A few weeks ago, I started reviewing Saved Customizations in OBIEE.  I even created one successfully and tucked that knowledge away for future use.

Today, I noticed I have a "Selections" subfolder in my catalog under my Dashboard.   I did not immediately recognize what it was, but after some research, it dawned on my that this must be the Saved Customization that I created.

The question I have now is this - how do I know which of my dashboard pages this belongs to? I've checked a few of our pages, but when I click on "Apply Saved Customizations" or "Edit Saved Customizations" on those pages, it tells me there are no customizations.

Is my test customization attached to just a single page?  Is there any way to determine which page that is without going through each one manually?

Thanks!

    You can find many related questions in the forum with a search such as below..

  • Your customization is linked to a given page, if you look into the code of the customization you find the reference.

    You'll need to do a search on an offline copy of your catalog using catalog manager:

    Rumor in the office is that I don't (and can't?) have access to Catalog Manager.  Not sure I understand that but I will keep working on it.  As a developer, it would be nice to be able to use that to help document our code.

    Also, in response to Gianni's last reply - When I navigate to my customization in the Catalog (through the BI tool itself), I don't see an option to look at the code behind it.  My options are: Delete, Copy, Rename, Create Shortcut, Archive, and Permissions.

    Is that something I'd have to do in Catalog Manager too?

    Thanks!

    If you are a developer then you have every right to have access to Catalog Manager. it is one of the OBIEE Development Client tools. All you need is accessible from Catalog Manager

    If they don't allow you Catalog Manager.....hack the stuff on the file system
