Accessing EPM Workspace Server Settings

To access Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management Workspace Server settings, select Navigate, then Administer, then Workspace Settings, and then Server Settings.

Note:

If you make changes to the EPM Workspace Server Settings, you must log out and restart the browser for the changes to take effect.

Table 3-1 General EPM Workspace Server Settings

Setting Description
Supported Locales

Locales supported by EPM Workspace

Select Click here to edit to open the Values List. You can move the supported locales between Possible Values and Assigned Values for your specific EPM Workspace configuration.

Default Locale Default locale for the application if no user requested locales can be loaded. Default value is English.
Client Debug Enabled

Whether to suppress browser-side EPM Workspace debug features. Default value is No.

Session Timeout Interval time in minutes before idle users are forcibly logged out of EPM Workspace from the client side. Default value is 30. Maximum value is 1440.
Keep-Alive Interval

Interval time in minutes between EPM Workspace pings to each open context in order to keep HTTP sessions alive. This is on the server side. Default value is 10.

Required Logon Role Role required to log on to EPM Workspace. Default value is None.
Enable Native User Password Change Whether to allow native users to change their passwords. Default value is Yes.
Accept Credentials in an HTTP Request URL Default value is No. When set to No, the request parameters sso_token, sso_username, and sso_password are ignored in any HTTP request URL. They are accepted only when sent in an HTTP POST request body.

Example of a URL that stops working:

http://host:port/workspace/?sso_username=admin&sso_password=mypassword

Allow Direct Logon After SSO Failure Default value is No. Select Yes to allow a user to logon directly if Single Sign-On (SSO) is enabled and SSO authentication fails.
Restrict Session to Remote Address at Logon Default is No. Select Yes to restrict the session to the remote address (IP) presented at logon. All future requests will have to match this. Depending on the network configuration, this may produce false positives (moving between WAPs and other proxy related changes).
Enable User Display Name

Default value is No. If set to Yes, the user's full display name is displayed in the welcome message area in the upper-right corner of EPM Workspace. The display name usually consists of First and Last Name. For example, when the value is set to Yes, Logged in as John Smith is displayed instead of Logged in as JSMITH.

Remember User Name at Logon When set to Yes, the user's name is remembered as a cookie after a successful logon (otherwise, an existing cookie is deleted). The default value is No.

Table 3-2 EPM Workspace Messaging

Setting Description
Message File Select Click here to edit to open a dialog box where you can enter text for the message you want to send out to users. Messages are sent to all users who are currently logged in or users logging in to EPM Workspace for the first time.
Client Message Polling Interval Time interval for checking new messages. Value entered is in minutes. A value of zero disables messaging system and newly logged on users do not receive messages. Default is 0.
Server Message Cache How often the web application checks for changes in message status. Use this parameter if you update messages from the command line. Note that if messages are changed from the dialog box, the changes take effect immediately. The value entered represents minutes. Default value is 10 minutes.
Iframe Sandbox Options

Applies extra restrictions to the content in Iframes when they are used to display uploaded HTML content and when a URL is manually launched. This helps to protect against XSS.

Select Click here to edit to access the available values. See "sandbox" in <iframe>: The Inline Frame element for a description of the values.

Note: The values list does not include the "allow-same-origin" value because this would defeat the XSS protection.

URI to User Productivity Kit

Note: UPK is available in EPM Workspace only for products that support it; for example, Oracle Hyperion Planning and Oracle Hyperion Financial Management.

The Oracle User Productivity Kit (URI) includes a library designed to support users in live environments. When integrated with help systems, UPK delivers context-sensitive training simulations that reflect the way users complete tasks.

To implement UPK:

  1. Enter the following URI in the URI to User Productivity Kit field:

    http://<anydomain/full_content_path_to_upk_content/>

    This is the location where the UPK is located.

    For the products accessed in EPM Workspace, {gateway-page} in the URL http://any_domain/full_content_path_to_UPK_content/{gateway_page} is where Oracle content is located. Do not enter {gateway-page} in the URI to User Productivity Kit field. EPM Workspace automatically appends the correct value {gateway-page} in the URL http://any_domain/full_content_path_to_UPK_content/{gateway_page}.

    An example of a URI to enter is http://localhost/upkcontent

  2. Click OK.
  3. Log out of EPM Workspace.
  4. Log back in to EPM Workspace, and UPK is now enabled.

Note: From the Help menu, the Oracle User Productivity Kit is listed. For online help, in the toolbar, there is a UPK button as well.

Post Logoff URL URL to which the UI is redirected after users log off
Enable Installer Menu Items in Workspace Whether to enable installer menu items in EPM Workspace. These items are located in the Tools menu. The default value is Yes.
Enabled Products Disable products which are installed but not running. Select Click here to edit to open a dialog box with products that can be deselected. If the checks are cleared, the products are de-integrated at the next logon, as if they were never installed.
