Hi, we are currently being audited by LMS and have been told that we cannot use BI Publsiher standalone under our IAS (forms and REports) and IDS licenses.
Initally i tried to install/expand our F&R Dpomain to host BI publiher but get admin control and My oracle support said it not supported and we must install standalone, though on the same servers.
We are repalceing our RDF reports for BI reports and misway through.
The auditers are not using our IAS/IDS to cover BI and saying we need to prove or purchase OBI licenses.
the Middleware docs says
A license to OFR includes a restricted-use license to Oracle Analytics Publisher (formerly Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher). Use of Oracle Analytics Publisher is restricted to use for production deployment purposes only. For use of Oracle Analytics Publisher with application development and testing, a full use Oracle Analytics Publisher, Oracle Business Intelligence EE, or Internet Developer Suite license is required.
We have enough nup's of both licneses.
They are saying we dont as wont allocate any ias/ids but also possibly using the wrong bi product/install.
if we installed all of OBI sureley that would be worse than BI Standalone, which is just weblogic server and a BI domian.
if anyone can help shed any light on this it would be of grreat help.
many thanks
