Siebel new LDAP adapter integration with BI Publisher

Hi All!!
We have configured our Siebel (8.1.1.3) security adapter with LDAP. BI Publisher is using Siebel security model.
We had to clone our AOM (fins_esn which is using the security adapter LDAP) to finsxx_esn because we are migrating the AD 2000 to 2008 (we are also changing the domain). The roll out will last 2 month, users will be migrated by branch, it wont be a big bang.
We have to generate a new LDAP security adapter to authenticate users who are logging to finsxx_esn to the AD 2008 (AD 2008 is on a diferent domain than AD 2000. This is working for application autehtication, no problems found here)
On a standalone environment report generation is working. But for a distributed environment (1 AOM, 1 NAOM, 1 Web Server) is not working.
Does anyone knows how to integrate to BI Publisher when you have two LDAP security adapters on Siebel Application? Or is there any authentication method to use instead of "Siebel Security" so as to achieve this?
Regards

We actually ran into a similar problem where I work. I created a support web ticket for our issue and the response is that BIP 11G is not supported for integration with Siebel 8.1, or any other version for that matter. Oracle is currently working on a fix to integrated the latest version of Siebel with BIP.
There advice to me was to downgrade to BIP 10G for the time being.

  • Integration With BI Publisher

    I am following steps in integration with BI Publisher , we have a problem when trying to import
    PublicReportService_v11.wsdl , it takes so long time and then raise an error :
    A record that contains identical values to the record you have created already exists.while creating PublicReportService_v11 web service
    any one have suggestions my siebel tools 8.1.1.9
    Regards

    before importing delete / rename PublicReportService under business services, and also delete/rename all the IO for project XMLP Integration. Make sure there are no other Siebel repositories existing except Siebel Repository (no backups). Then import the WSDL.

  • JCA adapter Integration with SOA suite

    Hi all,
    Where can I find documentation or reference regarding integration of third party adapter with SOA suite?
    There is an option of Third Party Adapter in SOA project of JDeveloper. When I drag it onto the composite.xml file, a window comes up asking for wsdl, jca files, etc. So I would like to know if there is any example or tutorial on how to integrate a third party adapter with SOA suite. Thanks.
    Regards,
    K.Hein

    Thanks Anuj!
    It seems like a new way of integrating JCA adapter to SOA suite.
    Actually, I was only aware of integrating as a third party adapter as mentioned in this article (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/luttikhuizen-adapters-091679.html) which require wsdl and jca files.
    Are there any difference between those two approaches? Which would be the recommended approach for JCA adapter integration with SOA? Thanks again for your informative replies.

  • Integration with XML Publisher

    Has anyone found out or used the integration with XML Publisher? I am using the Sourcing product and it can generate report output based on XML Publisher directly from an OAF page. I was wondering how that is done.
    Anyone know?

    I had a similar query - I heard that AR, GL, and AP (11i10) are not compatible with XML Publisher - is this true? I thought was the XML Publisher was independent of modules.
    Pls share any experience with the Publisher tool - challenges, installation, comparison to Optio, etc.
    Thanks, Vishnu

  • Siebel 8.1 integration with BI Publisher 11g

    Hello,
    I'm currently trying to integrate BI Publisher reporting with Siebel 8.1 at work. We've followed the guide named " [BI Publisher for Siebel Applications Guide|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14004_01/books/Reports/ReportsTOC.html] ", which you can find in the Oracle BI Publisher documentation website: [http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-publisher/documentation/index.html].
    The problem is that this guide is meant to be used with the Oracle 10g version and we are using BI Publisher 11.1.1.5.0 (client's request).
    We installed the new version without problems and reached the step "[Copying JAR Files to the Oracle BI Publisher Server|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14004_01/books/Reports/ReportsIntegrate11.html#wp551748]".
    But since BI Publisher 11g runs on a Web Logic Server, instead of an Oracle Application Server (correct me if I'm wrong, I'm kind of new to the whole Oracle world), the file structures have changed and we cannot find the directory where we're supposed to copy those JAR files.
    I kept reading the guide, in case we could skip this step and maybe find where those files are supposed to be later... but then again I found myself in a similar problem, since I need to place a Siebel WSDL file in a BI Publisher directory for importing, which I cannot find either.
    Does anybody know how to accomplish this task or if it is even possible to use these software versions together? Could anyone at least point us to the right direction on where to look for this information?
    Thank you in advance.

  • Discoverer Integration with BI Publisher now available

    Key benefits of integration of BI Publisher with Discoverer:
    - Create highly formatted reports based on your Discoverer worksheets (Relational and OLAP)
    - Schedule and Distribute these reports in a variety of formats (e.g. HTML, PDF) via email
    On the BI Publisher side, this integration requires BI EE 10.1.3.3 or BI Publisher standalone 10.1.3.3:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/htdocs/101320bi.html
    There is documentation about this integration in the New Features guide:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/e10416/discointeg.htm#BABIDJBC
    On the Discoverer side, you will also need to request a Discoverer one-off patch (password protected) from Oracle Support that adds the web services component to your Discoverer system – the patch is number 9334029. You will need to install this on top of a 10.1.2.2 Discoverer install that has been configured to use Oracle Internet Directory. Detailed configuration instructions are available in the one-off patch documentation.

    Did anyone install this patch and make the integration with BIP work?
    I installed the patch (on linux) using opatch apply as indicated in the patch README and opatch says that patch applied successfully. Now if I try to test the web service using http://host:port/discoverer/wsi as mentioned on page 11-2 of OBI New Features guide 10.1.3.3, I get a bunch of java errors like
    500 Internal Server Error

  • OIM 11.1.1.5.0 + BP03 Integration with BI Publisher 11.1.1.5.0

    Folks,
    Has anyone been successful in integrating BIP 11.1.1.5.0 with OIM 11g? I have recently integrated BIP 11g with OIM11g for reporting. After doing all the necessary configurations as mentioned in the OIM 11g developers guide and BP03 read me document, I am able to see the reports structure in BIP. Also I could execute few of the reports like Access Policy details, Role membership etc. .
    But none of the user reports are working. It always shows up a blank screen and no activity in logs either. I’m pretty sure that I have configured that BIP user properly and he has all the rights to execute the reports, in fact I have assigned all the available functional roles to the BIP user.
    Has anyone of you faced such an issue earlier?
    Appreciate your support!
    Thanks
    Sid

    Hi Sidharth,
    Instaed of BIP 11.1.1.5.0, go for BIP 10g, as it is certified with OIM 11.1.1.5. We integrated BIP 10g successfully.
    Hope this helps

  • Webcenter dicussion forum - Ldap Group Integration with JSSO

    Hi,
    We want to implement LDAP Group integration for the authorization purposes in
    webcenter Jive Disucussions deployed in our IAS 10.1.3.2 application server.
    Though jive provides support for the same, yet the JIve documentation says
    that we need to implement the JIve's LDAP User authentication steps in order
    to leverage LDAP Groups integration. In case of Webcenter if we use Java SSO
    for the authentication purpose, we need opt for the 'Default' in the Jive
    Admin's authentication page instead of LDAP settings. Opting for 'Default'
    scheme doesn't allow us to configure the LDAP group settings. We are not able
    find any documentation for LDAP Group Integration along with Java SSO. Could
    provide us the steps required for the same? Or has anyone tried the same?
    Thanks and Regards,
    ABhijit

    Hi Abhijit,
    You can ignore 'Default', and implement your own user authentication mechanism, which can include LDAP group settings. You will have to follow:
    - OC4J security documentation for using Java SSO in your own implementation (I think this is the right link - confirm the version numbers - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B32110_01/web.1013/b28957/javasso.htm#BABEJFDI)
    - Jive documentation for implementing user authentication

  • Custom JCA Adapter integration with BPEL

    The stock FTP Adapter provided with BPEL does not have a feature I require, so I am creating a custom JCA FTP adapter that does only one thing: when it is invoked, it polls a directory for any existing files, and then returns the number of files in that directory.
    The Adapter Developer Cookbook ( http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/integration/adapters/pdf/Adapter%20Development%20cookbook.pdf ) is about as clear as mud, and hasn't been updated for 10.1.3.
    Are there any other resources that explain how you go from having your .java source files for your JCA adapter to having a working custom adapter in BPEL?

    Hello Tlwi,
    I guess you already figured out of writing custom JCA adapter, do you mind sharing your thoughs or document you may have. I tried to follow the cookbook, but was really looking for sample template code which I can change to make my own adapter.
    Thanks,

  • EBS Security Integration with BI Publisher

    Hi All,
    I have few questions regarding integration of EBS Security with BIP. I went through the following document Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher.
    and have following questions.
    -- Upon on logging on into BIP after integration with EBS should I assign the three roles of BI i.e. BI Administrator, BI Author and BI Conusmer to all EBS roles for catalog permission set up.
    Below is my requirement. EBS user logging into BIP
    a) Set of Users should have to build reports , publish on dashboard etc.
    b)Set of users need only view reports i.e. read only.
    c) One User should have Admin privileges.
    How do I associated above with EBS roles. Should I assign BI roles to EBS roles in EM and give catalog permissions? Any thoughts will be really appreciated.
    Thanks
    SYK

    have you got a response for this? We are having the same issue after following everything as well.

  • Problem Creating Partner Link for Adapter Integrating with Tuxedo using JCA

    Hi All,
    This is the first time that I am working on integration tools. I will explain in brief the problem.
    There will be a legacy system (Tuxedo) running which connect to legacy database for requests. I am able to connect to that legacy system using Attunity Studio for getting the response back. Which is working fine.
    Now I want that to integrate with BPEL PM 10.1.2 using JCA. For this I followed this URL (http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/oc4j/904/how_to/oc4j-jca-tux/onjava-jca.html). What happens here is, a simple servlet invokes a Session Bean that interacts the Attunity Server using the JCA. For that I am using oc4j container of BPEL PM 10.1.2. I could able to work it fine.
    For working with BPEL, I have created synchronous process, when try to create Partner link using Adapter service from WSIL browser, it is not coming in.
    Am I missed any important configuration at BPEL PM end.
    For doing this a followed the "tutorial 2" @ http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/integration/adapters/dev_support.html
    In exact way, above provided tutorial 2 PDF, I failed at step "Configuring a BPEL Service to invoke the above Adapter Service" on page 11.
    Your help is highly appreciated
    Thanks

    Something to note. I tried adding the same BPEL services as partner links to a new application and new project on two other developer's workstations, and the creation of the partner links were successful.

  • APEX integration with BI Publisher

    I am attempting to integrate our APEX applications to BI Publisher and replace our Oracle Reports.
    We are using
    APEX 4.0 .2.00.07
    BI Publisher Release 10.1.3.4
    IE 7.0.5730.13
    I setup a simple report query in APEX shared components. The report query has only one source query. I pressed the test report button and the default BIP report came up successfully.
    I then created an rtf document using Word 2003 and the BIP plug-ins. All I did was create two fields on the rtf and saved the report on my desktop as a .rtf.
    I then created a report layout in APEX and imported the .rft report layout successfully.
    I pointed my report query to the new .rtf layout and pressed the test report button and it work successfully.
    I then created a button as “redirect to URL’ on an APEX page and created the http: url with the suggested print URL in the report query.
    I ran my APEX application and went to the page with the report button. I clicked the button and the report came up fine.
    I had another colleague sign into the APEX application and when he pressed the report button on the page all he got was a black browser window. We tested with other colleagues and got mixed results. Some got the report to appear others just a blank page.
    We tried the query in both inline and attachment view with the same results.
    What was interesting is that everyone was able to run the report within the report query clicking the “Test Report” button.
    We are out of ideas on how to resolve this issue.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    Frank

    Frank,
    I had the exact problem when I uploaded and replaced (with the same name) an existing rtf template.
    Try the following:
    Rename the template and generate a new url to use in the button click.

  • LDAP (OID) integration with java appilcation

    OID issue Urgent
    Currently we are using the OID-LDAP as the repository for storing username, passwds
    and other attributes. All applications that need authentication will essentially
    be using the OID.
    In our effort to do the same we are encountering the following problems
    - Creation of an identity corresponding the application
    - Giving this identity certain LDAP authorizations (Which authorizations are these)
    We have been successful creating LDAP entries for users and getting the initial
    JNDI contexts to do the lookups.
    When we are creating the user lookup from java code using oracle.ldap.util.User pakage ,
    at the run time it's throwing error(no classfound oracle/net/config/ConfigException ).
    why and where this is needed and how to resolve that. is that because we haven't added
    the application in oid and configured authorizations for it.
    Need an urgent answer to this since all applications will be using LDAP(OID).
    here is code of java which tries to connect to OID.
