Creating OBIEE Object Content

OBIEE objects are available only when Oracle BI Enterprise Edition and the Oracle BI Applications adapter for EnterpriseOne are installed and setup for your environment. To create and use OBIEE Object content, you must have access to the OBIEE server. When you create new OBIEE object content, be sure to provide sufficient area on the workspace to work with the content.

To create an empty frame on the framework workspace:

  1. In the framework edit mode, select a layout from the Name drop-down list.

  2. Click the Create New Content icon.

    A popup window appears showing the kinds of content you can create.

  3. Click the OBIEE icon and drag and drop the empty frame that appears on the workspace.

    You can position the empty frame horizontally or vertically on the framework workspace.

    After you drop the empty frame on the workspace, a Select OBIEE object window appears showing a list of shared folders.

  4. On the Select OBIEE object window, click the name of the shared folder for which you want to create OBIEE content.

    If additional folders appear on the Select OBIEE object window, continue to navigate through the folders until you find the object that you want to use for the content.

  5. After finding the object that you want to use, click Select on the title bar of the Select OBIEE object window.

Note: If you receive a message indicating that OBIEE content cannot be displayed in an iFrame, you should disable iFrame busting.See Disabling iFrame Busting

After you select the OBIEE object, the frame on the workspace is named Create link to Oracle Business Intelligence Page and contains the OBIEE link information. The workspace content frame also has Save and Close icons in the title bar. Clicking the Close icon before saving the content cancels the content. Depending on the type of OBIEE object you select, the Create link to Oracle Business Intelligence Page is grouped into two or three sections:

  • Link Information

  • When do you want to see it

  • What type of link

    For OBIEE content, the What type of link section appears if you select an OBIEE Answer instead of an OBIEE Dashboard Page.
