Hide the "Get Started" section from the Home page of OBIEE 11g

Note that this change is tested in IE. Take backup of the files which you are going to modify.


Aim to to hide the Get Started section from the Home page of OBIEE 11g.

Step 1 :

 We have removed the message Get Started .... 
        <WebMessage name="kmsgGetStartedSectionHeader"><TEXT></TEXT>
   from the file >>
        C:\OBIEE\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\web\msgdb\l_en\messages\bieehomemessages.xml



Step 2 : 


We have make changes in 2 CSS files. 


C:\OBIEE\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\web\app\res\sk_blafp\b_mozilla_4\home.css


AND


C:\OBIEE\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain\servers\AdminServer\tmp\_WL_user\analytics_11.1.1\silp1v\war\res\sk_blafp\b_mozilla_4\home.css




I have added display:none; property in the following classes.



.BIHGetStartedLink,A.BIHGetStartedLink:link,A.BIHGetStartedLink:visited
{display:none;
text-decoration:none;}


A.BIHGetStartedLink:link,A.BIHGetStartedLink:hover
{display:none;
color:#039;}


A.BIHGetStartedLink:visited
{display:none;
color:#72007C;}


.BIHGetStartedLink span
{display:none;
display:table-cell;e
display:inline-block;
cursor:pointer;}


.BIHGetStartedLinkspan:hover
{display:none;
text-decoration:underline;}


.BIHGetStartedLink img:first-child
{width:32px;
height:32px;
display:none;}

Save the changes properly. Make sure that you have not added any extra characters nor remove any existing things from those files.

Restart the OBI services. Refresh the metadata. Clear the browser cache.

Check the Get Started section is gone ..!!

Thanks.


Have a nice day !!!!
