OBIEE - (Invoke|Navigate) to an URL (Web Page|HTTP Request)
Table of Contents
About
When creating a “Navigate to a Web Page” or an “invoke an HTTP reqest” action, you need to give an URL.
Unfortunately, you can not use a relative URL (relative to the server), you need to use aliases to make them “relative”.
http://@[myAlias]/analytics/saw.dll?Go...

Example
With the Go URL:
Where:
- the ps alias has the presentation server value <wrap box>https://host:port/analytics/</note>
- and we use the Go URL syntax: <wrap box>saw.dll?Go&[email protected]{Path}&[email protected]{Action}&[email protected]{P0}&[email protected]{P1}&[email protected]{P2}&[email protected]{P3}</note>
Configuration
The Oracle BI EE installation contains a configuration file:
<Oracle Middleware Home>\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain\config\fmwconfig\biinstances\coreapplication\ActionFrameworkConfig.xml
After you modify the configuration file, you need to restart the Managed Server in Weblogic that is hosting your Oracle BI EE environment.
