You must configure Oracle Analytics Server settings for Oracle Analytics Server to work with P6.
To configure your Oracle Analytics Server settings:
- Open the Primavera P6 Administrator.
- In the Configurations drop-down list, select your configuration.
- In the sidebar select Database.
- Select your Instance from the drop-down list.
- Expand BI Publisher.
Note: Changes to these settings require you to restart the P6 server.
- Select Personal Folders, to enable personal folders per user. If you do not want to use personal folders, leave the option clear. Users have their own personal folders where they can store their objects. Only the user who created and saved the content in the folder can access the folder.
- Select Scrub Username, to enable the setting or leave it clear to ensure it is disabled.
This setting controls whether special characters (non-alphanumeric) are removed from the user name when connecting to Oracle Analytics Server. The default is 'false,' meaning special characters will not be removed.
If you are using the P6 EPPM Extended Schema for Oracle Analytics Server reporting, leave the setting as false.
If you are using the P6 ODS Schema for Oracle Analytics Server reporting, change the setting to true. Setting the value to true will allow the user's security context (user name) to format properly before it goes to Oracle Analytics Server. This allows reporting queries to perform against the ODS tables.
- In the Server URL field, enter the URL used to connect to the Oracle Analytics Server web service to P6.
For example,
http://serverIP:port/xmlpserver/services/PublicReportService?wsdl - In the Folder Paths field, enter the relative path to the Oracle Analytics Server P6 reports folder where P6 will search for reports.
Example format (the forward slash is required):
/P6REPORTS
- In the Version field, enter the version of Oracle Analytics Server that you want to integrate with P6.
- In the Admin Username field, enter a Oracle Analytics Server web services user name with administrative privileges (for example, PxRptUser).
- In the Password field, enter the password for the administrative user name.
- In the Sender Email ID field, enter the email address that you want users to see if they choose to receive reports by email.
