    Under Shared Folders I see folders that we created, but none of the seeded folders.

    You could try downloading the biapps zip from Oracle software cloud and copying the catalog out of that and deploying it.  It would probably be advisble to download/create a new OBIEE VM to do this with.

    So when you go into the catalog in OBIEE, do you see the folder "Procurement"  with a "Purchasing" sub-folder? Have you tried up upgrade the catalog from the Administration page? Have you refreshed the GUIDs?

    I do not see a procurement folder nor a purchasing sub-folder.  I've confirmed with my coworker that our catalog is pointing to a different folder structure.  All our folders are in:

    $BI_HOME/instances/instance1/bifoundation/OracleBIServerComponent/coreapplication_obis1/repository/root/shared

    While all the seeded content is in:

    $BI_HOME/instances/instance1/bifoundation/OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent/coreapplication_obips1/catalog/OracleBIApps/root/shared

    Can we move folders from one directory to the other?

    $BI_HOME/instances/instance1/bifoundation/OracleBIServerComponent/coreapplication_obis1/repository/root/shared

    ^ home for RPD

    $BI_HOME/instances/instance1/bifoundation/OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent/coreapplication_obips1/catalog/OracleBIApps/root/shared

    ^ home for web cat ...

    All our custom folders are below the RPD in the shared part of that path.

    As Thomas Dodds points out - your catalog folder should point to the presentation services folder and RPD to the server folder. If you have a setup of anything different than that then it is wrong.

    I appreciate everyone telling me that the setup is wrong.  I'd like to correct that - does anyone have suggestions on how I should go about doing that.

    Thanks in advance,

    Your company catalog residing in the RPD home should be merged with your OBI Apps catalog and then your Enterprise Manager configuration should be set to point to the default/correct home for the Web Catalog.  Then restart your services.

    I recommend doing this on a copy of one of your development machines' web catalogs to perfect it before applying it to your DEV/QA/PROD instances.

    How to merge web catalog objects?

    Using Catalog Manager ...

    1. Archive your custom/company web catalog objects
    2. Unarchive them into the OBIA web catalog
