How To Increase The Slider Value Limit in OBIEE 11g

by Shiva Molabanti

By default OBIEE 11G has slider value limit of 50. But most of the cases we must to change this setting to 100 or more (at least in my case). To change the default set limit, update your instanceconfig.xml file as explained below.

1. Open Instanceconfig.xml file from the location/instances/instance1/config/OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent/coreapplication_obips1

2. Make a backup copy of this file before making any changes as you may risk not being able to start BI service

3. Add the following parameters

<Charts>
<SectionSliderDefault>5</SectionSliderDefault>
<SectionSliderLimit>100</SectionSliderLimit>
</Charts>

4. Restart all BI services either from EM or using commands

/instances/instance1/bin/opmnctl stopall

/instances/instance1/bin/opmnctl startall

For more information refer to http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/bi.1111/e10541/prescatadmin.htm. It covers many more parameters, that may be needed to do other, additional customizations, too.
