Customizing OBIEE home page

Problem Description
I am trying to add an Analysis at bottom of default Home Page (bieehome.html). I crawl through some blogs and found a way to embed contents of a URL to the landing page. So tried adding below options to the existing html

<iframe src="saw.dll?Go&Path=%2fshared%2fUser%20View%2fDefault%20Home%20Page%2fReports%2fReport%20-%20Alert%20Message&Options=r" width="100%" height="10%" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"></iframe>
<embed src="saw.dll?Go&Path=%2fshared%2fUser%20View%2fDefault%20Home%20Page%2fReports%2fReport%20-%20Alert%20Message&Options=r">

The issue is the above options adds the Analysis to the HTML Page, but removes everything else (toolbar, recently opened documents section, etc..), replaced with some weird coding.

My question is

How can I add analysis to bieehome.htm page keeping the original contents as it is?

And the question is?

There is generally a question mark somewhere

Also have a look at on some extra info you can provide which are going to help you getting a better answer.

How can I add Analysis on bottom of the Default Home Page (highlighted area), keeping the original contents intact.

Gianni Ceresa · Oct 4, 2017 2:03PM

You didn't really look at the posted link, right?

3. Give information about your environment, such as versions of software you use. This is essential, as versions change and other users might run into a similar problem never knowing if the thread they read was about their version.

Because yes ... there are around 10+ different version of OBIEE each one with its own things ....

PS: I don't ask just to annoy you, but if you invest some time in your thread people will definitely value your investment and try to help. If you don't care enough yourself while posting, other users will also not care ...

I really appreciate your guidance and updated the actual post as per document and tried to provide as much information as I could. Please let me know if I miss anything worth mentioning here.

Gianni Ceresa · Oct 4, 2017 3:34PM

Out of curiosity : why are you trying to include an analysis there?

Where does the info come from in the analysis?

Do you store the "down time" in a DB and change it daily? Do you update the analysis by hand ?

Muhammad A Majeed · Oct 4, 2017 3:53PM

We are storing messages in DB to display on UI for weekly releases and are being inserted/updated using OBIEE Writeback
1. On the analysis, we are showing the messages according to start and end time with logic (CURRENT_TIMESTAMP between START_TIME and END_TIME)
2. Using CSS animation to flash these messages (working fine in analysis)
Can't use session or repository variables as they don't refresh when a page loads. If a user session is already started and a release time starts afterwards, he will not able to see these messages. Whereas for this Analysis we have disabled RPD and Presentation Cache to get the updated results
