How to change the Languages And Locales In The OBIEE Login Screen

Hi,

I found this in Oracle support, It is interesting so thought to share with you. If you have oracle support account then you can access this directly from oracle support (Doc ID 1267934.1)

Goal

How to modify the list of available languages and locales in the Oracle Business Intelligence (OBIEE) login screen, for versions 10g (10.1.3.x.x) and 11g (currently 11.1.1.3.0).

Solution

In OBIEE 10g it is possible to change the list of available languages and locales in the log in screen. This is done by editing instanceconfig.xml file under the directory

<OracleBIData>/web/config

and adding/removing the languages from the corresponding tags.

For example, to display only Germand and English languages, you can set it as follow:

<AllowedLanguages>de,en</AllowedLanguages>
<AllowedLocales>de-at,de-ch,de-de,en-us</AllowedLocales>

Then, you need to restart Presentation Server.

**************************************************************
In OBIEE 11g the settings have changed. In the instanceconfig file now you need to modify within the <Localization> tag.

The instanceconfig.xml file is located under
<BI_HOME>/instances/instance3/config/OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent/coreapplication_obips1

for example
C:\OBIEE_11g\instances\instance3\config\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreapplication_obips1

This is how you need to modify the instanceconfig.xml file:

<Localization>
<AllowedLanguages>de,en</AllowedLanguages>
<AllowedLocales>de-at,de-ch,de-de,en-us</AllowedLocales>

</Authentication>
<Localization>
<AllowedLanguages>de,en</AllowedLanguages>
<AllowedLocales>de-at,de-ch,de-de,en-us</AllowedLocales>
</Localization>

</ServerInstance>
</WebConfig>
</Localization>

OBIEE11g: How to insert or Display or Show a Dashboard inside another Dashboard

Hi...

Recently i got an interesting question from my colleague regarding inserting or displaying a dashboard inside another dashboards. Its sounds good and i started thinking on it. The easy way to do it is using the dashboard object "Embedded Content". In this post i am going to show you how i achieved this requirement.

From the properties of the Embedded content we all know that it is useful for displaying any web content in the obiee environment (dashboards). The general scenarios are displaying the clients website or displaying the client email login pages etc.... The new point is we can use the same to display one dashboard inside the another dashboard. If we understand the functionality of the dashboard we can say a dashboard is also a webpage which will have some url so simply by adding this dashboard URL to the embedded content we can achieve this. Follow the screenshots to understand better....

Requirement: In my case i have two dashboards "Demo Dashboard" and "Sales Analytics". I want to display Sales Analytics inside the Demo dashboard.

Step 1:

Open the Sales Analytics Dashboard (click on the dashboards and select the sales analytics)

Step 2: Copy the URL of that page

Step 3: Now go to the Demo Dashboards

 Step 4: Click on the Edit Dashboard

Step 5: Add the Embedded content object (drag and drop embedded content from left window to right)

Step 6: Click on the edit properties of the embedded content

Step 7: Now paste the URL of the Sales Analytics dashboard in the URL section

If you want you can adjust the width and hight. I have changed them as per my requirement.

Step 8: Now save the dashboard and run the same, You can see Sales Analytics dashboard is displayed inside the Demo dashboard

 Thanks,
