Why do style and skin directories need to be maintained in multiple paths?

http://obiee101.blogspot.com/2008/09/obiee-setting-up-compagny-custom-skin.html describes how to set up custom skins and styles in OBIEE 10g -- but I have a follow-up question.
What is the significance of having to store style and skin directories (for both original and custom styles and skins) in two directories? The blog post specifically mentions having to store style and skin directories in the following two directories:
1. ..\OracleBI\web\app\res\
2. ..\OracleBI\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\applications\analytics\analytics\res\
Why isn't just one instance of the style and skin directories sufficient? And what happens if I fail to keep the contents of the directories in sync?
(In the comments section of the above blog post, a user goes even further, recommending storing custom style and skin directories in the ..\OracleBIData\web\res directory, instead. Note the presence of "Data", and the absence of "app", in this additional directory path. So that's potentially a third location to keep these directories!)

The default installation of OBIEE uses embedded application server called OC4J. I don't research this featurevery deep but I guess that application in such configuration may use files in a bi and oc4j_bi directory. But you may install OBIEE under another application server. In this case only bi directory will be use.

OBIEE 11g : Unable to see any images while customizing styles and skins

Hi,
I am trying to customize OBIEE 11g style and skin. I followed the steps mentioned at http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/12/oracle-bi-ee-11g-styles-skins-custom-xml-messages/ and also in oracle white paper http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi/customizing-oracle-biee-11g-176387.pdf.
I am not able to see any images on any OBIEE screens. After login, I can see the name of skin which i have created as the default skin but login page images, header images (after login) are not coming up. Can you please provide solution?
P.S. I have not changed any images or any css files in the custom skin and style directory. I just wanted to know first whether the new skin/style works for me. If it works, then i will apply some sort of customization.

That is correct. Also remember to delete browser cache. Here you have the folders: Re: how to insert the picture in the dashboard of BIEE
Let me know.

Oracle BI 11g switch colors (styles and skins) back to 10g

Hi all,
Is there a way to siwtch back to the old colors of 10g?
If you install oracle BI 11g the colors are complete different from 10g.
We like to have the old colors back.
Regards
Stefan

Hi
i dont think 11g is providing backward compatibility for look and feel in OBIEE 11g but alternative way is to Develop Custom Styles and Skins.

Change Styles and Skins

Hi,
Can Styles and/or Skins be changed by login id?
Thanks?

Skins can be varied at the time of user login. They can be dynamic(You can set the SKIN system variable dynamically in the repository). But styles do not have that option since styles can vary from one dashboard page to another and hence are not specific to a user.
Thanks,

Smartform need to be executed on multiple cleints.

Hi all,
My sceanrio is like i have smartform and that smartform need to be executed on multiple systems.
We have different clients with different system number but server is at same IP.
for eg : Client 130
           System Id - 05
           IP - 192.168.101.102
Another Client - 140
            System Id - 09
            IP - 192.168.101.102
The smartforms is attached by output type.
Now sceanrio is when i execute the smartform in client 130 it executes successfully.
But when i tried to execute the same in client 140 then it says "no runtime object exists for form" .When i execute the smartform in client 140 then it successfully executes.
So if we have 10 more cleint then everytime we have to execute and generate function module for smartform.
Is there is some thing i am missing .
Please advise.
Regards,

hi navdeep,
basically smartform is independent of client.
plz check the required output type is defined in otherclients also.
other wise define them in SPRO or NACE.
then it will work.
i hope it will help you.
please reward me if helpful.

I need help writing a script that finds the first instance of a paragraph style and then changes it

I need help writing a script that finds the first instance of a paragraph style and then changes it to another paragraph style. I don't necessarily need someone to write the whole thing, by biggest problem is figuring how to find just the first instance of the paragraph style. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hi,
Do you mean first instance of the paragraph style
- in a chosen story;
- on some chosen page in every text frames, looking from its top to the bottom;
- in a entire document, looking from its beginning to the end, including hidden layers, master pages, footnotes etc...?
If story...
You could set app.findTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle to your "Style".
Story.findText() gives an array of matches. 1st array's element is a 1st occurence.
so:
Story.findText()[0].appliedParagraphStyle = Style_1;
//==> this will change a paraStyle of 1st occurence of story to "Style_1".
If other cases...
You would need to be more accurate.

I have a mac mini, and I need to be able to submit online documents that are format APA style and as a word document. Can I do this in pages?

I have a mac mini, late 2012. I need to be able to submit online documents in APA style and as a MSWord document. Can I do this using pages or another app??

In addition to what lllaass wrote, I would add that you keep it simple, that is, keep to APA 6 formatting requirements, but watch use of bullets, as well as insertion of figures or charts. It also might help if you had access to MS Office for Windows to open up your file before uploading to confirm that what you wrote in Pages is what the 'reader' on the other sees.

Why does Realplayer pop up and says I need to download it to burn my movie?

Why does Realplayer pop up and says I need to download it to burn my movie?

Frank M Siino
What do you do when you get this pop up? Click cancel and then proceed to burn to disc successfully with Premiere Elements and its burn software and your burner?
Lots of questions and details needed to help.
1. What version of Premiere Elements do you have and on what computer operating system is it running?
2. What are the properties of your source media and what have you or the program set as the project preset?
3. What are you doing with the burn to feature...burn to DVD, burn to AVCHD on DVD, or burn to Blu-ray?
4. What do you click on to get the Realplayer pop up...Publish+Share or Disc or DVD or AVCHD or Blu-ray?
5. When all this is happening what does the burn dialog show for burner location? Does it show the burner into which you placed your disc?
Those are some of the types of questions that need answers in order to put together some troubleshooting strategy to help you.
Be sure to look into how you have your computer set up for Default Programs and AutoPlays as a background for all the rest.
Looking forward to the details from you to help you with your question.
Thanks.

A UK calendar has appeared on my phone. I live in New Zealand and don't need a reminder of the Battle of the Boyne! How do I get rid of it (why is it there)? There is no option to delete.

A UK calendar has appeared on my iPhone 5s. I live in New Zealand and don't need a reminder of the anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne!. It just appeared after the last update. No option to remove it in edit. How can I get rid of it? A New Zealand holiday calendar would be a help instead!
