·
Migrating Catalog
Groups to Application Roles
Detail Level:
·
To simplify
administration and configuration, no longer requires a real user called
BISystemUser for internal communication. The application role BISystem is also
no longer present in the Policy Store, and will be removed from any upgraded
11g environment.
·
GUIDs are
replaced with user names. There is no longer any need to refresh GUIDs as part
of lifecycle operations. Your administrator is now responsible for ensuring
that users leaving the system are cleaned up from Oracle Business Intelligence.
·
Security Store (Policy
and Credential Stores) is configured in a relational database rather than in a
file. The database is the same as used by RCU. This change makes scaling
easier, and makes clusters more reliable.
·
In this release
configuring SSL end to end is now less complex and uses offline commands.
·
In this release a new
process enables you to migrate Catalog groups to application roles.
