Hi

Any mature software development practice should be using source control and automated deployments. Totally possible, and easy, with OBIEE, whether 11g or 12c.

I will say that even if in 11g the BI server was doing versioning it's always up to you, as developer or BI admin, to manage versioning of your own code independently. So already with 11g you were supposed to have your own versioning and this same versioning will avoid you issues in 12c as you have all your versions with logs of what has been added by who all the time.

It's not really the job of the BI server to do versioning (and you actually see it as the catalog isn't versioned at all).

So it's up to you to make sure you have working backups and versioning.
