Oracle BI Admin Tool: copying permissions from group to group

Hi!
I'm working with Oracle BI Admin Tool (10.1.3.4).
I have a lot of groups in the repository.
I want to create a seperate group for each department and set filter for each group. For example, group 'Market' should see data only from the Marketing department, group 'HR' should see data only from its department.
The question is the following: if I have 100 groups, do I have to set permissions to each of them manually or is there any mechanism of quick copying (function 'duplicate' is not suitable as groups are already created)?
Thank you,
Natallia

First about filtering data for specific user groups: you need to implement row level security by using session variables.
Here are some links:
http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2008/06/30/oracle-bi-ee-1013332-row-level-security-and-row-wise-intialized-session-variables/
http://www.rittmanmead.com/2007/05/13/obiee-and-row-level-security/
http://obieegeek.wordpress.com/2009/04/05/row-level-security-using-initialization-blocks-and-session-variables/
(You can find these links by using google.. ;))
Second about groups and copying privileges/permissions: I don't think it is possible to copy privileges/permissions (other than hardcoding UDML) but it is actually not necessary when you create a security model first. Let me explain: in OBIEE groups can be member of a group, and the underlying group will inherit all the permissions of the group it is member of.
So what you need to do, is to create one group with common permissions and privileges and add all the department groups to this group. If you want, you can then set the specific permissions for each group.

Help with adding a user copying permissions from another user $RoleDefinition.Name SharePoint 2010 Powershell

Hello,
I need to basically find everyplace 'ADUser1' exists and then add a new 'ADUser2' with the same permissions as the first group.
I have created a script that runs through an entire web app and finds everyplace the AD account is directly given access to and access via a group. I then need to add the new user and assign the permissions from the first ADUser, copy them. Below
is not the entire script, just where I'm trying to add the new user. The rest of the script works fine to find the first user. I'm stuck with this part: $role = $_.RoleDefinitions[$newRoleDef]. I get an error that I can call a method
on a null valued experssion.. I guess I don't know how to specify to copy the role from the first user, and use it to set the new user?
          #Get the Permissions assigned to user
           $WebUserPermissions=@()
             foreach ($RoleDefinition in $WebRoleAssignment.RoleDefinitionBindings)
                             $WebUserPermissions += $RoleDefinition.Name +";"

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to copy user permission to another user via PowerShell.
Instead of copy permission to another user, we can get the user permission, assign the permission to a group, then add the other user to the group. Now the user would get the same permssion as this user.

We can also use the third-party tool to achieve the same scenario.

Copying page from one page group to another

I need to copy one page or multiple from one page group DEV to page group TEST. I thought of using Portal Export/Import feature for the same, but it will ask for same page group at import.
Requirement is to keep one set of page group for DEV stage, when it got completed move it to TEST page group in same instance.
How we can achieve this functionality using single portal instance?
Thanks & regards,
Preet

I did not understand this and isn't working for me. :(
The message I receive when I click on the Copy link on the Navigator is:
Click "Copy Here" next to the page under which you want to create a copy of your page. Click the link next to the page group to create the copy under the root page of the page group. You can create a copy of a page only under a page in the same page group as the original page.
And it only displays the current page group with a tree structure of all the pages in the current page group (page group name being the root).
Please help me on this as I have a similar requirement and am using 10.1.2 version of Oracle Portal.

Copy permissions from one resource to the other

Hello guys,
I implemented a new UICommand that opens an popup with inputfield.
That input will be used to create a new folder named as the input value and copy a template folder (with other child folders) to that folder (with all properties and layoutSet).
It's a kind of "copy command" but that will take a template folder that we save somewhere else and copy all the content under the new created folder. My concern is how can I copy the permissions to those folders?
If I'm right the copy function on an IResource only sets the properties, the children and links but doens't handle permissions.
So how can I achieve to copy the permission for a folder and its children.
Thanks for your help,
Sunny regards,
Thomas

Ok I don't look further to this.
I will use the inheritance of permissions to resolve that problem.

Copy members from one AD Group to another

I'm still learning powershell so be gentle please
I've got the following that works
get-adgroup -filter {name -like "RDS*"} | select SamAccountName | foreach {$_.SamAccounName} {Get-ADGroupMember $_.SamAccountName}
Which works so I attempted to use that as a base to copy group members of one group to another, which lead me to
Get-adgroupmember RDS| select SamAccountName | foreach {$_.SamAccounName} {ADD-ADGroupMember NEW_RDS $_.SamAccountName}
All this does is error.
If I do the following $users = Get-adgroupmember RDS | select SamAccountName and the just type $users I get the expected the list so I' assuming the 2nd part is where I'm going wrong
Can it be done this simply?

Hi,
Yes, you can do this pretty easily. Add-ADGroupMember has a -Members parameter you can use:
Add-ADGroupMember -Identity 'New Group' -Members (Get-ADGroupMember -Identity 'Old Group' -Recursive)
The -Recursive switch is used in case the old group contains nested groups.

Is Navicat Oracle database admin tool a Oracle product?

This lightweight database tool for Oracle bear a slight resemblance to SQL Developer.
http://oracle.navicat.com
It's free of charge too so I suppose this is not a commercial software.

Well it requires a client install (and it wouldn't work with my Instant Client setup, complaining about NLS issues) rather than JDBC.
And it is a Windows (or Mac) program, rather than a Java program.
I don't think there's a lot of overlap with SQL Developer.
Its just another in a line of alternatives.

BI admin tool : Oracle OLAP vs ODBC3.5 OCI 10g/11g ...

Hi everyone,
I'm facing a problem when I try to create a repository using Oracle BI admin Tool.
In the second step of Create new repository , I have to choose between a lot of connexion types : ODBC3.5 , Oracle OLAP, OCI 10g/11g .... I don't know which of them I need to choose in my case.
In my case, I have a cube that I created using AWM, and I need to make a report that is based on that cube.
I don't really know how to proceed ...
I have Oracle BI is in a Unix server , and I installed Oracle BI admin tool client in my Windows 7.
Any idea which connexion type I should use, do I need to make an ODBC connexion for all of them ?
My comprehension of this is unclear ... any help ?
Thx all !!

Starting with OBIEE 11.1.1.5, as it understands Oracle-OLAP metadata in Oracle data dictionary, so to query data from OLAP Analytical workspaces you will always use "Oracle OLAP" as the source in BI-Admin-Tool.
When you will create report in OBIEE, it will then generate the query using the OLAP_TABLE sql function.
Note that automatically generated CUBE_TABLE views in OLAP (the ones suffixed with _VIEW) are not used at all (or even needed) when working with OBIEE 11.1.1.5+.

Help with copying permissions and roles from one user to another. Issue with RoleDefinitions

I need help please.
I’m trying to copy a role definition/name in SharePoint 2010 Powershell.
The below is only a piece of my script, but I have to find '$SearchUser" and wherever it lives (webs, lists, groups), I need to add "$account" and copy permissions
from '$SearchUser" . We are doing this to limit certain users from access our farm (by adding a new AD domain that does not contain these users, then deleting the old domain).
Every time I run it, it seems to mess up on this line:
$role = $web.RoleDefinitions.[$newRoleDef].
It is acting like the $newRoleDef is null, but it is not.
When I outputfile the $newRoleDef, it has values, such as Read, Contribute.
foreach($Web in $Site.AllWebs)
if($Web.HasUniqueRoleAssignments -eq $True)
foreach($WebRoleAssignment in $Web.RoleAssignments )
if($WebRoleAssignment.Member.userlogin)
if($WebRoleAssignment.Member.LoginName -eq $SearchUser)
$WebUserPermissions=@()
foreach ($RoleDefinition in $WebRoleAssignment.RoleDefinitionBindings)
$newRoleDef = $RoleDefinition.Name
$assignment = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPRoleAssignment($account)
$role = $web.RoleDefinitions.[$newRoleDef]
$assignment.RoleDefinitionBindings.Add($role)
$_.RoleAssignments.Add($assignment)

Oracle Admin Tool Client

Hi ,
I'm facing a lot of problems with Oracle BI admin client Tool that I installed in my Windows 7 to use my cubes ( my Oracle BI server is in a Unix machine ).
The error that I face is *[nQSError : 6001] Connection failed for Remoote Service-JavaHost-AWImportService11G with message [nQSError : 77029] Java Host is not available inside the function AWImportService11G of SAW RPC modules ...*
I'm sure my NSQConfig file is okey, with the server address and port 9810 in Javahost config. And I made sure Javahost sevice is running .
I heard that Oracle BI admin tool Client is a light version of the whole Oracle BI, so there are some missing components ... I thought about unstalling the whole Oracle BI in my windows 7 machine to use my cubes that are in the unix machine.
Do you think it's a good idea ? is there anyone facing the same problem ?
Thax all !
Edited by: 969348 on 23 nov. 2012 05:47

Oh, I mean uninsall Oracle BI Admin Tool Client , and install the whole Oracle Business Intelligence in my Windows 7 32 bits.
Well, the whole story is that :
-I have a Oracle BI system in a remoot unix server.
-I used AWM in my Win7 32 , to create cubes : Now, I need to administrate my cubes to make reports.
-So, I installed Oracle BI Admin tool Client in my Win7 machine : But when I try to create a New repository to get my cubes , I get the nQSError 60001 and 77029 Errors, even If I made the right changes.
-Now, As I'm stuck, I'm thinking about an alternative... I don't know if installing the whole Oracle BI in my Win7 machine is a good alternative ... And if I do so, what type of Installation I need to follow ...
Thanks for your reply

How to find the folder (EBS_R12) in OEL 5 after copy/paste from Windows 7 ?

Folks,
Hello. I have just installed Oracle Linux 5 as Guest OS on the top of VMPlayer. Host OS is Windows 7.
I downloaded Oracle E-Business Suite R12 from edelivery into Windows 7 in a folder(EBS_R12) on my LapTop screen.
In order to install EBS R12 into Oracle Linux 5, I copy/paste the folder EBS_R12 into Oracle Linux 5 screen. The file size is about 50GB. After coply/paste is completed successfully, I cannot find where is the folder (EBS_R12) in the Guest OS Oracle Linux 5.
Can any folks tell me where is the folder (EBS_R12) in Oracle Linux 5 after copy/paste from Windows 7 ?

Hi,
After coply/paste is completed successfully, I cannot find where is the folder (EBS_R12) in the Guest OS Oracle Linux 5.Was the copy/paste successful.
If yes then you can do the following
#find / -name EBS_R12 -type d -print
(Assuming you copied the folder "EBS_R12" , But not its contents).

Admin tool 10.1.3.4.1 hangs with Vista

I am trying to log in to the Oracle BI Admin tool through an ODBC connection but it hangs on the login screen. Other members on my team are able to log into the environment and the only noticable difference is that I am using Windows Vista on my PC. This was for an upgraded version to 10.1.3.4.1. I was previously able to login through ODBC through 10.1.3.4.0. Are there any differences or additional configurations that need to occur in order to login?

Windows Vista 32 bit is supported, not so sure about 64 bit. Which version are you using?
On 64 bit Windows there are 2 odbc data source admin utilities.
(1) Windows\system32\odbcad32.exe
(2) Windows\SysWOW64\
Can you check that your data source is defined in both?
I believe that Oracle BI EE Admin tool looks in (2) for the odbc data sources. Whereas the Oracle client that you install looks in (1).
The following link offers advice on getting 64 bit Windows and OBIEE working:

Oracle BI Administration Tool - OCI problems

Hi
I've experienced the following problems with the Admin tool, when importing metadata and data through an OCI connection pool :
Oracle BI Admin tool crashes when I try to "View Data" on a table containing a SPACE in one of the columns of a row. Strange but true. e.g. I created a dummy table to prove this. Table ABC, Row 1 Col1 = ' ', Col2 = 'ABC', Row 2 Col1 = 'X', Col2 = 'X'.
The admin tool give me the following message The instruction at ….. referenced memory at ……… The memory could not be “read”
When I update the SPACE to NULL or something else, it does not crash.
Also when introducing the OCI connection pool, the Presentation Server just hangs, when I try to login to it.
These problems seem to be quite strange. I'm running ORACLE BI EE 1.0.1.3.3 on Windows 2003 server.
Has anyone experienced these problems ? Please help.
Thanks
Cheers
Greg

Hi Venkat
The SPACE error appears in a pop up window and reads :
Title (Online) Oracle BI Administration Tool - AnalyticsWeb: AdminTool.exe - Application Error.
Message : The instruction at "0x78144a51" referenceed memory at "0x00000005". The memory could not be "read".
Click on OK to terminate the program
Click on CANCEL to debug the program
As for the presentation services, I think the initial install was the vanilla install for Windows. Presentation services was probably re-installed using the same default settings.
As per my previous reply to Adrian, the problems do not appear on Linux, using the same Windows repository file with the same OCI connectivity set up.
Thanks
Cheers
Greg
