Adding filter to many reports

3280272

Hi.

In Obiee 12c

If I have many reports and I want to add one filter to all of them I will have to open every and add this filter to all (every single one).

Is there any other way to add filter to reports without opening every reports?

Officially there isn't a way, no tools or other supported tricks.

Unofficially it depends on how good you are with some code and confident in doing things ....

Filters are "just" a piece of XML into analysis, so you can script things to do the job. But because you would be manipulating the XML outside OBIEE, you are in charge to make sure you aren't making mistakes, your XML is valid and not just from a XML point of view but also from an OBIEE point of view.

Keeping it simple: you can do it, if you break everything it's your fault and only yours. Don't expect Oracle or anybody else to jump in and fix all the XML you destroyed

(And that's why backups exists....)
