Thanks!

Hi,
Tried to set default dashboard for all the users.
1. Created a session init block
2. Used data source as select '/shared/SH Test/_portal/Test1' from dual
3. Assigned this value to PORTALPATH session variable
4. In Presentation services > Administration > My account > Default dashboard should be set to 'default'. Then only the dashboard specified in init block will be displayed otherwise My account will override the init block.
5. Save the changes made to rpd.
5. Logout and relogin to see if it is working fine. it is working perfectly fine.
For details please refer the GSC replication document. But it is for all the users.
if customer would like to have user/group based home page.
1. They may need to have 2 separate tables.
i. Group_path_tab with 2 columns. Group_id, portal_path
Have group wise portal path for all the groups
ii. User-group map table
Group_id, Group_name, user_id
User should be part of some group.
2. Then in the init block write the sql should be something like this
select A.portal_path from Group_path_tab A, User_group_map B
where B.user_id = :USER
and B.Group_id = A.Group_id
SO based on USER session variable, it will try to identify the group and then the portal_path.
Finally assign this value to PORTALPATH session variable.
xample:
Kindly refer the below one..it will very helpful to set homepage for to be different on a per user/group basis

i.e:
Init block
select '/shared/AFS/_portal/GPC AFS Reporting' from dual
Variable target is PORTALPATH (IT'S CASE SENSITIVE)
'/shared/AFS/_portal/GPC AFS Reporting'
finally it's be like this
actual (earliar one)
http://w01sgpcbiapp1a:9704/analytics/saw.dll?dashboard&PORTALPATH=&/shared/AFS/_portal/GPC AFS Reporting
after calling default one :
http://w01sgpcbiapp1a:9704/analytics/saw.dll?dashboard&PortalPath=%2Fshared%2FAFS%2F_portal%2FGPC%20AFS%20Reporting
