OPEN RPD IN ONLINE MODE FOR LINUX HOSTED OBIEE

Running RPD in online mode is the best recommended approach for incremental developments. Though this is easy for Local OBIEE instances or for OBIEE instances which are hosted in Windows Environment, things are little different when your OBIEE is hosted on Linux Server.
To achieve this, we will have to create a System DSN first.
1. Open ODBC Data Sources from Administrator Tools or Type odbcad32 in Run Prompt
2. Select System DSN and click Add.
 DSN Creation
3.  Select Oracle BI Server in Create New DataSource
4. Enter the Name of ODBC connection. It is recommended to name DSN without Spaces or Special Characters
5. In the Oracle BI Server DSN Configuration step, mention Name and Server Details
MentionServerName
6. Confirm the Login ID and Password in next step
7. Check the option “Connect to Oracle BI Server to obtain default settings…” 
8. Click Finish
You are ready now to play with your RPD in Online Mode.
Happy Learning
