Enable the Usage Tracking Feature in the NQSConfig.INI File

  1. Go to OBIEE_HOME/user_projects/domains/bi_domain/config/fmwconfig/biconfig/OBIS/.
  2. Open the NQSConfig.INI file in a text editor.
  3. In the [Usage Tracking] section set the ENABLE parameter to YES.
  4. Set the DIRECT_INSERT parameter to YES.
  5. Set the PHYSICAL_TABLE_NAME parameter to point to the S_NQ_ACCT table in the prefix_BIPLATFORM schema in the following format: "Database"."Catalog"."Schema"."Table";

    Use the database, catalog, schema, and table names predefined in the Oracle Healthcare Foundation SSA RPD file:

    • Database: "OHF Usage Tracking"
    • Catalog: "Catalog"
    • Schema: "dbo"
    • Table Name: "S_NQ_ACCT"
  6. Set the CONNECTION_POOL parameter in the following format "Database"."Connection Pool";

    Use the database and connection pool values predefined in the Oracle Healthcare Foundation SSA RPD file:

    • Database: "OHF Usage Tracking"
    • Connection Pool: "OHF Usage Tracking Connection Pool"
  7. Uncomment the INIT_BLOCK_TABLE_NAME parameter and set it to point to the S_NQ_INITBLOCK table in the prefix_BIPLATFORM schema in the following format: "Database"."Catalog"."Schema"."Table";

    Use the following values:

    • Database: "OHF Usage Tracking"
    • Catalog: "Catalog"
    • Schema: "dbo"
    • Table Name: "S_NQ_INITBLOCK"
  8. Uncomment the INIT_BLOCK_CONNECTION_POOL parameter and set it to refer to the connection pool for writing statuses to the S_NQ_INITBLOCK table in the prefix_BIPLATFORM schema in the following format: "Database"."Connection Pool";

    Use the database and connection pool values predefined in the Oracle Healthcare Foundation SSA RPD file:

    • Database: "OHF Usage Tracking"
    • Connection Pool: "OHF Usage Tracking Connection Pool"

    The above parameters should be set as below:

    ===============================================================================
     # Parameters used for inserting data into the table (i.e. DIRECT_INSERT = YES).
     # Init-Block Tracking Options are commented out and as a result disabled.
     # To enable Init-Block Tracking Feature, define the two parameters for
     # Init-Block, INIT_BLOCK_TABLE_NAME and INIT_BLOCK_CONNECTION_POOL.
     PHYSICAL_TABLE_NAME = "OHF Usage Tracking"."Catalog"."dbo"."S_NQ_ACCT"; # Or "Database"."Schema"."Table" ;
     CONNECTION_POOL = "OHF Usage Tracking"."OHF Usage Tracking Connection Pool";
     INIT_BLOCK_TABLE_NAME = "OHF Usage Tracking"."Catalog"."dbo"."S_NQ_INITBLOCK" ; # Or "<Database>"."<Schema>"."<Table>" ;
     INIT_BLOCK_CONNECTION_POOL = "OHF Usage Tracking"."OHF Usage Tracking Connection Pool";
  9. Stop and restart the Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition Services using the stop and start scripts available in OBIEE_HOME/user_projects/domains/bi_domain/bitools/bin.
