You may encounter an ImportMeFirst error while creating a pivot table with Visual Analyzer. This error can occur due to any of the following reasons:
-
The front-end host is not configured.
-
The front-end host is configured without a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN).
-
The front-end host is not configured and the node manager listen address is not qualified.
To resolve this error:
- Check whether the EndPoint URLs are returning a hostname or FQDN by entering the following command:
(UNIX) JDK_HOME/java -jar bi/endpointmanager/jlib/bi-endpointmanager-impl.jar /scratch/DOMAIN_HOME /scratch/ORACLE_HOME
(Windows) JDK_HOME\java -jar bi\endpointmanager\jlib\bi-endpointmanager-impl.jar \scratch\DOMAIN_HOME \scratch\ORACLE_HOME
Sample output:
BIANALYTICS.bi_server1 - custom channel bi_internal_channel1
Frontend: http://adminserver1:9502/analytics
- Check whether the WebLogic Scripting Tool is returning a hostname or FQDN by entering the following commands:
wls:/offline> import socket
wls:/offline> socket.getfqdn()
Sample output:
'adminserver1'
- Change the listen address for the problematic Node Manager by using the WebLogic Scripting Tool or through the WebLogic Console.
- Restart the servers and processes.
- Verify whether the WebLogic Scripting Tool is returning the FQDN by entering the following command:
hostname -f
Note:
You must make sure that the hostname resolves to a FQDN or you use the Frontend Load Balancer for server-side configuration.
