Hi Community,
We are trying to track changes made in the RPD over time — for example:
- What changes were made yesterday, in the past 30 days, or at any point in history
- Which objects were added/modified/deleted
- Details of the changes (logical models, joins, presentation layer, etc.)
- Ideally who made the changes and when
I saw in the Oracle documentation that the Administration Tool can be integrated with a source control system by saving the RPD as MDS XML documents and then checking those into SCM (Git/SVN/etc.) so the SCM history can be used for tracking. The docs describe this under “Using a Source Control Management System for Repository Development”.
However:
- Is this the only way or is there any other ways to track RPD changes over time?
- Is there any built-in audit/change history feature in OAS/OBIEE that can show version history without external SCM?
- Are there best practices for setting up and using SCM with RPD so we can easily answer questions like “what changed in the last month” or “what changed yesterday”?
- Any examples of how people use RPD version tracking other than GIT( Don't want to install open source)?
Here’s the Oracle doc reference I found:

Thanks in advance!
