OBIEE Integration with Salesforce.com
- Part 1 Setting Up SFDC

- Web Tabs – A basic tab in Salesforce.com which will embed the OBIEE
- VisualForce Page – A custom page within any Salesforce.com page.
O, but wait, there’s more to configure within OBIEE before we continue. For OBIEE to be displayed on Salesforce.com, there are 2 requirements from Salesforce.com
- SSL Enabled – In OBIEE, enable SSL through Weblogic but I will not go through this. There are many resources in the web which will walk you through this.

- Enable iFrame in OBIEE – which is quite simple and I will go through this here.
