Besides it possible being a copyright infringement, you run run the risk that you loose al your work on the next system upgrade. The content and appearance of the Log On and Log off screen is based on a couple of files which are highly customable. First of all make your own custom Style and Skin. (If you can’t remember how have a looke here). In the ..\OracleBI\web\app\res\sk_MyCompagny\b_mozilla_4 you will find logon.css which controls the look and feel. In the .LogonTable part you will find a reffence to the background image, you can change this to your own personal image:
(WOW: if you are on OC4J_BI be sure to keep all changes in sync with the files in ..\OracleBI\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\applications\analytics\analytics\res\sk_MyCompagny\b_mozilla_4)
The rest of the screen is diffeded into 6 parts:
HeadLine:
Appereance: logon.css => .Headline, content: ProductMessages.xml => kmsgProductGeneral {Info on making your own customMessages can be found here}.
InfoText:
Appereance: logon.css => .InfoText, content: system generated.

For some reason I can not get the changes to stick. I have edited the language XML files, saved them, and then stopped and restarted the Oracle BI services and no luck. Still shows the old information.
Any insight is greatly appreciated!

Hi Tom,
Did you also reboot your webserver?
Try clearing the cache of your web-server, it can be quit persistive.

Hi John,
I have a requirement to add flash player content in the login Page. So can you tell me how we can add .swf files in the logon.css file.As the req needs to show flash content with a login page table(by side).
Please suggest any method for the same with the reference piece of code(in Which files we should change).
Thanks in advance.

I want to customise Log On Screen with a Customer Message. I want to replace 'Oracle Business Intelligence' with 'My Company XXXXX BI Initiative' I changed this in kmsgProductGeneral message in ProductMessages.xml from ‘Oracle Business Intelligence’ to (say) this
This has also changed ‘Oracle Business Intelligence 10.1.3.4.1′ to ‘'My Company XXXXX BI Initiative 10.1.3.4.1′ which is confusing.
Can you please advise?
Regards,
Sudhir
@Tonny,

Can you please explain how to modify logoncontrolmessages.xml
for setting\hiding the product number in ‘'My Company XXXXX BI Initiative 10.1.3.4.1′?
@nir
search the XML for version number.
To remove version number from OBIEE logon page, modify file
OracleBI\web\msgdb\messages\logoncontrolmessages.xml
by replacing the 2nd instance of
<sawm:param insert="2"/>
with
<!-- <sawm:param insert="2"/> -->
to comment it out.
