Display all RPD variables on a dashboard (UI)

This lists details of all repository variables within the current running BI Server metadata repository. BI Server query metadata procedures are used to gather this information on the fly.

Some configuration is needed to display all the RPD variables on UI. This feature is very helpful for developers as well as users to understand what variables to use while reporting. 

1. “analyticsRes” is an application deployed in OBIEE where all the skins and styles reside.  The path looks like this, which may differ based on your installed location:        /app/oracle/biee/instances/instance1/bifoundation/OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent/coreapplication_obips1/analyticsRes                                                                                                                                                                          
2. Create the folder structure under analyticsRes as: /app/oracle/biee/instances/instance1/bifoundation/OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent/coreapplication_obips1/analyticsRes/CustomApp/customjs                                                                                           
3. Under  ' customjs' folder create a file ' listRepVars.js’. Write the following code in the file and save the file with extension '.js':
