BI Publisher ADMIN tab missing

I'm logging in as Administrator to BI Publisher, but the Admin tab is missing at the top of the screen.
When I log into Analytics as Administrator, and select Settings...Manage BI Publisher, I get this error screen:
"Reporting Login: Login failed: Please contact administrator for your username/password."
And although there is a link on that page that says "Details", clicking it simply returns "Error Codes: " with no further explanation or list of error codes.
If I select "Settings...Manage BI Publisher" again, the BI Publisher Enterprise screen opens without the error message, but also without the Admin tab.
Administrator is listed as a valid user under Settings...Manage Privileges...Manage BI Publisher.
Any clues or thoughts?

Are you using BI EE security for BIP? If so, it sounds like you forgot to create the required BIP roles in your RPD before switching BIP over to use BI EE security. Go into your RPD and create a role called XMLP_ADMIN. Put administrator in that group. This should fix the immediate problem. There are 5 other groups required for this to work properly. You also need to setup a subject are called SA System.

Admin tab missing in BI Publisher 10.1.3.4.1 in windows xp 32 bit

Folks,
I am unable to see the Admin tab in BI Publisher 10.1.3.4.1 in windows xp 32 bit. I am trying to login from OBIEE --> More products --> Bi Publisher.
If I try to reinstall BI publisher desktop It says you have already installed. All my OBIEE stuff works fine. I went through the link
http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2007/11/06/oracle-bi-publisher-and-bi-ee-invisible-admin-tab/
*I looked at my {OracleBI}\xmlp\XMLP\Admin\Configuration\xmlp-server-config.xml file.*
I don't have the SUPERUSER_PASSWORD and SUPERUSER_USERNAME lines.
my security model says as below.
*<property name="SECURITY_MODEL" value="BI_SERVER"/>*
I tied changing to <property name="SECURITY_MODEL" value="XDO"/> Nothing happens...!
*{OracleBI}\xmlp\XMLP\Admin\Security\principals.xml*
-- checked for Administrator Role mapping is enabled.
*{oc4j_bi}\j2ee\home\applications\xmlpserver\xmlpserver\WEB-INF\xmlp-server-config.xml*
-- Iit points to the XMLP Reports path
Also went through link http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=582633&start=0&tstart=60

How do I get the Admin tab in the BI publisher? Somebody help..

I was able to navigate within Admin tab. But, when I try to add any new jdbc data source or modify the demo data source's connection string the screen hangs. I have to kill the screen using alt+ctl+del from the task manager window.
Also, I can't access BI Publisher from MS word. When I try to login from Word It asks for report server. In the tutorial it says that we can access BI publisher only if BI desktop is successfully installed.
What is going on here? Somebody help me in setting up the JDBC data source.

Publisher Admin tab not available

I'm trying to setup the BI publisher.
When I access the publisher, I can't see the Admin tab. I can't create any report. Basically, I can't do anything.
I have already allow the access to the publishser to Everyone.
Anything that I need to do to enable the publisher to work?

Hello,
is the version of OBIEE that you're using 10.1.3.3.0?
I have this problem when I'm using this version. When I upgrade to a higher version this problem didn't happen again.
If you couldn't upgrade your version try to execute the cryptotools utility.
Also, check if the 'xmlp-server-config.xml' file (at $OracleHome\OracleBI\xmlp\XMLP\Admin\Configuration) has the entry <property name="SAW_USERNAME" value="Administrator"/>

I could have upload the screen shot, but dont know how to do it .

Hi,
Modify the file xmlp-server-config.xml in \OracleBI\xmlp\XMLP\Admin\Configuration with the following contents and check.
<property name="SUPERUSER_PASSWORD" value="Give Some Password"/>
<property name="SUPERUSER_USERNAME" value="Admin"/>
<property name="SECURITY_MODEL" value="XDO"/>
Restart OC4J and log in either with Administrator or the Admin id created above.
I hope this will work

BI Publisher - No "Admin" tab

I am working on the BI Publisher tutorials online and when I log into the web interface for BI Publisher as Administrator, I do not see an "Admin" tab. I am guessing that somehow Administrator does not have full admin privileges. Does anyone know how to correct this?

Make sure the user you are logged in as is a member of the XMLP_ADMIN group.

Newbie, Missing Admin tab and Schedules tab is greyed out

Hi,
I am totally new to BI Publisher. I just completed the installation of both Oracle DB 10g and OBIEE 10.1.3.4
I am following the example in OBE to get started with BI Publisher. However, when I open the BI publisher, I don't see the Admin tab and also the schedules tab is greyed out. Where can I reenable the Admin tab?
Installation details:
OBIEE 10.1.3.4 with BI Publisher
I am accessing the BI publisher from Business Intelligence/BI Publisher
Username: Administrator
Or is there another menu tab to perform BIP Admin in this version?
Thanks,
Gina

Admin tab: u have to include Admin ID in the XMLP_ADMIN group in the RPD. (i believe u know how to do that)
Schedule: U have to configure scheduler and start the scheduler service. U need to follow as series of steps for that ...

"Could not write to configuration file" when config Publisher in admin tab

Hi guys,
I have install OBIEE 10.3.3.4 on an RH linux box (with OS user obiee) and Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.1 on the same box (with OS user oraias).
When I want to change some parameter in the admin tab of BI publisher (Administrator/Administrator as the login name/pass) and click "Apply",
I get the error "Could not write to configuration file". After I change the configuration properties to 777 the error is sitll there. And I also try to change the SECURITY MODEL to XDO, but still no use.
I made a test, for example, when I change something in admin--JDBC--Oracle BIEE and then apply, I got the error. If I update xmlp/DataSource/datasources.xml manually, the change can be seen after I reopen the page admin--JDBC--Oracle BIEE. That means I find the correct file and the file access properties is ok.
For other parameters such as Scheduler Configuration, I got the same error when apply. But the "Test connection" and "Install schema" work.
Can somebody give me some advise on this ? Thanks
Scott

Hi Experts,
I have configured the scheduler as given in "http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2007/09/13/oracle-bi-ee-10133-configuring-delivers-ibots/".
I am able to start the services [Server , Presentation and also the Scheduler]...
But when i login to publisher i still see that the Schedules Tab is greyed out [ is inactive].
Is there any other settings that i should do to enable this.
Appreciate your immediate reponse

Not Showing the Admin tab

Hi All,
I am new to BIP and trying to build report in Publisher by using biserver Subject areas but when i am logging into publisher through web server (Administrator) but it is showing empty shared and my folders and also not showing the Admin tab.
By searching some old threads i found that we have to change the security model in xmlp-server-config i don't know why we have to make this setting but i changed this setting as below but now also it is showing empty folders and not showing Admin tab.
Edit the property SECURITY_MODEL and change it to XDO. i.e. for example <property name=”SECURITY_MODEL” value=”XDO”/>.
Can any one help me how to build report using biserver SA's.
Regards,

Hi ,
Sorry i did't restart the services now all its looking fine.

After changing OBIEE 10G repository, BI Publisher Admin user lost privileges

Hi,
When I changed the OBIEE repository to a new one in NQSConfig.ini, BI Publisher Administrator User is stripped off access to shared Folder reports and Admin tab. Also the privilege to create a new report is removed.
Can some one suggest a solution for my issue.
Thanks in Advance..

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.
