Verifying Symbolic URL Arguments That Embed the Oracle BI Publisher Scheduling Views in the Siebel Application


The Scheduled Reports view in the Siebel application is for managing scheduled reports. This view is an embedded Web page from the Oracle BI Publisher Enterprise application. To configure this view, you implement a symbolic URL to display external contents in the Siebel user interface by specifying how to construct the external application and define arguments and values that are passed to the Siebel client. For more information about working with symbolic URLs, see Siebel Portal Framework Guide.

This task is a step in Process of Enabling and Configuring Report Scheduling.

To verify symbolic URL arguments that embed the Oracle BI Publisher Scheduling Views in the Siebel application

  1. Navigate to the Administration - Integration screen, WI Symbolic URL List, and then the Host Administration view.
  2. Query for biphost virtual name, and then edit for your deployment.
  3. Navigate to the Symbolic URL Administration view.
  4. Query for BIBReportJobListPage, and then set the following values:
    • URL is http://biphost/xmlpserver/servlet/viewHistory
    • Name is host:port
    • Host Name is host:port
    • Fixup Name is Default
    • SSO Disposition is IFrame

      where host:port is the Oracle BI Publisher host address you choose from a picklist and the URL value is added as part of the seed data.
