Currently, Oracle Fusion OTBI (Transactional BI) and BI Publisher lack a native version control system or DevOps pipeline integration.
To promote analytics content (reports, dashboards, data models) across environments (Dev → Test → Prod), customers must rely on manual export/import of .catalog files.

This leads to:

• Limited traceability (no commit history, diffs, or rollback)
• Risk of human error during migrations
• Uncontrolled direct edits in Production
• No automated approval or review workflow
• Lack of alignment with modern DevOps and GitOps practices

Enhancement Request to introduce a “Fusion Analytics DevOps Extension” a native integration layer that provides

• Allow OTBI and BI Publisher objects (reports, dashboards, data models) to be stored as XML/JSON definitions instead of binary .catalog files.
• Enable direct check-in / check-out from the OTBI web UI to a configured Git repository (GitHub, GitLab, OCI Code Repo, etc.).
• Include metadata in commits (object name, owner, timestamp, change summary).
• Automatically version content in Git when saved in OTBI.
