Note: You will need to update the variables for weblogic hostname, port, username, and password.

OBIEE 11g Steps
The following steps take place from within OBIEE. They will create a simple Agent to invoke the
webservice deployed above, and then create a hidden dashboard page to be a launch point for the agent.

Login to the OBIEE portal (http://localhost:9704/analytics)


Page 18


Page 19



Create a new Dashboard,called DemoSettings.



Under Location, select Browser…



From the Shared Folders folder, select New Folder. Name it DemoAccount.

Select the radio button for Add content later (Create empty dashboard). Click Ok.


Page 20


Page 21



Click on the Catalog link, and navigate to the newly created folder, DemoAccount.


Select Permissions to set the appropriate permissions on the new folder, BI Administrator should
have Full Control. BI Consumer should have Open.
Make sure that Apply permissions to sub-folders and Apply permissions to items within folder are
both selected.


Click Ok.


Page 22

From the New menu in the OBIEE global navigation, select Action


Page 23

Choose Invoke Web Service from the popup menu.


Page 24

Plug in the WSDL and click Open.
The URL would look like: http://<weblogic host>:<obiee port>/<package name>-<project name>-contextroot/<package name>Port?WSDL

On my local, it is: http://172.16.12.166:9704/ChngPwd-passwordchange-contextroot/ChngPwdPort?WSDL

Drill down until you can select passwordChange, and select it. Click Ok


Page 25

This opens up a new dialog box, enter the following values for the prompts (no quotes):
o
passwordChange_arg0 = "Username:"
o
passwordChange_arg1 = "Old Password:"
o
passwordChange_arg2 = "New Password:"
o
passwordChange_arg3 = "Confirm Password:"

For the Username argument, for Value select Session Variable, then type in USER and mark it
as fixed and hidden.
This will force the password change to only work for the current logged in user.


Page 26

Click the Options button to personalize the messages (again, no quotes):
Set Dialog Title to "Change Password"
Set Action Help Text to "Please enter your existing password and new password below."
Set Execute Button Text to "Change Password"
Leave all other options blank.


Page 27

Click on the Action Results tab and enter the parameters for the return messages (again, no quotes):
Set Dialog Text to "@{passwordChangeResponse}"
Create one XPath variable:
Name: passwordChangeResponse
XPath Expression: Body/passwordChangeResponse/return
Set Dialog Title to "Result"


Page 28

Click Ok. Click Save Action.
Save the action as ChangePassword into the DemoAccount Shared Folder you created above.


Page 29

Navigate to your newly created Dashboard, DemoSettings. Edit the dashboard by placing a new section.
In that section, add a text item. Place the following into the text item (making sure to check the Contains
HTML Markup box):


Page 30


Page 32


Page 33

Click Ok. Edit the Column Properties. Click on Custom CSS Style Options (HTML Only) and add the
following to the Use Custom CSS Style:
position:absolute;height:120px; margin-top:40px;

Drag an Action Link below your text item in that same section. Name the link Change Password, and
navigate to the saved Action Link you saved to the Shared Folder. Don’t define any values, just click on
the Ok button.
Click Ok to close the Action Link Properties window.


Page 34

On the main section properties, unselect Collapsible. Additionally, from the Section Properties, set the
border position to None.

OBIEE Server Steps

The following steps take place on the OBIEE server. All files references are
for a Linux/Solaris install, but file locations will be similar for Windows.
Update the following files, to place a link to the Change Password in the header bar:
/apps/applobi/OBIEE11g/Oracle_BI1/bifoundation/web/app/res/b_mozilla/header.js
/apps/applobi/OBIEE11g/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/servers/bi_server1/tmp/_WL_user/
analytics_11.1.1/7dezjl/war/res/b_mozilla/header.js


Page 40

For these two files, find the line:

b.push(new
obips.ContextMenu.MenuOption(saw.header.getLocalizedString("kmsgHeaderMyAccou
nt"),"",null,new obips.Callback(this,this.onMyAccount)));

and replace it with:

b.push(new
obips.ContextMenu.MenuOption(saw.header.getLocalizedString("kmsgHeaderMyAccou
nt"),"",null,new obips.Callback(this,this.onMyAccount)));b.push(new
obips.ContextMenu.MenuOption(saw.header.getLocalizedString("kmsgHeaderCustomU
RL"),"",null,new obips.Callback(this,this.onCustomURL)));



then find the line:

saw.header.NavBar.prototype.onMyAccount=function(){saw.header.Menubar.getMana
ger().hidePopupPanel();var a=new
saw.ondemandload.FuncProxy("obips.AccountInfo.launchDialog",{messageTemplate:
"kuiMyAccountDialogHead"});a.exec()};



and replace it with:

saw.header.NavBar.prototype.onMyAccount=function(){saw.header.Menubar.getMana
ger().hidePopupPanel();var a=new
saw.ondemandload.FuncProxy("obips.AccountInfo.launchDialog",
{messageTemplate:"kuiMyAccountDialogHead"});a.exec()};saw.header.NavBar.proto
type.onCustomURL=function(){var w = 1920, h = 1080; if (document.all) { w =
document.body.clientWidth;h = document.body.clientHeight;x =
window.screenTop;y = window.screenLeft;} else if (document.layers) { w =
window.innerWidth;h = window.innerHeight;x = window.screenX;y =
window.screenY;} var popW = 450, popH = 276;var leftPos = ((w-popW)/2)+y,
topPos = ((h-popH)/2)+x;window.open('saw.dll?PortalPages&PortalPath
%2Fshared%2FUser%20Account%2F_portal%2FUser%20Settings','passwordresetwindow'
,'toolbar=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=no, resizable=no,location=no,


Page 41

directories=no, status=no,
width='+popW+',height='+popH+',top='+topPos+',left='+leftPos);};

Note: Replace the bold part with the path to the location you saved the Action Link in OBIEE above.


Page 42


Page 43

Update the following file to add the resource id
/apps/applobi/OBIEE11g/Oracle_BI1/bifoundation/web/msgdb/common/saw.header.xml
For this file, add the following line:
<resource id="kmsgHeaderCustomURL" />


Page 44

Save it and exit
The next file will not exist out of the box, and needs to be created, along with any folders along the way.
/apps/applobi/OBIEE11g/instances/instance1/bifoundation/OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent/core
application_obips1/msgdb/l_en/customMessages/uicmsgs/saw.header.xml
For this file, you will be creating it, so make the contents:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>


Page 45

<webmessagetables xmlns:sawm="com.siebel.analytics.web/message/v1">
<webmessagetable lang="en-us" system="saw.header" table="Messages">
<webmessage name="kmsgHeaderCustomURL"><text>Change
Password</text></webmessage>
</webmessagetable>
</webmessagetables>


Page 46

Save it and exit

Restart the OBIEE services. You should now see a link under the User menu called Change Password.
This will open a new window providing the user with simple instructions to change their password.
