Hi
I am seeing same behavior as Andrew after following these steps.when I try and look at a report, the report itself doesn’t show. The searching icon has a broken JPEG icon, and it never seems to find the report. But the PDF, Excel, download, etc. options do appear, just not the data. Any thoughts?

Acutally you have to add the account of the portal to biee without a SSO env.
Null password will also call some problem.

Hello,

I’ve done the steps and when I try and look at a report, the report itself doesn’t show. The searching icon has a broken JPEG icon, and it never seems to find the report. Oddly enough, the PDF, Excel, download, etc. options do appear, just not the data. Any thoughts?

Thanks

Mark,
Thanks for the reply. Do you mind posting your portlet.xml (with dummy data if protected information is provided)? I think I’m setting up everything correctly, but wouldn’t mind cross-checking it against yours. When you added items to the portlet.xml, what do you mean ‘properly’? I’m just providing the details as I know them. Is there anything special required?

Thanks.

Dave, Rajiv

I haven’t encountered the issues you’ve mentioned in your comments, but the two areas where I had the most trouble were in editing the portlet.xml file – I didn’t add the username, password and URL elements properly, my end element tags were like this rather than this – , and getting the provider to register properly. It was a very fiddly task in the end, my best advice would be to run through the Oracle docs properly and re-check everything, it does work in the end but it’s a bit tricky to set up.

I followed your instructions, but no luck. I am stuck at step 4. I modify portel.xml from sawjsr168portlets.war and then deploy to WSRP. But after that when I call it like http://test-cm.mycompany.com/OBIEE/sawbridge I am getting this error – java.lang.IllegalArgumentException followed by bunch of lines.

Not sure what’s going on… can you please help. Do you have any other document(step by step)
