Viewing Information About Active Delivers iBot Sessions


Using the iBot Session Management screen in Oracle BI Presentation Services Administration, you can view the following information about currently active iBot sessions triggered by Oracle BI Scheduler:

  • A list of active iBots per session
  • The recipients for each active iBot

When one or more iBot sessions are active, information about each iBot session appears, such as the Job ID and the Instance ID assigned to the iBot session by the Scheduler. Clicking the link in the Primary iBot column for an iBot session opens a popup window and navigates to the iBot session's definition in Delivers.

Expanding the iBot session shows the individual iBots (one iBot, or multiple iBots if they are chained). The state of the iBot is one of the following:

  • Created
  • Populated
  • Conditional Request Resolved

Expanding a specific iBot in a particular session shows the recipients for the iBot and their type, such as the Engineering recipients defined in a group, or individual users. When the recipient is a group, the individual members of the group are not listed. Clicking the link in the Path column for an individual iBot opens a popup window and navigates to the iBot's definition in Delivers.

NOTE:  When iBots are chained, the recipient list is dependent upon the parent iBot. The recipients are shown for the parent iBot definition only, and not for the actual execution of chained iBots.
