Custom link to DV (Self Service) from Classic OAC / OAS menu

 In the header of Classic Analytics in OAC/OAS customers often look for a link to the Self Service Analytics (often referred as DV). 

From this

To this

We can easily achieve it. Using the Console in OAC/OAS.

In OAC Self Service interface select the Console Menu:

There select System Settings

 

There update the Custom Links XML

The simple version is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<customLinks xmlns="com.siebel.analytics.web/customlinks/v1">
    <link id="1" name="DV" description="Self Service" src="https://YOUR_SERVER_NAME/ui/dv/" target="blank" >
        <locations>
            <location name="header" insertBefore="catalog"/>
        </locations>
    </link>
</customLinks>

Replace the YOUR_SERVER_NAME to the one relevant to you.

The XML can be enhanced with icons (for example iconSmall="common/info_ena.png" after the target="blank" parameter) or set for specific privileges (adding <privilege> block)... or placed in different locations (change the insertBefore value)... Other links can be added with additional link blocks with unique ids...

After the settings update, Restart the server is required.
