It's defined by the webmessage with name kmsgHeaderBIBrandName. There are various things posted online, including Oracle whitepapers on the topic. 11g or 12c is the same thing for that. Covered in OBIEE 12c - How to change portal header brand name (next to Oracle Logo) as well

The site has some issues right now :s I had to refresh 10 times having all different errors to see them again (so it isn't my fault ). A way more generic (without code and technical details) can be found at https://gianniceresa.com/2018/03/gdpr-analytics-challenge/ and…

Hi, if you look into Sample App (https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-foundation/obiee-samples-167534.html ) you will find scripts and RPD + dashboards doing these things. The scripts will maybe not work out of the box for 12.2.1.4 (because they are from an older version, main change is the lightweight SSO…

What version? (exact version) If a 12c: do you have the lightweight enabled? You maybe don't know but there are 2 login pages in some OBIEE versions, and things works in a very different way for the 2. So you need to give more info on what page you are dealing with.

My bad, skipped the fact you asked about HFM and I was talking about Planning ... (no idea why I switch to the other one). Did you try looking on MOS? I believe there have been bunch of documents there too covering how to import HFM metadata into various versions of OBIEE.

Does it really return you NULL? NULL is different than no result, different than '' or anything along that line. The RPD maybe doesn't give you any warning/error with the consistency check, but it probably means your model had some "shortcuts" which worked in 11g and have a different behaviour in your 12c. So, as Joel…

Last time I did that it was 2015 and 11.1.1.9 was freshly GA (the very first version supporting Planning out of the box). The thing is that I don't remember having installed anything on the OBIEE side, everything is there already. I just had to tell my Admintool where was the BI Server as the client can't import Planning,…

What exact version (including bundle patch) ?

Don't you have an alias after the renaming? If you have an alias it must work as usual and would be worth some further investigation ...

Different business date (from order to payment) = different point of view. You either create another time dimension proper to payment date or you create different measures proper to payment date. OBIEE is about modelling things, so you need to represent all those things as models being star schemas.

Is your question related to the front-end or the RPD? If the front-end you will need to fix your model as you missed a join, if it's in the RPD your date dimension would ideally need a day column to make a 1-1 join. If you can't have the day grain in your date dimension just write the join with a BETWEEN:…

So going back to what I first posted on this being a community forum: post some hints of what you did and how you fixed it (you can use generic names if you have a privacy concern). Because it isn't the first time this question is asked and will not be the last one, so will be helpful for others to have your first-hand…

It isn't really fragmentation as it is intended, it's more a way to pick LTS1 or LTS2 based on a fake column or a variable or things like that. Your situation is a bit…

Of course a proper SSO as suggested above is the ideal situation. As you ask for authorization I assume you agree in using an existing tool (LDAP / AD) for authentication. You can use a database to authorize users (it's covered in the official doc or in blog posts like…

You did an upgrade and things change between 11g and 12c. There are chances your RPD had something which worked in 11g but already wasn't 100% clean, so now 12c is a bit more strict on things and tell you that there is an issue. Open your model, look inside, run a consistency check, fix all the errors or warnings and than…

Hi, You marked the thread as "assumed answered" but you didn't post the answer. The idea of a community forum is that you take and you give, so when you find your own solution you still post it back in the thread as it will maybe help other users with the same kind of question.

Extending what Christian and Joel said, in your "imagine example" you are forgetting that authentication and authorization are 2 different steps. Authentication can (need?) to be managed by the enterprise LDAP/AD, but if you want to keep control of authorization you can perfectly do it and do not need to use the LDAP/AD…

As Christian said: the file says it's for every single "home" directory. But doesn't mean that your catalog will then be limited to <number of users> * <PersonalStorageLimitMB> because there is still the shared part of the catalog which isn't a "home" folder. But at least let you keep a control on the size of personal…
