Hi All,
We have option in OBIEE catalog to add reports/data model/components as Favorite.
But we are looking to add catalog folder as Favorite. Please share any option to do the same.
Thanks,
Xavier
The easiest way of comprehending something is always looking at HOW it works. Create a favorite and look at the XML in the catalog:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><favoritelist xmlns="com.siebel.analytics.web/favorites/v1"> <favorite name="Customers Details" catalogpath="/shared/01. QuickStart/Simple Demo Dashboard/Customers/Customers Details" type="catalogitem" /></favoritelist>
However if you look at where this is stored you'll see this:
So a system folder called _favorites UNDER a system folder called _internals. And if over the years one has learned one thing about the OBI web catalog then it is that one doesn't mess with system folders unless one knows exactly how what works why.
Let's fake an entry:
Does it show? Nope:
type="catalogitem" declares an analysis and the path points to a folder, so that's just wrong.
tl;dr - no. Favorites are for analyses.
PS: Not to make too fine a point and don't take this the wrong way. This is the internet after all and everybody can be anything they want - but signing "Xavier" while keeping 932245 as your name? Take a cue from all leaders of the BI community:
Use your actual name.
As an addition, in case you are tempted of replacing "catalogitem" by "catalogfolder", the XSD accept only 2 values for that attribute: catalogitem and category.
No idea what "category" is for, but nothing in the XSD let imagine a folder path can be used as favorite.
Category is just to make folders of favorites - i.e. group favorites:
So my statement remains, @932245 - it's only analyses and other "items". Never folders.

The user icon in the upper-right corner of OAC (DV) is displaying more menu options for our non-admin users than we wish to display. We would like to restrict these to only "Profile" and "Sign Out" for regular users. Is there a way to customize these menu items? Especially if we can control this via security, that would be…
What is wrong with this code
Am I missing something or is there no way to search through previous posts to make sure I don't duplicate a question? All I see on the filter options are tags or status… a general search for a word or phrase would be helpful.
We were under the impression that when exporting a visualization in DV to CSV format hidden columns would be include from the grammar panel. This is not happening. See below for a screenshot showing 3 hidden columns that do not appear when exporting the pivot table to CSV. This seems to have worked a month or so back but…
