B.2 About Translating Presentation Services Strings
The translations for such Presentation Services objects as report and page names are
stored in the xxxCaptions.xml files available in the ORACLE_
HOME\biapps\catalog\res\web\l_<Language Abbreviation>\Captions
directories. In multiple language deployment mode, if you add any additional
Presentation Services objects, such as reports and new dashboard pages, you also need
to add the appropriate translations. Add these translations using the Catalog Manager
tool. For more information on using this utility, see Oracle Business Intelligence
Presentation Services Administration Guide.
B.3 Changing the Default Currency in Analytics Applications
In Oracle Business Intelligence Applications, you may see a dollar sign used as the
default symbol when amounts of money are displayed. In order to change this
behavior, you must edit the currencies.xml file using the following procedure. The
currencies.xml file is located in the following directories:
Windows:
ORACLE_HOME\bifoundation\web\display\currencies.xml
UNIX:
ORACLE_HOME/bifoundation/web/display/currencies.xml
To change the default currency in Analytics Applications
1.
In a text editor, open the currencies.xml file.
2.
Look for the currency tag for the warehouse default (tag="int:wrhs"):
<Currency tag="int:wrhs" type="international" symbol="$" format="$#" digits="2"
displayMessage="kmsgCurrencySiebelWarehouse">
<negative tag="minus" format="-$#" />
</Currency>
3.
Replace the symbol, format, digits and negative information in the warehouse
default with the information from the currency tag you want to use as the default.
For example, if you want the Japanese Yen to be the default, replace the contents of
the warehouse default currency tag with the values from the Japanese currency tag
(tag="loc:ja-JP"):
<Currency tag="loc:ja-JP" type="local" symbol="¥" locale="ja-JP" format="$#"
digits="0">
<negative tag="minus" format="-$#" />
</Currency>
