Accessing BI Publisher

Oracle Analytics Publisher can be made available in a few ways.

Complete Suite of Oracle Analytics Server (OAS)

When you install the complete suite of Oracle Analytics Server or OAS, Oracle Analytics Publisher is available as one of the components. In this case, Oracle Analytics Publisher can be accessed by using the following URL.

http(s)://<host>:<port>/xmlpserver

In this case the catalog used by OAS is used as the Oracle Analytics Publisher repository. All of the administration activities (i.e. changing roles and permission, creating data sources, configuring printers, etc.) are performed using the ‘Manage Publisher’ link in the administration section of OAS.

Oracle Analytics Publisher Component

You can install just the Oracle Analytics Publisher component. In this case Oracle Analytics Publisher can be accessed using the following URL. This same URL can be used even in case of complete OAS install too.

http(s)://<host>:<port>/xmlpserver

Use the analytics URL to perform the administration tasks, data modeling, and layout editing rather than using the xmlpserver URL in case of complete OAS installation.
