Top FAQs to Configure and Manage Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence

The top FAQs for configuring and managing Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence are identified in this topic.

Can I see how many users are currently signed in?

Yes. In the Home page, click Administration under My Profile, and then click Manage Sessions. See Monitor Users Who Are Signed In.

Can I change the default logo and dashboard style for the whole deployment?

Yes. In the Home page, click My Profile, click Administration, and then click Manage Themes. Create a new theme including dashboard properties such as logo, branding, page colors, and link colors, and click Active. This new style is applied for all new browser sessions.

Can I use the BISystem application role?

No. The BISystem application role is for internal use only, and you shouldn't associate it with any custom application roles. If your users need administrative permissions such as these, use the BIAdministrator, not the BISystem application role:

  • Grant permission to use Job Manager to manage scheduled Delivers jobs.
  • Grant permission to open, view, and edit repository files using the Administration tool or the Oracle BI Metadata web service.

Is there a limit for catalog object permission setting?

The Access Control List (ACL) of the catalog object defines who can access the catalog object. The maximum number of entries for the ACL of a catalog object is 64. If you attempt to update the catalog object ACL with more than 64 entries, you might see an error message such as the following:

Exceeded number of allowed ACL entries:Path:/shared/custom/Exchange Rate:
    New ACL size='xxxx',Allowed size is '64'

Don't add user IDs directly to the catalog object ACL. Instead, group users under an application role, then add the application role to the catalog object ACL.
