Saved Customizations

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!

Dennis

  • 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
