OBIEE 12c customlinks.xml

user13001889

Can anyone please let me know where can I find customlinks.xml file in OBIEE 12.2.1.0 . I don't see any file located under

BI_DOMAIN/config/fmwconfig/biconfig/OBIPS Which was mentioned in the OBIEE 12c administration guide document.

i need this file so that I can change/add custom links to header in home page.

You can keep the file anywhere you prefer, as long as you mention the full path in the instanceconfig.xml file.

I have it share the same folder as the instanceconfig.xml.

        <CustomLinks>

            <Enabled>true</Enabled>

            <filePath>/obiadv1/u01/Oracle/config/domains/bi/config/fmwconfig/biconfig/OBIPS/customlinks.xml</filePath>

        </CustomLinks>

It's ok to copy the file from 11g as is. incase you want to create a new file here is the structure.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<customLinks xmlns="com.siebel.analytics.web/customlinks/v1">

        <link id="l1" name="Google" description="Google" src="https://www.google.com" target="blank" >

                <locations>

                        <location name="header" insertBefore="catalog" />

                        <!--

                        <location name="header" insertBefore="advanced" />

                        <location name="header" insertBefore="home" />

                        <location name="getstarted" />

                        -->

                </locations>

        </link>

</customLinks>
