Starting Page and PORTALPATH problem 11g

Question

Hello,

it seems that the Starting Page option under My Account > Preferences is not working at all. Whatever dashboard I set as a starting page, it always drops me on OBIEE11g homepage, /analytics/saw.dll?BIEEHome.

Is there some additional settings that keep overwriting this?

In addition to that, I tried setting a dashboard as a page that appears after you log in for all users by using PORTALPATH session system variable (and setting Starting Page to 'Default'), however that doesn't change anything, whatever I put in there, the user always gets /analytics/saw.dll?BIEEHome after login.

Does someone know why neither Starting Page or PORTALPATH doesn't change the page that appears after login? Whatever I do, I always get the homepage /analytics/saw.dll?BIEEHome.

Thanks and regards

If a user has set soemthing in his "My Account" profile then that will win. Always.

Hierarchy is like this: Homepage (install default) loses to PORTALPATH which loses to My Account.

Hi Kzane,

I tested the scenario you mentioned in 2 different obiee versions - 11.1.1.7.0 & 11.1.1.9.160119. Both version redirects me to the dashboard page specified in My Account on login.
