Hi Deepak,
ReplyDeleteI found this post very useful. I also wanted to know how to create a brand new web catalog to be used along with my rpd .
One way I tried was by copying the contents of default Catalog like SampleAppLite to my new catalog folder "MyNewCatalog" and modifying them. But this is very tedious.
Is there some easier and better way where I can create a brand new web catalog to be used along with a new rpd that I would like to upload in OBIEE 11g?
I followed the steps you have laid out...it worked...awesome and thanks.
ReplyDeleteQuick question:
What is the easiest way to migrate a RPD and a catalog from one 11g environment to another.
I did the following steps.. let me know if there is a better way...
After setting up the empty catalog... I archived the shared folders (setup at SA group level) from the source development server and unarchived it into the new server. It worked great for shared folders... not sure if this will work for user folder as well...
It will be very useful if I can migrate the whole Catalog including the user folders...
Our setup is, we have multiple server for development we start with default RPD, and then configure the new server with AD auth setup etc. Then I need to move all the changes from one server to another including the RPD and the catalog contents.
This is how we plan to setup production also.
Thanks
