Enabling BI Report Downloads
Some Integrators where documented require a profile option to be created to use its associated download, this is due to the absence of a suitable Oracle Webservice.
Our BI Report downloads do respect some but not all security configurations of Oracle. Therefore, a profile must be created and configured at the User level only for the download to function.
Each BI Report Download has its own corresponding profile option and can be found in the associated product user guide for the exact values. To enable BI Report downloads, follow the steps below for each Integrator you want to restrict.
1. Navigate to ‘Setup and Maintenance’ from the Oracle Homepage.
2. Search for and select the ‘Manage Profile Options’ task.
