OBI EE - BI Publisher

I have created a new repository and updated the NSQconfig file. I created a Answers request and able to see my report. Now when I login into BI Publisher. I dont see the options like Adim Tab and also I am not able to create a new report using same Answers request. Please any body can direct? Is related to some other config or security settings. I am login as a Administrator.
Thanks,

You are posting the BI Applications Forum not BI Publisher/BI EE
However to identifiy if your enviornment is correct go to:
http://localhost:9704/xmlpserver
and log is a Administrator/Administrator.
If that works then you have a mismatched password between BI EE and BI Publisher. Go to the Admin tab in BI Publisher Enterprise and update the password to match the one for Administrator in BI EE

  • 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
    Dinesh

    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

  • 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.
    regards

  • BI publisher report not refreshing when associated OBI EE report is changed

    We have a dashboard that has an OBI report at the top, and a linked BI Publisher report underneath. The BI Publisher report is supposed to reflect a template version of the results in the OBI report.
    On the initial load of the report, the two reports are synched and matching. However, when you change a prompt with a request variable for the OBI report, the BI publisher report either blanks out or shows the prior information which no longer matches. If I change defaults in the OBI EE report, resave, then reload, the BI Publisher always gets it right the first time, just never again after that.
    Since all my research to this point led to a caching issue, here are the report properties that matter(?):
    Report properties:
    Caching –
    Enable Data Caching = unchecked
    User Level = checked
    Document Caching = unchecked
    User Can Refresh Report Data = checked
    General -
    Run Report Online = checked
    Show Controls = checked
    Allow Sharing Report Links = checked
    Open Links in New Window = checked
    Asynchronous Mode = unchecked
    Auto Run = checked
    Also – how do you make PDF the default output for a BI Publisher report? When we load this dashboard, it always tries to run the RTF version, and we have to Cancel, choose PDF and then refresh to get the PDF version.

    when you change a prompt with a request variable for the OBI reportUse Presentation Variable instead of Request Variable. Make sure you keep the same name for both Parameter in the BIP report and Presentation Variable in BI.

  • OBI Publisher 11.1.1.5 install questions

    Hello,
    I am new to OBI Publisher. I need OBIP for production PDF reports that are initiated through an APEX webpage.
    I am installing all of these on the same server:
    11.2.0.2 database
    Oracle HTTP Server (OHS)
    OBI Publisher
    I am having trouble installing OBIP. I ran the 11.1.1.5 RCU and selected the OBI component/schemas. The RCU went fine. However, at the end of the OBI install, I received an error at the "Creating ASInstance" step.

    Hi Experts,

    Once I tried to insert pivot table into template and clicked on preview button,

    I have reinstalled both MS - Office 2007 and BIP Desktop but didnt got Add-In in MS-WORD,

    Reinstalling Office is a bit extreme. All you needed to do was click on the Office button and view add-ins.

  • 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.

  • OBI publisher on Jboss Server AS7 [login failed]

    Hi, I've deployed OBI publisher on Jboss Server AS7 but when i try to authenticate with Administrator/Administrator the response is login failed. Thanks for your support i'm blocked

    Thank you for the replies and I am trying to answer the questions in your replies here
    Kranthi : To open in online mode,the BI server should be up so it accepts the password and then directs you to the layout. That is the case, I have OBI server up running and accept login from Answers page.
    Kranthi: first you should go through about offline/online modes before proceeding further.You can go through this from the BI answers user guide. The BI Answers user guide I found is OBI Answers, Delivers, and Interactive Dashboards User Guide, B31767-01 for Version 10.1.3.2. I could not find info for security management or login/password. Can you be more specific?
    Srinivas Malyala: Cross check are you accessing Linux Box rpd on WindowsWhich credentials are you using LDAP or DB etc
    Have you properly configured DSN to access Linux RPD. >
    I am not sure how OBI RPD authenticate logins. I am not using LDAP. I do not have a user Administrator in my Oracle database. Thus it does not appear authenticated with DB.
    I have a DSN configured on the window box, and be able to import database objects.
    Srinivas Malyala: Can you update us exact error message. The only message is "Logon failed." Too bad I cannot attach a file to show the message box. But you can get the same message when you login to the window Admin Tool online or offline with a wrong password.
    OBIEE developer : chk whether the rpd property is read only.. How? But I know if I open it offline, it it says the rpd is read-only. That is because it is opened by the server.
    OBIEE developer : or try this once if all fails to reset the pass..http://obieetricks.blogspot.com/2009/08/obiee-tips-tricks-for-ease-in.html >
    Like to try it but afraid get things more confused before I understand what is going on. I have not loss my Administrator password, I can login offline, I can login to SH Answerers pages.
    Is offline suppose to have the same password as online?

  • Where is OBI Publisher log

    Like in OBI Answers where one can find SQL log in Session Management, where can one find SQL log for OBI Publisher?
    Thanks

    You don't have the same system than in presentation service.
    You must set the log level as debug in Admin > Server Configuration page.
    Restart BI publisher and you will see all debug information on the OC4J console.
    You can also configure a debug level with a file. See configuration with EBS.

  • Webbinding of OBI Publisher failing (OC4J contained into OAS)

    Hi
    I;m deploying OBI Publisher (earlier XML publisher) xmlpserver.EAR using OC4J contained into Oracle Application server. The deployment is getting successful. But when Binding Web Modules to a Web Site After Deployment it is giving me an error
    BindWebApp error: oracle.oc4j.admin.jmx.shared.exceptions.JMXRuntimeException
    Anyone of you have ever faced this problem. Do I need to put certain jar files in shared library.
    Regards,
    Parwez

    Solved it myself.
    For the benefit of others:
    It is possible to use oracle_proxy plug-in for OC4J stand-alone.
    Crucial points for the configuration are:
    - oracle_proxy config file specified correctly
    - xmlpserver roles specified correctly
    - right ports specified in instanceconfig.xml and xmlp-server-config.xml

  • OBI Publisher display user role

    Hello,
    I have googled for a few hours but cant find a global variable to display the user group(s) on the OBI Publisher report.
    Is that possible without setting up a session variable in the repository (because right now we use OBI without the BI Server repository). If it does not work, how
    do I access a OBI Repository session variable in OBI Publisher? From somewhere I need to get the runtime session user groups.
    Thanks

    The LDAP is configured correctly now. I created a BIConsumer_new catalog group in the presentation services admin console. I can use that
    console to set the permissions for the BI publisher report (somehow it does not work when I try to set the permissions using the bi publisher admin page - the permissions window does not open).
    the question is still out there. how can I query with that catalog group OR ldap group in the BI Publisher data model?

  • OBI Publisher Data Template

    Hi all
    Please can some one tell me where can i find description about Data Template .
    I want to call a PL/SQL Proc inside some package and get data from it.
    I am using OBI Publisher to create new report and defining data model in it.
    Please guide me to some good online tutorial ablut data templage.
    Thanks a lot
    Amit

    Hi,
    You can get some info about DataTemplate (structure etc.) in OBI Publisher Report Designer`s Guide.
    If you want to call PL\SQL procedure you should define your default package and then call proc from it in DataTrigger section.
    Read this guide for additional info and examples =)

  • Conditional format in OBI Publisher Template Builder for Word

    Hi,
    I'm creating a template in MSWord's Publisher. I inserted a table and I tried to add conditional formatting to some of the cells. Nothing special: just standard red color when the value is below 0.
    In several places I've seen that I should go to the cell and do 'Insert>Conditional Format'. Unfortunately I get the following message then:
    The conditional format is not inside a table and can therefore not be applied to a table row
    I tried to google it, but I didn't find anything.
    So I tried to do it with explicit xsl code. In the User's Guide I found an example and after my adjustments it looks like this:
    <?if:_-__ROUND__FACTS_SUMMARY_V_._ACTUAL_COST_PREV_MON___0__<0?>
    <xsl:attribute xdofo:ctx="block" name="background-color">red</xsl:attribute><?end if?>
    <?_-__ROUND__FACTS_SUMMARY_V_._ACTUAL_COST_PREV_MON___0__?>
    I put the above xsl code in 'Properties>Advenced' for a table cell.
    And when I try to preview it as HTML I get the error:
    Caused by: oracle.xdo.parser.v2.XSLException: <Line 45, Column 100>: XML-22047: (Error) Invalid instantiation of 'Attribute' in 'Element' context.
    at oracle.xdo.parser.v2.XSLStylesheet.flushErrors(XSLStylesheet.java:1534)
    I exported my XSL-FO Style Sheet and here you have the lines 41-48:

    <xsl:variable name="_XDOFOTOTAL" select="number(1)"/>
    <fo:table-column column-width="45.5pt"/>
    <fo:table-column column-width="57.2pt"/>
    I can't see here anything related to my piece of code.
    Do you have any suggestions what do I do wrong?
    And, what's more important, what should I do, to make this conditional formatting run?
    I'm using Template Builder v. 10.1.3.4.
    I'm new to BI and not an expert in XSL, so please forgive me if the info in my post is incomplete. Let me know about it and I'll try to fill the gaps.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Here is what I have used in the past. insert a formula and copy one of these into the formula (and of course change the field names to your report field name).
    Changing Background Color Based on a Condition:
    <?choose:?><?when:GETROWNUM mod 2=0?><xsl:attribute xdofo:ctx="block" name="background-color">rgb(231,230,229)</xsl:attribute><?end when?><?end choose?>
    OR
    <?choose:?><?when:ROWNUM mod 2=0?>
    <xsl:attribute xdofo:ctx="block" name="background-color">rgb(241,235,207)</xsl:attribute>
    <?end when?>
    <?end choose?>
    OR
    Change font color for entire row based on a condition
    <?if@row:STAT='B'?><?attribute@incontext:color;'red'?><?end if?>
    Hope this helps,
