Access Denied for OBIEE catalog in BIPublisher

It is often seen that when implementing custom security we face this issue below are the few useful steps for debugging.

->Check if the user has the acess to bipulisher in the privilages.
->Check it the SOAP acess is granted to BISystem users.
->Check if OBIPS and java Host are up and running.
->If SSL is enabled make sure BIP  server protocol is also https instead of http.

Furthur debugging also possible by checking the bipublisher.log file in

$FMW\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain\servers\AdminServer\logs\bipublisher.log

For enterprise installation please look for the bipublisher.log in managed server logs instead of admin server logs.
