Implementing Procurement and Spend Security for Procurement Users
The procurement and spend subject areas support security by agent security for procurement users. The list of values a user has access to is determined by the grants in the source application system.
To enable initialization blocks, follow the steps below:
- In Oracle BI Administration Tool, edit the BI metadata repository (for example,
OracleBIAnalyticsApps.rpd
). - Choose Manage, then Variables.
- Under Session – Initialization Blocks, open the initialization block that you need to enable based on your source system..
- Clear the Disabled check box.
- Save the metadata repository (RPD file).
The table below shows which Initialization Blocks need to be enabled for each Source System.
