Unable to view BI Publisher report with SSO configuration enabled
Hi All,
Can anybody let us know the configuration of the BI publisher with SSO enabled. We are unable to see any of the BI Publisher reports. without SSO configuration we have integration working perfectly fine with the OBIEE and Publisher.
We followed the configuration steps to integrate BI Publisher with Oracle SSO. The following are the steps:
1. deploy analytics.ear as a new application 'analyticsSOAP' in OAS
2. protect analyticsSOAP in mod_osso.conf file under OAS
3. change OBIEE Presentation services configuration to use analyticsSOAP/saw.dll
4. run credstore utility to encrypt password
5.restart xmlp server
6.restart http server
7.restart obiee server
8. restart obiee presentation service
Still we have issues when we try to accesses BI Publisher reports by clicking more Products -> BI Publisher or view reports directly on the OBIEE Dashboard
Thanks in advance.
configure one more virtual path which is unprotected from site minder. we had similar issue for Marketing and resolved by this virtual path.

Unable to configure BI Publisher report with Primavera Unifier
Hello Friends,
We have installed Primavera Unifier 9.14 release on one Linux machine and OBIEE 11.1.1.7.0 is installed on another Linux machine.
For configuration, we shared OBIEE installed folder with the Primavera Linux machine.We followed all the steps that are mentioned in the configuration guide for OBIEE(BI Publisher) with Unifier.
While configuring BI Publisher Reports with Unifier,we are getting following error: Test connection failed.
"failed to create URL for the wsdl location: 'META_INF/wsdl/Catalogservice.wsdl' retrying as local file.
no protocol: /META_INF/wsdl/CatalogService.wsdl"
Unifier Log message:
ERROR: getCatalogInfo.ex=javax.xml.ws.WebServiceException: Provider com.sun.xml.ws.spi.ProviderImpl not found.
We have tested BIP login on Unifier application server machine and its working fine.
BIP END URL used: http://hostname:9704
BIP User: BIPUSER123
BIP Password: BIPUSER123
BIP Report Folder: ReportFolderName
BIPUSER123 user has admin privileges and also ReportFolder is having required access.
Is there any workaround or are we missing some configurations?

XML Publisher Report with PL/SQL
Hi
Like to know how to develop the XML Publisher Report with PL/SQL, i did the following
1. created a pkg like as below
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY APPS.TEST_XMLTAG_PKG AS
PROCEDURE main (errbuf OUT VARCHAR2,
retcode OUT NUMBER
) IS
BEGIN
DECLARE
ctx DBMS_XMLGEN.ctxHandle;
xml CLOB;
BEGIN
ctx := dbms_xmlgen.newcontext('select * from scott.emp');
dbms_xmlgen.setrowtag(ctx, 'MY-ROW-START-HERE');
xml := dbms_xmlgen.getxml(ctx);
dbms_output.put_line(xml);
Fnd_file.put_line (fnd_file.LOG, XML);
END;
END;
END TEST_XMLTAG_PKG;
this pkg produces the output with xml tag in the view log.
I have registered the conc program & xml rtf but it does not produce the output in PDF, , I am not able to get the xml tag when i click the Diagnostics --> View XML.
can you please let me know the next steps involved.
Regards
YramI think the problem is because there is no begin and end tag. save the xml from the logfile and open with xml editor or IE.. then you will see the problem.
add Begin and end tag...then you should be fine.. i.e
fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.output,'<EMP_DATA>'); -- begin Tag
tx := dbms_xmlgen.newcontext('select * from scott.emp');
dbms_xmlgen.setrowtag(ctx, 'MY-ROW-START-HERE');
xml := dbms_xmlgen.getxml(ctx);
dbms_output.put_line(xml);
Fnd_file.put_line (fnd_file.LOG, XML);
fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.output,'</EMP_DATA>'); -- End Tag
Hope this helps..>Good Luck

Unable to print xml publisher report in excel format in R12
Hi All,
We are unable to print xml publisher report in excel format in R12. We were able to see the excel output but it's printing junk characters while printing and it's printing without any issue with PDF format.
Please let me know how to fix this issue.
Thanks,
RajaHi Raja,
I presume you have gone through the debugging process of testing your template locally first to get the expected result.....
If yes, this note might probably be helpful "Changing Output Format to RTF or Excel in XML Publisher Request Does Not Display Output Correctly (Doc ID 404512.1)"
Good Luck,

Crystal Report against ECC 6.0 with SSO configured
I created a simple report against the ECC 6.0 Article table and saved it to InfoView. I can run the report fine, but when others run it they get an error stating the logon parameters are incomplete. We are in the process of configuring single sign on and have created other Crystal Reports going against ECC 6.0 with Business Views where SSO turned on in the data connection. Everyone can refresh those reports with no problems. Is their some report setting that needs to be set for Crystal Reports using a data source directly against ECC 6.0 tables?
We have multiple reasons for implementing SNC.
The main reason we have enabled SNC is to simply the users experience while working in the SAP environment. We are going live this month with Plant Maintenance, SRM, Project System, General Ledge and Asset Management reporting cubes in our BW environment as well as in our ECC 6.0 environment. We have set up SAP Portal and have created iviews to BOBJ folders and reports. Users are authenticated once by logging on to the Lan. Once logged on we would like them to seemlessly run SAP transactions and Business Objects reports through the SAP Portal based on their job function. Each user has security setup in BOBJ and SAP to allow access to transactions and reports appropriate for their job function.
We have three types of SAP reports and data connectors.
- One set of Crystal reports go against ECC 6.0 through Business Views with a Data Connection set up for SSO.
- One set of WEBI reports goes against BW queries though Universe Connections set up for SSO.
- One set of Crystal reports go directly against ECC 6.0 tables.
We currently have two issues:
1) The Crystal reports going directly against ECC 6.0 tables are returning the error
Error - The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect.
2) When we send a link to any report using OpenDocument if the user is not logged on to InfoView they get a rather long error message:
Account Information not recognized: Active Directory Authentication failed to log you on. Please contact your system admin....
Our hardware and server setup is a load balancer connected to a cluster of two Tomcat servers connected to two BOBJ servers. -

11i EBS XML Publisher Report with Multiple Data Source
I need to create XML Publisher report in 11i EBS pulling data from another 10.7 EBS Instance as well as 11i EBS in single report.
I am not allowed to create extract or use db links.
My problem is how to create Data Source Connection using Java Concurrent Program.
The approach I am trying is
1. create Java concurrent program to establish connection to 10.7 instance.
2. Will write the SQL queries in Data Tempalete with 2 Data Source 1 for 11i EBS and 2 for 10.7 EBS
3. Template will show the data from both query in 1 report..
Is there any other way to proceed using datasource API...
thanksoption1:
The query should be same @ detail level, only the template has to be different for summary and details.
@runtime, user can choose to see the detail/summary
Disadvantage, if the data is huge,
advantage , only one report.
option2:
create two separate reports summary and details
and create diff data and diff layout and keep it as different report
Advantage, query will perform based on the user run report, summary/detail, so that you can write efficient query.
Dis advantage , two reports query/template to be maintained. -
Link to BI Publisher report with parameters
I want to link from one BIP report to another. I have created a BI Publisher report using the Layout Editor. Using the following link, I can connect to the BIP report when directly pasted into the address bar in firefox.
http://xxxxxxxxx/xmlpserver/Sample Reports/Developmment_ML/Report_Fin_Ledger_MN.xdo?_xpf=&_xpt=0&_xdo=%2FSample%20Reports%2FDevelopmment_ML%2FReport_Fin_Ledger_MN.xdo&_xmode=&_paramsCompany=00050&_xt=LO_Fin_Account_Ledger_02&_xf=html&_xautorun=true
Note: I obtained the syntax for this link by viewing the target report and selecting Actions --> Share Report Link
I created a second BI Publisher report using the Layout Editor. Within the Layout Editor, I modify the Properties of one of the fields. In the box next to "URL", I past the same link as above.
However, when I view the report in HTML format, the link truncates anything after the first xdo to only return:
http://xxxxxxxxx/xmlpserver/Sample Reports/Developmment_ML/Report_Fin_Ledger_MN.xdo
As a result it does not pass the parameter value and run the report.
Any assistance would be helpful. Thanks!Hi,
I found a way to do this using javascript in "HTML Header" in the Page section of an APEX Page
<script type="text/javascript">
function invokeURL()
var parameterId = document.getElementById("P2_PARAMETER").value;
alert ("hello "+objectiveId);
var url =
"http://xxhost:port/xmlpserver/XXFOLDER_NAME/xxxx_test_report2.2/xxxx_test_report2.2.xdo?_xpf=&_xpt=0&_xdo=%2XXXX_XXX%2Fxxxx_test_report2.2%2Fxxxx_test_report2.2.xdo&G_PARAMETER_NAME="+parameterId+"&_xt=defaultlayout&_xf=pdf&_xmode=2";
window.open(url);
</script>
This can invoked in a button by passing "javascript:invokeURL();" to the "Optional URL Redirect" section.
Thanks

BI Publisher Report with Multiple data models
I have an Oracle Report with two different data model(querys) and Layouts for Summary and Details. When the user Choses Summary it execute the summary data model query and display the result in summary Repeating frame Layout and when user choses Details it execute the other query and uses the other layout.
Now I am creating the same report in Stand alone BI Publisher. As a company standard we are using Data Template for Data model. How can I accomplish the same feature I mentioned above in BI Publisher? Meaning How can I control and execute the querys in BIP based on a parameter "Summary" or "Details" ?
Can Someone help

Post Author: Shikha Tomar
CA Forum: JAVA
Hello,
We have used DB2 views in Crystal Report 11.
We are able to view the report through crystal report tool but while using this rpt file in java application,the DB2 view is not found.
It gives an error: "table SCDC.View_report not found."
SCDC.View_report=Name of the view used in rpt
Code for calling rpt is as below:
The line marked as red gives the error:
