Initialization blocks Execution Precedence in OBIEE 11g

Execution Precedence:

When a repository has multiple initialization blocks, you can set the order (establish the precedence) in which the blocks will be initialized.

First, you open the block that you want to be executed last and then add the initialization blocks that you want to be executed before the block you have open. 

For example, suppose a repository has two initialization blocks, A and B. You open initialization block B, and then specify that block A will execute before block B. This causes block A to execute according to block B's schedule, in addition to its own.

To establish execution precedence:

1. In the Administration Tool, select Manage, then select Variables.
   
2. In the Variable Manager dialog, double-click the last initialization block that you want to be initialized.
   
3. In the [Repository|Session] Variable Initialization Block dialog, click Edit Execution Precedence.
   
4. In the [Repository|Session] Variable Initialization Block Execution Precedence dialog, click Add.
   Add is only available if there are initialization blocks that have not yet been selected.
   
5. In the Browse dialog, select the blocks that should be initialized before the block that you have open, and then click OK.
   
6. To remove a block, in the [Repository|Session] Variable Initialization Block Execution Precedence dialog, select the block you want to remove and click Remove.
   
7. Click OK.
   
8. If you want the initialization block to be required, in the [Repository|Session] Variable Initialization Block dialog, select the Required for authentication option.
   
9. Click OK.
