Step 2: Disabling Alerts for Updates from the Oracle BI Presentation Catalog

When end users synchronize an application, they will see the same alerts on the local dashboard that they see on Oracle BI Interactive Dashboards on the Oracle BI Server. The presence of these local alerts is helpful for keeping the local catalog current during those times when users do not log into Oracle BI Interactive Dashboards for long periods. This feature is enabled by default for Oracle BI Disconnected Analytics.

As the Oracle BI Administrator, you can choose to disable this feature for end users. To do so, open the instanceconfig.xml file on the Oracle BI Server and uncomment the <Disconnected> element at the end of the file. In the <ArchiveAlerts> element within the <Disconnected> element, change the setting from "true" to "false".

For complete information on the instanceconfig.xml file, see the Oracle Business Intelligence Presentation Services Administration Guide.
