Chapter 13. Using the BI Admin Change Management Utilities

We have covered the fundamental techniques of OBIEE development, and through that process we have also studied the fundamental tools needed for OBIEE development. With this knowledge in hand, we can go over some of the other utilities in the Administration tool. These facilities are less utilized, but they can aid and smooth the development process.

Previously, we have carried out all of the tutorials and development examples as a lone developer, but in larger projects we may have a group of developers accessing and modifying the same RPD. To this end, the OBIEE Administration tool provides the ability to merge multiple versions of an RPD as well as functionality for groups to manage development on a sole repository (multiuser development).
