A BI Publisher Security Centre

Where do I find it? I don't have the option to create reports - and apparently need to grant myself privilege in this obscure piece of infrastructure.
This is on an OBIEE 10 platform.

You need to setup SA System in order for BI EE security to work with BI Publisher. Setting this up will fix the error that you are listing below. Couple of options for you.
1. Log an SR on supportweb to get sample RPD and table structure for the SA System
2. check the 7.8.x documentation. It had a better description of the SA System than the 10.1.3.2 documentation does.
3. I can email you an RPD and table structure that I have used.
The only thing BIP needs in SA system is user name, group name and user to group assignment. This is needed for two screens in BIP (Roles and Permissions and JDBC connections). It's a bit annoying to have to set this up, but two good things to note. If you setup SA System, then you have additional options for delivery of iBots (that's what SA System is really designed for). The other is that BIP's dependence on SA System is going away in a future release. So this will get easier soon.

BIP: Upload error (Invalid BI Publisher Security model SBL-RPT-50532)

Hi, We have Siebel 8.1.1.5 running and having trouble integrating with BI Publisher 10.1.3.4.2 . I have setup and configure BIP as per the instructions.
When we try to upload reports from Reports - Standard Templates View, getting the following error messages:
Invalid BI Publisher Security Model Setting (SBL-RPT-50532) && Error (null) invoking method (null) for business service (null).
I have setup the security model to siebel in BIP and able to login tot he console using SADMIN/SADMIN. All the required components are also online and updated the params as per the instructions.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi Hakan,
Please check whether your EAI Object manager is using different srf to one that application set to. In that case try to
set the EAI to same srf Or compile report stuff to that particular srf. And befiore that have you declared the Siebel securiy model setting in BIP.
Please reach me at [email protected] for any issues.
Thanks,
Ravi

BI publisher security mged by OBIEE can't access role (500 internal error)

Hello all,
I have set the BI Publisher security model to BI Server, after creating apropriate groups in the admin tool as described by the documentation. I restarted all the services. Now I have an admin user that can log in, but when trying to access the roles and authorizations page to grant access to folders, I get the following error :
500 Internal Server Error
Servlet error: An exception occurred. The current application deployment descriptors do not allow for including it in this response. Please consult the application log for details.
The log file says the following. In french, "table non résolue" simply means table unresolved (you guessed? ;) )

The SA System seems to be a subject area dedicated to users management. But this is where I get lost. I have no idea of whet to do to get things working. Most probably I have to give some more privileges to somebody... but which? to who? where???
any help much appreciated!!!

McAfee disabling / XP Security Centre 2012 Scarewa...

I've just had to do some major work to get over a big malware attack "XP Security Centre 2012". Really nasty one, disabled most of the functions on my PC under the guise of the normal XP Security Centre - literally it doesn't let you click on most of your systems functions or go on the internet, as your PC is bombarded with warnings that your PC is being keylogged, you are under attack, your identity is at risk etc, unless you buy the new version of XP Security 2012.
Although my normal IE icon and my BT Broadband icon was completely disabled, thankfully, the shortcutted version of Google Chrome on my desktop did let me on the internet to at least find a solution, at least in part.
I also found out that nasty as this is, all the messages displayed are pretty much fake, and it is a scare tactic to get you to buy this particular anti-spyware software - but quite effective I imagine to some people as it literally does disable your PC (but people please don't buy the software!).
I managed to stop the process through task manager, then I changed the system date to 7 days in future (as per advice on one website), logged off, logged on, ran some spyware/malware software (I think perversely enough the old AOL spyware that I got from when I used to be with AOL which still updates caught it - BT/Mcafee was no match for this one!!). So it got quarantined, then I changed the system date back again and logged back out/in, then my system ran slow until it ceased up. So I've just restored my machine back three days and it seems to be running almost OK.
Anyway, the relevance of this post to this forum, BT NetProtect Plus now seems to still show real-time scanning "at risk", when I click it to turn it on again it goes green for a few seconds "your PC is secure", only for it to turn red a few seconds later and turn off automatically.
Should the McAfee program have blocked this in the first place though? I gather this is quite a new variation of what appears to be an annual issue. I know Spyware is part of Mcafee although I think this was more Malware.
However, it is as crippling an issue as I've ever had - could something be put in place to catch this?
(if you google the words XP security 2012 there's plenty of cases detailing this)

Hi.
Not all anti-virus or other security packages will pick up everything as they will always be a step behind the scammers. Some packages perform better than others, and for different items.
Also these programs won't necessarily stop users from installing anything they want.
Frankly the question is how was this nasty installed in the first place ?
There are many "dodgy" sites out there, and also many popular sites have been caught out in the past with "malware" adverts being supplied by 3rd parties who were less than vigilant. Users may well assume that these packages are therefore fine to install.
Apart from having an up to date system, up to date anti-virus or other security package and firewall, one of the best defences (and indeed one of the worst!) is the end user.
Personally I don't use "paid for" packages, or the ones given as part of the deal with a computer or internet package. There are equally, if not better in some cases), free programs. Indeed Microsoft Security Essentials has a good name, and recommended, as are AVG (free version), Avast and a few others.

Error while confgiuring Siebel Bi Publisher Security Model..

Hi,
Steps Done
1)     Imported the BIPSiebelSecurityWS.XML
2)     Replaced Existing address with the specific address of the Siebel Server
3)     Enabled Local Super user checkbox, entered a Super user name and password
4)     Configured the Siebel Security Model by pointing the Siebel Web Service end point with Siebel Username/Pwd
5)     Restarted the Bipublisher
6)     When I try to login to Bi Publisher with Siebel Credentials I am getting the error
The server cannot be used due to configuration error, please contact admin..
Please let us know the necessary steps ..

Login using the credentilas used for super user. Siebel user do not work here, it will only fetch the responsibilities here as a roles for that super user.
Thanks,
Ravi kanth

BI Publisher Security

When I go into EM console and look at credentials in some walk-through's, I see credentials maps such as "oracle.bi.publisher", "oracle.bi.actions" and "oracle.wsm.security". Where do these come from other than creating them, and if creating them what username is assigned to them? On my install I have 2 maps, "oracle.bi. enterprise" and "oracle.bi.system". So I am guessing that "oracle.wsm.security" is for an external security setup and "oracle.bi.publisher" is for BI Publisher. How do I go about finding the key name for that..for example is publisher's key just publisher.user?
Edited by: J.A.M on Sep 19, 2011 1:55 PM

JAM,
These are referend to as credential keys and credential key mapping. They are part of the OPSS concept of security management, etc.
These credential keys are for the most part arbitrarily named although some like the example you pointed out, oracle.bi.system, are created and referenced specifically by an OOTB process and is basically required.
The other ones like oracle.bi.actions and other arbitrary ones like oracle.bi.EPM are created for reference in other associated libraries/applications. The one most popular for this usage is the Oracle BI 11g Action Framework. Creating a credential key allows you to create an "Account" in the ActionFrameworkConfig.xml file which makes a one-to-one reference for security. That account can then be used for one of the action framework registered content types such as connecting to EPM content via OBI 11g or connecting to a secured webservice.
If you want more info on this specifically you can look at hte action framework documentation,
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E21764_01/bi.1111/e16364/actions.htm#CHDDAFJJ
I hope this helps. Please toss some points my way if it does.

See this thread http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5438765 for some ideas. Though you can ignore the part of the thread where the OP becomes petulant about which forum it should appear in.
If the camera is not a network camera, then JMF might suffice. The JMF forum is located at (Java Media Framework Be warned though, that neither applets nor media handling are good topics for someone who is 'New To Java' to achieve.

Is that possible to publish a security policy in registry???

Hi all,
Can any one of you tell me if it is possible to publish security policy in owsm to registry.
If so, Kindly tell me how to go about that..

Not possible, and there are no apps. Put a passcode on your phone, as that is your only option.

BI Publisher Using BI Server Security

I have setup BI Publisher to use BI Server security which works well, I can even see the Admin Tab ;-)
My problem is that I can no longer access the Security>Roles and Permissions Tab. I get a HTTP 500 error.
Has anyone else come across this problem?
Thanks,
Matt

Cannot Select 'Siebel Security' when configuring BI Publisher

Hi,
Background: I am (attempting!) to configure a new reporting server for Siebel..
On the BI Publisher Console, there exists the following screen, I can't seem to add a screenshot, but you navigate to it via:
Admin > Security Configuration > section entitled 'Security Model'.
There is a drop-down there, and only the following options can be selected:
BI Publisher Security
LDAP
Oracle E-Business Suite
Oracle BI Server
Oracle Database
On the existing server, there exists and is selected, another option 'Siebel Security', and a whole bunch of settings I need to make
(presumably) are below that..
So my question is, why can't I select 'Siebel Security' in the drop-down?
I suspect I have missed some installation step or something?
Can anyone help with this one?

Thank you SO MUCH, Dave! I had entered cn=orcladmin in the Security Configuration screen and did not notice that it was saved to the xmlp-server-config.xml as orcladmin... I manually editted the xmlp-server-config.xml file to cn=orcladmin and it appears to be working now!
Why is the entry not saving correctly from the Security Configuration screen? Is this a bug?
Thanks again, Dawna.

Mail-merging from Oracle HRMS - Web ADI vs BI Publisher

Hi
I'm currently involved in a project to automate the production of candidate offer letters and contracts from HRMS for our shared HR service centre. The solution I've built to date uses custom database tables and PL/SQL to select the relevant text for the candidate based on a set of criteria, and views to supply the necessary data to Web ADI which then performs the actual merge into a template Microsoft Word document on demand from the end-user.
The issue we're facing is that the Web ADI to Word interface can't handle more than 64 merge fields (Word basically throws up an error saying the maximum number of fields has been exceeded) so I'm looking at alternatives which will still provide the same (or nearly the same) functionality in terms of mail-merging. From the looks of things it seems like BI Publisher could be a potential alternative; I do however have a few questions which I hope someone can answer!
1) How easily can BI Publisher be integrated with HRMS to provide such mail-merge functionality on demand? How would such integration be achieved e.g. concurrent program, button on the toolbar in HRMS?
2) How many merge fields can BI Publisher handle? Our largest letter has nearly 100 unique fields, a number which could go up or down over time.
3) I understand from looking at some of the tutorials and demos that an RTF template could be used as the basis for the mail merge - where would this be stored, on the database or the file system?
4) Are there any case studies out there which cover such an implementation of BI Publisher? This would be really useful as it would help in formulating a recommendation to my project manager!
Many thanks

Well, glad you got soemthing. Now I try to be more "properly" for you :)
Good that you are trying.
The LDAP users do not show up in my Web Logic console. Is a functionality available to allocate the LDAP users to Oracle user groups in web logic or do I expect too much?LDAP = what in your case, do you mean Active Directory .? or any other LDAP directory .?
You need to configure that in weblogic as one of the authentication providers if you have not done so yet, otherwise they cannot magically appear in WLS console.
So I am assuming you are expecting too much if you have not configured and trying to look for LDAP users. Let us know if you have already configured one but having trouble managing these users.
If the functionality (allocating LDAP users to groups) exists in the oracle web logic console,Even though you configure LDAP users in WLS , you cannot assign LDAP users to LDAP groups in WLS since you have to do that in your LDAP not in WLS.
why does this functionality also in the Oracle BI Publisher Admin screen?Oracle BI Publisher security is managed by Fusion middleware security model not Weblogic , so to get the LDAP users to BIP you need to integrate OBIEE security to BI Publisher.
Hope this helps. ! Mark if it does.
Thanks,

Emulating Oracle Applications Environment in BI Publisher Enterprise Server

Hi there,
I think I know what the answer is going to be to this post but for reasons outwith my control I'm trying to understand if there is a workaround to achieve the resultant report output I require.
Background
Oracle E-Business on Demand 11.5.10.2
Oracle BI Publisher 10.1.3.2
My client has Oracle E-Biz on Demand but rather than utilising the integrated XML Publisher engine they have gone down the path of installing BI Publisher Standalone Enterprise Server for their report generation.
Now this works to an extent but I am experiencing problems trying to emulate the setting of an Apps context when I run a report so that I can utilise the Apps security within the Stanalone Enterprise Server. Is this even possible?
Example, basing a data model on PO_VENDOR_SITES (multi-org view) returns 0 (zero) rows but basing it on PO_VENDOR_SITES_ALL returns all rows (for all Orgs).
I can hear you all now yelling, "Use the Oracle Applications XML Publisher" version but in this "On Demand" arena that practice hasn't been adopted so i am raising this post in the hope that someone may be able to suggest a workaround or solution.
Actually, no BI Publisher security model has been adopted and all users use the GUEST account to run reports.
All comments and suggestions are appreciated :-)
Kind Regards,
Gary.

Gary, create a data template and call your own db function to initialise these. The beforeReport trigger will fire and set the enviro prior to the query being executed (as in Reports) Something like this below:
<dataTemplate name="BasicQueryDT" description="Simple query data template" defaultPackage="xxbi_setenviro">
     <dataQuery>
          <sqlStatement name="basicQuery">
               <![CDATA[
select max(last_update_date) today from apps.pa_projects_v]]>
          </sqlStatement>
     </dataQuery>
     <dataTrigger name="beforeReport" source="xxbi_setenviro.before_rep"/>
     <dataStructure>
          <group name="G_Main" source="basicQuery">
               <element name="TheDate" value="today"/>
          </group>
     </dataStructure>
</dataTemplate>
