Synchronization


Synchronization process is to honor EBS security in SplashBI at any point of time. Once EBS Users and EBS Responsibilities are imported to SplashBI, later changes or updates happening in Oracle EBS need to be propagated to SplashBI.


Considering below scenarios, a report EBS to SplashBI Synchronization Process has been developed to keep SplashBI in sync with respect to the below explained scenarios.


The report needs to be scheduled daily or depending on business scenarios so that the report changes or updates SplashBI EBS Users and SplashBI Responsibilities to keep it in sync with Oracle EBS User and Responsibility settings.


Oracle EBS changes or updates that need to be updated or propagated to SplashBI are explained below:


  1. When Responsibilities are End Dated in EBS

This report will mark the EBS responsibilities imported to SplashBI as disabled and will be not be available in below areas:

  • For sharing in Reports, Domains and Dashboards section.
  • Will not be shown in Responsibilities drop down during Report, Dashboard execution times and in chart edit and run times.
  • In Admin >ERP Mappings > Responsibilities section, responsibilities marked as Disabled are in italic.

2.   When Responsibilities Access is Removed in EBS to EBS Users

  • Users are removed from the assignees list in SplashBI for that respective mapped responsibility.

3.  When EBS Users are End Dated in EBS

Users are marked as disabled in SplashBI and will not be available in below areas:

  • Will not be available for sharing in Reports, Dashboards and Domains.
