Enabling Drill-through Reports in Oracle BI EE 12.2.1.x

Essbase Studio is not provided with Essbase Release 12.2.1.x. To use Essbase Studio to deploy Essbase cubes and enable drill-through functionality with Essbase 12.2.1.x you must install EPM 11g on a separate host and complete some configuration steps.

To run Essbase Studio 11g with Essbase 12.2.1.x
  1. Install EPM 11.1.2.4 and apply the latest Opatch.
  2. Install BI 12.2.1 on a different host.
  3. Update the Essbase Studio server properties file with server.trustedAuthenticationHost=<HOSTNAME>:<PORT>, where HOSTNAME is the host where Essbase is running, and PORT is the Essbase port.

    Note:

    The server.properties file is located in ORACLE_INSTANCE/EssbaseStudio/essbasestudio1/bin in the EPM 11.1.2.4 environment.
  4. Stop and restart Essbase Studio server.
  5. Stop the BI instance.
  6. Copy cpld.jar from 11.1.2.4 EPM:
    ${EPM_ORACLE_HOME}/common/essbase-studio-sdk/11.1.2.0/lib

    To BI12c:

    ${MIDDLEWARE_HOME}/user_projects/domains/${DOMAIN_NAME}/lib
  7. Start Oracle Business Intelligence.

Note:

You cannot deploy and access drill-through reports on multiple BI Essbase instances. Multiple Essbase instances are not supported.
