BI Publisher Enterprise integration with 11.5.10.2

Hi all!
We are currently trying to leverage the XML publisher of 11i for any new report requests we have so we are more in line with fusion when we get there, if ever! The question for the group is that we found it a little conveluted to create the data definition and were wondering if we could leverage the enterprise edition (we have licences) to actually do that and load them in the database... Anyone any idea/experience in doing so?
Thanks,
G

Hi Paul,
Thanks for the reply on this post. The reason we are looking at BI publisher enterprise is that is seems to provide a better GUI for developers to design the data definition. Right now we have developers using Jdeveloper as an XML editor following the guidelines provided in the XML 5.6.3 user guide which per my developers comment is not as easy to use as Report builder which provides a lot of flexibility.
So our hope/goal now is to find a better way to develop the data definition or at least make it as efficient as possible. Am I missing something? Maybe there is already such functionality in XML that we are not familiar with...

BI Publisher Performance integrated with OBIEE 11g

Has anyone seen issues around the performance of rendering the BI Publisher frame when it is integrated with an OBIEE dashboard (11g)?
If I create a simple BI Publisher off a simple data model (Select 1 from dual). I open the BIP report within the BI Publisher environment (XmlpServer) and it opens in seconds.
When I open this same report within the OBIEE Web Catalog or place it on a dashboard page I have seen it take upwards of 40-50 seconds to render the frame then the report. The time seems to me more around rendering the frame.
Usually when you initiate your first session you see the longest rendering time, subsequent runs of the report are lower but still higher then the few seconds it takes in the BIP environment.
Has anyone else seen this issue, we opened a ticket with Oracle and it seems they are leaning toward creating a BUG around this. Just wanted to see what others were experiencing and if they identified the source of the issue. Thanks.

Hi Dustin,
The FMW security model in BI Publisher means it is integrated into OBIEE - I believe it's the default. If you're using authenticating and authorising via weblogic then I can't think of a good reason to use BI Server authentication in publisher, you should be using FMW security.
In answer to your question tThere was no bug raised. The work around for us was using document 1338007.1. In your case that doesn't seem necessary since you're using OVD already.
Edit - should just add that if your OVD authentication is set up in the repository then you need to shift that to the weblogic server security model and remove any authentication logic from the repository. After that the FMW security model for publisher should work.

Any responses to this?
I am also looking for a more detailed "Guide" of sorts for the integration.
Must say that the presentation is pretty good though.

OIM 11.1.1.5.0 + BP03 Integration with BI Publisher 11.1.1.5.0

Folks,
Has anyone been successful in integrating BIP 11.1.1.5.0 with OIM 11g? I have recently integrated BIP 11g with OIM11g for reporting. After doing all the necessary configurations as mentioned in the OIM 11g developers guide and BP03 read me document, I am able to see the reports structure in BIP. Also I could execute few of the reports like Access Policy details, Role membership etc. .
But none of the user reports are working. It always shows up a blank screen and no activity in logs either. I’m pretty sure that I have configured that BIP user properly and he has all the rights to execute the reports, in fact I have assigned all the available functional roles to the BIP user.
Has anyone of you faced such an issue earlier?
Appreciate your support!
Thanks
Sid

Hi Sidharth,
Instaed of BIP 11.1.1.5.0, go for BIP 10g, as it is certified with OIM 11.1.1.5. We integrated BIP 10g successfully.
Hope this helps

Oracle BI Publisher 10x/11x Integration with Siebel CRM 8.2 Release

Hello Gurus,
We are in the process of implementing Siebel (8.2) Public Sector for one of our client and in term s of reporting we have decided to use latest version of OBIEE and BI Publisher and thus decided to go ahead with implementing BI Apps 7.9.6.3 combined package of (OBIEE 11.1.1.6, BI Publisher, Informatica 9.x, DAC 10.1.3.4.1 with hot fix).
There is My Oracle Support (MOS) article # 1172844.1 (titled ‘Supporting Documentation for Siebel Reports by Product Version’) which explains that Oracle BI Publisher 10.1.3.4.2 version supports Siebel CRM release 8.2.
Due to the limitations of the Oracle BI Publisher usage as per the Oracle support documentation, we need to make use of OBIEE 10g version for BI Publisher for integrating with Siebel 8.2 release and we need to also use OBIEE 11g for the main reporting and henceforth we end up maintaining 2 servers for reporting in our environment.
Does Oracle BI Publisher 11.1.1.5 or 11.1.1.6 version cannot be integrated with Siebel 8.2? Is this not supported version with Seibel 8.2 version?
Oracle BI Publisher architecture in 10g is different when compared to OBIEE 11g version and does it make any impact if we go ahead with 2 different versions pointing to pull the data from the OLTP source ( Siebel) ?
I am looking out for exact approach to be followed for reporting requirements for this kind of scenario ?
Help me with your inputs and suggestions on this.
Thanks
Praveen

hi Praveen,
Did you got any answer for this?

Integration with XML Publisher

Has anyone found out or used the integration with XML Publisher? I am using the Sourcing product and it can generate report output based on XML Publisher directly from an OAF page. I was wondering how that is done.
Anyone know?

I had a similar query - I heard that AR, GL, and AP (11i10) are not compatible with XML Publisher - is this true? I thought was the XML Publisher was independent of modules.
Pls share any experience with the Publisher tool - challenges, installation, comparison to Optio, etc.
Thanks, Vishnu

Get error while Integrating with Oracle's Enterprise User Security

Hi,
I am trying to create an Oracle Enterprise User integrating with OVD and MS Active Directory.
I am following all the steps in Integrating with Oracle's Enterprise User Security.
In the documentation section: "Configuring Oracle Virtual Directory for the Integration"
I have applied the steps successfully until:
Update and load the entries into the Local Store Adapters by performing the following steps:
I have successfully extended the Oracle Virtual Directory schema with the loadOVD.ldif
However I am getting errors in the next step: Update realmRoot.ldif to use your namespaces
The next step states the following:
Update realmRoot.ldif to use your namespaces, including the dn, dc, o, orclsubscriberfullname,
and memberurl attributes in the file. If you have a DN mapping between Active Directory and
Oracle Virtual Directory, use the DN that you see from Oracle Virtual Directory.
The realmRoot.ldif file is located in ORACLE_VIRTUAL_DIRECTORY_HOME/eus,
where ORACLE_VIRTUAL_DIRECTORY_HOME represents the location where Oracle Virtual Directory is installed.
The realmRoot.ldif file contains core entries in the directory namespace that Enterprise User Security queries. The realmRoot.ldif file also contains the dynamic group that contains the registered Enterprise User Security databases to allow secured access to sensitive Enterprise User Security related attributes, like the user's Enterprise User Security hashed password attribute.
Load your domain root information in the realmRoot.ldif file into Oracle Virtual Directory using the following command:
ldapmodify -h Oracle_Virtual_Directory_Host –p OVD_Port -D cn=admin -w Admin_Password -v -a –f realmRoot.ldif
When I run the ldapmodify command I get the following error:
add dc:
testldap
add objectclass:
top
domain
domainDNS
adding new entry DC=testldap,DC=local
ldap_add: Operations error
ldap_add: additional info: LDAP Error 1 : null
The actual realmRoot.ldif looks like this:
# Please uncomment the following one line if you are importing this
# LDIF file via OVD Manager or OVD Server's ldapmodify tool.
#version: 1
#dn: dc=com
#dc: com
#objectclass: domain
dn: DC=testldap,DC=local
changetype: add
dc: testldap
#o: subarashii
objectclass: top
objectclass: domain
objectclass: domainDNS
#objectclass: orclSubscriber
#orclsubscriberfullname: subarashii
#orclVersion: 90400
# If your domain structure has more layers than dc=subarashii,dc=com,
# for example, it's dc=us,dc=subarashii,dc=com, you will need to load
# the following ldif entry/entries too.
# Uncomment out the following, if required.
#dn: dc=us,dc=subarashii,dc=com
#orclversion: 90400
#orclsubscriberfullname: us
#objectclass: domain
#objectclass: top
#objectclass: orclSubscriber
#dc: us
# Adding EUSDBGroup entry
# Modify the memberurl attribute and replace it with your own domain name
#dn: cn=EUSDBGROUP,dc=subarashii,dc=com
#cn: EUSDBGROUP
#memberurl:ldap:///dc=subarashii,dc=com??sub?(&(objectclass=orclService)(objectclass=orclDBServer))
#objectclass:groupofuniquenames
#objectclass:groupofurls
#objectclass:top

Did you ever get your questions answered about the realmRoot.ldif file? Did you manage to configure a successful integration of OVD with EUS? I am battling with trying to get Oracle Virtual Directory integrated with Enterprise User Security, but every step I take in Chapter 7 of the OVD manual fails in some way, and the instructions are often vague. I am not sure how to modify the realmRoot.ldif file. Is there any improved documentation on this? I have logged a Service Request, but not getting any help. Any resources or documentation you know of that provides better guidance would be much appreciated. I am way behind my schedule now and this is a very frustrating exercise.
Thanks.

Process flow - Active Directory integration with Enterprise Portal

Hi
I have seen number of documents/forum discussions on integrating Microsoft Active Directory (LDAP) with Enterprise Portal, but unable to find out the process flow for achieving the same.
I have installed Enterprise Portal 6 (SP13) running on Web AS 640 (J2EE Standalone). The UME is currently configured to use Java database. (i.e datasourceconfiguration_database_only.xml)
I intend to proceed as below for integrating with Active Directory and integrate with Windows authentication:
1) Configure UME to use an LDAP Server as Data Source using Config Tool
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/en/cc/cdd93f130f9115e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
2) Configure Enterprise Portal UME i.e http://<host name>:50000/irj - System Administration - System Configuration - UM Configuration
<b>Should I configure Data Sources & LDAP Server here as I have already configured these using J2EE Config tool (point no.1).</b>
3) Integrate Windows authentication with EP using IISProxy module.
I hope the above will enable me to logon to Portal without supplying username and password once you are logged on to the PC using your Windows user name and password.
Also, any schema updates required to Activie Directory i.e What additional data is stored in A.D.
I would appreciate your guidance on this.
Thanks in advance,
Chandu

Hi Chandau,
you wanted that some users are not taken into account by the User Management Engine (UME).
This behavior can be established by specifying the
ume.ldap.negative_user_filter property for the LDAP data sources in the data source configuration file. Using this property one can define that all users and accounts that
match the defined conditions are filtered out by the UME API.
A detailed documentation can be found in the SAP Online Help:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/9a/f43541b9cc4c0de10000000a1550b0/
content.htm
In the following example of a data source configuration file for Microsoft Active Directory
Server the attribute userPrincipalName is used as Logon ID of a portal user id (j_user).
Here the user accounts that have one of the following Logon IDs (index_service,
notificator_service and cmadmin_service ) are filtered out.
<dataSources>
</dataSource>
<dataSource id="CORP_LDAP">
<privateSection>
<ume.ldap.negative_user_filter>
userPrincipalName=[index_service,notificator_service,cmadmin_service]
</ume.ldap.negative_user_filter>
</privateSection>
</dataSource>
</dataSources>

Can XML Publisher 5.6.3(EBS) be integrated with APEX?

On the following document, XMP Publisher 5.6.2 does not support integration with APEX. May I know about 5.6.3? Or is it about the product being an add-on with EBS causing the non-support to integration(meaning, even 5.6.3 is not supported)?
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/configure_printing.html
Thanks,
Rownald

APEX integrates with the standalone version of BI Publisher. There was not a server component with the standalone 5.6.3 release. The integration relies on publisher providing a servlet for APEX to communicate with, 5.6.3 does not have this.
If you are talking 5.6.3 under EBS then I guess you could build a servlet on the mid tier that called the BIP conversion APIs - it would all be custom work.
The APEX integration needs 10.1.3.2 BIP to work with out of the box.

Enterprise portal integration with Oracle forms

Hi
Can anyone help me on this .
"Enterprise portal integration with Oracle forms".
I want to integrate oracle forms to EP .I am trying to work with app Integrator but I am not able to make any headway.Do you have any documents pertaining to this or any place where I can look for details.
Thanks
Alok

Hi,
i'm not aware of special integration feature with Oracle forms, but if as you said we are talking about a web application available via url then i see no problem doing so. the way you can implement the SSO is using something called Application Integrator which helps you build smart URL iView's that can use the portal framework (like systems, user profile , etc) , so you can build your oracle forms integration iView that will take the user password data from the portal (via system) using user mapping or sap logon tickets.
for more details on Application Integrator see
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/70/5a3842134bad04e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
regarding to the java applet, i don't really know what you mean by "jinitiator" but if your regular browser can do it then i see no reason for problems.
i hope it helps

Bi Publisher integration with SSO when users are in separate containers

Hi,
We have bi publisher 10.1.3.4 installed and setup to run with oas 10.1.3.3. Bi publisher as such works fine.
We need to get it integrated with sso and for that we have followed the steps in the bipub admin&ddeveloper guide, security model section:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12844_01/doc/bip.1013/e12188/T421739T475591.htm#T434695
In our oid users are devided to 3 containers:
l=emea,dc=oracle,dc=com
l=amer,dc=oracle,dc=com
l=apac,dc=oracle,dc=com
If the "Distinguished Name for Users" in bi security configuration it set to e.g.
l=emea,dc=oracle,dc=com
and the admin user is created in the same container l=emea then login works fine for all users in l=emea container. They can login fine and they have the privileges defined in XMLP groups.
However this means any user in l=apac or l=amer container cannot login.
I've therefore created new admin user cn=bipadmin,dc=oracle,dc=com and change the user search base to be dc=oracle,dc=com. Now as the admin bipadmin user I can login fine and have the privileges as defined in XMLP groups.
Actual end users are in the l=emea, l=amer,l=apac containers and with the end users I can still login but the privileges are missing. So e.g. I can login as cn=xx.yy,l=emea,dc=oracle,dc=com or cn=aa.bb,l=amer,dc=oracle,dc=com but even though I've granted those users admin privileges the admin tab is not visible.
Distinguished name for groups has not changed. It has been the same all the time and the XMLP groups exists there:
cn=cappbb,cn=aitsys,cn=Groups,dc=oracle,dc=com.
But it seems if User search base is changed to higher level than where the users actually are the privileges are no longer found.
Is Bi Publisher supposed to search for users only from the container which is defined in the "Distinguished Name for Users" (in this case dc=oracle,dc=com) or is bi publisher supposed to search the users from all the subgroups also under the "Distinguished Name for Users" path?
If anyone has hit the same issue and has fond resolution please let me know.
Thanks!
Nina

Hi Nina,
User privileges will work fine even though the user search base is pointing at the higher level...
In my application I have defined the User search base as,
Distinguished Name for Users : O=ABC
And my users are under, 1. ABC---> Users ---> US ---> and 2. ABC ---> Vendors...
All users could you able to login along with their privileges...
But in your case, i would want you to recheck,the users group/role mapping...
Also check, if not admin role could you able to atleast import other groups/roles mapped to the user when you login...
I mean any functional roles (other than XMLP*) mapped to the users are imported...
thanks..

Siebel new LDAP adapter integration with BI Publisher

Hi All!!
We have configured our Siebel (8.1.1.3) security adapter with LDAP. BI Publisher is using Siebel security model.
We had to clone our AOM (fins_esn which is using the security adapter LDAP) to finsxx_esn because we are migrating the AD 2000 to 2008 (we are also changing the domain). The roll out will last 2 month, users will be migrated by branch, it wont be a big bang.
We have to generate a new LDAP security adapter to authenticate users who are logging to finsxx_esn to the AD 2008 (AD 2008 is on a diferent domain than AD 2000. This is working for application autehtication, no problems found here)
On a standalone environment report generation is working. But for a distributed environment (1 AOM, 1 NAOM, 1 Web Server) is not working.
Does anyone knows how to integrate to BI Publisher when you have two LDAP security adapters on Siebel Application? Or is there any authentication method to use instead of "Siebel Security" so as to achieve this?
Regards

We actually ran into a similar problem where I work. I created a support web ticket for our issue and the response is that BIP 11G is not supported for integration with Siebel 8.1, or any other version for that matter. Oracle is currently working on a fix to integrated the latest version of Siebel with BIP.
There advice to me was to downgrade to BIP 10G for the time being.
