# 2 Installing Oracle Argus Analytics

Note: This installation assumes that assumes the typical hardware configuration with an Oracle database server, an Informatica PowerCenter server, and a Windows 2008 SP1 32 bit server with OBIEE Server & Admin Tool, DAC Server & Client, Informatica PowerCenter Client, and an Oracle Database Client. All installation and configuration actions must be performed as an administrator or root user.

This section describes the detailed Oracle Argus Analytics installation process. It also describes the pre and post Oracle Argus Analytics installation tasks that you must complete for different environments. This section includes the following topics:

- Preinstallation Configuration

- Running the Oracle Argus Analytics Installer

- Preparing the DAC Repository

- Configuring the OBIEE Repository and Webcatalog

- Configuring the OBIEE Help files

- Configuring SSO Using Oracle Access Manager

- Creating Users and Groups in Oracle Argus Analytics

- Configuring SSL for Oracle Argus Analytics in OBIEE

- OBIEE Default Application Roles

## Preinstallation Configuration

Prior to running the Oracle Argus Analytics Installer, the following tasks must be completed:

1. The TNS entries for both the Data Mart Schema and the Argus Safety Database Schema should be present in the Informatica Server as well so that the ETLs can pick data from the Argus Safety Database and populate the same in the PVA Warehouse.

2. The TNS entries for both the Data Mart Schema and the Argus Safety Database Schema should be present in the OBIEE 11g home in the path:

   <OracleBI Home>\Oracle_BI1\network\admin\tnsnames.ora

3. Configuring the Informatica client:

   The Informatica client should be configured to connect to the Informatica server. There should be an entry for the Informatica Domain in the domains.infa file. One can create the entry in the domains.infa file by configuring the Informatica Domain used for Argus Analytics in the Informatica Powercenter Repository Manager by navigating through the Repository > Configure Domains menu.

4. Setting up the Informatica environmental parameters.

   - INFA_DOMAINS_FILE: Full filename with the path to the domains file present in the Informatica Client Home.

   - Path: Add the first entry in the path as the path to the PowerCenter Client Bin and then for the commandlineUtilities bin folder as shown in the following example: D:\Informatica\9.0.1\clients\PowerCenterClient\client\bin;;D:\Informatica\9.0.1\clients\PowerCenterClient\CommandLineUtilities\PC\server\bin;…

5. Configuring the oracle client:

   The TNS names entry for both data mart and the Argus Safety Source system should be configured here.

6. Setting up the DAC client:

   The DAC client should be configured to connect to the DAC server.

7. Setting up the Oracle client home in the PATH variable.

8. Setting up the SYSTEM user:

   The SYSTEM user to be given grants to create view over the V_$SESSION view in order to run the installer.

   Connect as “sys” on both the Argus Safety DB instance and the Data Mart DB instance and execute this script:

   grant select on v_$session to system with grant option;

   Note: This grant can be revoked at a later time from the user system, once the installation is complete.

9. Setting up the tablespaces:

   The installer creates new schemas in the data mart and prompts for the tablespaces to be used. It is recommended to create one default tablespace and a temporary tablespace to be used for the new schemas.

## Running the Oracle Argus Analytics Installer

The basic Oracle Argus Analytics components are installed using the Oracle Universal Installer. The installer gathers all the information about the database connectivity, data mart, Informatica repository by presenting a sequence of prompt screens and then installs the components accordingly. This installer needs to be executed in the Oracle Argus Analytics server where Oracle client and Informatica client are installed.

Note: Make sure that PERL is present in the system path before running the installer.

Launch the Universal Installer

1. Extract the contents of the media pack into a temporary directory (For example, C:\argus_analytics_temp).

2. Navigate to the \install directory under the extracted temporary folder.

3. Double-click the setup.exe file to launch the Oracle Universal Installer with the Welcome screen.

Complete Running the Oracle Argus Analytics Installer

The installer will take you through a series of prompts. Attend to the Installer's prompts. The following sections describe each Installer screen, and the required action.

Oracle Argus Analytics Home Path

The Oracle Argus Analytics Home path is the location where all the staged files from the Installer will get copied to the local machine. This is also the location from where Installer would execute the database and Informatica scripts.

Home Name: ANHome1

Path: C:\argus_analytics

## Creating Users and Groups in Oracle Argus Analytics

### Creating Groups for Oracle Argus Analytics in WebLogic Server

Note: The following steps are applicable for creating users and groups if the embedded LDAP is used for maintaining the authentication for Oracle Argus Analytics. If not using the embedded LDAP then these groups should be created in the external LDAP provider.

1. Open a new browser window for the WebLogic Administration Console.

2. Navigate to Security Realms -> myrealm -> Users and Groups tab.

   Figure 2-28 myrealm Settings: Users and Groups tab

3. Select the Groups Tab and click on New.

4. Enter the group name as 'PVAAdmin' and click OK.

   Figure 2-29 myrealm Settings: Groups tab: New Group

5. Follow the above process to create the groups 'PVASafetyGroup' and 'PVASafetyConsumersGroup'.

### Assigning OBIEE Application Roles for Oracle Argus Analytics Groups

Note: The below steps are applicable for the groups created in either the embedded LDAP or an external LDAP e.g. OID.

1. Start a new browser window for the Enterprise Manager for Fusion Middleware Control and navigate to the Business Intelligence -> coreapplication overview page as shown here:

   Figure 2-30 coreapplication Screen

2. Invoke the Application Roles by choosing from the menu drop down at Business Intelligence Instance -> Security -> Application Roles

   Figure 2-31 coreapplication: Application Roles Screen

3. Click on BIAdministrator application role and add the group PVAAdmin.

   Figure 2-32 coreapplication: Add Group

4. Click OK.

5. Repeat the above steps to add the groups created as per the table given here:

   Application Role | PVA Groups to be added
   --- | ---
   BIAdministrator | PVAAdmin
   BIAuthor | PVAAdmin, PVASafetyGroup
   BIConsumer | PVAAdmin, PVASafetyGroup, PVASafetyConsumersGroup

   Note: Refer to Appendix 2, "OBIEE Default Application Roles" for a list of privileges present as per the BIApplication Role specified above.

### Creating Users for Oracle Argus Analytics in WebLogic Server

Note: The below steps are applicable for creating users and groups if the embedded LDAP is used for maintaining the authentication for Oracle Argus Analytics. It is recommended to create at least one user to be added in the PVAAdmin group created above, to be used as a PVA Application administrator.

IMPORTANT: The users created for Argus Analytics should have the same login name as the Argus Safety application users created in Argus Safety application through the: Argus Safety Web Application > Access Management > Argus > Users menuThis is a vital step and needs to be adhered to, as Argus Analytics implements Row Level Security in the Warehouse Data at the Enterprise Level, Case Processing Site Level, Study Level and Product Level as present/configured in the Argus Safety Application it is installed with. This information for each specific Argus Safety User access in the Argus Safety Application is brought over to the Argus Analytics Warehouse via the ETLs. At the time of logging into the Argus Analytics OBIEE web URL the AN application verifies if the logged user is a valid user in Argus Safety Application as well and implements the Row Level Security according to the access prevailing for the user in the Argus Safety Application. Failing this will result in errors in the Dashboards and Answers page as the session variables will not get initialized accordingly.

1. Start a new browser window for the WebLogic Administration Console.

2. Navigate to Security Realms -> myrealm -> Users and Groups tab.

3. Select the Users Tab and click on New.

4. Enter the User Name and Password details.

5. Click OK to save the User in the embedded LDAP.

6. This takes you back to the Users table display. Click on the User that you newly created to display the page as shown here:

   Figure 2-33 Administration Console: General tab

7. Click the Groups tab and select the appropriate PVA Group you want the user to be added to and save the details.

8. Repeat the above steps to add users to the three groups (as created in the previous step).

Note: For Oracle Argus Analytics on a very large database with more than a million cases, it is best to enforce the end users to store customizations for the Personal User dashboard.This enables users to select a default product and enables better response time for the queries submitted to the warehouse.

Execute the following steps to store the customizations for the Personal User dashboard:

1. Log in to the OBIEE application using the credentials of the newly created user.

2. Navigate to the dashboard. Example: Menu > Dashboards > Personal User Dashboard.

3. Go to the Personal User Case History page.

4. Select a Product Name and click Apply.

5. On the Page Options menu that is displayed on the right, click the Save Current Customization option.

6. Enter an appropriate name for this customization.

7. Check the 'Make this my default for this page' checkbox to make it your default customization option.

8. Click OK.

By following the steps listed above, the selected filter is always applied on initial load of the Dashboards page. Repeat these steps for every Dashboard page in case of longer response time.

### Creating Users for DAC

1. Log in to the DAC Client as Administrator.

2. Click on the menu File -> User Management.

   2. Password: Password to authenticate the user being created.

   3. Roles: Select one of the these roles:

      - Administrator

      - Operator

      - Developer

        The following table lists the permissions available to each specific role.
