Discoverer Integration with BI Publisher now available

Key benefits of integration of BI Publisher with Discoverer:
- Create highly formatted reports based on your Discoverer worksheets (Relational and OLAP)
- Schedule and Distribute these reports in a variety of formats (e.g. HTML, PDF) via email
On the BI Publisher side, this integration requires BI EE 10.1.3.3 or BI Publisher standalone 10.1.3.3:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/htdocs/101320bi.html
There is documentation about this integration in the New Features guide:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/e10416/discointeg.htm#BABIDJBC
On the Discoverer side, you will also need to request a Discoverer one-off patch (password protected) from Oracle Support that adds the web services component to your Discoverer system – the patch is number 9334029. You will need to install this on top of a 10.1.2.2 Discoverer install that has been configured to use Oracle Internet Directory. Detailed configuration instructions are available in the one-off patch documentation.

Did anyone install this patch and make the integration with BIP work?
I installed the patch (on linux) using opatch apply as indicated in the patch README and opatch says that patch applied successfully. Now if I try to test the web service using http://host:port/discoverer/wsi as mentioned on page 11-2 of OBI New Features guide 10.1.3.3, I get a bunch of java errors like
500 Internal Server Error

Any guidance to resolve this will be highly valuable.

Discoverer integration with EBS R12 !!!

Hello Sir,
I need help to install/integrate Discoverer with R12.
Actually, our clients are using Discoverer 4i in current EBS 11.5.10.2 in production. We have just upgraded EBS in TEST environment from 11.5.10.2 to R12.1.3.
I had suggested client that Discoverer 4i is actually de-supported and they need to upgrade Discoverer version to minimum 10.1.2.3 or higher to integrate it with R12.1.3.
Now, client also have requirement for Discoverer to be certified with MS Excel 2010 format. So I have suggested to upgrade Discoverer version to minimum 11.1.1.4.
Latest certified Discoverer version is 11.1.1.7.0 as per note Using Discoverer 11.1.1 with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 (Doc ID 1074326.1)
1) Can you please provide your opinion and any documentation which I can follow to install/integrate Discoverer with R12 ?
2) Do I need to first install separate 10gAS for installing Discoverer 10.1.2.3 or Fusion middleware home for installing Discoverer 11g ? If yes, where can I find doc for this installation ?
3) Since 10g support has ended July 2013, where can I get media for installing 10gAS ?
4) Is there any additional licences required for using either Discoverer 10g or Discoverer 11g ?

2) Do I need to first install separate 10gAS for installing Discoverer 10.1.2.3 or Fusion middleware home for installing Discoverer 11g ? If yes, where can I find doc for this installation ?
Installation Recommendations - 11g Release 1 (11.1.1)
Installer Screens - 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.7.0)
3) Since 10g support has ended July 2013, where can I get media for installing 10gAS ?
You can download WebLogic 10.3.6 from WebLogic Server 12c (12.1.1), WebLogic Server 11g (10.3.6) and Previous Releases
4) Is there any additional licences required for using either Discoverer 10g or Discoverer 11g ?

Integration with XML Publisher

Has anyone found out or used the integration with XML Publisher? I am using the Sourcing product and it can generate report output based on XML Publisher directly from an OAF page. I was wondering how that is done.
Anyone know?

I had a similar query - I heard that AR, GL, and AP (11i10) are not compatible with XML Publisher - is this true? I thought was the XML Publisher was independent of modules.
Pls share any experience with the Publisher tool - challenges, installation, comparison to Optio, etc.
Thanks, Vishnu

Integration With BI Publisher

I am following steps in integration with BI Publisher , we have a problem when trying to import
PublicReportService_v11.wsdl , it takes so long time and then raise an error :
A record that contains identical values to the record you have created already exists.while creating PublicReportService_v11 web service
any one have suggestions my siebel tools 8.1.1.9

before importing delete / rename PublicReportService under business services, and also delete/rename all the IO for project XMLP Integration. Make sure there are no other Siebel repositories existing except Siebel Repository (no backups). Then import the WSDL.

OIM 11.1.1.5.0 + BP03 Integration with BI Publisher 11.1.1.5.0

Folks,
Has anyone been successful in integrating BIP 11.1.1.5.0 with OIM 11g? I have recently integrated BIP 11g with OIM11g for reporting. After doing all the necessary configurations as mentioned in the OIM 11g developers guide and BP03 read me document, I am able to see the reports structure in BIP. Also I could execute few of the reports like Access Policy details, Role membership etc. .
But none of the user reports are working. It always shows up a blank screen and no activity in logs either. I’m pretty sure that I have configured that BIP user properly and he has all the rights to execute the reports, in fact I have assigned all the available functional roles to the BIP user.
Has anyone of you faced such an issue earlier?
Appreciate your support!
Thanks
Sid

Hi Sidharth,
Instaed of BIP 11.1.1.5.0, go for BIP 10g, as it is certified with OIM 11.1.1.5. We integrated BIP 10g successfully.
Hope this helps

Siebel new LDAP adapter integration with BI Publisher

Hi All!!
We have configured our Siebel (8.1.1.3) security adapter with LDAP. BI Publisher is using Siebel security model.
We had to clone our AOM (fins_esn which is using the security adapter LDAP) to finsxx_esn because we are migrating the AD 2000 to 2008 (we are also changing the domain). The roll out will last 2 month, users will be migrated by branch, it wont be a big bang.
We have to generate a new LDAP security adapter to authenticate users who are logging to finsxx_esn to the AD 2008 (AD 2008 is on a diferent domain than AD 2000. This is working for application autehtication, no problems found here)
On a standalone environment report generation is working. But for a distributed environment (1 AOM, 1 NAOM, 1 Web Server) is not working.
Does anyone knows how to integrate to BI Publisher when you have two LDAP security adapters on Siebel Application? Or is there any authentication method to use instead of "Siebel Security" so as to achieve this?
Regards

We actually ran into a similar problem where I work. I created a support web ticket for our issue and the response is that BIP 11G is not supported for integration with Siebel 8.1, or any other version for that matter. Oracle is currently working on a fix to integrated the latest version of Siebel with BIP.
There advice to me was to downgrade to BIP 10G for the time being.

EBS Security Integration with BI Publisher

Hi All,
I have few questions regarding integration of EBS Security with BIP. I went through the following document Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher.
and have following questions.
-- Upon on logging on into BIP after integration with EBS should I assign the three roles of BI i.e. BI Administrator, BI Author and BI Conusmer to all EBS roles for catalog permission set up.
Below is my requirement. EBS user logging into BIP
a) Set of Users should have to build reports , publish on dashboard etc.
b)Set of users need only view reports i.e. read only.
c) One User should have Admin privileges.
How do I associated above with EBS roles. Should I assign BI roles to EBS roles in EM and give catalog permissions? Any thoughts will be really appreciated.
Thanks
SYK

have you got a response for this? We are having the same issue after following everything as well.

Siebel 8.1 integration with BI Publisher 11g

Hello,
I'm currently trying to integrate BI Publisher reporting with Siebel 8.1 at work. We've followed the guide named " [BI Publisher for Siebel Applications Guide|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14004_01/books/Reports/ReportsTOC.html] ", which you can find in the Oracle BI Publisher documentation website: [http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-publisher/documentation/index.html].
The problem is that this guide is meant to be used with the Oracle 10g version and we are using BI Publisher 11.1.1.5.0 (client's request).
We installed the new version without problems and reached the step "[Copying JAR Files to the Oracle BI Publisher Server|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14004_01/books/Reports/ReportsIntegrate11.html#wp551748]".
But since BI Publisher 11g runs on a Web Logic Server, instead of an Oracle Application Server (correct me if I'm wrong, I'm kind of new to the whole Oracle world), the file structures have changed and we cannot find the directory where we're supposed to copy those JAR files.
I kept reading the guide, in case we could skip this step and maybe find where those files are supposed to be later... but then again I found myself in a similar problem, since I need to place a Siebel WSDL file in a BI Publisher directory for importing, which I cannot find either.
Does anybody know how to accomplish this task or if it is even possible to use these software versions together? Could anyone at least point us to the right direction on where to look for this information?
Thank you in advance.

We actually ran into a similar problem where I work. I created a support web ticket for our issue and the response is that BIP 11G is not supported for integration with Siebel 8.1, or any other version for that matter. Oracle is currently working on a fix to integrated the latest version of Siebel with BIP.

APEX integration with BI Publisher

I am attempting to integrate our APEX applications to BI Publisher and replace our Oracle Reports.
We are using
APEX 4.0 .2.00.07
BI Publisher Release 10.1.3.4
IE 7.0.5730.13
I setup a simple report query in APEX shared components. The report query has only one source query. I pressed the test report button and the default BIP report came up successfully.
I then created an rtf document using Word 2003 and the BIP plug-ins. All I did was create two fields on the rtf and saved the report on my desktop as a .rtf.
I then created a report layout in APEX and imported the .rft report layout successfully.
I pointed my report query to the new .rtf layout and pressed the test report button and it work successfully.
I then created a button as “redirect to URL’ on an APEX page and created the http: url with the suggested print URL in the report query.
I ran my APEX application and went to the page with the report button. I clicked the button and the report came up fine.
I had another colleague sign into the APEX application and when he pressed the report button on the page all he got was a black browser window. We tested with other colleagues and got mixed results. Some got the report to appear others just a blank page.
We tried the query in both inline and attachment view with the same results.
What was interesting is that everyone was able to run the report within the report query clicking the “Test Report” button.
We are out of ideas on how to resolve this issue.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Frank

Frank,
I had the exact problem when I uploaded and replaced (with the same name) an existing rtf template.
Try the following:
Rename the template and generate a new url to use in the button click.

Integration bug with BI Publisher - Excel report always exports as PDF

Hi,
We think we found an APEX bug within the integration with BI Publisher.
After defining a Report Query (under Shared Components) to be exported to excel format, we copy the
generated link inside an APEX application and when user requests the report it
always returns a PDF file, instead of an excel as defined in the Report Query.
We're using APEX version 3.0.0.00.20. No way to make customer upgrade or apply any patch.
Does anybody have any workaround?
Many thanks
Josep
Edited by: [email protected] on Sep 1, 2008 12:56 PM

Hi,
No, I cannot reproduce it because this bug seems to be solved on latest versions. I think this is just a bug for eralier versions. We cannot upgrade version because we have other applications in production already and we cannot assume the risk of breaking them. Is there any workaround?
Regards,
Josep
