BI Publisher Usage

Hello,
I'm new to BI Publisher, hoping to get some expert advice on the setup and usage part.
1. BI Publisher doesn't provide a customizable front-end UI web interface? Other than the enterprise login 'http://<hostserver>:9704/xmlpserver/'.
Is that correct?
2. How is BIP generally exposed to end users? Do we build some web interface call java code - BI API to execute reports?
Thanks in advance for sharing your input.

Thanks Vetsrini. Can you please clarify the following points.
UI is provided by oracle, Oracle provides customization of these pages.
Can BIP API be called by customizing the Enterprise login page or has to be external? Do you know where I can find some documentation?Write custom process to do all - requirement based process
again here we can do it any technology , .net or java.
All these are exposed as web-services, so, it can be consumed by .net or java.
Has to be web-service or can we use BIP API to do complex logic other than displaying just the report output?Thanks!

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?

New for old? (BT Yahoo! Anytime Plus Vs. BT Total ...

Hi and hello,
I have just joined this forum as a) I would like to raise an issue and b) encourage some debate or at least seek some views on the following.
I note that many of you are enjoying the benefits of infinity and much higher throughput than I am (currently) ever likely to see, which may make my issue a little ‘out of the Ark’ for many of you. I have also tried searching the forum in case this topic has already been raised, but if it is here, I have not been able to find it. That could I guess, be due to the randomness of the thread/post titles being adopted.
I have just received a letter and an email from BT informing me they are “sprucing up” their systems and I will “get a better service for my money”. To achieve this, they are withdrawing my current service ‘BT Yahoo! Anytime Plus’ and replacing it with ‘BT Total Broadband Option 1”.
Note: When I originally signed up, long time ago now, the service was sold as ‘always on, always available and unlimited’. Clearly there is no such thing as unlimited in the BT vocabulary, at least not in the true dictionary definition of the word. For BT and my service this equates to a maximum 100GB download per month. The connection is commercialised as 2.2Mb/s. At best my total throughput (up, down, handshaking and signalling protocol overheads) equals a maximum of about 300kb/s.
Option 1 promises 20MB connection and a monthly download limit of 10GB. Having checked for my location, BT can only provide a theoretical speed of 6MB.
In summary then, they wish to replace my existing service with a connection speed theoretically 3x that which I have now and reduce my download limit to one tenth!!
Can anyone see why I think this unfair, unreasonable and paramount to ripping off their established customer base? Consider, under their ‘Option 1’ to reach my current level of download capability using the BT published usage policy of £5 per excess of 5GB, or £1 per extra 1GB, then this would equate to an extra £90.00 on top of my current monthly payment.
Any service that has a monthly 10GB download limit in today’s market place is just either naive or looking for a licence to print money.
I thought, that fair usage, customer loyalty and normal best practice, dictated the simple maxim of ‘when withdrawing a service, ensure you replace it with one equal to, or better than that it replaces’.
Sorry guys, but I have thought about this and think it very unjust. Would appreciate your views contrary or otherwise but would not appreciate smart **bleep** replies that simply suggest leaving BT or purchase a better option. And no, whilst I live within a mile from the exchange in a high density residential area, our street cabinet is not gonna get fibre, illogical maybe, but it’s one of the alleged fibre black holes.
Thanks. (In anticipation)

Hi _dreamer_,
Found it (thanks) and as you say it says"
Answer
BT Anytime Plus is a variation of BT Broadband which gives you 1GB monthly download allowance at £16.33 a month.
Over the next few months, we'll be replacing BT Yahoo! Anytime Plus with BT Total Broadband. We'll need to give you a new account number, but you'll pay the same and get a better service and more features for your money, such as a free 10GB monthly download allowance and speeds of up to 20Mb depending on how far you live from the exchange.
You don't need to do anything. We'll let you know when your upgrade's done."
1. I assume the 1GB message is an error, it has to be 10 surely!!???
2. I can find no pages confirming my/our current capability (to stop us comparing perhaps?)!
3. As you say, no mention of replacing our old modems.
4. No mention of minimum PC spec' to support proposed new service.
5. Worse of all, no date for change-over.
I have to say, I'm now more concerned than I was. I know that BT have always practised a, shall we say, dictatorial approach (as an ISP), to thier members which dates all the way back to their origin as once being the Post Office and civil servants.
Methinks it's time for a serious telephone call to BT to challenge this, much as the first reply suggested. I just hope I can find a UK based person to talk to, no I'm not racist, but I do like to understand whats being said to me, if anything.
I know I currently exceed 1GB download a month, huh, who doesn't.
Nevermind my 2.2MB connection, what about my max only ever being about 300Kb/s.
If you do call them, and have any luck - would love to hear back from you, I'll do the same thing to if you want.
Good Luck (we might need it).

OBIEE 11g web services

BI publisher report : why "Database Usage Tracking Summary" repport is empty ?

Hi everyone,
I'me using BI publisher intergated to Grid Control12c (R3), trying to get "Database Usage Tracking Summary" report folowing Oracle documentation (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24628_01/doc.121/e24473/usage_reports.htm#EMADM13568)
And I have 2 problems :
1) FTPburst delivery is not working, sftp is configured but still have the folowing error
Echec de la distribution.
[INSTANCE_ID=gs00slli052.occ.lan.1424277393149] [OUTPUT_ID=1973]

2) Since FTPburst delivery is not working, i decide to try mail delivery. The delivery itself is working but the report is empty (see Sortie1.xls in attachements)
So i don't know why is it empty.
Can someone guide me ?

Hi,
Thank You for your quick reply. The table permission was alright.
Its very strange that, we configure usage tracking in obiee 11.1.1.6.0 using enterprise manager and that how all document says. And then it should automatically update the "NQSCONFIG.INI". But it was not updated there. So we need to change all configuration settings in both "Enterprise Manager" and also in the "NQSCONFIG.INI". Then it works fine!!
Thanks,
BK.

Usage Tracking for BI Publisher

We need to track Oracle BI EE Suite user's activity. There is Usage Tracking option in exSiebel products making possible to track what and when user did. It's needed to do similar audit for BI Publisher.
It's works "by itself" for Publisher reports built on top of BI Server infrastructure. Usage Tracking does all the job. But what should we do to audit reports using direct sql requests to the database?
PS
We have sucurity model integrated with Oracle BI EE Server

Here is an interview with Kurt Wolff, which is one of the original OBIEE developers from the nQuire days:
http://obibb.wordpress.com/2010/08/23/obibb-%E2%80%93-interviews-kurt-wolff/
This is particularly relevant of how I feel about OBIEE 11g so far...
"I don’t really know if there are any new features that are important to me in my current work or not. There may be features that help Oracle sell more product, but that’s different.
Over two years ago I submitted a list of 20 “little” enhancements that, as someone who on a daily basis worked developing analytic apps with OBIEE, I thought would be really beneficial. They were “little” in the sense that I thought the dev team could knock them all out in less than three weeks’ time. Seriously big impact with seriously little work.
Instead, we’re getting what appears to be a major re-write of the product, which raises questions in my mind about compatibility, unlearning, and new bugs. What I know about new features – well, they’re not so compelling. Sure, if you have a need to integrate Essbase with your other data, that’s good. But in my present situation, it’s irrelevant, and I’m planning on taking a lot of time to evaluate the new release before moving ahead with it."

Application publishing issues after temp profile usage

We haven't figured out the solusion to this issue but we do know the cause and a workaround for it that works, kind of...
A brief description would be that after permission issues for some users roaming profile storage on the fileserver application publishing and several applications fail in a different way for different users. This is due to the creation of C:\Users\TEMP,
TEMP.DOMAIN etc folders rather than using C:\Users\Username folders. The issue seems to be that App-V 5 client remembers this temporary folder in a way that we havent figured out yet, all references to the temp folders for each users account UID in the
registry has been removed and the roaming profie was deleted locally and on the fileserver YET app-v remembers the path C:\Users\TEMP and tried to create shortcuts etc there without success --> the packag then failes completely and dissapears from the client/powershell
Get-AppvClientPackage view as if its not even published to the user.
The BIG question is how the "#¤/&¤ can you get the App-V client to forget about the C:\Users\TEMP foders and retun to the users correct folder? We have tried to remove all user accounts UID from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\AppV\MAV\Configuration\Packages
etc and also the users profiles so this data must be stored somewhere else. The issue is local to specific XenApp servers, if the temporary profile wasnt created on a server the issue will never appear there.
The workaround is that all users with the issue have full access to the paths C:\Users\TEMP and C:\Users\TEMP.DOMAIN folders, however when app-v generates shortcuts in that folders we'll need to manually move them to the correct path so that they are
available to the users, smooth!
The environment is based on 4x Windows 2008 R2 server with citrix XenApp 6.5. App-V 5 SP1 RDS client is installed and configured to use a single publishing server "Add-AppvPublishingServer -Name SERVERNAME -URL
http://FQDN:8080"
The details:
(we think) Some users had the follow error since they couldn't access the faulty profile path TEMP or TEMP.DOMAIN:
Failed to create file by callback data: \Device\HarddiskVolume2\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\AppV\Client\VFS\FE7FE758-FDD8-4208-AF3D-E2505AEF6791\AppData\Adobe\Acrobat\
Another user got only one package (the only package without a shortcut):
This user receives 1 out of 8 packages.
We have tried removing the local and centrally stored roaming profile without any change.

We noticed thet the user DOMAIN\user had a TEMP.DOMAIN profile path due to faulty permissions on the profile store and that this path thoug its fixed was stil configured in the AppV part registry according to below.
Since this key is global to the server and not bound to the user account it wasnt removed with the user profile, we tried removing the specific keys manually where the user account UID occured without any change to the problem. The removed keys werent
regenerated in the registry though.
The specific user account SID uses TEMP.DOMAIN paths (\Users\TEMP.DOMAIN\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\AppV\Client\VFS) for two String Value names "TargetLongName" and "TargetShortNamefolders" in the following key (and others):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\AppV\MAV\Configuration\Packages\04ADC3E8-E368-4B95-98AF-F53A625070CD_C248B175-B174-41F5-A4D6-62835CF86519\UserConfig\S-1-5-21-XXXXXXXXXX
As mentioned the UID keys "S-1-5-21-XXXXXXXXXX" did not reappear UNTILL we manually created the folder C:\Users\TEMP.DOMAIN with full permissions for the affected user. Once this folder was created App-V recreated the registry keys "S-1-5-21-XXXXXXXXXX"
with the correct \Users\USERNAME\* values however the icons for the applications was distributed to the C:\TEMP.DOMAIN\Desktop folder and since the users desktop is accually in C:\Users\USERNAME\Desktop none of the icons was visible to the user.
Another user had similar issues but with the java plugin for internet explorer failing without error messages, once that user got access to C:\Users\TEMP.DOMAIN the user was again able to run java.

Cheers,
Ended up putting in some workarounds.

Config Manager Agent - after Hardware Inventory High CPU Usage with WMIPRSVE and very fast empty Battery

Hi there,
since a few days there is on some machines (40-60) a high cpu usage on one core (quad core cpu machines) with the WMIPRSVE.EXE if the HARDWARE INVENTORY CYCLE started.
i try out some tests, read some forum articles and troubleshooting the WMI management but a real problem i doesn´t see.
in some articles i read that hardware inventory runs about minutes up to more hours but some machines runs longer, someone more as 1 day.
here an example of mine PC:
at 8:07 i started Hardware Inventory Cycle, in the InventoryAgent.log i can see that some Collection Namespace are captured.
after a few minutes there stopped and does nothing round about 5.9 hours or better, after 21436.097 Seconds.
For any hints i am grateful. :)

Looks like something in one or both of those wmi queries. it goes from 8:10:03 to 14:06:43 right around there. 6 hours to do that...
try running those queries from wbemtest manually; and see which one just never finishes.

BI Publisher - output file window won't open

My customer is having an issue with opening or saving report output generated by BI Publisher.
Environment is Siebel CRM 8.1.1 running on RH Linux 4. Out of box reports work fine to the extent we can fin all the outputs under Administration - BIP Report. However after we select the output type (PDF, EXCEL, RTF, etc), a new window opens prompting for either "open" or "save". Clicking either button will result in nothing, while the local desktop's CPU usage by IE shoot up, sometimes up to 100%. Browser is IE6 by the way.
If anybody has seen this before or has any pointers, please let me know.
Thanks!

We un-installed 2 Microsoft patches to make it work. For the benefit of other users who might encounter the same problem - KB976749, KB974455.

Example: this is a sample of database table taken from Primavera application ODS
== Activity ID == Start == End == Budgeted_Labor_Unit == Remaining_Labor_Unit
== A1000 == 01-Jan-10 == 30-Jan-10 == 1000 == 500
== A1000 == 01-Feb-10 == 28-Feb-10 == 1500 == 500
== A1010 == 01-Jan-10 == 30-Jan-10 == 500 == 500
== A1010 == 01-Feb-10 == 28-Feb-10 == 100 == 100
How to make a report in BI Publisher and display above data as below:
== Activity ID == Jan-2010 Budgeted == Feb-2010 Budgeted
== A1000 == 1000 == 1500
== A1010 == 500 == 100
Is this possible in BI and how to do that, please help!!!
Best Regards,

Hi ,
OEM starts gathering the data after agent is installed and management packs are applied on the database.
So you cannot get the data before the agent installation.
Apart from that, if you go on to the database home page, the click on metric collection errors.
Most of the time you will find many metric collection error regarding to the targets.
I had faced the similar issue and agent was not able to capture the space usage due to metric collection error.
Please search on metalink and metric collection error may be due to some bug/permission issue.
Once all metric collection issues are resolved, and management packs are enabled then you can see the reports.
Regards
Rajesh
