Some useful OBIEE11g Customization

Hi All,

I have recently moved to OBIEE11g and am learning the hard way. I am facing issues almost every day and am able to solve most of them with the help other forums and also little bit with my own experience. I have made a small list of customizations in OBIEE11g. Hope it helps.

NOTE: The following solution has worked for me and thus I have posted them.

For custom skin related queries, I would request you all to just follow the steps mentioned in the following link:

Just replce “bieehome” in the above code with the url of your choice. The new code looks like the following:
saw.header.NavBar.prototype.onHome=function
(){window.location.href=”http://:9704/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&PortalPath=%2Fshared%2FAnalyst%2F_portal%2FMy%20Dashboard&page=My%20Page&#8221;}
