Hi ,

Currently we followed below steps to customize the reports.

1. Copied customize style sheet files under "D:\OracleBI12c\analyticsRes\res" path

2. Change in "instanceconfig.xml" file :

     a.  We have copied the style sheet under "D:\OracleBI12c\analyticsRes\res" path and same as  called in 'CustomerResourcePhysicalPath' .

     b.  Under CustomerResourceVirtualPath we mentioned as virtual path '/analyticsRes/res' .

like below

  <URL>

      <CustomerResourcePhysicalPath>D:\OracleBI12c\analyticsRes\res</CustomerResourcePhysicalPath>

      <CustomerResourceVirtualPath>/analyticsRes/res</CustomerResourceVirtualPath>

   </URL>

  c. Added below xml  tag:

         <UI>

          <DefaultSkin>Custom</DefaultSkin>

          <DefaultStyle>Custom</DefaultStyle>

          <SkinMappings>

           <skinMapping>

           <biadfSkinFamily>bi-alta</biadfSkinFamily>

           <biSkin>AltaBitech</biSkin>

           </skinMapping>

          </SkinMappings>

          </UI>

3. Deployed war file from D:\OracleBI12c\analyticsRes\res Location on weblogic.

4. Restarted services.

Problem Summary:

        1. Unable to apply customize style sheet.

        2. Default style sheet crashing.

Expectation:

We are migrated obiee analytical report from 10g to 12c.

During migration we lost skin and style sheet(format) in 12c report.we need to include all customize style sheet and skins in 12c report.

Thank you,

  

instanceconfig.xml

    Have you looked at @Gianni Ceresa's blog posts on customising OBIEE styles 7 skins?

    As an extra info: did you "just" copy your old 10g custom styles into the folder? Or did you take a 12c skin and customize it to be like your 10g?

    Because lot of changes happened in the interface between 10g to 12c, so I wouldn't expect the old 10g styles to really work correctly....

    Thank you Joel for your suggestion and sharing the useful link.

    we had followed the steps mentioned in the document but still we are getting issue and style sheets are not applying properly.

    we are seeing below URL while doing the View Source of the report ...

    "res/v-wlxaLl*k8U8/sk_blafp/master/customskin.css"

    we dont know how folder 'v-wlxaLl*k8U8' is coming In above URL ,we have simply deployed the filed in

    "D:\OracleBI12c\Oracle_Home_12.2.1.4\bi\bifoundation\jee\analyticsRes\res\s_Custom\master"

    You have to follow the process outlined in Gianni's blog posts exactly!

    And by the way: use the shared folder approach. Not the ear.

    That's one of the default styles embedded in OBIEE, so if OBIEE revert back to this one it's because you have some issues with your own custom style.

    And I really have the impression you simply migrated your 10g styles instead of taking the clean new Alta and customize this one to match back to the global corporate identity (but at least having a cleaner and newer design).

    Thank you Gianni for your help,

    Now we resolved the issue and able to apply the style for font but still we are facing the issue for displaying the Color in Row and Column.

    Colors are not displaying as expected.

    Thanks and Regards

    I'm sure you can imagine that with just this there isn't anything the community can tell you, right?

    Because ... we have no idea of what you are talking about and what you exactly did so far (mainly as it's related to custom styles it also depends what you put in your style etc.)
