For information about using methods in the Oracle BI Systems Management API to change configuration settings, see Chapter 23, "Introducing the Oracle BI Systems Management API."
Users can create actions in the Oracle BI Presentation Services user interface. An action is an operation or process that can be invoked explicitly by a user clicking an action link. Actions can also be invoked automatically, as the final step of an agent.
You can configure for the use of actions in your organization. For a comprehensive discussion of how to use the Action Framework to enable actions for external systems, including a complete description of each configuration setting and detailed examples, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Integrator's Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition.
Oracle Marketing Segmentation handles segmentation, which involves dividing a target audience into different segments given different criteria based on the subject areas. When a segment is ready, users create lists of the contacts and accounts that satisfy the criteria for the segment. Users then specify whether to store the generated lists on the file system, in a database, or on a specified Content Server.
For users to store the lists on a Content Server, you as the administrator must configure the connection to the Content Server by specifying the appropriate URL and credentials. You use Fusion Middleware Control to make this specification. You can also manually specify additional settings in the instanceconfig.xml file.
You can configure for connections to the Marketing Content Server, as described in the following sections:
Before you begin this procedure, ensure that you are familiar with the information in Section 3.2, "Using Fusion Middleware Control to Update Oracle Business Intelligence Configuration Settings."
To use Fusion Middleware Control to configure the connection to the Marketing Content Server:
Go to the Business Intelligence Overview page, as described in Section 2.2.3, "Using Fusion Middleware Control to Manage Oracle Business Intelligence System Components."
Display the Marketing tab of the Deployment page.
Click Lock and Edit Configuration to enable changes to be made.
Complete the elements using the descriptions in the help topic for the page. Click the Help button on the page to access the page-level help for the following options:
URL option
Username option

Click Apply, then click Activate Changes to execute your changes and release the lock to enable another system administrator to make changes
Return to the Business Intelligence Overview page and click Restart.
For information about using methods in the Oracle BI Systems Management API to configure the connection to the content server, see Chapter 23, "Introducing the Oracle BI Systems Management API."
Use various elements in the instanceconfig.xml file to change additional settings for the connection to the Marketing Content Server.
Before you begin this procedure, ensure that you are familiar with the information in Section 3.4, "Using a Text Editor to Update Configuration Settings."
To manually edit additional settings for the Marketing Content Server connection:
Open the instanceconfig.xml file for editing, as described in Section 3.6, "Where Are Configuration Files Located?"
Locate the section in which you must add the elements that are described in the following list:
SocketTimeoutSec: Specifies the number of seconds that the socket waits for the Content Server to respond while transferring records. The default value is 60. There is no minimum or maximum value.
FileSizeMB: Specifies the size in megabytes of files that are generated during ListGeneration and inserted into the Content Server. The default is 10. The minimum size is 1MB and the maximum size is 50MB.
Include the elements and their ancestor elements as appropriate, as shown in the following example:
<ServerInstance>
<MarketingContentServer>
<URL>myhost.com:6666/st1b2rep/idcplg</URL>
<SocketTimeoutSec>120</SocketTimeoutSec>
<FileSizeMB>5</FileSizeMB>
</MarketingContentServer>
</ServerInstance>
You do not specify values for user name and password in the instanceconfig.xml file. Instead you specify values in Fusion Middleware Control that are stored securely within the central credentials wallet, along with all other user names and passwords.
Also, do not change the URL element. This value is centrally managed by Fusion Middleware Control.
Save your changes and close the file.
Restart Oracle Business Intelligence.
Connections to data sources are defined in the Oracle BI repository. Repository developers use the Administration Tool to configure data source connections by importing metadata and configuring connection pools. See "Importing Metadata and Working with Data Sources" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Metadata Repository Builder's Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition for more information.
You might need to update connection pool information in the repository during migrations to production and other environments. You can use the Oracle BI Server XML API to automate these connection pool changes. See "Moving from Test to Production Environments" in Oracle Fusion Middleware XML Schema Reference for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition for more information.
You can integrate Oracle Business Intelligence with Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management Workspace, after appropriate versions of the two components are installed. Oracle BI Publisher integrates with EPM Workspace when installed as part of the Oracle Business Intelligence Suite. BI Publisher cannot integrate with EPM Workspace in standalone mode. As a result of this integration, users can log into EPM Workspace and seamlessly use Oracle Business Intelligence and BI Publisher without an additional login challenge.
You must perform configuration steps to enable the integration, as described in this chapter. For information on using Oracle Business Intelligence within EPM Workspace, see the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management Workspace documentation in the Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System Release library at the following location:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/index.htm
The following sections describe how to configure for the integration:
Notes:
If you used the Workspace integration with Oracle Business Intelligence Release 10g, then you can upgrade to Oracle Business Intelligence Release 11.1.1.7, but the integration with EPM Workspace is not upgraded. You must reconfigure for the integration using the procedures that are described in this chapter.
Before configuring the integration, ensure that the following are true:
That you use the appropriate versions of Oracle Business Intelligence and EPM Workspace, as described in the system requirements and certification documentation. For information, see Section 1.8, "System Requirements and Certification."
That you have installed and configured EPM Workspace according to Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System Installation and Configuration Guide, which is available from the Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System Release library.
That Oracle Business Intelligence and EPM Workspace have been configured to use the same identity store. For information on identity stores, see the following sources:
Oracle Fusion Middleware Security Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition
Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System Security Administration Guide
That you have imported the SSO_TOKEN key from the EPM Workspace instance to the Oracle Business Intelligence instance. For information, see Section 11.6, "Configuring Oracle Business Intelligence to Use Hyperion SSO Tokens when Communicating with Essbase, Hyperion Financial Management, and EPM Workspace."
That the src directory contains the EPM system reg.properties file and that the ORACLE_HOME\instances\instance1\config\foundation\11.1.2.0 directory contains the reg.properties file for Oracle Business Intelligence. The src directory is stored in the regSyncUtil_OBIEE-TO-EPM.zip file. You unzip the file and copy the reg.properties file from the EPM system.
You must copy and paste the INTEROP-SDK.JAR file from the EPM Workspace installation to the Oracle Business Intelligence installation. The procedure varies depending on whether you use EPM Workspace Release 11.1.2.3 or later or whether you use earlier versions.
To copy the JAR file:
Change to the following directory in the Oracle Business Intelligence installation and make a backup copy of the INTEROP-SDK.JAR file:
ORACLE_BI1\common\SharedServices\11.1.2.0\lib
Copy the INTEROP-SDK.JAR file in the following directory of the EPM Workspace installation.
ORACLE_HOME\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\common\SharedServices\11.1.2.0\lib
Paste the INTEROP-SDK.JAR file from the EPM Workspace installation to overwrite the version in the Oracle Business Intelligence installation.
Note:
This approach applies only when registering Oracle Business Intelligence with EPM Workspace 11.1.2.3.00. It is incompatible with Essbase and associated components (release 11.1.2.2) that you install with Oracle Business Intelligence 11.1.1.7.
To copy the JAR files:
Change to the following directory in the Oracle Business Intelligence installation and make a backup copy of the INTEROP-SDK.JAR file:
ORACLE_BI1\common\SharedServices\11.1.2.0\lib
Copy the INTEROP-SDK.JAR file in the following directory of the EPM Workspace installation:
ORACLE_HOME\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\common\SharedServices\11.1.2.0\lib
Paste the INTEROP-SDK.JAR file from the EPM Workspace installation to overwrite the version in the Oracle Business Intelligence installation.
Change to the following directory in the Oracle Business Intelligence installation and make a backup copy of the css.JAR file:
ORACLE_BI1\common\CSS\11.1.2.0\lib
Copy the css.JAR file in the following directory of the EPM Workspace installation:
ORACLE_HOME\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\ common\CSS\11.1.2.0\lib
Paste the css.JAR file from the EPM Workspace installation to overwrite the version in the Oracle Business Intelligence installation.
Change to the following directory and make a backup copy of the registry-api.jar file:
ORACLE_HOME\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\ common\jlib\11.1.2.0
Paste the registry-api.jar file from the EPM Workspace installation to overwrite the version in the Oracle Business Intelligence installation.
ORACLE_BI1\common\jlib\11.1.2.0
To restore the Oracle Business Intelligence JAR files:
Change to the following directory in the Oracle Business Intelligence installation and copy the backed-up INTEROP-SDK.JAR file:
ORACLE_BI1\common\SharedServices\11.1.2.0\lib
Change to the following directory in the Oracle Business Intelligence installation and copy the backed-up css.JAR file:
ORACLE_BI1\common\CSS\11.1.2.0\lib
Change to the following directory and copy the backed-up registry-api.jar file:
ORACLE_HOME\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\ common\jlib\11.1.2.0
You must register Oracle Business Intelligence with EPM Workspace. Before registering, ensure that the following are true:
That the properties in the registration file are correct before you use any arguments. The register, view, and clean arguments require that the registration file be populated with correct properties. Use the product and instance registration files that ship with Oracle Business Intelligence.
That you have the database user name and password for the Hyperion installation and the user name and password for Hyperion Shared Services. You must enter these values during the registration process.
That you can write to the .properties, .product, and .instance files before editing files and running the registration utility.
That the Oracle Home, the Oracle BI Home, and the Oracle BI Instance in the hyperionregistry\HSSRegistration.bat file refer to the correct paths.
To register Oracle Business Intelligence with EPM Workspace:
Update the properties that are described in Table 11-1 in the Registration.properties file in the ORACLE_BI_HOME/ bifoundation/web/bin/hyperionregistry/config directory.
At the command prompt, change to the ORACLE_BI_HOME/ bifoundation/web/bin/hyperionregistry directory and run the HSSRegistration.bat or HSSRegistration.sh file with the following arguments:
register — Registers Oracle Business Intelligence with both the Hyperion Installation and Hyperion Shared Services.
view — Lists the Oracle Business Intelligence registration information from both the Hyperion Installation and Hyperion Shared Services.
clean — Removes Oracle Business Intelligence registration information from both the Hyperion Installation and Hyperion Shared Services.
For example, to view the registration information, enter the following command:
HSSRegistration.bat view
Use the help argument for assistance in editing the Registration.properties file.
Run EPM System Configuration to configure the web server for the EPM instance.
Note:
Do not register Oracle Business Intelligence from the EPM System Configuration, because that can cause issues with the registration. Run only the web server configuration.
Stop and restart Foundation Services.
Use the administration console (interop) of Hyperion Shared Services to provision users of Hyperion Shared Services to list application menus for Oracle Business Intelligence.

You must manually configure various proxies and contexts for use with Oracle Business Intelligence within EPM Workspace.
To add proxies for Oracle Business Intelligence in EPM Workspace:
Stop the EPM OHS Server.
On the computer on which EPM Workspace is installed, change to the following directory:
EPM_HOMEMiddleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\httpConfig\ohs\config\OHS\ohs_component
Open the httpd.conf file for editing and locate the following two proxy sections for Presentation Services and BI Publisher near the end of the file, which were inserted automatically as part of Step 3: Registering Oracle Business Intelligence with EPM Workspace.
ProxyPass /analytics http://host-name:port-num/analytics ProxyPassReverse /analytics http://host-name:port-num/analytics ProxyPass /xmlpserver http://host-name:port-num/xmlpserver ProxyPassReverse /xmlpserver http://host-name:port-num/xmlpserver
Add the following lines for proxies after the lines for Presentation Services and BI Publisher:
//for the Oracle BI for Microsoft Office client ProxyPass /biofficeclient http://BI-host-name:BI-port-num/biofficeclient ProxyPassReverse /biofficeclient http://BI-host-name:BI-port-num/biofficeclient //for the Download link ProxyPass /bicontent http://BI-host-name:BI-port-num/ bicontent ProxyPassReverse /bicontent http://BI-host-name:BI-port-num/ bicontent //for BI Composer ProxyPass /bicomposer http://BI-host-name:BI-port-num/bicomposer ProxyPassReverse /bicomposer http://BI-host-name:BI-port-num/bicomposer
Save your changes and close the file.
Restart the EPM OHS Server.
You must configure Oracle Business Intelligence and EPM Workspace for Single Sign-On (SSO).
To configure SSO for the integration of Oracle Business Intelligence with EPM Workspace:
Follow the steps in Section 11.6.3, "Enabling Oracle Business Intelligence to Accept a Hyperion SSO Token when Integrating Oracle Business Intelligence with EPM Workspace".
Configure Oracle Business Intelligence to use an SSO provider of "Custom," as described in "Enabling SSO Authentication Using Fusion Middleware Control" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Security Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition
Edit the instanceconfig.xml file to add the HyperionCSS authentication schema by performing these steps:
Open the instanceconfig.xml file for editing, as described in Section 3.6, "Where Are Configuration Files Located?"
Locate the Authentication element and add "HyperionCSS" to the EnabledSchemas setting, as shown in the following example:
<ServerInstance>
<Authentication>
<EnabledSchemas>UidPwd,Impersonate,UidPwd-soap,Impersonate-soap,HyperionCSS</EnabledSchemas>
</Authentication>
</ServerInstance>
Save your changes and close the file.
Edit the bridgeconfig.properties file to enable HyperionCSS authentication by performing these steps:
Open the file for editing from the following directory:
user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain\config\fmwconfig\biinstances\coreapplication
In the file, edit the following mandatory properties:
oracle.bi.presentation.hyperioncssauthenticatorfilter.Enabled=true
oracle.bi.presentation.hyperioncssauthenticatorfilter.SetAuthSchema=true
In the file, edit the following optional property to specify the directory for storing log files. The default value is the Java temp directory.
oracle.bi.presentation.hyperioncssauthenticatorfilter.CssLogFolder = log_directory
Save your changes and close the file.
Restart Oracle BI Presentation Services.
Use the Hyperion Shared Services console to provision EPM System groups and roles for each user. To provision roles, use Fusion Middleware Control, as described in Oracle Fusion Middleware Security Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition.
You can configure Oracle Business Intelligence to generate a Hyperion Single Sign-On (SSO) token when connecting to Essbase and Hyperion Financial Management (HFM) data sources. The same functionality enables Oracle Business Intelligence to accept a Hyperion SSO token for authenticating a user when Oracle Business Intelligence is integrated with EPM Workspace.
This section contains the following topics:
When following the procedures for configuring to use tokens, ensure that you have met the following prerequisites:
This configuration involves storing a shared secret in Oracle Business Intelligence's version of the EPM Registry. Because only one shared secret can be stored, if there is a requirement to use this mechanism against several different deployments of the EPM system or Essbase, then all deployments must use the same shared secret.
The users of Oracle Business Intelligence and the EPM system must use the same identity store. This requirement means that Oracle Business Intelligence must be configured to use the same identity store through security in Oracle Fusion Middleware as the Essbase or HFM data source is using through Hyperion Shared Services.
Before enabling to generate a token, see Section 11.6.1, "Prerequisites for Configuring to Use Tokens."
When using Essbase or Hyperion Financial Management as a data source for the BI Server, you can configure the BI Server to authenticate the end user against the data source using a Hyperion Shared Services token rather than specifying a user name and password in the connection pool. This token enables data security to be applied in the source system. You can achieve this application by configuring the connection pool for SSO as described in this section. See Oracle Fusion Middleware Metadata Repository Builder's Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition for complete information on connection pool options.
The configuration that is described in this section is independent of front-end SSO configuration for authenticating into Oracle Business Intelligence. For example a user can log into Oracle Business Intelligence using a user name and password, or using a non-Hyperion SSO configuration such as Oracle Access Manager. In these cases, you can configure the BI Server to generate a Hyperion SSO token when a user connects to an Essbase or HFM data source.
Follow the steps in Section 11.6.4, "Common Steps for Enabling Oracle Business Intelligence to Generate or Accept a Hyperion SSO Token" to enable Oracle Business Intelligence to generate a Hyperion SSO token that is accepted by a target Essbase or HFM data source.
Note:
If you use Essbase installed with Oracle Business Intelligence, then you do not need to perform the steps in Section 11.6.4, "Common Steps for Enabling Oracle Business Intelligence to Generate or Accept a Hyperion SSO Token" to enable SSO for Essbase data sources installed using the Oracle Business Intelligence installer. For Essbase data sources installed using the Oracle Business Intelligence installer, you must only select SSO in the data source connection pool.
After these steps are complete, you can select SSO in the General tab of the connection pool object that corresponds to the Essbase or Hyperion Financial Management data source in the repository for Oracle Business Intelligence. You can also select the Virtual Private Database option in the corresponding database object to protect cache entries.
Before enabling to generate a token, see Section 11.6.1, "Prerequisites for Configuring to Use Tokens."
When Oracle Business Intelligence is integrated with EPM Workspace, Oracle Business Intelligence is configured to accept a Hyperion Shared Services token as the SSO mechanism. This configuration means that a user can navigate to Oracle Business Intelligence within EPM Workspace without being challenged to log into Oracle Business Intelligence.
The steps required to integrate Oracle Business Intelligence into EPM Workspace are described in Section 11.5, "Configuring for Integration with EPM Workspace." One of the prerequisite steps in that section is to enable Oracle Business Intelligence to accept a Hyperion SSO token for authentication. The required configuration for this prerequisite step is described in Section 11.6.4, "Common Steps for Enabling Oracle Business Intelligence to Generate or Accept a Hyperion SSO Token."
Once that configuration has been performed, you continue with the steps that are described in Section 11.5, "Configuring for Integration with EPM Workspace."
The steps to configure Oracle Business Intelligence to generate or accept a Hyperion SSO token when connecting to Essbase, HFM, and EPM Workspace are different, depending on which release of Enterprise Performance Management you are using. Refer to the certification matrix for Oracle Business Intelligence to verify that the version of Oracle Business Intelligence that you are using is certified to work with the version of Enterprise Performance Management with which you are integrating.
This section contains the following topics:
Before enabling to generate or accept a token, see Section 11.6.1, "Prerequisites for Configuring to Use Tokens."
To configure Oracle Business Intelligence for shared token generation when connecting to Essbase and Hyperion Financial Management and to accept tokens when integrated into EPM Workspace Release 11.1.2.1 or later (installed with the EPM System Installer), you first run the runRegSyncUtil utility, then you run an epmsys_registry command.
To enable Oracle Business Intelligence to generate or accept a Hyperion SSO token:
Locate the regSyncUtil_OBIEE-TO-EPM.zip file in the BI_ORACLE_HOME/common/CSS/11.1.2.0 directory and extract it to the same location.
Copy the reg.properties file from the system where Essbase or Hyperion Financial Management is installed:
EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE/config/foundation/11.1.2.0
to the following location on the system where Oracle Business Intelligence is installed:
BI_ORACLE_HOME/common/CSS/11.1.2.0/regSyncUtil/src
On Linux systems, make runRegSyncUtil.sh executable using the following command:
chmod +x runRegSyncUtil.sh
Open runRegSyncEditUtil.sh (or runRegSyncEditUtil.bat on Windows systems) for editing. You can find the runRegSyncEditUtil file in the BI_ORACLE_HOME/common/CSS/11.1.2.0/regSyncUtil directory.
In the file, update the ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_INSTANCE environment variables as appropriate for the given Oracle Business Intelligence environment. Note that ORACLE_HOME should be equivalent to MW_HOME/Oracle_BI1 and ORACLE_INSTANCE should be equivalent to MW_HOME/instances/instancen.
Save and close the file.
Run the utility. The following example shows how to run the utility on Linux:
BI_ORACLE_HOME/common/CSS/11.1.2.0/regSyncUtil/runRegSyncUtil.sh
Run the following epmsys_registry.sh command:
BI_ORACLE_INSTANCE/config/foundation/11.1.2.0/epmsys_registry.sh removeproperty
SHARED_SERVICES_PRODUCT/@applicationId
Restart the BI Domain, including the Administration and Managed Servers.
Restart all OPMN processes.
If the BI Domain has the "virtualize" property set to "true," then perform the following steps to set a system property that enables the CSS to use the appropriate attribute for GUIDs:
In the MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/bin directory, edit the setDomainEnv.sh file on UNIX or .cmd on Windows using the syntax appropriate for your operating system and shell.
Add a Java system property after the EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES line, as shown in the following example for the Windows platform:
When you integrate with EPM System Release 11.1.2.1, add the Java system property as follows:
set JAVA_PROPERTIES=%JAVA_PROPERTIES% %EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES%
set JAVA_PROPERTIES=%JAVA_PROPERTIES% -Didstore.identityAttribute=<name of the GUID attribute used by the identity store>
When you integrate with EPM System Release 11.1.2.2 or later, add the Java system property as follows:
set JAVA_PROPERTIES=%JAVA_PROPERTIES% %EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES% set JAVA_PROPERTIES=%JAVA_PROPERTIES% -Doracle.epm.css.identity.type=fusion
Restart the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Server and Managed Servers.
After restarting the Managed Servers, confirm that the Java system property has been applied by reviewing the standard out file (typically bi_server1.out or the console) and looking for the Java system property that you have added.
When these steps are complete, you can select SSO in the data source connection pool in the Oracle BI Repository to designate an SSO connection. In the case of Workspace integration, you can continue to configure Oracle Business Intelligence for SSO using the Hyperion SSO token.
Before enabling to generate or accept a token, see Section 11.6.1, "Prerequisites for Configuring to Use Tokens."
To configure Oracle Business Intelligence for shared token generation when connecting to Essbase and Hyperion Financial Management, you first run an epmsys_registry command. Then you select SSO in the data source connection pool in the repository for Oracle Business Intelligence.
To configure SSO for Essbase and Hyperion Financial Management Release 11.1.2.0 or earlier:
Run the following command from the Oracle Business Intelligence environment:
BI_ORACLE_INSTANCE/config/foundation/11.1.2.0/epmsys_registry.sh/cmd updateproperty SHARED_SERVICES_PRODUCT/@COMPATIBILITY 11120-
Select SSO in the data source connection pool in the Oracle BI Repository to designate an SSO connection.
Select the Virtual Private Database option in the corresponding database object to protect cache entries.
For more information, see "Creating a Database Object Manually in the Physical Layer" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Metadata Repository Builder's Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition.
If the BI Domain has the "virtualize" property set to "true," then perform the following steps to set a system property that enables the CSS to use the appropriate attribute for GUIDs:
In the MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/bin directory, edit the setDomainEnv.sh file on UNIX or .cmd on Windows using the syntax appropriate for your operating system and shell.
Add a Java system property after the EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES line, as shown in the following example for the Windows platform:
When you integrate with EPM System Release 11.1.2.1 or earlier, add the Java system property as follows:
set JAVA_PROPERTIES=%JAVA_PROPERTIES% %EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES%
set JAVA_PROPERTIES=%JAVA_PROPERTIES% -Didstore.identityAttribute=<name of the GUID attribute used by the identity store>
Restart the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Server and Managed Servers.
After restarting the Managed Servers, confirm that the Java system property has been applied by reviewing the standard out file (typically bi_server1.out or the console) and looking for the Java system property that you have added.
