Moving 11g BI Publisher Reports to Shared Folders in same instance.

Hi ,
I have to move BI Publishers reports from MY Folders to the Shared Folders in the same BI Publisher instance.
I just wanted to know do we have to move Data Model associated with the Report as well?
As of now i have just moved the BIP Reports and they are working fine, but was unsure on this Data Model part.
Can someone throw light on whats the good practise related to moving Reports in BI Publisher.
Thanks
Ashish

Should i move the data model in the Reports Folder only, under Shared Folders?
just wanted to know the best practise as to how data model and reports are stored under Shared folders as in separate folders or everything in the same folder.Yes the best practice is to create a folder called BIP Reports(shared folder) -> under which you can create 2 folders as Data Model and Data Template
>
Also how do i make sure that these Reports under Shared Folders are pointing to the Data Model in the Shared Folders and not to the Data Model of My Folders?
Thanks
AshishTo make sure the data template/report is pointed to data model in shared folder go to the corresponding report and from right pane under the report you see options as open schedule jobs job history edit more
select edit -> opens a new window -> from top you see a magnifier icon click on that opens a new window now select the datamodel from shared folder for the corresponding report thats it.
hope it helps
Thanks,

11g BI Publisher Report - Disable Schedule option

Hi,
Currently we have moved our BI Publisher catalog objects to the BI catalog and security is controlled through the web catalog for the BI publisher reports also.
As part of it, we have given 'Read' only access to the BI publisher report and the user do not see any 'Edit' option.
But the issue is that he is able to schedule the reports.
Is there a way to disable that 'schedule' option?
Thanks

from the catalog manager or from analytics url select the folder under which u have bipublisher reports and then click on permissions for the entire folder or for the report and then select custom it will show u list of options like create,delete,run,schedule,view,etc so take out(uncheck) that schedule option thats it

Publishing reports using BEx to the Portal

We have a folder called Store_Data (under Public Documents in KM) that has 500 store folders for reports. They are sorted by store number. When publishing reports to those folders from BEx Broadcaster the folders are sorted by creation date which makes it difficult to find the store folders.
Is there a way to have them sorted the same as the portal?

It is sorting fine in the portal but when you access the folder through BEx is not sorted.

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.

Can I pass parameters from a dashboard via a dashboard prompt and presentation variable to publisher report based on a data model with select statements in OBIEE 11g ?

I have a publisher 11g (v 11.1.1.7) report with a single parameter. The report is based on a data model not a subject area. I created a dashboard put a dashboard prompt and link to the report in separate section on the same page. The dashboard prompt sets a presentation variable named the same as the parameter in the report.
The problem was when I created the dashboard prompt, it forced me to select a subject area which I did (though did not want to) and then I created both a column and variable prompts. But clicking on the
report link completely ignored the value that I thought would be passed in the presentation variable to the report.
Side note : My report uses a pdf template for its layout where I have mapped the columns names from my data model to the form fields on the pdf form. I noticed that if I create a publisher report based on a subject area, then I do not have the choice to choose a PDF as a template type for my layout. (I only see BI Publisher Template as a choice).
I see some documentation online that suggest it could be done in 10g.
Thanks
M. Jamal

Ok,
I just tried that and it still doesn't pass anything to the prompt.
I changed the prompt to an edit field and I made the following weblink but when i click the link from an account it doesn't put anything in the prompt and all data for all accounts is shown.
This is the URL maybe I messed something up...

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

Launch a BI Publisher Report from ODI 11g

Hello,
I have a requirement where after a data load completes in ODI, a BI Publisher report should be launched which will email some pdf output to users.
Is there a way in ODI that as the last step in the data load process, I can launch a BI Publisher report? We are using OBIEE and BI Publisher is part of that.
Any pointers appreciated.
Thanks,
Manish

Hi Manish,
Sorry not been on here for a while.
In ODI you can create an ODI Package which exposes a bunch of 'ODITools' , one of these being the aforementioned ODIInvokeWebService - you just plug in your parameters and it fires the message across - See docs here : http://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1212/odi/ODIDG/app_tools.htm#ODIDG858
Once the package is working, you can create a scenario of this package in ODI. Once you have the scenario than you can invoke this from ODI directly or from the command line, or on a schedule, or even via Webservices (but I'd assume you'd just invoke BIP directly in this case !)
Good luck.
Alastair

OBIEE 11G BI publisher?

Hello Experts,
I have two questions
1) I am trying to create a BI publisher report by using analysis. i tried to create a data model with the analysis and when i clicked it i am getting a window shared and users and when i click on the shared i am not seeing any thing it is just empty. Any help in this regard will be really helpful. Also could you please provide the link for the Integrated BI publisher documentation.
2) I tried to create data model from the existing subject area folders first i dragged all the folders and didn't joined any of the folders since it doesn't make sense as they are made as per the convenience from different dimensions and columns and also it is already modeled in the rpd. After that it is only allowing me to choose a total of 60 columns which i did and executed the sql query with the default source option selected a table is created and when i run the xml it is giving me xml file doesnot appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below. Data_DS.. Any help is grealty appreciated
Thanks
RC

Hi user,
My steps is as follow:
1. Create new Data Model -> select Default Data Source = "Oracle BI EE"
2. Choose Data Set -> New Data Set = "Oracle BI Analysis" -> a popup window appear to show the Name, Oracle BI Analysis and Timeout input textbox
3. Beside the Oracle BI Analysis have an icon to choose the existed analysis located in share folder or my folder
I did exactly 3 steps above and is always found the saved analysis before.
Hope this help.

Deploying BI publisher report from OEM plug-in

Hi!
I am a bit confused about how to deploy & access BI publisher report from the plugin I develop
I've found only the http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24628_01/doc.121/e25161/bi_pub.htm and am a bit confused
What I did:
1) Integrated BI publisher with OEM
2) Developed a BI publisher report
3) Downloaded 2 files : xdoz and xdmz (DataModel & report)
4) made folder structure
/bipublisherreports/
/EM_Datamodels
5)packed into jar
jar cf myjar.jar ./bipublisherreports
6)put jar into ../oms/reports/emreports
7)written report.xml (in ../oms/reports/) file:
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8' ?>
<BIPublisherReports
xmlns="http://<what ip is here???>/DataCenter/BIPublisherReport">
<ReportFile relativePath="emreports" fileName="myjar.jar"/>
</BIPublisherReports>
The plug-in does not pass validation...
cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element 'BIPublisherReports'. for the MDS id report
Error is ungooglable =(
Can anybody help or point to some clear doc?

cd /tmp
mkdir STAGE
cd STAGE
mkdir bipublisherreports
cd bipublisherreports
mkdir EM_Datamodels [notice the underscore]
mkdir "My Sample Report" [notice, the quotes are necessary since the directory name contains spaces]
The datamodel needs to go in the following directory:
-------------- "bipublisherreports/EM_Datamodels/My Datamodel.xdmz" [there is an underscore between EM & Datamodels]
The reports go in a report directory, for example:
--------------- "bipublisherreports/My Sample Report/My Report.xdoz" [use spaces here wherever you prefer]
Make sure your report refers to the datamodel in the right location. So, in BIP, when editing the report, use the above folder names, under the 'Enterprise Manager Cloud Control' shared folder.
For example, your BIP catalog will look like this:
Shared Folders
---Enterprise Manager Cloud Control
-------- EM_Datamodels
-------------- My Datamodel
-------- My Sample Report
-------------- My Report
You then create a jar file with this:
cd /tmp/STAGE
jar cvf myemreports.jar bipublisherreports
Now, you need to make your bip reports part of your plugin source code.
You put your report.xml in your sysman/metadata/bipublisherreport [note the singular] directory.
For example:
<BIPublisherReports
xmlns="http://www.oracle.com/DataCenter/BIPublisherReport">
<ReportFile relativePath="emreports" fileName="myemreports.jar"/>
</BIPublisherReports>
You then create a subdirectory, sysman/metadata/bipublisherreport/emreports
And you put your myemreportrs.jar file here.
You then rebuild your opar using standard EM procedures.
When a customer later on instals your plugin, the BIP reports that go with the plugin are installed into the EM database repository automatically.
they can simply do this to deploy the bi publisher reports from em to BIP at any point:
emcli deploy_bipublisher_reports -plugind="my.sample.plugin" -pluginversion ="12.1.0.3.0" [-force]
The -force operation overwrites the reports.
See the complete help text like this:
emcli help deploy_bipublisher_reprorts
If they have not yet configured BIP with the configureBIP script, this deploy step happens automatically when they run configureBIP.

Start BI Publisher Report without authentication

Hello
I'd like to start BI Publisher Reports from Apex using a simple URL but without having to login into BI Publisher. Is there a way to provide username/password in the URL ( like with Oracle Reports cgi) or another possibility avoiding to type in Publisher credentials?
I know there is a technique to start Publisher Reports from Apex using a webservice, but with this it isn't possible to show the output on screen.
Thank you
Norbert

Thank you Turribeach.
I tried the guest folder as we don't use SSO. Anyway I can't get it to work... maybe I got a wrong value for Guest Folder Name? The report lies in Shared Folders/Guest. If I use "Guest" for Guest Folder Name I receive the error "The report cannot be rendered because of an error, please contact the administrator.". If I start the report out of BIP it works fine. Any other setting of Guest Folder Name, i.e. "/Guest" or "/Shared Folder/Guest" will bring up the credentials dialog and after loggin in the report is displayed ok.
Any suggentions what's wrong or missing?

Urgent-Renamed Folder in Shared Folders and now Error for all Users?

Hello,
Well I was asked to shorten a name in Shared Folders and so I changed it. Now I get an error if I click on Dashboards or Shared Folders (which is empty now btw ???) or Manage Catalog, its displaying:
Target Path Not Found (/Shared/Customer Operations) Error Code: GZ8VXQ96.
Are we not supposed to create a folder in Shared Folders and then Change the Name?
Please Help. The BI Server Administrator is telling me that everyone else's reports are not available now.
Neally

Kishore, Thank you for your response! I have forwarded it off.
Thing is, there was nothing inside the folder yet...I hadn't moved any reports over so there was nothing referencing it yet.
How can a name of a folder that is for our dept. affect HR, Finance..when they login? Their dashboard preferences were not set to mine. Confused. And to add to this, when I click on Manage Catalog is when I receive the error. So I imagine this is something admin will have to do in Oracle on bi server?

BW - EP Connection to Publish Reports From BW

We have implemented Enterprise Portal 6, and are running BW 3.5
I have been trying set up the connection between the 2 systems, so that I can publish reports from BW to EP
SSO between EP and BW is working - I can create a BW iview, or run a BW transaction without having to sign on again to the BW server.
I have checked the RFC connection from BW to EP using transaction SM59, and it all seems to be working fine.
When I am in the Web Application Designer in BW, there appears the option to Publish to Enterprise Portal 6.0. I can see the destination that I created to point to EP, but I can't see any roles/folders etc within the portal.
I have been through all of the documents that I have found in SAPHelp on configuring the connection, but have still had no luck.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Are there some permissions that I need to set up on either BW or EP before this will work?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Regards
Richard

Thanks very much for your assistance!!
Deepu:
Thanks for pointing me to the note - that looks like it could be helpful - I need to talk to our basis adminstrator about a couple of things, and he is away for a couple of weeks, so this problem will probably be on hold for a bit now.
Ashwin:
Thanks - I've checked the SSO to BW, and can see all of the BW reports in the BW repository in EP. My personal folders are all set up, but are empty.
I really appreciate your help on this guys. I'll try the changes in the OSS note (but won't be able to do this for a while), and will let you know if it is successful.
Regards
Richard
PS. I'm really sorry, but I don't seem to be able to allocate points for your answers - there are no radio buttons displaying on the screen for some reason - I'll see if I can contact SDN to get this sorted out.
