Can we change RPD location?

Question

I want to change OAS RPD location to a share storage for cluster testing

But like in https://community.oracle.com/tech/apps-infra/discussion/1107687/can-we-change-default-location-of-rpd , there's no document mention about this

So, are there anyway to do that?

Thanks

What's the point of randomly trying things in a product without first understand how it works?

OAS is not OBIEE 10g or 11g

The linked thread doesn't apply: you are on OAS, that thread was probably OBIEE 11g. So many things changed about how the RPD is used, manipulated and persisted.

You don't have to take my reply as valid if you don't want, that's why I linked a piece of documentation so you can read and make your own opinion.

In NQSConfig.INI i found the repository config and try to change the REPOSITORY_SHARED_LOCATION but it's not work

[REPOSITORY]

REPOSITORY_SHARED_LOCATION = "/u02/sharerpd/";

Star = liverpd.rpd, DEFAULT; # This Configuration setting is managed by Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control

The liverpd.rpd is found in $DOMAIN_HOME/tmp/ssi/datamodel/customizations/ , but after remove and restart the liverpd.rpd is create again automatically

At the best you can move the SDD, and that's documented: https://docs.oracle.com/en/middleware/bi/analytics-server/administer-oas/change-singleton-data-directory-sdd.html
