Obiee 11g and custom j2ee app using the same cookie name

Hi,
I wrote a same j2ee web application. i'am using authentification through a realm configured in the web.xml.
This web app is deployed in the same weblogic than obiee 11g. What i want to do is to embed my application in a dashboard using an iframe tag, and use the same login from analytics to my custom web app.
In this article http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11035_01/wls100/security/thin_client.html#wp1039551, it is said that by default, all web apps in the sames weblogic server are using the same cookie name so that they share authentification between them. However, i have read in the web that analytics in obiee 11g is using a cookie with the name "ORA_BIPS_NQID".
In the weblogic.xml of my custom application, i set the cookie-name parameter to ORA_BIPS_NQID. However, in the dashbord, it still prompt for authentification to my custom web app.
How can we share authentification between analytics and a custom web app in the same weblogic ?
NB : I dont want to pass the username et password through the url.
Thanks.

By default, if you don't specify a cookie-name in the weblogic.xml configuration file, the weblogic server create a cookie named JSESSIONID for your application. For exemple, if two applications use the default configuration, both of them will use the same cookie name which is JSESSIONID. In this case, when you log in the first application, your are automaticaly logged in the second application with the same credentials. I have already test this kind of integration and it works perfectly. You only need that the two applications are deployed in the same weblogic server.
Now, i want to have the same behaviour between obiee 11g and my custom application deployed in the same weblogic server. I read somewhere in the web that obiee 11g presentation service (analytics) is configured with a cookie-name value = "ORA_BIPS_NQID". So in the weblogic.xml configuration file of my web app, i specify a cookie-name value = "ORA_BIPS_NQID" to have the same cookie-name between the two application. But, it still not work. It prompt for authentification in the dashboards.
I now, that such an integration is possible, because the other bi applications (mapviewer, bipublisher,...) are actually other web applications. However when using, for exemple, maps in dashbords, the mapviwer application automaticaly user the credentials of the user connected in analytics.

OBIEE 11g and SSO with Browser Cookie

In OBIEE 10g we were able to configure the Presentation Server to accept a browser cookie. The cookie value would be passed to the BI Server as the :USER variable. A BI Server Repository Initialization Block would execute a SQL SELECT statement which would return the PeopleSoft username based on the cookie value.
We added the following to the 10g instanceconfig.xml:
<CredentialStore>
<CredentialStorage type="file" path="D:\oracle\OBIEE_UD\Data\web\config\credentialstore.xml" passphrase="another_secret" />
</CredentialStore>
<Auth>
<SSO enabled="true">
<ParamList>
<Param name="IMPERSONATE" source="cookie" nameInSource="PS_TOKEN"/>
</ParamList>
</SSO>
</Auth>
The Initialization Block SQL is:
SELECT mGetTokenUserid(':USER') FROM DUAL
mGetTokenUserid is a PL/SQL function which invokes a PeopleSoft web service. The web service simply returns the username for a valid PS_TOKEN cookie.
The Initialization Block works fine in OBIEE 11g.
Unfortunately the instanceconfig.xml settings from 10g do not work in 11g. There is also nothing in the OBIEE 11g documentation which discusses how to tell the system to use a specific cookie value for authentication.
Any guidance as to where in the Fusion Middleware or WebLogic security documentation we might find details on how to get the system to pass the PS_TOKEN cookie to the BI Server in 11g?

Not a full answer but....
, WebLogic can accept third party tokens as defined here:

OBIEE 11G: Disable interaction in Graph

Hello,
Does anyone know how to disable interaction in graph in OBIEE 11G, apart from the normal way of disabling the interaction in Column Properties -> Interaction.
Is there any other way.
Thanks

In 11g unlike 10g the Interaction tab is disabled at graphs.
You can add it globally (column level)
thanks,

OBIEE 11g reading the ORA_BIPS_NQID cookie on the narrative

Hi,
I need to get the session id that the BI returns upon logging. I saw the BI is storing it on a cookie named ORA_BIPS_NQID but wher I try to read it using javascript with the document.cookie the js cannot retrieve the value.
This was possible on 10g by also accessing the cookie named nQuireID.
Kindly help how to retrieve the session id on OBIEE 11g.
Thanks,
Arnold

Hi,
Please, did you succeed to retrieve the session id. I have the same problem.
Thanks.

OBIEE 11G -

I have setup an excel spreadsheet as my datasource in OBIEE 11G.
I have setup a dashboard that uses this spreadsheet as a datasource. It works fine.
My problem is that when my boss updates the spreadsheet, the coresponding dashboard shows the old data.
In the BI admin tool, if I go to the 'physical' and view data, the updated (new) data is there - it just not updated/refreshed in my dashboard.
Do I need to somehow update the BMM and/or the presentation in the BI admin tool?
I thougth that once the data in the excel spreadsheet was updated, obiee would automatically update - but that isn't happening!
Help!
Btw- i'm really new at obiee..so it may be something obvious I'm not doing...like updating the presentation or BMM...

Hi Experts
I want to turn off cache in all layers of OBIEE. Through OFW I have disabled the cache. So is the case with alll physical tables in RPD.
Also, I have changed instanceconfig.xml as per this blog
http://shivabizint.wordpress.com/2010/08/23/to-disable-presentation-cache-in-obiee11g/
to remove any presenatin server cache.Restarted the services.
Obviously, first time the report takes a while to load (Dasboard prmpt value=A). Then if I change the dashboard prompt value from A to B, it takes a while to load, which is understandable. But Now if I go back and change the prompt value back to A, it comes very fast.(I want it to be slow, as there is no cahe, it should again go back to DB and get the data) Even cleared the cookies while doing so. Still report comes up very fast.
Looks like it is still caching somewhere may be session level? Can you help how to disabale all forms of caching?
Thanks
Ajit

Hi ,
I normally do this to fix this problem
1>Disable the network , keep the loopback adaptor enabled and then restart the services.
2> You can enable the network after services are restarted.
If you want a more practical solution and dont want to disable network again and again, then you would find the blog below useful.

Hope this help.

Error while deploying RPD in OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.3)

Hi Friends,
At times while deploying RPD in OBIEE 11g, I am getting an error, "_*Supplementary information regarding operation: DOMAIN, UNEXPECTED_ERROR;/tmp/zipped-directory.zip (Permission denied)*_".
We have installed OBIEE over a LINUX machine. I tried to locate this file in the server but was not able to find any such thing. This error happens at random and I am unable to predict the occurrence of this error.
Can someone guide me how to resolve this issue?

You have to disable the central configuration:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/bi.1111/e10541/disable_em.htm#BEIIAEGD
Change your repository in the file nqsconfig.ini
and
change the password if needed in the credential store ...
http://gerardnico.com/wiki/_detail/dat/obiee/obiee11g_credential_store.jpg?id=dat%3Aobiee%3Acredential
But if you can't open EM, it will be very difficult and may be you must have to add resource (memory, ...) to your server.

Is there a way to deny access to BI Publisher -Report job in OBIEE 11g?

Thank you all for the helpful information in the posts. I am trying to disable or not to display Report job under published reporting in OBIEE 11g. Could any one of you you please help me with the steps?
My issue:
I am pretty new to OBIEE and we are using OBIEE 11g when the user clicks on the new drop down, i am trying to disable or turnoff Report job under published reporting for a user group. I tried to find the relevant components for published reporting to deny access to report job under manage privileges but no luck i couldn't find any and i realized that i should be looking into Manage Bi publisher roles and responsibilities but i cannot remove the roles. Please help me with the steps and the options where i need to go and what i should do to not to display the report job. Your help is greatly appreciated, if i am not clear please let me know i will try to rephrase or explain it better
FYI
We are using LDAP for user creation and we have created a new group and created a test user belongs to that group and that user should not see the Report job. When i am seeing the users roles and responsibilities it is also showing me other two roles authenticated user role and BI consumer role for the test user, when i asked the admin guy dealing with LDAP he said he only associated the user with that only new group. Please advice
Thanks,
Ravi

In EM, go to Weblogic Domain, right click on bifoundation_domain and on the Security menu choose Application Policies.
Set Application Stripe to obi and click the blue arrow search button.
Highlight BIConsumer and click Edit.
Under Permissions locate Resource Name oracle.bi.publisher.scheduleReport. Highlight this and click Delete...
Click OK (top right corner).
Now log your user out of OBIEE and back in again, and the option should have disappeared from their New menu.

In BI EE 10g, there was no Oracle Client bundled along with BI EE. So, BI EE will use your Oracle DB Home client to connect to the database. So, when you try to connect to the database through the Repository or BI Server, it will try to find the tnsnames entry in the Oracle Client of BI EE 11g instead of your database. There are 2 options to work around this
Copy your tnsnames.ora and Paste it to
1. Drive:Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_BI1}network\admin
2 Drive:Oracle\Middleware\oracle_common\network\admin
TNS File like,
DBName =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = Your Server IP)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = DBName)

OBIEE 11g "WITH SAWITH0 AS" subquery factoring clause in the generated sql

I've observed that the OBIEE 11g generates in the query log physical query using the WITH (sub-query factoring) clause to make the generated sql elegantly readable. This is great! Thanks for the developers. However I have some questions about this.
__Background__
Oracle Database' default behaviour is that if you have only one sub-query in the WITH section, it executes it as an in-line view and does not materialize it before the main sql is executed. If you have more than one, by default the database engine materializes all of them in the order of the definition. In some cases this can completely blow up the SGA and make the query never ending. To divert this behaviour you can apply two hints that work both in inline views and in sub-queries as well: /*+ MATERIALIZE */ and /*+ INLINE*/, however Analytics 11g does not seem to have hint capabilities at the logical table level, only at physical table level.
If we go with the current defaults, developers not aware of this feature can bump into serious performance issues for the sake of some syntax candy at the generated sql level, I'm afraid.
__Questions__
* Is it possible to turn the Analytics server not to use WITH but use inline views instead?
* Is there any way to sneak in some hints that would put the /*+ INLINE */ hint to the appropriate place in the generated sub-queries if needed
* Does the Oracle Database have any initialization parameter that can influence this sub-query factoring behavior and divert from the default?

The WITH statement is not added to make the query more elegant, it's added for performance reasons. If your queries take long to run then you may have a design issue. In a typical DWH DB SGA needs to be seriously increased since the queries ran are much larger and complex than on an OLTP DB. In any case you can disable the WITH statement in the Admin Tool by double clicking on your database object on the physical layer and going to the Features tab. The feature is called WITH_CLAUSE_SUPPORTED.

OBIEE 11G - Issue passing parameters between two reports

Hi folks,
I am struggling to pass parameters between two reports in OBIEE 11G.
My first report contains the following columns: Rolling Year Type (VCHAR), Year(VCHAR), Month(VCHAR), Cost(Double).
My second report contains the following columns: Rolling Year Type(VCHAR), Year(VCHAR), Month(VCHAR), Category(VCHAR), Cost(Double).
My requirement is to pass the Rolling Year Type, Year and Month values from report 1 to report 2.
On the Month column properties of report 1, I have created an Action Link called 'Drill to Category'. I have clicked on 'Navigate to BI Content' and selected Report 2.
Then on Report 2, I have included three filters: Rolling Year Type is prompted, Year is prompted, Month is promted.
When I run the report I always get the following error:
The specified criteria didn't result in any data. This is often caused by applying filters and/or selections that are too restrictive or that contain incorrect values. Please check your Analysis Filters and try again. The filters currently being applied are shown below.
When I check the cursor cache, the filter values are correct. Does anybody have any idea why Report 2 does not display?
When I remove the Month filter, the report works correctly.
I have since changed the third filter to be Month No and although Report 2 does display, it does not pick up the filter on the Month No.
I initially thought this may have been a caching issue and so I have disabled BI Server Cache but this does not fix my problem.
This was never an issue on OBIEE 10G as I found it very easy to navigate between two requests.
Has anyone else experienced problems with passing parameters between two request in 11G?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Gavin

Hi,
I once tried this kind of requirement(with dashboard prompts though) and hit at similar issue. I later found out that the problem is with the space in the parameter values. Can you please let me know, if the same is the case with you?
Suppose the parameter passed is "Jan 2010", but the report on the destination takes the value as "Jan" & "2010". Yes, it kind of split the parameter value to two based on space. I think we can notice the filters the destination report got, by enabling filter view.
In this case, since you pass only value at a time, could you try placing the parameter value anyway in double quotes? I think the Server then will understand it as one value.
Thank you,
Dhar

OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.5.0) - Issue with starting Node Manager

Hi,
Have anyone faced an issue with starting Node Manager in OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.5.0)? OS is 64 bit Linux, WebLogic is 10.3.5. I used the software-install method and followed by running config.sh. Everything completed successfully. I updated the catalog and rpd location in the FMW control screen.
To get it activated I bounced services and when I try to start Node Manager it gives below error --

Hi,
There are Two types of Cipher suites --- Certicom Cipher Suite and SunJSSE Equivalent Cipher Suite. And with Weblogic 10.3.5, you are using Sun JSSE Cipher Suite, and by default Node Manager uses the Certicom Cipher Suite.
In the nodemanager.properties, Add CipherSuite=SSL_RSA_EXPORT_WITH_RC4_40_MD5, save and restart Node Manager.
