Usage Tracking in OBIEE 11.1.1.6

Unlike previous versions of OBIEE, usage tracking is now configured and maintained, not through the NQSCONFIG.INI file, but through enterprise manager.

So get busy fire up your enterprise manager http://......:7001:/em

and on the left hand side expand the Weblogic Domain
and once that has opened, the bifoundation_domain.

You should see two entries under bifoundation_domain (AdminServer and bi_cluster), right click on AdminServer and select System Mbean Browser.

The right hand side of the screen should now fill.

We are looking for the following mbean
Application Defined Mbeans

• oracle.biee.admin

Opening this up we see some properties we can edit. Remember to change any settings we need to take out an edit lock and then release it one done.
