We are looking for option to work directly with UDML files without converting it to RPD. It avoids one additional step.

    Welcome to the forum, a first thing important to know here is that nobody knows what you have in your mind and therefore the more time you invest in writing a full thread with some context information (product name + version), the more chances to have a valid reply.

    Are you talking about MDS XML ? It's fully supported by the Admin tool for quite a long time.

    The conversion between that and a RPD file is exactly 1 command call, and it can be automated by calling a script doing the conversion to/from MDS XML and the other operations you need on the RPD (probably you are thinking at upload and download).

    Still, you aren't really even asking a question but stating you are looking at it, so .... let us know your findings after looking at it...

    1. I am talking about Universal Database Markup Language (UDML).
    2. I need to have OAC client tools installed for conversion which we want avoid this dependency if possible,
    3. Our idea is, create udml files and open it directly in OAC model admin tool without converting it to RPD.

    The only tools in OBIEE/OA converting to and from UDML are scripts coming with the server or the client tools, you will not really skip having one or the other.

    And you can't open UDML directly with anything, all you can do is call the script to convert/apply your UDML and then work with a RPD or the MDS XML version of it.

    Or wait June (maybe) for cloud and hopefully some other time later for OAS and use the new JSON files.
