Use the deleteapproles command to upload a JSON file containing a list of application roles that you want to delete from a specific server instance.
You execute the utility through a launcher script, datamodel.sh on UNIX and datamodel.cmd on Windows.
If the domain is installed in default folder then the location of the launcher script looks like the following:
Oracle_Home/user_projects/domains/Domain_Name/bitools/bin/datamodel.sh or datamodel.cmd on Windows
If the client install doesn't have domain names, the launcher script location is as follows:
Oracle_Home\bi\bitools\bin\datamodel.cmd
See What You Need to Know Before Using the Command and Overview of User and Application Role Commands.
Syntax
The deleteapproles command takes the following parameters:
deleteapproles -T inputfile.json[-L plugin list] -SI service_instance -U cred_username[-P cred_password] [-S hostname] [-N port_number] [-SSL} [-H]
Where
T specifies the name of the JSON input file containing the application roles to be deleted from the server instance.
L specifies a single plugin to run or to reverse the default plugin execution order. The plugins determine where the system applies the updates: to the repository, the Oracle BI Presentation Catalog, or both. For RPD and WEBCAT plugin usage information, see Overview of User and Application Role Commands.
The following options are available for L:
RPD: Specify this option to delete application roles in the repository, only.
WEBCAT: Specify this option to delete application roles in the Oracle BI Presentation Catalog, only. You must use the -L WEBCAT option when deleting application roles.
WEBCAT,RPD: Specify this option to reverse the default plugin run order. The default plugin run order is repository (RPD) and then Oracle BI Presentation Catalog (WEBCAT).
Omit this option to execute the plugins in their default order.
SI specifies the name of the service instance.
U specifies a valid user's name to be used for Oracle BI EE authentication.
P specifies the password corresponding to the user's name that you specified for U. If you do not supply the password, then you are prompted for the password when the command is run. Oracle recommends that you include a password in the command only if you are using automated scripting to run the command.
S specifies the Oracle BI EE host name. Only include this option when you are running the command from a client installation.
N specifies the Oracle BI EE port number. Only include this option when you are running the command from a client installation.
SSL specifies to use SSL to connect to the Oracle WebLogic Server to run the command. Only include this option when you are running the command from a client installation.
H displays the usage information and exits the command. Use -H or run .sh without any parameters to display the help content.
Example
datamodel.sh deleteapproles -T approlenames.json -SI bi -U weblogic -P password -S server1.example.com -N 7777 -SSL
Creating a JSON Delete Application Role Input File
Use the following syntax to create the JSON delete application role input file.
{
"Title":"Target Application Roles",
"App-Roles":[
{ "name":"<approle1>" },
{ "name":"<approle2>" },
{ "name":"<approle3>" }
]
}
