BI Apps 7.9.6 authentication method with EBS integration

Question

Hi all,
since the default BI Apps documentation (meaning Security Guide, which deals mainly with Init Block setup for different security groups for EBS implementation) is not very clear about it, I just would like to assure - the only way, how to integrate BI Apps OBIEE environment with EBS int term of security (authentication/authorization) is via the method, described in Oracle® Fusion Intelligence For E-Business Suite - meaning through setup BI Pres Service to get cookie value from EBS session and populate NQ_SESSION.ICX_SESSION_COOKIE whic is then used in OBIEE Init Blocks to setup the context of EBS user and based on that context , initialize different session variables (even row-wise - for populating variables used in security filters - e.g. LEDGER) for logged EBS/OBIEE user , is that right ? There isn't any other method, how to authenticate EBS user in OBIEE - like using the similar way for BI Apps implementation with Siebel CRM (authenticate user via executing Init Block, assigned with Connection Pool, in which :USER,:PASSWORD variables are used to authenicate user againts Siebel OLTP db) ?
Just to want to assure, that this is the only way, how to integrate BI Apps OBIEE environment into EBS from security point of view.
Thanks very much in advance for your answers/opinion.

Answer 1

I'm not using EBS R12.1.3 but I can give a suggestion, if possible try it once.
Using current configuration (Informatica and DAC) run a data load sourcing from EBS R12.1.3.
Let me know if you try this :)
