Deploying the Custom Skin with OBI

Oracle includes a custom skin for Primavera Analytics that can be used optionally to match the theme used with other Primavera products.

To deploy the custom skin, complete the following steps:

1. Go to your Oracle Fusion Middleware home. For example, <FMW_HOME> would be C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Home.
2. Create a folder called custom_skins.
3. Go to the <Primavera Analytics unzipped directory>\obi\12c\custom_skin\OBI directory.
4. Copy the bicustom folder to the custom_skins folder.
5. To deploy the custom skin in WebLogic:
   1. Sign in to the WebLogic Administration Console.

      http://<server>:<port>/console

      where

      <server> is the IP address of the server.

      <port> is the listening port (by default, 9500).

      /console is the default context for the WebLogic Administration Console.

   2. In the Welcome window, sign in to the WebLogic domain.
   3. In the Change Center pane, click Lock & Edit.
   4. In the Domain Structure pane, click Deployments.
   5. In the Summary of Deployments pane, select the Control tab, and then click Install.

   16. Click Save.
   17. Click OK to save the deployment plan.

1. To update the instanceconfig.xml file and specify the path to the custom skin to be accessed by Presentation Services:
   1. Open the instanceconfig.xml file for editing.

      For example, <FMW_HOME>/user_projects/domains/bi/config/OBIPS/instanceconfig.xml

Under ServerInstance, locate the UI section.

1. Replace the UI section with the following:

   <UI>

   <DefaultSkin>Primavera</DefaultSkin>

   </UI>

2. After the UI section, add a URL section with the following:

   <URL>

   <CustomerResourcePhysicalPath>PATH_TO_BI_CUSTOM_FOLDER</CustomerResourcePhysicalPath>

   <CustomerResourceVirtualPath>/analyticsRes/res</CustomerResourceVirtualPath>

   </URL>

where <CustomerResourcePhysicalPath> is the location of the bicustom folder.

For example, C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Home\custom_skins\bicustom

1. Save the changes and close instanceconfig.xml.

1. To completely stop and restart the BI domain:
   1. Go to <DOMAIN_HOME>\bitools\bin.
