I thought of
posting an interesting functionality - ‘dynamic changing OBIEE home page’
which would be a nice to have feature for most customer.
Let us first
look at the functionality and then get into details of how easily this can be
implemented:
Lirin

Sudeep

Sam
logs in:
Please
remember that these are home page screen which the users sees the moment they
log in to OBIEE. Due to security constraints, I do not want to share any real
contents.
Implementation Steps:
Step
1: Click on ‘My Account’ within OBIEE screen and make sure the
preference for starting page is set as ‘My Dashboard’ [shown below]:
Step
2: Create 3 separate dashboards with required contents. Not showing
any more details for this stepJ.
Step
3: Create a table, say DYNAMIC_PAGE with the following columns:
Your
dashboards location should match the ‘PATH’ column value in the above table.
Step
4: Create a variable in RPD which will assign the ‘dashboard path’
value to system session variable ‘PORTALPATH’, as shown below:
This should
take care of everything and you will have required dashboard set dynamically
based on login.
Hope this helps. Please do leave your feedback.
