The default password for the opva.rpd repository file is opva1234. You should change this password, as per your requirement prior to deployment in Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition, using the Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition Administrator Tool. You must remember to use this password in the steps mentioned below.

Oracle Business Intelligence Application Archive (BAR) file is a compressed archive file that contains a cohesive set of Oracle Business Intelligence metadata artifacts (data model, content model, and authorization model). The Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition BAR file for Oracle Argus Analytics is available at the following location:

<Argus Analytics Home>\report\ssi.bar

A BAR file contains the following Oracle Business Intelligence application module artifacts:

  • Data model metadata for the Oracle Business Intelligence Server. This metadata is xml-based but functionally equivalent to an .RPD file.
  • Presentation Services catalog metadata for a service instance.
  • Security policy metadata containing application role and application role memberships, and permission and permission set grants for a service instance.
  • A manifest file declaring the dependencies of the BAR file.

Note:

Importig a BAR file replaces all the Catalog files, RPD files, and the Security Model in an existing Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition instance with any customization.

It is recommended that the BAR file import is done on a new Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition instance.
