Reference: Considerations When Logging On to Dashboard
When
you log on to Dashboard, you are prompted to enter your Managed
Reporting user ID and password. Your administrator may have set
up your environment so that you are also prompted for a WebFOCUS
server user ID and password.
Multiple
logons for a single user are available using the Dashboard main
logon page and View Builder.
The URL for accessing the Dashboard
logon page is:
http://hostname[:port]/wf_context_root/bid-login?
where:
- hostname[:port]
Is the host name and optional port number (specified only
if you are not using the default port number) where the WebFOCUS
Web application is deployed.
- wf_context_root
Is the site-customized context root for the WebFOCUS Web
application deployed on your Application Server. The default value
is ibi_apps.
Note: Information
Builders recommends that users do not share user IDs when using
features that assign ownership of content or access to information
based on the Managed Reporting user ID. The features that fall into
this area are Deferred Reporting and ReportCaster. Within ReportCaster
there are many considerations in the area of ownership of schedules,
distribution lists, access lists, Report Library access to view reports,
and distribution of reports to Managed Reporting. Another area of
consideration is tracing and debugging because when you are looking
for the actions of a user that has multiple users using the same
user ID, isolating the problem becomes more difficult.
