Click Sites.
Under Add this Web site to the zone, type http://ServerName. If you are not using HTTPS for the default site, click to clear the Require server certification (https:) for all sites in this zone check box.
Click Add.
Repeat step 7f and step 7g to add the http localhost URL, and then click Close.
Note This step enables you to start Internet Explorer and open either the localhost or the network computer name of the server for both the Report Server application and the Report Manager application.
Create role assignments that explicitly grant you access together with full permissions. To do this, follow these steps:
Start Internet Explorer together with the Run as administrator option. To do this, click Start, click All Programs, right-click Internet Explorer, and then click Run as administrator.
Open Report Manager. By default, the Report Manager URL is http://ServerName/reports. If you use SQL Server Express with Advanced Services SP2, the Report Manager URL is http://ServerName/reports$sqlexpress. If you use a named instance of Reporting Services, the Report Manager URL is http://ServerName/reports$InstanceName
i was receiving blank page after i was logging exactly 3 times on my report server URL.
i've Turn Off Internet Explorer Enhanced Security. On different OS's it is in different location. find the location and turn it off.
I hope this will help you.

VS 2010 Server Explorer Database Showing No Tables

I'm working on a .Net application that needs to read from an Oracle 10g database behind Siebel. In VS 2010 Server Explorer, I've created a connection using the OracleClient type connector with a reference to the Oracle TNS service name as the "server name." The "Test Connection" button shows that the connection is successful. However, in the Server Explorer, when I go to expand the Tables, no tables are shown. I know for a fact that there are 3000+ tables in the database (thanks Siebel). Anyone know what's happening here? I'd like to create an Entity Framework 4.0 Entity Data Model...
Thanks for the help!
Andy
I've had the hardest time trying to solve this issue myself. There's very little useful documentation on the subject. Once you create a data connection and tested the connection click "Ok" then open up the server explorer window. Right click on the new oracle data connection and select "Change View". By default "My Objects" are selected, try selecting "User Objects" or "All Objects". Once you do, you should be able to see all of the objects under the data connection sub categories.
Right click on connections, go to Filters, the "displayed schemas" property by default, it's your logon name to the connection. Change the schemas to dbo schema and update the property. Then you should see all the tables. It worked for me :)
Do you have privileges on the schema and/or tables?
Don't know VS2010 but it sounds to me like there's a setting to show you only your schema by default.
UPDATE: Oracle just announced a new ODAC version, 11.2.0.1.1 Beta with support for VS 2010. You might give that a shot.
The same situation occurred for me, however this was with SQL Server 2008. Somehow the sql user account I was connecting with lost both read and write privileges. Once the account was given back those privileges I was able to access everything as expected.
