Configure Publisher to Use E-Business Suite Security

You configure Publisher for E-Business Suite Security on the Administration page.

  1. In the Oracle E-Business Suite, log in as a System Administrator and create the following responsibilities to correspond to the Publisher functional roles:
    • XMLP_ADMIN — Serves as the administrator role for the Publisher server.

    • XMLP_DEVELOPER  — Allows users to build reports in the system.

    • XMLP_SCHEDULER — Allows users to schedule reports.

    • XMLP_TEMPLATE_DESIGNER — Allows users to connect to the Publisher server from the Template Builder and to upload and download templates. Allows users to design layouts using the Publisher Layout Editor.

  2. Add these new Publisher responsibilities to the appropriate users.

    Note:

    Ensure that you assign at least one user to the XMLP_ADMIN group.

  3. Log in to Publisher. On the Administration page, select Security Configuration.
  4. In the Authorization region of the page, select Oracle E-Business Suite from the Security Model list.
  5. Load the DBC file from the E-Business Suite instance. This is typically located under the $FND_SECURE directory. If you do not have access to this file, then contact your E-Business Suite system administrator. This file specifies how Publisher should access the E-Business Suite instance.
  6. Click Apply. Restart Publisher for the security changes to take effect.

When you restart the system, the E-Business Suite responsibilities to which Publisher roles have been assigned are visible as roles in the Publisher security center.
