Adding a New User for P6 Analytics

Previous TopicNext TopicContents

For a user to access data in Star through OBI, you must set up security in both P6 EPPM and OBI.

To add a new user:

  1. In P6, do the following:
    1. Add a new user and give the user module access to the P6 Analytics module. Grant the user the necessary Operational Breakdown Structure (OBS), cost, module, and resource access.

      Note: Since the username must match in P6 and Weblogic, this username must adhere to the requirements in Weblogic and OBI to work. For example, P6 may allow characters for the username that WebLogic or OBI do not allow. You must ensure the username will work in all applications.

    2. Click the Administer menu and select Global Scheduled Services.
    3. Run the Publish Security service.

      Note: You can schedule this service to run immediately or later, but it must finish running before you run the staretl file.

    4. Run staretl.bat (or staretl.sh on a non-Windows system).

      Notes:

      • If you are going to use LDAP, you are done with this section and can move to the next section.
      • If OBI and P6 EPPM are both configured to use LDAP authentication, users do not need to be created manually. Only the LDAP server needs to be added to OraclePrimaveraAnalytics.rpd by accessing Manage, Security. See the OBI documentation information about configuring LDAP for OBI.
  2. If you are not going to use LDAP, do the following in OBI:
    1. Log into the WebLogic console on the OBI domain with your WebLogic administrator username and password.
    2. Under Domain Structure pane, click Security Realms.
    3. In the Summary of Security Realms page, click myrealm.
    4. In the Settings for myrealm page, click the Users and Groups tab.
    5. In the Users tab, click New to add the new user.
    6. In the Create a New User page:
      1. Enter the Name and Password for the new user.

        Note: The user needs to match the user in P6. You can verify the correct usernames in P6 by running the following command against the P6 EPPM schema with the P6 privileged user account: select user_name from USERS;

      2. Click OK.
    7. In the Setting for myrealm page, click the user's name.
    8. In the Settings for <user name> page:
      1. Click the Groups tab.
      2. In the Parent Groups Available column, select group(s) and move them to the Chosen column.

        Note: You can find the default OBI Application Roles here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/bi.1111/e10543/install.htm#CIHJBBGH

      3. Click Save.
    9. Repeat these steps if you need more users.
