Updating the RPD file

Previous TopicNext TopicContents

You must update the RPD file when you add new columns. This also applies to Dynamic codes and UDFs when they've exceeded the default limit. The configuration utility provides the Dynamic codes' definition, scope (activity codes only), regular expression (usually, this is the name of the code), name (the display name for the code name label in OBI), and description (the display name for the code value label in OBI). See Configuring Codes for Star and Configuring User Defined Fields for Star for more information.

You have to edit the .rpd file to ensure your dynamic codes are configured correctly.

To edit the OraclePrimaveraAnalytics.rpd to include any new columns:

  1. Edit the OraclePrimaveraAnalytics.rpd using the OBI Administration Tool.
  2. Add the columns to each layer of the RPD file (Physical, Business Model and Mapping and Presentation).

    See the Oracle Fusion Middleware Metadata Repository Builder's Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition for information on adding to the physical, logical, and presentation layer.

    Note: Be sure to follow the entry values naming convention (adjusting only the bucket number) used for the pre-existing code (1-20) bucket columns in each layer.

Tips

See the OBI documentation for additional information on editing the RPD file.
