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.

"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

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
Still nothing happens...!
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.

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"/>

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"/>

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

Can not see the report in report manager/admin tab

Hi,
in 8.49 on Win 2003 some users can not see the reports in report manager/admin tab. PS user can see them.
Should we add some grants in user profile ? Which ? Any query to compare that user profile with PS ?
Thank you.

On the administration page, you will be able to see "View Reports For" header on the top.
Under that header you will see the following fields:
User ID/Type/Last/Status/Folder /Instance
Above values will be used by PeopleSoft to filter and display the list of reports
If the user has selected Status as Processing and saved the page, PeopleSoft will only show reports which are in Processing status.
If user runs a report and it has been posted, it will not show up in report manager coz the filter value is set to Processing.
Hope this helps. I dont think Permissions has anything to do with this since user is able to view the page.

How to publish an Admin-Approved InfoPath template to 2 different site collections, and retain same internal column names

Hi,
I am wondering how best to publish an InfoPath form as an Admin-Approved template, to both Site Collection 1 (SC1) and Site Collection 2 (SC2). Some fields are promoted to SharePoint columns.
I have already published my form to SC1, by choosing Publish to SharePoint Server > chose SC1 > Admin-approved > chose to publish to columns I had created manually on SC1 (these columns had relatively user-friendly internal names such
as 'Form_x0020_Status' etc, which I reference in xsl + code). I then uploaded the template in Central Admin as Admin-Approved, and activated the feature on SC1. This all worked fine.
However, if I then go to activate the feature on SC2, it creates columns with different internal names (GUIDs), which means my xsl + code won't work. If I try creating columns manually on SC2 before publishing, it still creates new GUID columns.
This of course must be because on feature activation on SC2, it cannot find the exact columns specified in the template (which was published to SC1), so it creates new ones.
In that case, what is the best way to publish an Admin-Approved template to 2 different site collections? One option is to create the columns using code, and deploy them to both sites as a feature, ensuring all IDs are the same. But should this be necessary, is
there any option available using only InfoPath and SharePoint?

Could not find iViews, Pages, Roles etc tabs in Content Admin Tab

Hello all,
I have installed 'Sneak Preview SAP NetWeaver 04 SP16 - Full Java Edition-Trial' from sdn.sap.com website. I am trying to learn EP development and started with EP100 (August 2002) document.
I couldn't find iViews, Pages, Roles etc tabs in Content Admin tab from where I can create channels and pages as described in the document. Am I following the wrong document or do I have to assign any additional roles to the user.
I have created a user with everyuser roles and super admin role. Do I have to add any other roles to this user to work with iViews and pages.
Please help me as I have struck at the very beginning.
Thanks in advance.
