11g BI Publisher Report - Disable Schedule option

Hi,
Currently we have moved our BI Publisher catalog objects to the BI catalog and security is controlled through the web catalog for the BI publisher reports also.
As part of it, we have given 'Read' only access to the BI publisher report and the user do not see any 'Edit' option.
But the issue is that he is able to schedule the reports.
Is there a way to disable that 'schedule' option?
Thanks

from the catalog manager or from analytics url select the folder under which u have bipublisher reports and then click on permissions for the entire folder or for the report and then select custom it will show u list of options like create,delete,run,schedule,view,etc so take out(uncheck) that schedule option thats it

Moving 11g BI Publisher Reports to Shared Folders in same instance.

Hi ,
I have to move BI Publishers reports from MY Folders to the Shared Folders in the same BI Publisher instance.
I just wanted to know do we have to move Data Model associated with the Report as well?
As of now i have just moved the BIP Reports and they are working fine, but was unsure on this Data Model part.
Can someone throw light on whats the good practise related to moving Reports in BI Publisher.
Thanks

Should i move the data model in the Reports Folder only, under Shared Folders?
just wanted to know the best practise as to how data model and reports are stored under Shared folders as in separate folders or everything in the same folder.Yes the best practice is to create a folder called BIP Reports(shared folder) -> under which you can create 2 folders as Data Model and Data Template
>
Also how do i make sure that these Reports under Shared Folders are pointing to the Data Model in the Shared Folders and not to the Data Model of My Folders?
Thanks
AshishTo make sure the data template/report is pointed to data model in shared folder go to the corresponding report and from right pane under the report you see options as open schedule jobs job history edit more
select edit -> opens a new window -> from top you see a magnifier icon click on that opens a new window now select the datamodel from shared folder for the corresponding report thats it.
hope it helps

Is there a way to deny access to BI Publisher -Report job in OBIEE 11g?

Thank you all for the helpful information in the posts. I am trying to disable or not to display Report job under published reporting in OBIEE 11g. Could any one of you you please help me with the steps?
My issue:
I am pretty new to OBIEE and we are using OBIEE 11g when the user clicks on the new drop down, i am trying to disable or turnoff Report job under published reporting for a user group. I tried to find the relevant components for published reporting to deny access to report job under manage privileges but no luck i couldn't find any and i realized that i should be looking into Manage Bi publisher roles and responsibilities but i cannot remove the roles. Please help me with the steps and the options where i need to go and what i should do to not to display the report job. Your help is greatly appreciated, if i am not clear please let me know i will try to rephrase or explain it better
FYI
We are using LDAP for user creation and we have created a new group and created a test user belongs to that group and that user should not see the Report job. When i am seeing the users roles and responsibilities it is also showing me other two roles authenticated user role and BI consumer role for the test user, when i asked the admin guy dealing with LDAP he said he only associated the user with that only new group. Please advice
Thanks,
Ravi

In EM, go to Weblogic Domain, right click on bifoundation_domain and on the Security menu choose Application Policies.
Set Application Stripe to obi and click the blue arrow search button.
Highlight BIConsumer and click Edit.
Under Permissions locate Resource Name oracle.bi.publisher.scheduleReport. Highlight this and click Delete...
Click OK (top right corner).
Now log your user out of OBIEE and back in again, and the option should have disappeared from their New menu.

Excel output for the xml publisher report when it is [b]scheduled [/b]

How to get the excel output for the xml publisher report when it is scheduled by a apps user? Like what is the user profile option (for the apps user who runs the report) and what are the other things that needs to be taken care of so that only this xml publisher report run by this apps user produces a EXCEL output (When scheduled) ???
Really appreciate it if any one can help me in this regards.
Thanks
Munna

Hi Munna,
For eBusiness Suite (apps user) the report output is stored the same way whether executed immediately or scheduled.,To get excel set the options > output format to Excel. Only the user that submitted the report can view it, or you can get the output file from the server. Or you can set the notify option so that a Workflow Notification is sent when the request completes.

Gareth

Can I pass parameters from a dashboard via a dashboard prompt and presentation variable to publisher report based on a data model with select statements in OBIEE 11g ?

I have a publisher 11g (v 11.1.1.7) report with a single parameter. The report is based on a data model not a subject area. I created a dashboard put a dashboard prompt and link to the report in separate section on the same page. The dashboard prompt sets a presentation variable named the same as the parameter in the report.
The problem was when I created the dashboard prompt, it forced me to select a subject area which I did (though did not want to) and then I created both a column and variable prompts. But clicking on the
report link completely ignored the value that I thought would be passed in the presentation variable to the report.
Side note : My report uses a pdf template for its layout where I have mapped the columns names from my data model to the form fields on the pdf form. I noticed that if I create a publisher report based on a subject area, then I do not have the choice to choose a PDF as a template type for my layout. (I only see BI Publisher Template as a choice).
I see some documentation online that suggest it could be done in 10g.
Thanks
M. Jamal

Ok,
I just tried that and it still doesn't pass anything to the prompt.
I changed the prompt to an edit field and I made the following weblink but when i click the link from an account it doesn't put anything in the prompt and all data for all accounts is shown.
This is the URL maybe I messed something up...

BO XIr3 scurity - disable scheduling and report save as output

Good afternoon
I am administering a Business OBjects Xir3 system. I am creating users and groups and applying some base level security via access levels. At the moment I am tryign to stop users from scheduling or rescheduling reports and to stop them saving reports as anything but pdf output.
To achieve this I created and access level that I have assigned to the group in which the users are members:
In the access level I have specified (under general) to disable the ability to schedule or reschedule any reports
I have have denied access to schedule from applications\performance management
Under content\web intelligence report I have specified to override general global and deined access to all scheduling options here also
None of this appears to have worked users still have the option to schedule form the actions menu and the right click.
For the restricted save as ouput i have denied the option to save as csv and xls under Under content\web intelligence report but again this has not taken effect. Have i missed an option to check or have i missed something really obvious about the setup of BO XIr3
any help greatly appreciated
Chris

Hi Chris,
the workflow is the following:
1. Define the access levels ( You have done this)
2. Assign the access levels to users/groups for accessing specific objects (Folders, Reports, Groups, Users, Applications etc.).
I must admit that you are right, some BOBJ authorizations imply the kind of objects they can be applied to. But on the other hand some authorizations do make sense for several kinds of objects. The implementation of the BOBJ authorization scheme requires that you explicitely define the object level your access level should be applied to.
So I suggest that to assign the defined access levels at the "All Folders" level to the related Users/Groups in your organisation.
Just log on the CMC, select "Folders" from the drop-down menue, just highlight one of the folders, invoke the context menue (by pressing the right mouse button) and navigate to Manage->Security->All Folders Security . You can do there the access level assignment for your principals (ie. users or groups).

Ho to create Publications Reports using OBIEE 11g BI Publisher

Hi All,
I have a report, actually a publication to be printed on pdf. The content is basically lot of formatted text such as in any text book or manual such as table of contents, index, all type of graphs/charts , tabular information with numbers, foot notes at the bottom etc, etc. It looks like any user manual.
Is such report possible in OBI 11g BI publisher? If yes, then how to do data modeling for such report to display in BI publisher report?
The source of those is in Essbase cube. Hw to create data model so as to print the information (so that related paragraphs are one after other, with embedded charts, tables etc) in logically correct sequence?. Are there any cube deisgn factors which can affect the publisher data model? wht r those?
The amount of text, with grapth, tables is very huge as in any manual.
I want to suggest tool to customer for surch publication report. Customer has purchased OBI 11g for reporting suite which includes BI publisher.., and Hyoperion Essabse application for budget planning.
ab
Can such report be done in OBI 11g Answers? IF it can be done both Publisher, as well as Answers, then which one would be better option?
Can Hyperion Financial Reporting tool can do this kind of report?
Need your suggestions inputs...
If not then, are there any tools the market which can do such report development, which I can suggest to the customer..
Thanks
Santosh

Santosh,
Yes. It is possible to create such "books" using BI Publisher. It will take some effort as it needs planning and some custom code but definitely possible.
One of the key features to use is "Book Binding" along with BI Publisher's power to source information from different data sources.
A good starting point for this is:
http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/entry/bookbindng_samples
I have done this myself for a couple of customers and produced all features you are asking: Table of Contents, Footers, Charts, even hyperlinks.

Launch a BI Publisher Report from ODI 11g

Hello,
I have a requirement where after a data load completes in ODI, a BI Publisher report should be launched which will email some pdf output to users.
Is there a way in ODI that as the last step in the data load process, I can launch a BI Publisher report? We are using OBIEE and BI Publisher is part of that.
Any pointers appreciated.
Thanks,
Manish

Hi Manish,
Sorry not been on here for a while.
In ODI you can create an ODI Package which exposes a bunch of 'ODITools' , one of these being the aforementioned ODIInvokeWebService - you just plug in your parameters and it fires the message across - See docs here : http://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1212/odi/ODIDG/app_tools.htm#ODIDG858
Once the package is working, you can create a scenario of this package in ODI. Once you have the scenario than you can invoke this from ODI directly or from the command line, or on a schedule, or even via Webservices (but I'd assume you'd just invoke BIP directly in this case !)
Good luck.

Printing BI Publisher report from OAF Page WITHOUT Preview or Save Option

I have a requirement to print a BI Publisher Report on the invoke of a Button from a OAF Page. I have followed the method suggested in the below link to integrate OAF and BI Publisher.-
http://apps2fusion.com/at/51-ps/260-integrating-xml-publisher-and-oa-framework
In this scenario, I already developed Data Definition (XML) and Template (RTF) for the report and a self service page with 'Generate PDF' button. When the button is clicked the template is getting filled with the data from the database and displaying the PDF output. A dialog box with 'Open/Save/Cancel' appears before the PDF document is shown.
But my requirement is to avoid this dialog box and Save option so when the button is clicked the document has to be directly sent to the printer.
Is there anyway to achieve this? Please help as this is very urgent..
Thanks,
Naren

Naveen,
You need to read the documentation here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-publisher/documentation/xmlpdocs-084437.html
All of the information you need is in these:
Administration and Developer's Guide
Report Designer's Guide
JavaDocs
With the BI publisher (XML publisher) Java APIs, you can call a data template with parameters and get the XML from that.
For an example that should be very close to what you need to do, see the comments section of this page:
http://apps2fusion.com/at/ps/294-bi-publisher-document-viewer-common-region-embeded-report-output-in-oa-framework-page-part-2
Find the comment titled: "Alternative: BlobDomain from data template"
The great thing about using a Data Template is that, while you are NOT concurrent program dependent, you can still set up a concurrent program to run it for other purposes if you wish. Data Templates offer a lot more flexibility.

How to disable drill option for one column in the WebI Report

Hi,
How to disable drill option in a column in WebI?
When the Drill option is enabled by default all the column in the report will have that enabled,
I ahve added Hierarchy in the Custom hierarhcy list in Universe.
I am using BOXI3.1 WebI Reports.
But I wanted only the hierarchy column to have that drill option enabled, rest all column should display text data.
PLease let me know if you have any idea.
Thanks in advance.
Regards

Cretae the variable at the report level (may be with the same definiton) and then use that variable in the table
to disable the drill. It will be displayed as normal text object.
Drill functionality is enabled only on the objetcs coming from the universe.
Regards,
Rohit
