Assumptions and Constraints

• Single Sign-On Account (SSO)—To have the capability to switch client context and to open Oracle Argus Insight from the Application Access Portlet, you must have a SSO account enabled.

  When Oracle Argus Insight is configured for SSO, Cognos still uses the PowerReports namespace.

• Accessing Oracle Argus Insight directly by using URL—It is expected that customers will pass the internal enterprise ID as a URL parameter for the Oracle Argus Insight application to open with the appropriate enterprise context. If the enterprise ID is not passed, the system validates the user against the default enterprise.
• Global User Management—To apply updates to the Synchronizable fields for all the enterprises in the system, you must maintain some administrative users in Oracle Argus Insight. Use the User and Group Administration options in the Security tab on the ADMINISTRATION TOOLS page to modify user accounts and enable access for all enterprises in the system.
• User-Enterprise Association—To copy a user account from one enterprise to another, you must have already set up the appropriate user groups in the target enterprise. Otherwise, the user association will fail with an appropriate error message.

• New User Creation/Association—Argus Insight lets you use the same user ID to create different users across multiple enterprises. However, use this feature only if you do not expect to share the users across enterprises.

  If you expect to share users across multiple enterprises, do not use the same user ID to create different users across different enterprises. Instead, create the user in one enterprise, and then use Global User Management to associate the user to other enterprises.

• New Enterprise Setup—It is expected that you will create and choose appropriate enterprises with generic configuration data that can be used as a source for copying the configuration data to create new enterprises.

  Power Queries used within any configuration item is recommended to ensure that the values being copied from the source enterprise are appropriate for the newly created enterprise.

  MedDRA, WHO dictionaries, and Default enterprise are common for all enterprises.

• Post-Database Upgrade Considerations—There are no post-database upgrade considerations for existing users.
