Oracle Fusion OTBI (Transactional BI) and BI Publisher - Integrated Git Version Control

Currently, Oracle Fusion OTBI (Transactional BI) and BI Publisher lack a native version control system or DevOps pipeline integration.
To promote analytics content (reports, dashboards, data models) across environments (Dev → Test → Prod), customers must rely on manual export/import of .catalog files.

This leads to:

  • Limited traceability (no commit history, diffs, or rollback)
  • Risk of human error during migrations
  • Uncontrolled direct edits in Production
  • No automated approval or review workflow
  • Lack of alignment with modern DevOps and GitOps practices

Enhancement Request to introduce a “Fusion Analytics DevOps Extension” a native integration layer that provides

  • Allow OTBI and BI Publisher objects (reports, dashboards, data models) to be stored as XML/JSON definitions instead of binary .catalog files.
  • Enable direct check-in / check-out from the OTBI web UI to a configured Git repository (GitHub, GitLab, OCI Code Repo, etc.).
  • Include metadata in commits (object name, owner, timestamp, change summary).
  • Automatically version content in Git when saved in OTBI.
