Reapplying Customized Style Sheets


For Oracle's Siebel Business Analytics versions 7.7 and later, new styles have been appended to the following style sheets:

  • Go.css
  • PortalBanner.css
  • PortalContent.css
  • Views.css

These new classes are identified in the style sheets. In this version of Oracle Business Intelligence, new styles and files must be added to the underlying style sheet (for example, to s_Siebel7). For complete functionality, any custom styles require similar updating. In addition, views2.css and some other files have been have been added to the s_ directory. For custom column formatting to work properly, references to font sizes and families should also be removed from the td styles in PortalBanner.css, PortalContent.css, Views.css.

Because of these changes to styles, review your deployment's customizations manually, reapply them, and test them thoroughly to ensure that there are no problems.

After you have tested them, but before you copy the default views.css files back to the implementation server, perform the following task on the server to clear the server caches.

To clear the server caches and restore your default views

  1. Shut down Oracle Business Intelligence Server, Oracle BI Presentation Service and IIS.
  2. Remove your custom views.css from the directory where it has been installed.

    For example:

    $INSTALL\Web\App\Res\s_Siebel7\b_mozilla_4

    or

    $INSTALL\OracleBIData\Web.

  3. Clear the Oracle BI Presentation Services Server Cache.

    In the C:\WINNT\Temp directory, delete the nQs_*.temp files.

  4. Clear the Browser Cache.

    From the Internet Explorer menu, navigate to Tools > Internet Options > Settings > View Files, and delete all the files in these folder.

  5. Restore the default views.css files to the appropriate folder.
  6. Restart the Analytics Server, Oracle BI Presentation Services and IIS.
