OBIEE reports to Webcenter Content (UCM)
To
show how an end-user can run an OBIEE 11g analysis and check it in
automatically into Webcenter Content (UCM), this solution doesn't involve BPEL
processes. In case you’re not familiar, Webcenter content (WCC) is an
enterprise grade content management solution from Oracle. It is also extensible
by using the many Java APIs that are available out of the box.
With
the introduction of the action framework in OBIEE 11g there are endless
possibilities to integrate OBIEE with other applications. For this POC we
leveraged the action framework to call a WCC API called CHECKIN_UNIVERSAL via
the RDIC (Remote IntraDoc Client) a light weight communication protocol for the
Content server. I took the opportunity of the long Memorial Day week end to put
something together.
A
report can be checked into the content management solution either directy by
calling the action or at the completion of an iBot/agent. Following are few
screenshots to illustrate the functionality. When I get a chance I will
document the step by step approach for the implementation.
- log into OBIEE and select the action "UCM"
- Enter the parameters: Title, Document Type, The report to be checked into UCM
Here
are the parameters for the action
Once
the success message is displayed, the report is available in WCC. Log into
WCC and do a search
and
voila, our report is checked in!
The action can also be invoked from an agent
which is pretty cool
