Trying to bypass first Infoview screen to Document List

server administration XI Server Discussion
1

Hi Everyone,
I have downloaded the files from “How to set preferences for all users at once in BO XI R2” under samples. Now, I’m not sure how I should deploy and configure. We are on XI3.1 and use Infoview (Java) to run Webi and Crystal reports. We are wanting all users to bypass the first Infoview screen and go directly to the Document List screen. Also we have configured for SSO AD.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike

Login to InfoView, go to Preferences and under ‘InfoView Start Page:’ section, select ‘Folder’ and then select the root folder as your start up page. This will allow you to by pass the home screen.

Farhan,
Thanks for the reply. I should have made it more clear in my original post that we want all users to bypass the first screen without having to manually change for each user. The software I downloaded from SAP is suppose to be able to point all users or a group of users to a preference. I’m just not sure how I am to deploy and configure to get this to work.

Thanks,

Mike

First thing is don’t deploy that with 3.1 as it probably won’t work since that is for XIR2 and not 3.1.

Mike,

I need to do the same thing. the following is all I found to do it for all users, other then using the script. The script would likely work, problem is, my users have different prefs, so using the script would overwrite those.

In InfoViewApp.war\jsp\listing\home.jsp or tomcat\webapps\InfoViewApp\jsp\listing\home.jsp

Change the onload section to look like this:


function onLoad()
{
    //if (this.displayWorkspaceHeaderTitle)
        //displayWorkspaceHeaderTitle();
	showDocumentList();
    //var hplus = getHeaderPlusFrame();
    //hplus.resetBeforeInvokeAction();
}

I also commented out most of the displayed HTML toward the bottom since it displays briefly on page load (not required):

Ex:


</script>
<!--
<table width="100%">
	<tr>

<<< CODE REMOVED >>>

        </c_rt:if>  
    </tr>
</table>
-->
</BODY>

Remember, if you modify the jsp in the webapps folder it may be redeployed be the war back to default. Also, you may need to clear the tomcat\work\ folder to see the changes.

To answer the question regarding the pushing of preferences in XI 3.1, it is my recommendation to use the PrefsCopyUtil utility described in this post on the 4th page. It is the easiest way of pushing preferences to a group of users.
