Oracle Analytics Account Preferences Logic Page

Question

Hi,

In our company we need to specialize login pages for different users. In order to achieve that, we set PORTALPATH variables and connect it to a database table. When I check the variable value from the analytics, it has the value of my databases table. So, there is no problem with the variable. However, it does not successfully work for users. All users still see the default dashboard page when they login.How can I configure this option successfully?

Our system version is: 6.4

Thank all for you interest and help.

Regars,

Dilek

Hi @dilek ,

Did you enable the deprecated feature first? https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocContentDisplay?id=2622528.1

Because it is deprecated and disabled by default, you need to change a thing first (if you look the above documented it covers the process to enable a few disabled options, the PORTALPATH is mentioned in the last one).

Then you can only try and cross your fingers.

Because the PORTALPATH is exposed in the new DV console, you can only hope that leaving that blank and setting your session variable will work.

Your usage of PORTALPATH, something that has been a classic usage for the past years in OBIEE, doesn't seem to have been considered in the evolutions of the product. That's why even with the setting to enable the disabled feature it could not work because conflicting with the PORTALPATH setting exposed in the DV page (expecting a static value applied to every user of the product).

If it still doesn't work I believe you have no other option than raising an SR on one side to see if there is maybe some internal settings that you could try, and at the same time post an idea to have the product support the logic you need: be able to define the default landing page at the user level (with a session variable) instead of a global system setting.

Also, the PORTALPATH setting in the DV page, accept (at least in OAC, no idea if it's a feature that was already in OAS 6.4) a configuration by application role:

{"application role 1":"catalog dashboard path 1","application role 2":"catalog dashboard path 2","default":"catalog dashboard path 3"}

Still not the same granularity and flexibility than the session variable, but maybe it could be a solution if nothing else works.

Hi @Mallikarjuna Kuppauru-Oracle ,

Thank you for your response. I looked the threads but my need is to change starting page for different users. For example, when user A is logged in, it should see Dashboard A, user B is logged, it should see Dashboard B etc. Is there a way to achieve that?

Regards
