22 Post Installation Guide for Primavera Contract Management ) Choose whether to create a completely new user or to base the user on an existing one (which requires less data entry). Note: User names are not case sensitive. New user names cannot have the same spelling as any other user name regardless of how the names are capitalized. 6) Click OK to open the User Account window. 7) Fill in the information for the user account. See the online help for information about each field. Caution: Contract Management supports login names that do not contain special characters (for $ % & * () ^ # +) and that are less than or equal to 255 characters in length. When importing users from LDAP, the LDAP user login name must follow these requirements. See Importing Users from LDAP (on page 27). Viewing Reports and Forms in Contract Management Using BI Publisher For Contract Management 14.0, Business Intelligence Publisher Edition and later, you can view reports, forms, and letter templates in Contract Management, but they are created and stored in Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher. To view reports, forms, and letter templates in Contract Management, you will need to perform the following tasks: Upload Sample Folders from the Contract Management Media Pack to the BI Publisher Server (on page 23) Configure BI Publisher Settings in the Contract Management Administration Config Utility (on page 24) Import Reports and Forms into Contract Management (on page 25) Notes: It is assumed that you know how to use Oracle BI Publisher. For complete information on using this software, see the Oracle BI Publisher documentation. BI Publisher saves letters in Rich Text Format (RTF). Letters are no longer saved in native Microsoft Word format. Before you can view reports and forms in Contract Management, ensure the following prerequisites are met: Oracle BI Publisher is installed and running. Note: To avoid errors, start the BI Publisher WebLogic server before the Contract Management WebLogic server. Contract Management is installed and running. BI Publisher should be configured after installing Contract Management. Consult the Oracle BI Publisher documentation for complete information on installing and configuring this software. 22

23 Setting Up the Contract Management Environment To integrate with Contract Management, the Simple Install type is satisfactory. The only required Business Intelligence installation component is BI Publisher. When running the Repository Creation utility, you only need to select the Business Intelligence Platform component in the Oracle Business Intelligence section. If you select the Oracle Business Intelligence component automatically selects any other dependent components. Upload Sample Folders from the Contract Management Media Pack to the BI Publisher Server Note: The BI Publisher sample reports were designed to be run against the small data set included in the Contract Management sample database. These reports are provided as an example of the product s capability only. Oracle provides no guarantee, implied or explicit, that the BI Publisher sample reports will run against your database or will produce meaningful data when they are run against your database. You may modify the BI Publisher sample reports to suit your own data set, including adding filter criteria to limit data output or changing filter criteria to suit your data if you have a full BI license. The Contract Management 14.1, Business Intelligence Publisher Edition media pack contains zip files of sample reports and forms, a sample letter template, and a sample data model. The media pack also contains sample US English and UK English files. The samples are in the media pack in Contract Management v14.1\common\contract_management_14_tools\reports and Forms. Unzip these files directly on the BI Publisher server, into a folder within Shared Folder. Be sure to maintain the folder hierarchy which is there by default in the media pack. If you change the hierarchy, map each report and form to its appropriate data model or you will not be able to view reports and forms in BI Publisher or Contract Management. Caution: Do not move the data model. The data model contains all the variables that can be populated by Contract Management. You can import this data model and use it as a model for any templates you create in BI Publisher. You can add custom fields to the letters module just as you can to any module in Contract Management. If you add custom fields, you must update your data models by hand in BI Publisher to add the new fields. The field names are not case sensitive. Declare the names as Text or String (not Date or another special type) the data is automatically formatted by Contract Management prior to being sent to BI Publisher, so this type of conversion is neither necessary nor typically successful. 23

24 Post Installation Guide for Primavera Contract Management ) On the BI Publisher server, create a folder within Shared Folder that has the same name as the zip file you plan to extract. Note: Default Shared Folder: <BI Publisher WebLogic Domain Home>\config\bipublisher\repository\Reports For example: <Shared Folder>/US Sql or <Shared Folder>/UK Sql Caution: The folder where you extract the zip file contents must have the same name as the zip file, or the sample templates, reports, and forms contained in the zip file will not function properly. Use the same case as the zip file name as the paths are case sensitive. 2) Extract the US Sql or UK Sql zip file into the folder you created in Shared Folder. Once the zip file contents are extracted, this folder will contain three subfolders: Reports, Forms, and Letter Templates. For example: <Shared Folder>/US Sql/Reports If you have any custom reports, you can also unzip these into Shared Folder. 3) When the unzip is complete, ensure that the CmLettersDataModel under the templates folder points to a valid datasource. In this case, you can leverage your CM Group Database as a datasource. Notes: For more information on creating a data source, please see the BI Publisher documentation at htm. For more information on configuring a data model, please see the BI Publisher documentation at T htm. Configure BI Publisher Settings in the Contract Management Administration Config Utility You must configure settings in the Administration Config Utility to enable BI Publisher to communicate with Contract Management. 1) Open the Contract Management Administration Config Utility. 2) In the Primavera Administrator dialog box, click the Tree View tab and expand Contract Management Settings > BI Publisher. 24

25 Setting Up the Contract Management Environment 3) In the BI Publisher folder: a. In the Username and Password fields, enter the username and password for an existing account on the BI Publisher server with rights to run BI Publisher reports. b. In the WebService URL field, enter a URL that points to the Web Service Definition Language (WSDL) and click Save Changes. This URL determines the Business Intelligence server to which Contract Management connects. For example: In this example, host is the name of the host on which Web Services runs, and port is the TCP port that the website will use. Note: If you enter the same host:port here that you enter in the BI Publisher > Server URL field for your database instance in the Primavera P6 Administrator, then Contract Management and P6 can run reports from the same BI Publisher configuration. 4) In the Contract Management Settings folder, expand Database Settings > Database Groups. Then expand the name of your database group instance. 5) In your database group instance: a. In the Report Location field, enter the location in BI Publisher that contains group reports. For example (the forward slash is required): /US Sql/Reports b. In the Letter Template Location field, enter the name of the folder in BI Publisher that contains group letter templates. For example (the forward slash is required): /US Sql/LetterTemplates 6) Restart the Contract Management WebLogic server. Import Reports and Forms into Contract Management To view reports and forms in Contract Management, you must import them from BI Publisher into the local Contract Management database. When the import is finished, you should be able to run reports from Contract Management. Notes: When you specify a location in Contract Management, the application validates that this path is available on the BI Publisher server. The application does not validate whether this location has valid reports. BI Publisher does not check letter capitalization. If you provide the correct path with incorrect capitalization, Contract Management cannot fetch the report description for the advanced print popup. You can also use the Server Configuration page described in this task to upload reports and forms from the local Contract Management database to the BI Publisher server. The instructions for this function can be found in the Contract Management online help. 1) Open the Contract Management Administration Application on the same machine that the Web Server is installed on to ensure you have the correct network drive mappings. 25
