Configuring BI Publisher in the P6 Administrator application

Previous TopicNext TopicContents

To set your BI Publisher settings for BI Publisher to work with P6:

  1. Open the P6 Administrator application.
  2. In the Configurations tab, expand your configuration.
  3. Expand Database/Instance[n]/BI Publisher.
  4. In the Server URL field, enter the URL used to connect to the BI Publisher web service to P6.

    For example, http://serverIP:port/xmlpserver/services/PublicReportService?WSDL

  5. In the Version field, enter the version of BI Publisher (11.1.1.7.x) that you want to integrate with P6.
  6. In the Folder Paths field, enter the relative path to the BI Publisher P6 reports folder where P6 will search for reports.

    Example format (the forward slash is required):

    /P6REPORTS

    Notes:

  7. In the Admin Username field, enter a BI Publisher web services user name with administrative privileges (for example, PxRptUser).
  8. In the Password field, enter the password for the administrative user name.
  9. In the Personal Folders field, select the option (true) to enable personal folders per user. If you do not want to use personal folders, leave the option clear. Users have their own personal folders where they can store their objects. Only the user who created and saved the content in the folder can access the folder.
  10. In the Scrub Username field, select the option (true) to enable the setting or leave it clear (false) to ensure it's disabled.

    This setting controls whether special characters (non-alphanumeric) are removed from the user name when connecting to BI Publisher. The default is 'false,' meaning special characters will not be removed.

    If you are using the P6 EPPM Extended Schema for BI Publisher reporting, leave the setting as false.

    If you are using the P6 ODS Schema for BI Publisher reporting, change the setting to true. Setting the value to true will allow the user’s security context (user name) to format properly before it goes to BI Publisher. This allows reporting queries to perform against the ODS tables.

  11. In the Cache Timeout field, enter how long cached report definitions should appear.

    The default is 1d.
