Hi,

I have a requirement to change customization value created by user.

e.g:

One of the customer save customization with Filter as R6, the person wants that next month that value should reflect as R7, is it possible to do??

Thanks and Regards

    Question: How good are you with XML hacking?

    All customizations are stored in the presentation catalog just like any other artifact. Yes, you can go to the file system and change the values inside the XML but it's not really something I'd suggest unless you're pretty much bullet-proofing the way how you do it.

    Hi Christian,

    Thank you very much for your reply. I know XML a bit. But the customization is saved in user folder and it is showing as NO Access while try to right click in catalog manager. Is there any way so that Admin can get access to all the folders.

    Thanks

    Anirban,

    That's why I said "file system" and "wouldn't suggest". You really have to change those physically on the file system itself and not through Catalog Manager or the Catalog Interface (where they anyways aren't visible at all)

    @Anirban1, maybe you should alter requirements a little? I mean instead of changing the filter every month you can create a filter with a session (repository?) variable and change the variable value rather than use dirty hacking?
