Changing ownership of OBI report

OBIEE version 10.1.3.4
OBI integrated with Oracle EBS R12 using cookie base integration method.
A user's last name changed and the help desk personnel renamed the oracle EBS user. However, that has caused the user to loose her reports from he my folder.
Although we can see and the files from he old my folder from server, we cannot change ownership to the new user name.
Is there any way to change the ownership of the OBI reports from the older user name to the new one? I read some articles in google and there are some links that describe how it can be done by manipulating the ATR file.
However I could not relate what was written in those articles to what I see the ATR file I have.
Has anyone manipulated ATR files before to change owners? Can you provide some directions if you have done so successfully?

I have tried that by logging in as Administrator and i can't do that. The system indicates Administrator does not have permissions on the user's old folder or any user's folder.
Any other suggestions? Am I missing something?
Thank you

  • Bulk operation to Change Ownership of Reports in the CMS\FRS

    I have a large amount of reports that are owned by the administrator and need to change ownership to users for security & auditing reasons. I'm aware of the manual process to do this (basically re-publish them logged in as the user) however, doing this would be almost impossible to coordinate across the company.
    I have seen a few SQL scripts that have been used successfully by admins at other company's and based on XI R2, however I'm unable to get any of them to work (I'm on XI 3.1 SP3, FixPack3.1), nor do I fully appreciate the CMS SDK.
    Does anybody have any ideas on where I can go on this? Your comments\help appreciated as ever.

    Hello Neozeke,
    I recommend to post this query to the [BusinessObjects Enterprise Administration|BI Platform; forum.
    This forum is dedicated to topics related to administration and configuration of BusinessObjects Enterprise, BusinessObjects Edge, and Crystal Reports Server.
    It is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
    Also, all BOE Administration queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.

  • Change ownership from "system" on mounted volume?

    I have an external firewire drive with 3 partitions all of which are mounted on an iMac, and which until recently all had the same ownership and permission settings under my admin account. One of the volumes (the one storing all the users' iTunes songs) somehow changed ownership to "system" and group to "wheel". I can no longer access the volume nor can the other user accounts on the iMac, although it shows up as a mounted volume when viewed in Disk Utility. "Repair permissions" is unavailable for this volume in Disk Utility. The other two volumes are unaffected and retain the original ownership settings. I'd like to reset ownership from "system" to my admin account, but do not know how to do so as apparently it needs to be done through unix commands using Terminal. What do I need to do?
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    "...under Ownership & Permissions, click on the lock, enter your password, and change the Owner to you, with R&W access and the Group to admin, also w/R&W access, and click o Apply to enclosed items. Click the lock and close the Info window. No need to use Unix commands in the Terminal app."
    I first tried that approach but unfortunately the procedure does not work. Under Ownership & Permissions it says "You have No Access". I can click on the lock and select my name under Details: Owner, but once I click to relock, Owner just reverts back to "system".

  • How to transport Parameter changes in a crystal report

    Hi All,
    Very Good morning!!!
    I have designed a crystal report with static parameters. Earlier i used to have a dropdown kind of input selection for my parameters.
    Now i got a new requirement for a direct input in the field....tht means no dropdown ...single date field is to be entered directly.
    Accordingly i have removed the dropdown and changed to a single direct date field. I saved these changes to a request and transported to quality. Not sure whether the parameter changes are collected into a request.
    Whereas i couldn't found any changes of my parameters in quality. They are as same dropdown manner in the quality whereas i need them to be a direct field date entry which did not affected the quality server after transporting the changes.
    Could some one please let me know how to reflect these changes in quality server regarding parameter changes in a crystal report for BW.
    Thanks in Advance.

  • How do I change ownership on iTunes Match from one account to another?

    I purchased iTunes Match using one account but use another as my account for iCloud and my iPhone. How do I change ownership of my Match account?

    I don't think you can.  Purchases made with an account are tied permanently to that account.  This is the reason why it is not a good idea to have more than one iTunes account unlesss you really need to keep them separate.

  • How do I change ownership of an iPad?

    Hi guys,  help me save an iPad !!
    This is a tough one because I do not have access to the previous owner's ID password.   Talking about a 4th gen iPad, 32GB, iOS 8.3 with a badly shattered front glass.     My 5-year old grandson did this.   Done this sort of work before (old MacBook, inverter board), so I got the parts and instructions from ifixit.com and ready get to work on replacing the glass.   But ...., I needed to make sure we can use it fully.   It kept asking for the ID password.  I have already erased it with restore/iTunes connection after trying the other fixes in the book..    Of course, now I need the ID pw to activate it.      It's unusable now.
    This is a divorce situation in a family member.    Go figure.     We are trying to get her to give us the pw or, remove the iPad from her "list of devices" in her iCloud account as specified by Apple instructions.      She has refused to help with this, though the iPad is her son's which I got for him for Christmas sometime ago.   We are still trying to get her cooperation on this.
    OK, that's the sad story of a good, but dead,  iPad. 
    ???  Question:    Is there any way to change ownership of this iPad without its ID pw ???       Well, I said it was a tough one !
    Hope and Thanks,   Mark

    Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities
    Unfortunately it is impossible to change ownership of this device without having access to the previous owner's account.

    So now I'm trying to save the event under the new owner using this:
    mySess.storeEvents(Api.CSDK_FLAG_STORE_MODIFY,event,result);
    where event reads as follows:

    END:VEVENT
    END:VCALENDAR
    And i've run mySess.setIdentity to change to the old owner and new owner with no success?
    Please how does one change the owner of an event?

    The Calendar Sdk doesn't allow you to change the ownership of an event. (ORGANIZER value).

  • Is there any way that I can change ownership (not authorization) of a song so that I don't have to go between my parent's family account and my new account?

    So a little backstory i joined the army and get to go home and use the account where the majority of my music is very little, but now when i try transferring these songs to a new device some of them aren't authorized, and I don't want to go through this every time i get a new computer or ipod/iphone.  Is there any way that i can change ownership of a song or other file so that a different account is the one to authorize its use?

    No.

  • Change ownership of entire hard drive

    I just installed a second hard drive to house all of my music files, and mounted it to /media, then transferred all of my files to it.  The problem is, I used samba to transfer all of the files from my XP box, so all the directories/files are owned by root, and it would take my a day and a half to chown each individual directory.  Is there an easy way to change ownership of the entire drive/directory?  Sorry for the noob question but google and man chown didn't really help me much.

    Use the recursive switch:
    chown -R USERNAME:users /media
    where USERNAME is your user name.

  • How to Change Fonts in Oracle Reports

    Hi All,
    When ever i am changing fonts in my report it reflects me when i run them on reports builder installed on my local machine.
    But when i put them on application server, these changes are not reflected. I am generating PDF reports.
    Can some body help me what should i need to do to reflect the font changes.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Kamal

    Hi Kamal,
    Whether the font used in the report is installed in the machine where Apps server is installed? If not , use the feature ' PDF Aliasing' to substitue for that particular font.
    For more information on this, have a look at the chapter "Managing Fonts in Oracle Reports" in Publishing Reports Manual. You can download it from http://download.oracle.com/docs/pdf/B14048_01.pdf.
    Thanks,

  • How do I change ownership of apps?

    How do I change the ownership or Apple ID of apps I have purchased off the AppStore?
    Some of my apps were purchased using an Apple ID similar to [email protected]  When  iCloud was launched I signed up for it and now have a Apple ID like [email protected]
    I want to change ownership of apps from the gmail account to the iCloud account.  I don't want to have to sign in and and out of the AppStore on my iPhone, iPad and Mac to update apps.
    Any help on this matter will be appreciated.

    Thanks for that link.  Yes, it does clearly state Apple wont allow merging of Apple ID content.  Apple should reconsider this standpoint. Hopefully they will in the future.  Its only a matter of changing a record on their AppStore database.
    Its about 40/60 for the apps I have under my Gmail ID and my iCloud ID.  I will keep with iCloud and login into my Gmail ID when I've got lots of apps to update.
    Its a pain, but not the end of the world.  It must be frustrating for people with lots of apps on lots of devices.
    I am fairly new to Apple, however I feel the whole product ethos is much better than the Windows/PC approach.  I can't stand the fact I have to have a Microsoft email address just login into Windows 8.  I wish I had moved over to Apple years ago.

  • Link from OBI report/OBI Answers to other application

    Hi,
    We want to add a link from the OBI report / OBI Answers to our application. Is there a way to create a link on the values displayed and pass values as parameter on that link?
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    You can create a hyperlink within a column formula in Answers. You can use Go Url to pass multiple parameters as well. Check out the OBIEE presentation Services Administration Guide (Chapter 11 I believe).
    We have created dynamic hyperlinks in BI report that invokes an Apex page as well.
    Hopefully the following link will help.
    Dyanmic display of the Image Link URL
    Also search the forum.
    Hope this helps. Award points if helpful.
