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.

Use the following 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.
