6. Restart your application server. 7. Test your BI Publisher Server configuration by launching BI Publisher. Navigate to http:hostname:portxmlpserver to open the browser. For example, http:localhost:9704xmlpserver.

15.2 Define Security Model

By default, BI Publisher uses its own security model. You can create users and groups within the BI Publishers security model, which is stored in the BI Publisher repository. For more information about the other security models, see the Oracle BI Publisher Administrator’s Guide at http:download.oracle.comdocscdE12844_ 01docbip.1013e12188toc.htm.

15.2.1 Users

There is a default Oracle Enterprise Repository user, OER, provided in the OER-BIP repository. This is a proxy user for Oracle Enterprise Repository application and is used to access to all the Oracle Enterprise Repository reports. The default password is OER_PWD. This user has OER_REPORTS role to access to all the Oracle Enterprise Repository reports. There is a default BI Publisher administrator, Administrator, provided in the OER-BIP repository. This is used to administer BI Publisher and is required to setup the Data Sources in BI Publisher. The default password is Administrator.

15.2.2 Roles and Permissions

There is one pre-configured Role called OER_REPORTS provided in the OER-BIP repository. This role allows users to access all the Oracle Enterprise Repository reports. The Oracle Enterprise Repository proxy user has this role, by default. If you want to allow other users to access the OER Oracle Enterprise Repository reports, then you need to add the OER_REPORTS role to the users.

15.3 Configuring the Oracle Enterprise Repository JDBC Data Source

There are three default Oracle Enterprise Repository JDBC data sources, each of which is for each database type, provided in the BI Publisher as sample. You need to pick one of the following based on your database type and update this JDBC data source to suit to your database environment: ■ OER - Oracle ■ OER_S - SQL Server ■ OER_U - UDB To update the JDBC information, perform the following steps: 1. Log into BI Publisher as an administrator. Note: In BI Publisher, the password is case sensitive. 15-4 Oracle Fusion Middleware Configuration Guide for Oracle Enterprise Repository

2. Click the Admin tab.

3. In the Data Sources section, select the JDBC Connection link.

4. Select one of the data sources from OER, OER_S, OER_U. In the Update Data Source screen, change the connection string to point to the database for Oracle Enterprise Repository. Use the same ConnectString as what appears in the Oracle Enterprise Repository database.properties file. Use the same database authentication as Oracle Enterprise Repository.

5. Click the Test Connection button to confirm that BI Publisher can access the

database.

6. Click Apply to save the changes.

This section describes the database configuration for the following databases: ■ Oracle ■ SQL Server ■ UDB Oracle You can select either of the following Driver types for Oracle Database depending on your Oracle database version. The JDBC library file JAR is installed as part of the BI Publisher Server installation therefore no extra Jar file is required. ■ Oracle 11g ■ Oracle 10g ■ Oracle 9i Example for Oracle JDBC Connection: SQL Server You can select either of the following Driver types for SQL Server Database depending on your SQL Server database version.
