OBIEE - Enable evaluate


In the most recent incarnations of OBIEE, when you install, by default all EVALUATE functionality is disabled.

That means that any analysis that uses the evaluate functionality will throw an error like

"[nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. EVALUATE_SUPPORT_LEVEL inside NQSConfig.INI is not set to support EVALUATE. (HY000)

To enable this again you will need to edit the NQSConfig.ini file in
{MW_HOME}\instances\instance1\config\OracleBIServerComponent\coreapplication_obis1

and edit the EVALUATE_SUPPORT_LEVEL from the zero default to one of the settings allowed.

# EVALUATE_SUPPORT_LEVEL:
# 1: evaluate is supported for users with manageRepositories permssion
# 2: evaluate is supported for any user.
# other: evaluate is not supported if the value is anything else.

EVALUATE_SUPPORT_LEVEL = 2;  

The evaluate functionality is seen a potential security weakness, as it allows the analyses running as abstracted entities to dive right into the database.

    1. If NQSConfig.ini does not have the EVALUATE_SUPPORT_LEVEL , can we insert it with a value of 2
