Hi Christian, Seems like we are being judgmental as may the question may be a little too obvious... updating was required to keep it active.... . Using the forum to learn from the experiences of others working on the same domain ,, is what open forums are meant for ..no one would be using the forum for critical production…

Thanks Christian.. You are right in a way..but using portal Navigation or Go URL is also a part of standard OBIEE components. Though I still agree that it is not that clean/easy approach compared to other options and custom code is always a trouble, who knows which next upgrade may spill the means. Thanks for your time and…

Hi Robert, Thanks,You have summed up the feeling perfect. But sometimes...before we could say " I said so " we have to still get few things working :-( Cheers!! Anurag

Thanks for your response and support . Merry Christmas

Herr Christiain :-) Agree to what you stated but every capability in product impacts every single customer, can't speak much of the required for know reasons. So its not just one person's wish .. But In a sense somewhere line has to be drawn. Thanks for your time and support. Merry Christmas .

Agree to your point, but that is a part of the disadvantages of actually going for a interface . Decision making will definitely have to put all that in consideration, at present its just a feasibility check which we are doing.

Thanks, but its not GUI over top but conversion which we were trying to check.

Thanks for the reply, yes the question is non-sensical as it does not give a background. Sorry about that .
