Configuring the Oracle Business Intelligence ReportUI Portlet

The Oracle BI ReportUI Portlet is a software component that displays Oracle BI Presentation Services content in a portlet in a portal server. While the Oracle BI ReportUI Portlet adheres to JSR 168 portlet specifications and should work on any JSR 168-compliant portal server, it has been tested on the following portal servers:

• Oracle Application Server Portal 10.1.4.0.0

  Additionally, the Oracle Application Server Portal requires Patch 4900785, and the OC4J instance where the Oracle BI ReportUI Portlet is to be installed requires an installed WSRP Container.

• WebSphere Portal 5.1.0.4

The implementation of the Oracle BI ReportUI Portlet is based on an existing HTML view service provided by the Oracle BI Presentation Services SOAP layer.

The connection schema works as follows:

1. The browser displaying the Oracle Application Server Portal or WebSphere Portal contains the Oracle BI ReportUI Portlet that requests an Oracle BI Presentation Services report.
2. The Oracle Application Server Portal Server or the WebSphere Portal Server receives the request and forwards it to the Bridge servlet in the Oracle BI Presentation Services Portlets Web Application.
3. The Bridge servlet contacts Oracle BI Presentation Services.
4. Oracle BI Presentation Services delivers the report information to the ReportUI portlet in the Oracle BI Presentation Services Portlets Web Application.
5. The ReportUI portlet sends the information to the Oracle Application Server Portal Server or WebSphere Portal Server which forwards it on to the user's web browser for display.
