  • Hey Nathan, Thanks for the response. I can say clearly that I have definitely uploaded the image to the hidden images folder in /custom/images. The real questions is how do I call that image via HTML. I'm creating a hyperlink that calls some JavaScript and it would be nice to add an icon to make it look a little nicer. Is…
    in OTBI - Using custom images in HTML Comment by Rob F April 15
  • Hello Unfortunately, adding "Treat it as attribute" didn't work. I've attached the catalog file with as simple of an analysis as I can think of for this. This should be trying to show "Full Time/Part Time" By Grade. Full Time/Part Time being calculated where if the value is = 1 then "Full Time", if it's between 0 and 1…

  • Making interactive links on a column more dynamic would be a good way to make links in reports more robust. Perhaps they could work using relative links?

  • We want to use the Organizational Hierarchy more but it slows our reports too much. Speeding up performance would be a big win for reporting using this tool!

  • Hi @sjain26 , As mentioned, I haven't pulled down files through APIs. I think I've seen tools you can pay for that might handle some of this automation for promotions. I unfortunately don't have the time or resources to get them. I'm sure google is your friend there. For Data Models in the catalog, I've been using a folder…
    in Any advice on version control for OTBI reports? Comment by Rob F December 2022
  • Hi @sjain26 I've made some strides since March when we were first looking at this. I store the XML files from OTBI analyses. It's handy to have a flat XML file to put up in source control. Data models from BI publisher become a mix of flat SQL files for each dataset/List of values based on a query and markdown files for…

  • We don't have source control right now so I feel your struggles. I've been looking at it and the best I've come up with is extracting the XML for analyses and/or archive files as suggested by Nathan.

  • I've been digging into this problem and I may be able to do it using an action to call a webservice. Is there suggestions on how to use Webservices within an OTBI session? I think I'd need to know the session ID as a variable. (if that exists)
    in Publishing an Agent for Subscription Comment by Rob F January 2021
  • Hello Raghu, Thanks for digging internally. If I"m reading the instructions we need to access the weblogic server. Is that something accessible to cloud customers? If not, assuming we'd developed a skin we wanted could we reach out to Oracle to deploy our custom Skins the same way we have to reach out to perform a P2T? I'm…
