Integrating BI Publisher in BI Presentation Services User Interface


The Oracle BI Reporting and Publishing feature allows the integration of BI Publisher in the BI Presentation Services user interface. Oracle BI users access the BI Publisher application from the link More Products > BI Publisher.

BI Presentation Services must point to the BI Publisher application URL. This is done by specifying the BI Publisher application URLs in the instanceconfig.xml file for BI Presentation Services under the <AdvancedReporting> tag.

For example:

<AdvancedReporting>
.
.
   <ServerURL>http://bi-publisher.mycompany.com/xmlpserver/services/XMLPService
   </ServerURL>
   <WebURL>http://bi-publisher.mycompany.com/xmlpserver</WebURL>
   <AdminURL>http://bi-publisher.mycompany.com/xmlpserver/servlet/admin</AdminURL>
.
.
</AdvancedReporting>

where:

  • The BI Publisher application is deployed for high availability as described in Deploying Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher for High Availability.
  • The Oracle BI Publisher Administrator credentials are stored in the BI Presentation Services Credential Store, as described in the chapter on configuring BI Publisher in the Oracle Business Intelligence Infrastructure Installation and Configuration Guide.
  • When multiple BI Presentation Services instances participate in the Oracle BI deployment, the BI Publisher Administrator credentials must be stored in the Credential Store for every BI Presentation Services instance.
