Dear OBIEE experts,

I'd be grateful if you can help me answer these 2 questions:

1. The downloads like after each report.

I have a requirement to move it on top of the report rather than at the bottom.

Can we do that ? If yes which system files and what needs to change in them ?

Thanks in advance !!

2. The prompt :

The requirement is to show "Contains" as default and "Uncheck" Match Case by default.

Thanks a ton !!!!

    Answer to your first question, With help of java script you can do it. Look at this example...

    Business Intelligence: Javascipt to move print export link on top of report in OBIEE

    on the prompt question, "Not possible".

    It is technically possible but just not a good idea ;-)

    Really wanted to write Not possible out of the box. Yes, Java script can do it.

    Not even JS. You can hack the core files controlling the application but a bad idea since normally people mess up more than they "fix".

    So ... for 1) JS can do it, sure. But I join Christian in saying it's a bad idea. So it's easier to say "not possible" as it avoid people to destroy their instance.

    JS can do all you want with the OBIEE UI as it's a webpage.

    The issue is that it's not a simple nice static webpage, most of it is loaded asynchronously, with code injected here and there in the page. So even JS will end up making more damaged than what it fix. And of course all the activities like export, prints etc. will just not be aware at all of the changes, so it will add an inconsistency.

    At some point the tool does many things and although in theory everything it's possible it will just make things impossible to maintain when it will be about patching and upgrades.
