What Are Devices and Delivery Profiles?

Devices and delivery profiles control how you will be reached when an alert is generated by an agent and which devices receive the content:

You configure your devices and your delivery profiles from the "My Account dialog: Delivery Options tab." For more information, see "Configuring Your Devices and Delivery Profiles." (The administrator manages the types of devices that are available to you. For information, see "Managing Device Types for Agents" in System Administrator's Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition.)


Note:

Your organization might automatically generate system delivery devices and delivery profiles as follows:

  • Using the SA System subject area, your organization can generate system delivery devices based on each user's email address and other device information (such as cell phone numbers) from the SA System subject area, and then generate a system delivery profile for each user using the user's system delivery devices.

  • Using the LDAP server (but only if delivery devices and profiles have not been generated from the SA System subject area), your organization can generate system delivery devices based on each user's email address from the LDAP server and then generate a system delivery profile for each user using the user's system delivery device.

If you do not configure any devices or profiles, then the system delivery profile that is generated for you is used as the default. (Note that, even if you define other profiles, you can configure the system profile as your default profile.) If you define a delivery profile, then you can include system devices in this profile and set the priority levels for which this delivery device is used.

See "Setting Up the SA System Subject Area" in Scheduling Jobs Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition.


Depending on the destinations that are specified for an agent, content can be delivered to the:

Delivery content is assigned a specific priority. The default priority is normal. When you select devices for your active profile, you can indicate what priority content should be sent to that device. For example, if you have added a cell phone to your delivery profile, then you might associate it with high priority content only. When you know that you will be away from the office frequently and out of email range, you can select to receive only low priority content through your office email.
