Hi Gurus,

We have a user who created some reports and had some agents set up to deliver them to him. Now he is leaving the company.

Question is will these reports still keep running based on the time interval set in the agents even after he leaves the company ?

Thanks in advance.

  • It depends ...

    The person leaving the company has no impact on your OBIEE if nothing is done.

    If the user's account is dropped and the agents are running as that user, they will not run anymore. And if they are delivered to him, not sure that still make sense...

    Sounds like a good occasion to clean up things and adopt some good standards: agents that aren't strictly personal should be owned and executed as some "system" accounts (something that will never leave the company).

    Are user accounts dropped if you're using Microsoft Active Directory for Identity Management?

    The system does an implicit login as that user so it doesn't matter where the user account originates from. If it can't authenticate and authorize properly it won't execute anything.
