How to change header brand name

2688802

Hi,

I tried changing header name from "Business Intelligence" to custom message but in vain.

Below are the steps that I followed based on the below mentioned link:

OBIEE 12c - How to change portal header brand name (next to Oracle Logo)

Steps:

1. Created customMessages in ORACLE_HOME/user_projects/domains/bi/bidata/components/OBIPS

2. Added customMessages.xml file

3. Restarted the services.

Even after restart, header name reads Business Intelligence.

My customMessages.xml file:

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

</WebMessage>

</WebMessageTable>

</WebMessageTables>

OBIEE version used: 12.2.1.1.0

Please let me know if there is any other minor step that I'm missing.

OK. Thanks.

So if I decide to put the custom messages in a folder outside the default paths, then how do I tell OBIEE to look for those messages in that folder?

Should I deploy the folder on the bi_server and restart the server (just like old analyticsRes folder)? Or is there any configuration to be done so OBIEE knows to read the custom messages xml?

The actual folder deployment is still preferable to a custom war

What am I missing?

I copy/pasted the customMessages.xml file from here to <FMW Home>/user_projects/domains/bi/bidata/components/OBIPS/customMessages directory and reloaded files & metadata. Didn't work. Reread it multiple times to check for errors. Used XML validator service. No change. Yes, I replaced <custommessage> with actual text.

Just to test, I made the change in /<ORACLE_HOME>/bi/bifoundation/web/msgdb/<language used>/productmessages.xml. That does work.

I am using OBIEE 12.2.1.3.0 on Linux. Do I need to put it into maintenance mode? I don't think so as I also tried restarting the server.

One question though, in /<ORACLE_HOME>/bi/bifoundation/web/msgdb/<language used>/productmessages.xml the <WebMessageTable> tag uses different system and table attribute values. I tried those also.

Change the folder name from customMessages to custommessages (all lowercase), restart the presentation server component and test. See OBIEE 12c: How To Customize Messages On The Analytics Interface (Doc ID 2207038.1).
