Is it possible to upload multiple RPD's in single BI server in OBIEE 12C ?

Vamsi Rampalli

Hi All ,

We would like to deploy multiple RPD's in one BI sever in OBIEE 12.2.1.3.0( Or any version of OBIEE 12C) .

Is it possible ? If yes please let us know the steps to deploy multiple RPD's in server.

No, that's not how the product works for now.

There has been something similar announced when 12c was about to be released, a concept of pluggable BI, but it isn't coded or available now.

So 1 OBIEE instance = 1 RPD for any OBIEE version (12c, 11g etc.)

You can of course merge your multiple RPD into a single one. If you adopted naming conventions you will manage to avoid naming conflicts, so the merge will be not to complicated probably.

Thank you Gianni for prompt response.

We heard it is possible in OBIEE 12C .

Could you please explain me why is not possible in OBIEE 12C.

Thanks

Still not sure what their one "BI pod" (I think that was their term) was suppoed to be in detail.

That said - @sureshreddy what do you mean by "deploy" exactly? Just have the RPD loaded by the server and accessible via ODBC?

Sorry Gianni. I didn't read your full comments that is the reason I asked you in my previous comments as explain me why is not possible.

Once again thank you so much

It just isn't supported, you can have only a single service instance.

I mean RPD loaded by the server.

Ok that's even less specific than what I suggested...to do what with it?
