On the BI Publisher screen:
- Select the Connect to BI Publisher option.
Note: If you would rather configure BI Publisher manually or do not have BI Publisher installed, verify the Connect to BI Publisher option is clear and click Next. See the P6 EPPM BI Publisher Configuration Guide for more information.
- In the Server URL field, enter the URL used to connect to the BI Publisher web service to P6.
For example,
http://serverIP:port/xmlpserver/services/PublicReportService?wsdl - In the Version field, enter the version of BI Publisher that you want to integrate with P6.
- In the Folder Paths field, enter the relative path to the BI Publisher P6 reports folder where P6 will search for reports.
Example format (the forward slash is required):
/P6REPORTS
- Note: You can find the relative path (for example, /P6Reports) in the following folder:
%weblogic_home%\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain\config\bipublisher\repository\Reports
- Note: You can find the relative path (for example, /P6Reports) in the following folder:
- In the Admin Username field, enter a BI Publisher web services user name with administrative privileges (for example, PxRptUser).
- In the Password field, enter the password for the administrative user name.
- 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 BI Publisher. The default is 'false,' meaning special characters will not be removed.
If you are using the P6 EPPM Extended Schema for BI Publisher reporting, leave the setting as false.
If you are using the P6 ODS Schema for BI Publisher 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 BI Publisher. This allows reporting queries to perform against the ODS tables.
- In the Cache Timeout field, enter how long cached report definitions should appear.
The default is 1d.
- Click Next.
