OBIEE Page Caption Changes

Among many different OBIEE customization things one might also want to change the page captions that show up at the browser. Not only it would personalize the system, but it might also be helpful for a user who has his 10+ tabs open to find his OBIEE environment.
That's what I'm gonna show in this post and in this example I will just change the "Oracle BI(...)" default messages to "Test Environment".



Fortunately, you don't need to change any system javascripts and/or .css files and you can simply do this with adding or modifying your custom skin XML files.

First, you should either add or modify the already existing productmessages.xml file in your messages folder and have these kind of entries there:

<WebMessage name="kmsgProductPortal"><TEXT>  Test Environment </TEXT></WebMessage>
<WebMessage name="kmsgProductAnswers"><TEXT>Test Environment - Answers</TEXT></WebMessage>
<WebMessage name="kmsgProductDelivers"><TEXT>Test Environment - Agents</TEXT></WebMessage>
<WebMessage name="kmsgProductAdvancedReporting"><TEXT>Test Environment - Publisher</TEXT></WebMessage>
<WebMessage name="kmsgProductGeneral"><TEXT>Test Environment</TEXT><HTML>Test Environment</HTML></WebMessage>
<WebMessage name="kmsgProductAnswers"><TEXT>Test Environment - Answers</TEXT></WebMessage>

Another file to modify or add is saw.catalog.xml file under the uicmsgs folder. You should have the following entries there:

<WebMessage name="kmsgCatalogWindowTitle"><TEXT>%0% - Test Environment - Catalog</TEXT></WebMessage><WebMessage name="kmsgCatalogStartingWindowTitle"><TEXT>Test Environment - Catalog</TEXT></WebMessage>

After the changes are done, you would need to reload the XML files from the Administration window in your OBIEE environment and the changes should be there.
