Oracle BI - RPD Change Java Tool

Hello World!

This is my first JAVA tool for Oracle BI, so "Hello World!" :)

I had to change RPD very frequently in NQSConfig.INI and restart services. This tool helps people working on OBIEE on Windows system and looking for a shortcut to change RPD and restart services on just one click or one line of command.


System Requirements:

• Microsoft Windows 98 / XP / Vista
• JRE 1.6 or above
  
• Oracle BI EE 10g
  

How to use?

Type java –jar ChangeRPD.jar <RPDFileName> [Restart OBI Server [Restart OBI Presentation Server [NQSConfig File]]]

RPDFilename: Name of RPD file including ".rpd" extension. Parameter is required.

Restart OBI Server: Y restarts Oracle BI Server. Default is not to restart the server. Parameter is optional.

Restart OBI Presentation Server: Y restarts Oracle BI Server. Default is not to restart the server. Parameter is optional.

NQSConfig File: NQSConfig File is path to NQSConfig.INI including filename. Default is C:\OracleBI\server\Config\NQSConfig.INI. Parameter is optional.

Type java –jar ChangeRPD.jar help gives usage direction.

This is how I use it. I have created a .bat file


########### CR.BAT ###########

java –jar ChangeRPD.jar %1 %2 %3 %4

##############################


Then, I copied CR.BAT and ChangeRPD.jar to C:\WINDOWS.



Example:

To change RPD, I type CR samplesales.rpd Y

That changes Star    =    samplesales.rpd into the config file and restarts Oracle BI Server.
