Hi All,
We have option in OBIEE catalog to add reports/data model/components as Favorite.
But we are looking to add catalog folder as Favorite. Please share any option to do the same.
Thanks,
Xavier
The easiest way of comprehending something is always looking at HOW it works. Create a favorite and look at the XML in the catalog:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><favoritelist xmlns="com.siebel.analytics.web/favorites/v1"> <favorite name="Customers Details" catalogpath="/shared/01. QuickStart/Simple Demo Dashboard/Customers/Customers Details" type="catalogitem" /></favoritelist>
However if you look at where this is stored you'll see this:
So a system folder called _favorites UNDER a system folder called _internals. And if over the years one has learned one thing about the OBI web catalog then it is that one doesn't mess with system folders unless one knows exactly how what works why.
Let's fake an entry:
Does it show? Nope:
type="catalogitem" declares an analysis and the path points to a folder, so that's just wrong.
tl;dr - no. Favorites are for analyses.
PS: Not to make too fine a point and don't take this the wrong way. This is the internet after all and everybody can be anything they want - but signing "Xavier" while keeping 932245 as your name? Take a cue from all leaders of the BI community:
Use your actual name.
As an addition, in case you are tempted of replacing "catalogitem" by "catalogfolder", the XSD accept only 2 values for that attribute: catalogitem and category.
No idea what "category" is for, but nothing in the XSD let imagine a folder path can be used as favorite.
Category is just to make folders of favorites - i.e. group favorites:
So my statement remains, @932245 - it's only analyses and other "items". Never folders.

So when I click the apply button, it uses the value . Also. How do I stop the auto populate table when the report opens???? I am in OAC
Good day, please kindly assist. We are creating a graph to calculate the number of assets per milestones. However, the planners have only populated assets for only one milestone from the list of milestones the customer wants to track. Which gives an incorrect view as the project moves past different milestones that it has…
I scheduled the report in OTBI and the agent was run successfully. However, I do not receive the report after the run in my inbox. The addresses are properly recorded, and the report is in an excel format and saved as a pivot table in otbi. What can be the cause?
Anyone has any idea why the OAC documentation on custom viz is not available now? I was able to access till last week - https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/paas/analytics-cloud/acsdv/build-package-extension.html. Does this mean OAC doesnt support custom viz or custom workbook extensions?
