Upload the OBIEE report catalog

If you are upgrading from an existing Oracle Business Intelligence account and backed up your existing custom reports, upload the report catalog archive.

Note:

The following steps are only needed if you had custom reports in OBIEE and performed a backup of the report catalog as described in Back up existing OBIEE topics reports.

1. Locate the backup OBIEE catalog file created in Back up existing OBIEE topics reports, for example: Topics_legacy.catalog.
2. Using an Oracle Empirica Signal username that has a BI or superuser privilege, log into Oracle Analytics Server using the following URL:
   http://<OASserver name>:<OA_port>/analytics

   For example: http://<servername>:9502/analytics

   The Oracle Analytics screen appears.
3. Click the Catalog link at the top.
4. In the Folders section on the left, expand SharedFolders.
5. In the Tasks section on the bottom left, click Unarchive.
6. In the Unarchive window, click Browse.
7. Locate the Topics_legacy.catalog file and click OK.
   A new folder named Topics_legacy appears under SharedFolders.

   The list of old reports appears under Topics_legacy/Analysis Reports. The reports cannot be run in OAS until you recreate them as described at Recreate custom reports.

   To view the definition of a report, click Edit under a report name and then click the Criteria tab.
