Method 2: Using the Catalog Manager

Previous TopicNext TopicContents

Another option for upgrading the catalog is to use the OBI Catalog Manager. Catalog Manager lets you perform online and offline management of OBI Presentation Catalogs. You should install it on a secure computer that is accessible only to Oracle BI Administrators.

Using this method involves a copy and paste procedure for copying an object (folder, dashboard, or analysis) from the source catalog (test/sandbox) to the target catalog (production).

To copy and paste objects between catalogs using menus:

Note: Don't perform these steps if you plan to archive the catalog instead. See Method 1: Archiving the P6 Analytics Catalog.

  1. In Catalog Manager, open the catalog that will be used as the target catalog.
  2. Open another instance of Catalog Manager and open the catalog that contains the objects to copy (source catalog).

    Note: If necessary, reposition both instances of Catalog Manager on your screen so you can display the title bars of both Catalog Manager instances.

  3. In the source catalog, right-click the source object(s) and select Copy.
  4. In the target catalog, right-click at the point where you want to paste the source object and select Paste.
