Overview
Oracle Business Intelligence Delivers (Delivers) is the interface used to create alerts based on
Oracle Business Intelligence Answers (Answers) results. Delivers works in tandem with
Oracle Business Intelligence Scheduler (Scheduler). iBots deliver reports and alerts to end-
users. They are configured and submitted for execution using Delivers. To create iBots, the
Scheduler must be configured and four tables must be created. The method of configuring
Oracle BI Scheduler depends on the operating system being used. This document covers
how to configure Oracle BI Scheduler under Linux.
Following are the steps required to configure iBots in Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise
Edition (BI EE):
Database Database Type Select the appropriate Database Type for the database (for
example – Oracle 10g R2).
The Call Interface is automatically updated according to
the Database Type chosen.
Data Source Name The database in which you created the user S_NQ_SCHED
(for example orcl).
Username User name for the database (for example – s_nq_sched).
Password Password for the user S_NQ_SCHED.
5. Select 0 to quit and save changes to the Database configuration when prompted.
6. From the Scheduler Configuration choices, select 2 - General.
***** Scheduler Configuration *****
1 - Database
2 - General
3 - Advanced
0 - Quit
8. Select 0 to quit and save changes to the General configuration when prompted.
After setting the values of the menu and saving the changes, if you want to send reports
by mail, select "2 - Configure Mail" from the Delivers Configuration Menu to configure
the mail options.
4. Between the Alerts tags, create the tag pair <ScheduleServer> and </ScheduleServer>.
5. Between the ScheduleServer tags, insert the name of the Scheduler server.
For example:
<ServerInstance>
. . .
<Alerts>
<ScheduleServer>Schedulerserver</ScheduleServer>
</Alerts>
6. If the Scheduler port has been changed from the default of 9705, specify the Scheduler
port number.
For example:
<ServerInstance>
. . .
<Alerts>
<ScheduleServer>myhost.domain.com:10705</ScheduleServer>
</Alerts>
7. Save the file when you are done.
Changes take effect when the Oracle BI Presentation Services service is restarted.
Credential Alias Admin Specify the value admin. Presentation Services uses
this alias to identify the username-password
credential for the Scheduler administrator.
Username (Username of Username of the Scheduler administrator.

For enhanced security, choose "n". The passphrase is
not written to the xml file. Instead, you must specify
the passphrase in the instanceconfig.xml file.
Troubleshooting
Problem:
When you try to save an iBot, the following error appears:
“Oracle BI Scheduler Error: [nQSError: 68019] Authentication Failed.”
Solution:
Verify that the administrator of the metadata repository has been set in the scheduler
configuration. Follow the steps in the Configuring the Scheduler section to set the
administrator name and password for the scheduler.
