Property
| Description
|
---|---|
Agent URL
| Host name and port number of the Metadata Manager Agent. You can use the Metadata Manager Agent installed on any machine.
|
Source system version
| Name of the metadata source. You cannot edit this field.
|
Always use latest source files
| Uses the metadata source file in the location you provide each time you load the resource. If you enable this option, the path to the file must include an absolute path that is accessible from the Metadata Manager Agent machine. If you disable this option, Metadata Manager copies the metadata source file to the Metadata Manager application directory when you finish configuring the resource. Each time you load the resource, Metadata Manager uses the copied metadata source file in the Metadata Manager application directory.
|
Version
| Version of OBIEE. Select a version or configure Metadata Manager to detect the version.
Default is auto detect.
|
Server URL
| URL of the Presentation Server. Use the following format:
|
Login user
| User name for the Presentation Server.
Verify that the user has the appropriate permissions to access the objects you want to import.
|
Login password
| Password for the Presentation Server user name.
|
Variable values file
| Path to the file that contains the variable values used in a repository RPD file.
A repository RPD file might use variables to parameterize SQL statements. The variables values file contains the variable name and values used in the repository file.
Variable names are not case sensitive and are trimmed of all leading and trailing spaces.
|
Optimize for large models
| Specifies whether to import a subset of metadata or all metadata when you load the resource. You might want to import a subset of metadata when the metadata source file is large, for example, when the file size exceeds 600 MB.
Specify one of the following values:
Default is true.
|
Incremental import
| Load changes since the previous resource load or load complete metadata. Specify one of the following values:
Defauult is true.
|
Multiple threads
| Number of worker threads that the Metadata Manager Agent uses to extract metadata asynchronously. Leave blank or enter a positive integer value.
If blank, the Metadata Manager Agent calculates the number of worker threads. The Metadata Manager Agent allocates between one and six threads based on the JVM architecture and the number of available CPU cores on the machine that runs the Metadata Manager Agent. If you specify a value that is not valid, the Metadata Manager Agent allocates one worker thread.
Reduce the number of worker threads if the Metadata Manger Agent generates out of memory errors when it extracts metadata. You can increase the number of worker threads if the machine that runs the Metadata Manager Agent has a large amount of available memory, for example, 10 GB or more. However, if you specify too many worker threads, performance can decrease.
Default is blank.
|
Miscellaneous
| Allows you to specify miscellaneous options in the following format:
-<option> <value>
Use this property to specify the following options:
|
Auto assign connections
| Metadata Manager configures connection assignments to relational database resource types during the resource load. If you disable this option, you must configure connection assignments in the resource properties after you create the resource.
|
File
| The OBIEE repository file in XML or UDML format.
You export the repository from the Oracle BI Administration tool to an RPD file. For OBIEE 10g resources, convert the RPD file as an UDML file. For OBIEE 11g resource, convert the RPD file as an XML file.
|
Repository subset
| Folder path in the Presentation Server that contains the reports that you want to extract. Separate multiple values with a semicolon (;).
Use " / " to indicate the root repository path, use
/shared to indicate the shared repository path, or use
/users/<user_name>/<folder_name> to indicate the user's folder path.
For example:
/shared/Financials;/shared/Human Resources;/shared/Procurement and Spend
Default is “ / ”.
