Unable To Create Session Variable Using Obiee 11.1.1.5 Admin Tool issue

Hi,
   

An interesting thing happen, when I was trying to choose a connection pool for creating a Session variable Init Block , connection pool Select button was disabled. This functionality worked in 11.1.1.3. Just to avoid any doubt I restarted admin tool, followed by machine restart, but end result didn’t change. After looking around, I remembered that in one of the metalink they talked about “Allow First Connection for init block”. I tried that option and it work . Below are the details ::

Issue :

Select button is disabled when trying to choose a connection pool for creating a Session variable Init Block

Solution:

Check “Allow First Connection for init block” to true

For setting “Allow First Connection for init block”  follow below steps :

1. In the Administration Tool, select Tools, then select Options to display the Options dialog.

2. On the General tab, select ”Allow First Connection for init block. (this option is not a best practice and might cause performance issues.)

THanks
