Custom Button or Link in OBIEE Analytics Header

Create an xml file somewhere in the middleware home:

eg: "<middleware_home>/obieecustomLinks/customlinks.xml"

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<customLinks xmlns="com.siebel.analytics.web/customlinks/v1">
<link id="l5" name="<name of the tag>" description="<any description>" src="<copy paste the dashboard page url or provide any custom url>" target="self">
   <locations>
      <location name="header" insertBefore="home" />
   </locations>
</link>
</customLinks>

Add the below tags into instanceconfig.xml file:

<CustomLinks>
      <Enabled>true</Enabled>
      <filePath><middleware_home>/obieecustomLinks/customlinks.xml</filePath>
</CustomLinks>

You see the custom link is now available on the left side of home.
