Create a user in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I am new to OBIEE 11g.Can any one help to create an user?I mean to say when he types that URL,the user login screen comes and he can use his own user ID and password to do the same.
Regards,
Mainak

Mainak,
To create a new user you have to use the weblogic server admin console.
For example, http://hostname:7001/console.
Here is a good link that explains how to do this.

Restricting access to some of the LDAP users in obiee 11g.

Hi Experts,
I have successfully integrated LDAP with OBIEE 11g and user's are Authenticated to login to obiee using their LDAP credentials.
But the case is All the employees in the company who have ldap are able to login(any way this is expected as we integrated ldap with OBIEE)
Is there any way that we can restrict the access to users who don't need OBIEE. If so please suggest me the required steps.
Edited by: MKC on Oct 5, 2012 7:43 AM

Handle it in LDAP side, try to create a group in LDAP for BI users and use it in integration so that only this specific group uses sit in bi side.
Pls mark if helps

Users in OBIEE 11g RPD

Hi all ,
I have scenario where i need to apply data level security for few users.
And i am trying to redefine the permissions for that user in RPD in offline mode , i failed to see those users in IDENTITY window.
Can some one please tell me , how to come over this issue ,
Thanks

Hi Raj,
In data level security for users level, You have to implement external table authorization.
1. Create table in database.
2. create session variable in rpd.
If you want some more extend information.

How to create new user for OBIEE presentation service

Hello Guys
I now only have 2 users on my OBIEE, demo1, demo2.. Now I'd like to create a new user call A and make this new user able to log on to OBIEE presenation service..
So I went to the RPD admin tool and created new user there and gave password. It was done online mode and I checked out..
I am able to login to admin tool with the new user account, but when I go to presentation service, I am not able to see this new user nor would I be able to log on using the new user account..
So how does this work? If I wanted to create a new user and let it access dashboard, I'd I do it
Any pointer will be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Hi.
actually there is no option available in presentation service to create user. There you can just delete user and create and delete the groups.
Anyhow, you said you have created a user in rpd.
To see this user in answers, you must login into answers with this user once.
are you able to login with the newly created user?
(As you said you done the creation of user in online mode, this may not effect to the answers)
if not, just login with administrator into answers, click on reload server metadata, then log off from there.
Now, try to login with the new user. You may able to login.
OR
just restart your BI Server services.

Setting HOMEPAGE for USERs, rolewise OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I have OBIEE 11g Dashboards on top of an Essbase cube. I would like to have a default homepage set per user role.
I have followed the below link: http://obieeelegant.blogspot.fi/2011/06/how-to-changing-theobiee11g-homepage.html , which suggests to have two tables in the database.
But how do I capture the User ids in this case. My security model has got Nested Groups and Nested Roles.
Any suggestion on how to proceed, please.

Hi Kalyan,
i referred this blog for adding tns entries for OBIEE 11g, for windows users.cmd has only one TNS_ADMIN, but in users.sh file there are many TNS_ADMIN and moreover all are are commented out, so i am not sure where and to what i should assign the path.
Thanks,

Unable to recreate the same user in OBIEE 11g

I have created user name : Justin
logged into analytics as justin.
deleted the user: Justin.
re-created the user: Justin
when trying to login, I am getting below error:
Unable to Sign In
An invalid User Name or Password was entered.
should I be deleting or restarting the server for this?
thanks
srikanth.

Hi,
Yes.Just refresh GUID and just while deleting user :Justin folder and justin.atr must be removed.then try to GUID then try to login again.
FYI: to regenerate user GUIDs:
Update the FMW_UPDATE_ROLE_AND_USER_REF_GUIDS parameter in NQSConfig.INI:
Open NQSConfig.INI for editing at:
ORACLE_INSTANCE/config/OracleBIServerComponent/coreapplication_obisn
Locate the FMW_UPDATE_ROLE_AND_USER_REF_GUIDS parameter and set it to YES, as follows:
FMW_UPDATE_ROLE_AND_USER_REF_GUIDS = YES;
Save and close the file.
Update the Catalog element in instanceconfig.xml:
Open instanceconfig.xml for editing at:
ORACLE_INSTANCE/config/OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent/
coreapplication_obipsn
Locate the Catalog element and update it as follows:
<Catalog>
<UpgradeAndExit>false</UpgradeAndExit>
<UpdateAccountGUIDs>UpdateAndExit</UpdateAccountGUIDs>
</Catalog>
Save and close the file.
Restart the Oracle Business Intelligence system components using opmnctl:
cd ORACLE_HOME/admin/instancen/bin
./opmnctl stopall
./opmnctl startall
Set the FMW_UPDATE_ROLE_AND_USER_REF_GUIDS parameter in NQSConfig.INI back to NO.
Important: You must perform this step to ensure that your system is secure.
Update the Catalog element in instanceconfig.xml to remove the UpdateAccount GUIDs entry.
Restart the Oracle Business Intelligence system components again using opmnctl:
cd ORACLE_HOME/admin/instancen/bin
./opmnctl stopall
./opmnctl startall

Ho to create Publications Reports using OBIEE 11g BI Publisher

Hi All,
I have a report, actually a publication to be printed on pdf. The content is basically lot of formatted text such as in any text book or manual such as table of contents, index, all type of graphs/charts , tabular information with numbers, foot notes at the bottom etc, etc. It looks like any user manual.
Is such report possible in OBI 11g BI publisher? If yes, then how to do data modeling for such report to display in BI publisher report?
The source of those is in Essbase cube. Hw to create data model so as to print the information (so that related paragraphs are one after other, with embedded charts, tables etc) in logically correct sequence?. Are there any cube deisgn factors which can affect the publisher data model? wht r those?
The amount of text, with grapth, tables is very huge as in any manual.
I want to suggest tool to customer for surch publication report. Customer has purchased OBI 11g for reporting suite which includes BI publisher.., and Hyoperion Essabse application for budget planning.
ab
Can such report be done in OBI 11g Answers? IF it can be done both Publisher, as well as Answers, then which one would be better option?
Can Hyperion Financial Reporting tool can do this kind of report?
Need your suggestions inputs...
If not then, are there any tools the market which can do such report development, which I can suggest to the customer..
Thanks
Santosh

Santosh,
Yes. It is possible to create such "books" using BI Publisher. It will take some effort as it needs planning and some custom code but definitely possible.
One of the key features to use is "Book Binding" along with BI Publisher's power to source information from different data sources.
A good starting point for this is:
http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/entry/bookbindng_samples
I have done this myself for a couple of customers and produced all features you are asking: Table of Contents, Footers, Charts, even hyperlinks.

Jorge
