XML File Format for Searching for and Replacing Text Strings

Configuring and Managing the Oracle BI Presentation Catalog 17-33 For more information on the types of searches, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Users Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition. As the administrator, you must configure the use of the full-text catalog search. For this release, the full-text catalog search uses a crawler for Secure Enterprise Search. The full-text catalog search can index catalogs that contain translated text. Secure Enterprise Search limits each of its registered sources to a single locale. Therefore, a multilingual translated Oracle BI Presentation Catalog can be indexed only in a single language. The user interface for Secure Enterprise Search supports multiple languages.

17.11.2 Deployment of Oracle Full-Text Catalog Search

Figure 17–4 shows a deployment diagram for the full-text catalog search. This search runs as a separate service from Oracle BI Enterprise Edition and has its own port number and URL The WebLogic Server on which Secure Enterprise Search is hosted communicates with the index for SES and with the full-text catalog search. The search uses the Web Services of Oracle BI Enterprise Edition on its WebLogic Server for accessing the Oracle BI Presentation Catalog. The services on that WebLogic Server send the requests to the catalog. The full-text catalog search is deployed on the same WebLogic Server as Oracle BI EE. The instance for the full-text catalog search can be used with only one Oracle BI EE instance at a time. Multiple instances of Secure Enterprise Search can be connected to the same instance of the full-text catalog search. Figure 17–4 Deployment of the Full-Text Catalog Search 17.11.3 How is Security Handled in the Full-Text Catalog Search? The search engine enforces all the security that is defined on the Oracle BI content. Security for Oracle BI content can be defined at the object level, enforced through folder level security on the Oracle BI Server, and at the data level, enforced at run time or query time through user variables that are used to constrain the data. 17-34 System Administrators Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition In addition, the Do Not Index setting in the Properties dialog for an object affects whether the object can be indexed. See Oracle Fusion Middleware Security Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition for details on security.

17.11.4 Process for Configuring the Full-Text Catalog Search

You must configure the use of the full-text catalog search. For this release, this functionality requires Oracle Secure Enterprise Search, an application that provides crawling and indexing of the Oracle BI Presentation Catalog. The index that Secure Enterprise Search creates is used by the full-text catalog search for locating objects for which users are searching. The following list describes the steps for configuring the full-text catalog search: 1. Step 1: Assigning Privileges for Crawling and Indexing 2. Step 2: Ensuring that Secure Enterprise Search is Available 3. Step 3: Configuring Identity Management for Full-Text Catalog Search 4. Step 4: Creating the Data Source for Full-Text Catalog Search 5. Step 5: Editing the Schedule for Full-Text Catalog Search 6. Step 6: Specifying the Look and Feel of Search Results 7. Step 7: Enabling Incremental Crawls for Full-Text Catalog Search 8. Step 8: Configuring Properties for Full-Text Catalog Search Manually 9. Step 9: Allowing Users to Access the Full-Text Catalog Search

17.11.4.1 Step 1: Assigning Privileges for Crawling and Indexing

The process of crawling and indexing the Oracle BI Presentation Catalog is initiated from the search engine. However, the catalog cannot be crawled and indexed unless a user with administrator privileges gives the appropriate privileges to the BISystem role. To assign the appropriate privileges for crawling and indexing the catalog: 1. In Oracle BI Enterprise Edition, log in as an administrator.

2. Click Administration in the global header.

3. On the Administration tab, click Manage Privileges.

4. In the SOAP section, ensure that the BISystem role has the following privileges: Access ReplicationService Service Access CatalogIndexingService Service Access SecurityService Service Access CatalogService Service Access XmlGenerationService Service For information about assigning privileges, see Managing Presentation Services Privileges in Oracle Fusion Middleware Security Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition.

17.11.4.2 Step 2: Ensuring that Secure Enterprise Search is Available

The files that are required to use the full-text catalog search are copied to the appropriate directories during the installation of Oracle BI EE. Users cannot access the
