Hello , This is intended behavior , when Bi publisher is installed as part of OBIEE ,security and configuration will be managed from obiee analytics and permission button in bip is greyed out,and bip objects include reports , data models all are stored in obiee presentation catalog and you can access these bip report from analytcis page, so you can manage every bip object from analytics page. Thanks

Hello Venkat,

Please find my latest reply as below.

When I again installed with above mention Components....we do get option for PERMISSION and it does open fine as below but only for server:port/analytics not for server:port/xmlpserver

And another issue I am facing is 'Missing Component Folder'.

For that I have followed E1: OVR: Issue while Installing EnterpriseOne Boilerplates for BI Publisher (Doc ID 1448805.1)

But at step where we need to click on Upload to BI Presentation Catalog

This is not available in Oracle BI Publisher 12.2.1.1.0

Any help in this regards would be appreciated.

Thanks,

AP
