Authenticate BI Publisher with URL

Hi guys
I have read BI Publisher documentation and I haven't found a mean to authenticate into xmlpserver via URL, just like in analytics (NQUser and NQPassword).
Is that even possible?
Regards

Hi Vetsrini.
Could you please post en example of the full URL?
http://localhost:9704/xmlpserver&id=Administrator&passwd=Administrator
and
http://localhost:9704/xmlpserver/&id=Administrator&passwd=Administrator :)
don't work

How can I authenticate and authorize with Web Service on ESB ?

Hello,
I want to authenticate and authorize client with Web Service published
by HTTP/SOAP BC.
Simply if it is an Web Service as J2EE application, I will use
Basic Authentication with JAX-RPC and Realm.
But I think that Web Service published by HTTP/SOAP BC is not belong
to J2EE Application. Threre is no place to describe security role mapping
(like web.xml).
JBI 1.0 the section "5.5.1.1.3 Normalized Message Properties" comments
JAAS Subject is given in the NM Properties. Really in this package
com.sun.jbi.internal.security.*
implements JAAS autentication and authorization (at JaasAuthenticator).
But I can't see how to configure my Service to use this.

Integrating Oracle BI Publisher with Oracle Single Sign-on security.

I am trying to integrate BI Publisher with Oracle Single Sign-on running on a different machine.
The BI Publisher is installed with an Oracle application server 10.3.1 (includes a HTTP server). These are the steps I followed:
1) Registered BI publisher as a partner application in the Oracle SSO admin console which generated a single sign-off url.
2) Made the required modifications in the mod_osso.xml config file.
3) On the BI publisher admin page went to the securities tab and opted the SSO security and entered the single sign-off url generated in the previous step.
4) Restarted the Oracle ID mgt infrastructure and the BI pub server.
The BI pub login is not getting redirected to the SSO page.
Please let me know as what is that I am missing. I've been cracking my head with this for quite long - any help will be highly appreciated.

APEX is only using BI Publisher to transform the XML data of your report and the template you provide into PDF, Word or Excel. For this, APEX sends the XML data and the template to BI Publisher, and BI Publisher sends back to completed document. So there's nothing stored in BI Publisher, all templates, report definitions, etc are stored in the APEX schema. This has the advantage that you can reference item values and other information in your print documents, and it also ensures that you don't have to access the database again from within BI Publisher, i.e. you don't need to communicate any authentication information to BI Publisher.
Of course BI Publisher itself also provide the ability to store reports and to store templates. But those are not accessible from APEX through the built-in integration. You can however use the same templates you use for BI Publisher directly on load them into APEX for use there.
Lastly, if you want to use and print reports in both BI Publisher and your APEX applications, you can do that through web services, take a look at Tyler Muth's BLOG for more information on this topic:

IIS Reverse Proxy with URL rewrite.

Hi all, hoping to leverage the wealth of knowledge contained here.
Any assistance would be very welcome.
I'm having an issue getting a reverse proxy and URL rewrite working in IIS 7.0.
I need to redirect all requests with a specific virtual directory suffix only.
ie; https://domain.test.com/outbound/Content/query_etc
With /Outbound/ being the trigger.
This should be redirected to http://10.10.10.10/inbound/Content/query_etc
While at the same time, requests without the /outbound/ suffix should be handled locally.
I have configured the reverse proxy as described in a few articles, and have had no luck.
Here's a snippet from my (sanitized) web.config at the site level.
<rewrite>
<outboundRules>
<rule name="ReverseProxyOutboundRule1" preCondition="ResponseIsHtml1">
<match filterByTags="A" pattern="^http(s)?://10.10.10.10/inbound/(.*)" />
<action type="Rewrite" value="https://domain.test.com/outbound/{R:2}" />
</rule>
<preConditions>
<preCondition name="ResponseIsHtml1">
<add input="{RESPONSE_CONTENT_TYPE}" pattern="^text/html" />
</preCondition>
</preConditions>
</outboundRules>
<rules>
<rule name="ReverseProxyInboundRule1" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^outbound/(.*)" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="http://10.10.10.10/inbound/{R:1}" appendQueryString="true" logRewrittenUrl="false" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
To me, this looks correct, yet it doesn't work.
With this, I get the normal 404 - Error Code 0x80070002, with the text indicating the local directory doesn't exist, so.... not being picked up by the filter for redirection.

Hi Andrew,
Looking at your requirements it appears you need Reverse Proxy To Another Site/Server.
By using URL Rewrite Module together with
Application Request Routing module you can have IIS 7 act as a
reverse proxy.
It seems like URL Rewrite can't re-route the request somewhere else out of the server.
Even when you rewrite the url the actual connection remains with the server. Hence if your original server doesn't have /inbound/Content/query_etc it will fail with 404.
Hosting multiple domain names under a single account using URL Rewrite.
It’s a common desire to have a single IIS website that handles multiple sites with different domain names.

Powershell: There is no file with URL error during file upload.

I am trying to put together a PowerShell script that I could use to upload files from a local directory, into a Document Library in a Record Center Site. Here is what my script looks like...
#Open web and library
$web = Get-SPWeb $webUrl
$docLibrary = $web.Lists[$docLibraryName]
$files = ([System.IO.DirectoryInfo] (Get-Item $localFolderPath)).GetFiles()
Write-Host "Local Directory:" $localFolderPath
ForEach($file in $files)
Write-Host "Looping through files"
Write-Host "Current file:" $file
ElseIf ($contentType = "MyContentType")
#Open file
$fileStream = ([System.IO.FileInfo] (Get-Item $file.FullName)).OpenRead()
# Gather the file name
$FileName = $File.Name
#remove file extension
$NewName = [IO.Path]::GetFileNameWithoutExtension($FileName)
#split the file name by the "-" character
$FileNameArray = $NewName.split("_")
$check = $FileNameArray.Length
#Add file
$folder = $web.getfolder($docLibraryUrlName)
write-host "Copying file " $file.Name " to " $folder.ServerRelativeUrl "..."
$spFile = $folder.Files.Add($folder.Url + "/" + $file.Name, [System.IO.Stream]$fileStream, $true)
$spItem = $spFile.Item
write-host "Success"
#populate columns
$spItem["Application Number"] = $FileNameArray[0].ToString()
$spItem["Site Number"] = $FileNameArray[1].ToString()
$spItem.Update()
$fileStream.Close();
Each time I run my script, I get this error message
Exception calling "Add" with "3" argument(s): "<nativehr>0x80070003</nativehr><nativestack></nativestack>There is no file with URL 'http://myRecordLibrarySite/myRecord Library/12587_B2317.PDF' in this Web."

I have not been able to nail down why the script is failing. Any ideas why? Thanks for the help.

I just figured out the issue with adding the file. I went in this direction, and my code has progressed forward.
$folder = $web.getfolder($docLibrary.rootFolder.URL)

Integration of BI Publisher with presentation services

Hello,
I have installed and configured OBI Answers and Publisher in a Linux infrastructure and configured thro' Websphere/IHS. Answers/Dashboards is working fine. I am trying to integrate BI publisher with OBI answers/dashboards. This is working fine through OC4J but when I try to integrate through Websphere, I get a crypto error.
I have to deployed a plug-in in web server and tried to integrate BI publisher with presentation services through "cryptotools" and configuring it through instance config. When I hit http://myserver:port/xmlpserver I get "Error 500: com.phaos.crypto.CipherException ". Similarly when I select more products/BI Publisher through OBI Dashboards/Answers, I get the following
Reporting Login: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.phaos.crypto.CipherException; nested exception is: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.phaos.crypto.CipherException
I feel this is a common issue across both the end points. Has anyone come across this type of issue or similar issue ?
Help is greatly appreciated.
thx
Dinesh

I'm installing 10.1.3.4 and YES, i have installed BIP war in Websphere.
I think I may have resolved my original problem but faced with a different one now. I am able to logon to BI publisher standalone and integrated with OBI Answers (thro websphere). But when i click the dashboards link from BI Publisher, its going to the default OC4J installation and not my websphere. The similar re-direction works fine from OBI - Publisher but not from Publisher - OBI.
I need to find out, how its finding the server name and port to redirect from BIP -> OBI. Can you guys help please ?
thx

I think the real problem is that you don't check the return value from read (it's probably less than data.length indicating an incomplete read). Isn't there a readFully somewhere?

Uploading document using Powershell is throwing error- There is no file with URL

Hi.
I am trying to upload multiple documents to a sub folder in a library using powershell.
I am getting the error as : ForEach-Object : Exception calling "Add" with "3" argument(s):

How to fix this?

HI,
Is the name of the image or the sub folder name the issue?
I have the images with the name as "ab_3f_wht_ist_small_gif.gif". folder name "User_image"
There are underscores on the file name, but there is no space. When I add the file from the library (using the UI), the image is getting added.
But adding through the powershell is giving the issue.
I have checked this:

CiscoIPPhoneExecute with URL query strings

Has anyone successfully used the CiscoIPPhoneExecute xml object with URLs that contain query strings? Specifically, I'm wondering how to pass query string values that include spaces.
I'm able to successfully execute a URL such as:
http://<webaddress>/PushPage.asp?Field1=Value1&Field2=Value2
However, when I try to execute a URL like:
http://<webaddress>/PushPage.asp?Field1=Value with space&Field2=Value2
The phone displays an error message that says "Not Available", and the url that is pushed never gets executed.
I have tried representing spaces in the query string values using both the conventional "+" symbol, and I have also tried using "%20". Neither of these escape sequences seems to work.
Thanks for any advice.
-Mike

Thanks for the response. As I stated above, I know that ampersand (&) must be escaped, and I am properly escaping that character in the XML packets. I'm not having any problems pushing URLs that contain ampersand.
What I can't figure out is how to push URLs with *SPACES* included in the query string values. Please see the example URLs I posted in my original message, specifically the second URL. Again, I omitted the necessary ampersand escape sequence there for clarity.

Start IC WebClient with URL Parameters

Hi,
we are currently implementing IC WebClient 5.0. One of the customer needs is it, to start the IC WebClient with a service order ID, so that the order is displayed immediately without searching and confirming an account. Is it possible to start the IC WebClient with URL parameters to solve that issue?
Thank you for you help in advance!
Marcus Walena

Hallo Marcus,
This is currently not possible.
However, you don't need to always confirm the customer. You can use the agent inbox to do the search and navigate directly to the service order. However, if you want to do any processing after that, then you will need to identify the customer. The other option is to implement this yourself.
BTW: It is possible to navigate via a URL to the service order directly using PC UI.

Shiv

Filter Web Template with URL Cmd: doesn't work with compound infoobject ?

Hello all,
I've to filter the query contained on a web template with URL command, but it doesn't work.
The web template contains only one query, and on the free chars I have 0PLANT.
I call the web template adding to the normal url the following command:
&FILTER_IOBJNM=0PLANT&FILTER_VALUE=33
where 33 is the code of the plant I want to filter.
The command is executed, I think, because the result is "NO APPLICABLE DATA FOUND". The fact is that when I execute this query on the Bex filtering 0PLANT by value 33 the data exists.
May be because 0PLANT on our system is in compound with 0SOURSYSTEM ? In this case, what's the value I can use as filter ?
Thank's in advance,
Max

Hi,
please see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/59/edfe395dd76846e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
especially:
If the variant with ending 'EXT' is selected, the fully compounded value has to be entered in the external format, for example, 24.12.2000.
If the ending 'EXT' is not used, the fully compounded value has to be entered in the internal format, for example, 20001224 for 24.12.2000.
and
In the internal display (see table below) you can easily determine the name of the characteristic and the filter value using the URL parameter &snippet_operations=%20 (see also Object Tag for the Properties of Web Templates). Call the Web application with this URL parameter. If you filter using the context menu, the parameters FILTER_IOBJNM and FILTER_VALUE are automatically added to the URL in the Web browser. You can then use the desired values with Command URLs in hyperlinks.

Image with URL action in a table

Hi,
it is possible to assign a hyperlink to an image so o click an window with the given URL will open. How can I do this with an image wihtin a table. I assign the same URL action but the image is not clickable although the table is set to selectable and editable. Can anybody help?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
You can define an Image control uppon a Grid that has Resutls (with URL action as you did ).
If your grid with no results the Image won't be clickable.
Another importent thing for you to notice is the image scale-mode (make sure that it's on Original-size/ fit to scale).
- if you still having problem regardring this issue, please replay with your Visual-Composer version.
Thanks,
Kobi.

Integration with url iview

Hi everyone,
I have a web application and Portal and My aim is this two systems integration using url iview but I don't want to use Application Integrator.I want to use only URL iview with url parameters. My wish is to enter URL Parameter = uname(static) and Value = portaluid(This value should be get dynamically from portal).Consequently,How can I get dynamically portal userid in the url iview value.Is that possible?

Hi Mehmet,
Is there a reason you don't want to use application integrator? Because it is quite simple to create what you want using application integrator.
I don't think URL iView supports dynamic parameters...
Check out the Howto document for application integrator here:
