What is the difference between Archiving and Downloading BI objects?

Peter Toth

What is the difference between .catalog and .xdmz/.xdoz BI objects, the archive and download options thru OTBI (/analytics) and Oracle Analytics Publisher (/xmlpserver)? I understand the .xdmz/.xdoz objects can be unzipped and read thru xml format, what about the .catalog format? Both are recommended alternatives for exporting BI objects or one of them is preferred over the other?

Can you also specifically cover Support, EOL and Security perspectives?

Thanks, Peter.

Hope this help.

Thank you.

Peter,

Please do not double post. It's a unique forum, double posting in multiple categories is not going to help you much, but will leave around lot of abandoned threads.
