Publishing a repository enables the Oracle BI Server to load the repository into memory upon start-up and makes the repository available for queries.
When you upload a repository file for publishing, you provide the name and location of the repository to upload and the current repository password.
The published repository is available to all Oracle BI Server clients, not just to Oracle BI Presentation Services
Publish repository in distributed mode or shared mode:
· In distributed mode, each Oracle BI Server instance loads the repository from its default local directory. Repositories uploaded through Fusion Middleware Control are uploaded to each default local directory. Any changes made to the repository using the Administration Tool affect only the Oracle BI Server component that is associated with the changed repository file.
· In shared mode, each Oracle BI Server instance loads the repository from the shared network location designated as the repository publishing directory. Note that repositories uploaded through Fusion Middleware Control are uploaded to both the shared location and the default local directory for each Oracle BI Server. You typically publish the repository in shared mode when you have multiple Oracle BI Server components in your deployment.
Like the Oracle BI repository, the Oracle BI Presentation Catalog can be published in shared mode, or distributed mode. Each Presentation Services instance loads the Oracle BI Presentation Catalog from the catalog location specified in Fusion Middleware Control.
