11.4.2 Manually Editing Settings for the Marketing Content Server Connection

Use various elements in the instanceconfig.xml file to change additional settings for the connection to the Marketing Content Server. Before you begin this procedure, ensure that you are familiar with the information in Section 3.4, Using a Text Editor to Update Configuration Settings. To manually edit additional settings for the Marketing Content Server connection: 1. Open the instanceconfig.xml file for editing, as described in Section 3.6, Where Are Configuration Files Located?

2. Locate the section in which you must add the elements that are described in the

following list: ■ SocketTimeoutSec: Specifies the number of seconds that the socket waits for the Content Server to respond while transferring records. The default value is 60. There is no minimum or maximum value. ■ FileSizeMB: Specifies the size in megabytes of files that are generated during ListGeneration and inserted into the Content Server. The default is 10. The minimum size is 1MB and the maximum size is 50MB.

3. Include the elements and their ancestor elements as appropriate, as shown in the

following example: ServerInstance MarketingContentServer URLmyhost.com:6666st1b2repidcplgURL SocketTimeoutSec120SocketTimeoutSec FileSizeMB5FileSizeMB MarketingContentServer ServerInstance You do not specify values for user name and password in the instanceconfig.xml file. Instead you specify values in Fusion Middleware Control that are stored securely within the central credentials wallet, along with all other user names and passwords. Also, do not change the URL element. This value is centrally managed by Fusion Middleware Control. 4. Save your changes and close the file. 5. Restart Oracle Business Intelligence.

The Oracle BI EE Home page provides a link to download and install Oracle Hyperion Smart View for Office. Complete the following steps in the specified order to configure for users to download Smart View, which was installed as part of EPM System 11.

Ensure that the appropriate users have the Access to Oracle BI for Microsoft Office privilege specified on the Privilege Administration page. This privilege controls access to downloads for both Oracle Business Intelligence Add-in for Microsoft Office and Smart View.

Restart Oracle BI Presentation Services to see the download option for Smart View. Note: There is no separate administration tool for configuring data sources for use with Smart View. Administrators can install Smart View using the standalone installer, if they want to set up connections before enabling the Smart View download for users. The assumption is that the Oracle BI EE installation has been completed and the services run along with the Provider Services.
