Installation & Integrating Publisher with Presentation Service

Hello All,
I installed presentation services on one machine (let's A) on IIS, BI publisher & BI Servers are on other machine (B) on OC4J. since, i can't directly use IIS for BI Publisher as per the documentation.
Installation went well.
After logging into my publisher, i configured integration part of presentation service which points to machine: A. And, at this place, i'm able to browse the BI
Answer report & can see the results in xml view. Also, able to navigate to dashboard from publisher.
But, if i try to browse any bi publisher report, which is in Machine: B, i'm getting error: An error occured while connecting to BI Publisher Enterprise. Please contact your administrator.
Can, somebody helps me in browse publisher reports & run them.

Got it,
it's happened because, i didn't congifure xmlpserver tags of instanceconfig.ini to the machine name, where publisher is installed.

Integration of BI Publisher with presentation services

Hello,
I have installed and configured OBI Answers and Publisher in a Linux infrastructure and configured thro' Websphere/IHS. Answers/Dashboards is working fine. I am trying to integrate BI publisher with OBI answers/dashboards. This is working fine through OC4J but when I try to integrate through Websphere, I get a crypto error.
I have to deployed a plug-in in web server and tried to integrate BI publisher with presentation services through "cryptotools" and configuring it through instance config. When I hit http://myserver:port/xmlpserver I get "Error 500: com.phaos.crypto.CipherException ". Similarly when I select more products/BI Publisher through OBI Dashboards/Answers, I get the following
Reporting Login: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.phaos.crypto.CipherException; nested exception is: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.phaos.crypto.CipherException
I feel this is a common issue across both the end points. Has anyone come across this type of issue or similar issue ?
Help is greatly appreciated.
thx

I'm installing 10.1.3.4 and YES, i have installed BIP war in Websphere.
I think I may have resolved my original problem but faced with a different one now. I am able to logon to BI publisher standalone and integrated with OBI Answers (thro websphere). But when i click the dashboards link from BI Publisher, its going to the default OC4J installation and not my websphere. The similar re-direction works fine from OBI - Publisher but not from Publisher - OBI.
I need to find out, how its finding the server name and port to redirect from BIP -> OBI. Can you guys help please ?
thx

BI Publisher and Presentation services integration

Hi,
I have configured BI publisher and done the presentation services integration also. When I try to build a query by connecting to RPD, I am able to generate a query and design the report.
But when I select BI Answers as a data source, I am not listed out the reports. When I click on browse button, it opens the popup window and dispays BI Catalog and nothing else. when I check saw log, it has authentication error.
We have enabled LDAP authentication. I have used Administrator user to configure BI publisher. I have enabled the BI Publisher security type for BI Publisher authentication.
I have used the Administrator user while executing the cryptotools utility.
The following is the error.
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLDriverConnectW).
State: 08004. Code: 10018. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: 08004] [nQSError: 10018] Access for the requested connection is refused.
[nQSError: 13024] Successful completion of init block 'LDAP Authentication' is required. (08004)
I am loogin in using administrator user and trying to use BI answers as a data source.
If anyone have any idea on this issue. Kindly help on the same.
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
Yes Seriously , the documentation at this link http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E15586_01/fusionapps.1111/e20838/jdev.htm shows clearly there is a out-of-box region called "BI Publisher Region " to be integrated with ADF UI.
But after installing the extensions also I am not able to find that option.
I have installed "Oracle Fusion Applications Companion 11g (11.1.1.5.3) " updates as mentioned here "https://blogs.oracle.com/jdevextensions/entry/setting_up_a_fusion_applications"
After installing we see "BI ADF Components" in Technology Scope but If we open a jspx/jsff we don't see "BI Publisher" region option in component palette. Looks like there is something seriously missing.
One thing to note is I installed Jdev 11.1.1.5 downloaded from OTN and installed the updates from "http://edelivery.oracle.com" will that be a problem?
Any body from ORACLE ACE directors pls help us. We need this region looks like it has more options to save the document etc..
Thanks for your help!!

INTEGRATING PUBLISHER WITH OBI EE SECURITY USING LDAP

Hi !
Just learned about how integrating BI Publisher with OBI EE Security had to be set. (SA SYSTEM blah blah blah)
My question is : what if my OBI EE security is already based on LDAP server ? How do I manually insert user logon in SA_USER as I'm supposed to do ? No way...any turnaround ? Should I base my BI PUB security on the LDAP server ?
Thanks in advance
Yannis

Hi,
I too have the same question.
Could you please let us know whether using "Oracle BI server" security model in BIP would address the SSO between Oracle BI and BI Publisher when BI uses LDAP authentication?
Also I am facing some issues in setting up BI security in BIP.
The issue is that, when logged into BIP as Administartor, Roles and Permissions tab of Admin displays only two roles namely "Administrator" and "XMLP_TEMPLATE_ONLINE".
SA subject area is also set.
Could you please let me know your thoughts on the same?
Thanks in Advance.

Deleted user able to login to Oracle BI Publisher Web, Presentation Service

Hi All,
i have chosen "Oracle BI Server" as my security model and everything is working fine, i had to delete a user, i deleted the user from RPD, deleted user from Presentation services from "Manage Presentation catalog users and groups" and restarted services: Oracle BI Server, Oracle Presentation server, Oracle Java Host, OC4J.
after restart i am able to login into both presentation services and Oracle BI Publisher web, do i need to do anything more to restrict access to the deleted users.
Thanks and Regards,
Sreekanth.

If you are using BI Server for the security, then it is maintaining the users and what they can get to. You might clear browser caches and ensure you bounce the BIP server.

OBI Presentation Services and Firefox 10?

I just upgraded my browser to Firefox 10 (from 9.0.1 I think?) and am getting a "Your browser is not supported by Oracle BI Presentation Services". Version 9 worked flawlessly (to my knowledge).
Anyone else getting that? I have a workaround (Chrome and IE still work) but I really enjoyed using FF with OBIEE.

I bumped into this because my Firefox updated itself. The Modify Headers Addon works for me, but I think it will be a bit beyond our users. I'm also worried about IE 10 now.
This reminded me of a thread on prohibiting iPads, and perhaps someone with more familiarity with presentation services can run with this (from http://groups.google.com/group/obiee-enterprise-methodology/msg/4ca8f8c0d74f1f43?pli=1):
BI EE Presentation Services now supports the following 3 tags.
+1. PermittedUserAgentType - The name field associated with the browser. This typically maps to filemap key names.+
+2. minVersion - The minimum version supported. This needs to be a string as browsers do things like 3.0b1.+
+3. maxVersion - The maximum version supported. This needs to be a string as browsers do things like 3.0b1. This should typically not be specified.+
These are there as part of the xsd of instanceconfig.xml.

Not able to start presentation services during EBS integration with OBI

I ran through an issue while trying to integrate OBIEE 11.1.1.5 with EBS R12. I followed the steps mentioned in the below link
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/bi.1111/e16364/ebs_actions.htm
I restarted all the services but i was routed to OBIEE login screen through EBS. Later on i made some changes in connection pool of the repository and started the services but now presentation services are not coming up. i tried restarting all the services from EM and opmnctl but to no avail. i went through sawlog5 and console~coreapplication_obips1~1.log file but not able to find any specific error. Below is the error description from both the files

Hi,
i did make changes to connection pool but those changes are inevitable. I pointed those connection pools to the new EBS database.
@DPKA : i did make changes to instanceconfig. As a part of OBIEE integration with EBS, i changed instanceconfig.xml and started the services. I didn't bring down the services while making the changes. Did that have any impact on services.

Sandeep

Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) won't install with iTunes,either V10.7 or V11. The service can't be started b/c the software is not there. Windows 7 with latest service pack. V11 iTunes installs

Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) won't install with iTunes,either V10.7 or V11. The service can't be started b/c the software is not there. Windows 7 with latest service pack. V11 iTunes installs fine, iPod found, no iPhone 5 b/c no AMDS. Error "insufficient premissions to install AMDS" Tried numerous uninstall / reinstall combinations, installed iTunes as administrator, etc. Somethings not right. What the Heck ?

See the following article for dealing with Apple Mobile Device Services: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567
Downloading and installing iTunes will not fix this problem. If the other troubleshooting steps do not work, go to the Control Panel and uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Services, Quicktime and any other Apple program that might be present. Reboot your computer, then download and install the latest version of iTunes.

Is BOE 4.0 integrated with Data Services XI 4.0

Hi,
I have gone through some blogs and documentation on Data Services XI 4.0 and some where it is mentioned that BOE 4.0 is integrated with Data Services XI 4.0. Is it true? If it is true then i want to know how can we integrate BOE 3.1 SP2 with data services XI 4.0 because right now we are using BOE 3.1 SP2, BW 7.01 and want to install Data Services XI 4.0 unless there is no compatibility issue between them.
I need this information immediately because we have to install data services if its compatible with BOE 3.1 SP2 and BW 7.01.

Hi Aditya,
From the XI 4.0 Data Services Upgrade Manual:
2.1 Major changes in Data Services XI 4.0
Unlike previous releases of Data Services and Data Integrator, SAP BusinessObjects Data Services
XI 4.0 introduces central user management, which relies on SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise. Users
are authenticated against the SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise security, and repositories are registered
in SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise.
You can use either an existing SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0 installation to manage Data
Services users and repositories, or SAP BusinessObjects Information platform services, which is availabe
to all Data Services customers and contains the required SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise services for
user management.
For information about installing SAP BusinessObjects Information platform services, see the SAP
BusinessObjects Data Services Installation Guide.
So it sounds like you can't use an exisiting BOE XI 3.1 CMC, but would need to upgrade it to XI 4.0 or use the SAP BusinessObjects Information platform services, which is included with XI 4.0 Data Services.

How to Add Publisher Administrator Credentials to Oracle BI Presentation Services Credential Store

Does anyone know how to configure the same in OBIEE 11G
Thanks for your help

In BI URL word analytics is kind of virtual directory, if you want to change this you might have to change at Web Server side.
Try to use em for your oc4j to change or redeploy the analytics with desired name.
Just in case you are using IIS then you need to check in IIS.

Integration of Oracle BI Publisher with OBIEE 11G

Hi, all.
I want to know How to Integration of Oracle BI Publisher with OBIEE 11G?
Because I can't create data set using Oracle BI Analysis now, and the analyses and dashboards in BIEE presentation catalog is unvisible. Why?
Thank you.

I may be missing something, but BI Publisher Enterprise is installed at the same time as when you install BIEE on the server. You wouldn't install BI Publisher Desktop on that server. You can use BI Publisher Desktop locally to create templates for use in BI Publisher Enterprise.
I'm much more familiar with XML (BI) Publisher as part of Oracle Apps moreso than BIEE, so I could be wrong in my assessment.
Hope that helps,
Brett

Integrating Oracle BI Publisher with Oracle Single Sign-on security.

I am trying to integrate BI Publisher with Oracle Single Sign-on running on a different machine.
The BI Publisher is installed with an Oracle application server 10.3.1 (includes a HTTP server). These are the steps I followed:
1) Registered BI publisher as a partner application in the Oracle SSO admin console which generated a single sign-off url.
2) Made the required modifications in the mod_osso.xml config file.
3) On the BI publisher admin page went to the securities tab and opted the SSO security and entered the single sign-off url generated in the previous step.
4) Restarted the Oracle ID mgt infrastructure and the BI pub server.
The BI pub login is not getting redirected to the SSO page.
Please let me know as what is that I am missing. I've been cracking my head with this for quite long - any help will be highly appreciated.

APEX is only using BI Publisher to transform the XML data of your report and the template you provide into PDF, Word or Excel. For this, APEX sends the XML data and the template to BI Publisher, and BI Publisher sends back to completed document. So there's nothing stored in BI Publisher, all templates, report definitions, etc are stored in the APEX schema. This has the advantage that you can reference item values and other information in your print documents, and it also ensures that you don't have to access the database again from within BI Publisher, i.e. you don't need to communicate any authentication information to BI Publisher.
Of course BI Publisher itself also provide the ability to store reports and to store templates. But those are not accessible from APEX through the built-in integration. You can however use the same templates you use for BI Publisher directly on load them into APEX for use there.
Lastly, if you want to use and print reports in both BI Publisher and your APEX applications, you can do that through web services, take a look at Tyler Muth's BLOG for more information on this topic:

How to get report from BI Publisher in BIEE presentation services

Hello all, I have installed the BIEE and BI Publisher in the same host, and I have followed the configuration in the oracle biee install documentation, but when I want to access to the BI Publisher Enterprise or get the report from the BI Publisher in the presentation services, I will get the error saying cannot access to the BIP, do I need to do any further configuration or do I need to install any other component?
Thanks in advance~

For me, it seems integration problem. Verify the following:
1. Are you able to login into BI Publisher Directly? If yes,
2. What Security Model being Setup in BI PUB? (You can verify this from xmlp-server-config.xml file)
3. If it is XDO or BI Server ==> Password Synchronization Steps between BI Preso Services and BI Publisher.
4. If it is BI Server ==> Create necessary roles in RPD..

XML Publisher with Service Module - Service Request Reports -- URGENT

Hi all ... any pointers/help/guidance with the problem listed below would be much appreciated.
I'm working in the context of the Oracle Service Module & Service Request Reports.
I'm required to configure the XML Publisher Responsibility seeded functionality with the service module reports.
Listed below are the two reporting requirements that I'm considering , corresponding to the following seeded XMLP Responsibility seeded components:
(I'm quoting an extract from the Oracle TeleService Implementation & User Guide here).
Detailed Report
Data Definition: Service Request Detail Definition (CS_SR_DETAIL_DEF)
Corresponding Template: Service Request Detail Report Template (CS_SR_DETAIL_TMP.en)
Template Description: Includes all of the available service request attributes including charges, the two descriptive flexfields, and extensible attributes.
Summary Report
Data Definition: Service Request Summary Definition (CS_SR_SUMMARY_DEF)
Corresponding Template: Service Request Summary Report Template (CS_SR_SUMMARY_TMP_en)
Template Description: Includes a subset of the detailed report attributes including the same charges information as the detailed report.
When I log into the EBS >> XML Publisher Administrator Responsibility >> Service Application ... I find these seeded XMLP components, together with the preview data, downloadable templates & sample output.
The question is:
Where (responsibility/application/navigation/etc.) do I find the seeded EBS Service Reports to provide the expected XML input to the seeded XMLP Service Request Data Definitions & Templates????
Notes ...
I have found the following two reports, under the Service Application in EBS, set their output type to XML and viewed the output of the submitted request:
- Service Request Detail Report
- Service Request Summary Report
... but each of these two reports produce XML output of a different data model/structure to that expected by each of the corresponding seeded XMLP data-definitions/templates.
Additionally, I cannot find any corresponding concurrent program definitions on the system with the same SHORT-NAME/CODE as the seeded XMLP data definitions themselves i.e. CS_SR_DETAIL_DEF and CS_SR_SUMMARY_DEF.
Are the necessary reports not actually seeded within EBS? Do the seeded XMLP data definitions & templates require development of new Concurrent Programs from scratch to access the database tables and provide the necessary data/input, or am I missing something here??

I am sure you found a solution to your problem. If not, to give a pointer to this issue, I guess these reports are gererated right from the service request screen and this definition is used there.This report can be generated from several places based on where you are within SR scree.
Thanks

Problem running report with BI Publisher and Web Service

Hello,
I actually try to run a Bi Publisher report via the Web Service.
I use the following documents:
- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/e10416/bip_webservice_101331.htm
- "How to integrate Oracle BI Publisher via Web Services in Oracke Forms"
Everything works fine. But when I try to copy it on local computer the file is 0 length. I use the "getReportBytes" method.
Here is the code I tried with:
String userName = “Administrator”;
String passWord = “Administrator”;
System.out.println(”calling ” + myPort.getEndpoint());
System.out.println(myPort.validateLogin(userName,passWord));
ReportRequest repReq = new ReportRequest();
ReportResponse repRes = new ReportResponse();
repReq.setAttributeFormat(”pdf”);
repReq.setAttributeLocale(”en-US”);
repReq.setAttributeTemplate(”World Sales”);
repReq.setReportAbsolutePath(”/Sales Manager/World Sales/World Sales.xdo”);
repRes = myPort.runReport(repReq,userName,passWord);
System.out.println(repRes.getReportContentType());
byte[] binaryBytes = repRes.getReportBytes();
OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(”D:
out.pdf”);
out.write(binaryBytes);
out.close();
System.out.println(”Success for Run Report”);
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I assume that you use 10.1.3.4. If not, my hint is not relevant for you ....
There's a new parameter in the web service API to set the Chunk-Size. Unfortunaltely is the default value not so, that the behaviour is like in older releases (no chunk-size ... the whole document at once). If you set the chunk size to -1, you should get your document. So try to add
repRequest.setSizeOfDataChunkDownload(-1);
