Controlling Delivery Options for iBots


Delivery options (that is, delivery devices and delivery profiles) determine how the content of iBots gets delivered to users. Delivery options can be configured in the SA System subject area or by users. (For more information about the SA System subject area, see the Oracle Business Intelligence Server Administration Guide.)

You can control the availability of the delivery options configured in the SA System subject area and the user-defined delivery options by adding the following elements to the Oracle BI Presentation Services configuration file (instanceconfig.xml):

Element
Description

SystemSubjectArea

NOTE:  These elements are placed after the <ServerInstance> element in the instanceconfig.xml file.

Specifies whether to recognize the delivery devices and deliver profiles configured in the SA System subject area:

  • True. Recognizes the delivery devices and delivery profiles configured in the SA System subject area and displays them on the My Account screen.
  • False. Ignores the delivery devices and deliver profiles configured in the SA System subject area and does not display them on the My Account screen.

The default is True.

IgnoreWebcatDeliveryProfiles

NOTE:  These elements are placed after the <ServerInstance> element in the instanceconfig.xml file and between the <Alerts> </Alerts> elements.

Specifies whether to ignore user-defined delivery devices and deliver profiles:

  • True. Ignores the user-defined delivery devices and deliver profiles and does not display them on the My Account screen. (This means that users will not be able to create new delivery devices and delivery profiles.)
  • False. Recognizes the user-defined delivery devices and delivery profiles and displays them on the My Account screen.

The default is False.

NOTE:  The SystemSubjectArea and IgnoreWebcatDeliveryProfiles elements take effect only if the SA System subject area is being used.

The following entry is an example:

<ServerInstance>

<SystemSubjectArea>false</SystemSubjectArea>

<Alerts>

<IgnoreWebcatDeliveryProfiles>false</IgnoreWebcatDeliveryProfiles>

</Alerts>

</ServerInstance>
