The built-in help for Catalog Manager CLI usage is not relevant to the version of OAS 2024

After upgrading to OAS 2024, we are trying use Catalog CLI (Doc ID 2724149.1) .

The information provided upon running the -help (./runcat.sh -help report -help) is not relevant to the OAS 2024 directory structure.

For example: the provided <sample RPD XML file> location is

"ORACLE_INSTANCE/tmp/OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent/coreapplication_obips1/rpd.xml"

But the above path is invalid in OAS 2024. Is this because OAS 2024 is saving the rpd and catalog in the RCU ?

In which case, how can we use Catalog manager CLI in OAS 2024 ?

Appreciate your help.

Following sample values can be substituted in the above examples:
<sample catalog path> "ORACLE_INSTANCE/bifoundation/OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent/coreapplication_obips1/catalog/paint"
<sample url> http://localhost:8080/analytics/saw.dll
<sample output file> "ORACLE_INSTANCE/tmp/OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent/coreapplication_obips1/report.txt"
<sample folder> "/shared/Sales" OR "/shared/Human Capital Management:/shared/Financials"
<sample privilege folder> "/system/privs"
<sample credentials file> "ORACLE_INSTANCE/tmp/OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent/coreapplication_obips1/catmancredentials.properties"
<sample XML Caption Directory> "ORACLE_INSTANCE/bifoundation/OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent/coreapplication_obips1/msgdb"
<sample RPD XML file> "ORACLE_INSTANCE/tmp/OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent/coreapplication_obips1/rpd.xml"
<sample JAZN file> "ORACLE_INSTANCE/tmp/OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent/coreapplication_obips1/jazn.xml"

Thanks.

Are you running the command from <Client tool install home folder>/bi/bitools/bin folder?

Thanks

The Catalog CLI is relevant to OAS 2024 just like it is relevant to OAC and OBIEE 12c. The Catalog Manager didn't change much, other than removing the GUI in OAS 2024, the rest is the same as it was for a number of years.

The command says it is just sample values, mostly because runcat.cmd is the same on the server and on a client install. It's up to you to adapt the values depending on where you are running it. But the help command says those are sample values, not default or real values. It is just to give you an example.

It's impossible for the help to give all the possible values based on each individual installation, and it's better to have a sample value than no sample at all. And those samples are the same, and are there from the very first OBIEE 12c release. I don't have a Catalog Manager for OBIEE 11g anymore, there are good chances many of those sample values were already there with the same exact value.

Are you trying to do something with runcat.cmd/.sh and it isn't working as expected?

By the way: if you want a GUI, just install the OAS 2023 Catalog Manager: it will work just fine with OAS 2024, but you still have a GUI.
