OBIEE Repository Upload Issue - DESC_CODE_SERVER_EXCEPTION

Applicable to OBIEE 12c version(s)

Issue -
OBIEE 12c: Downloadrpd/Uploadrpd Failed: Failure in trying to acquire lock. Check bi-lcm-logs or diagnostics. Error Desc Code: DESC_CODE_SERVER_EXCEPTION

Cause - 
There can be any causes of the listed below:

• Empty  "service.xml" file  in  DOMAIN_HOME/bidata/service_instances/ssi/service.xml  (If file empty, replace it from working environment)
• Checked "Disallow RPD updates" will cause the issue. (If fine ignore)
• Corrupt "bi-lcm-rest.log.0.lck" file under DOMAIN_HOME/servers/bi_server1/logs  (rename it as backup, new file will auto generate once associated managed "bi_server1" server restarts).

Make necessary changes from any of the above issues & restart server components. Issue will be resolved.
