Connecting to Catalog Manager in OBIEE 11g

While doing deployments in OBIEE catalog from different environment (like moving objects from DEV to UAT or PROD), we need to connect to the catalog manager in online mode.

To Connect to catalog manager: open catalog manager from Oracle Business Intellinge tool on start menu in Windows. For Unix you can launch the catalog manager directly from the server using the  ./runcat.sh if you have VNC setup or any Xwindows tool.

This will open the catalog manager, now at thge top menu click file --> open catalog manager. This will pop up user information applet.

Type: online mode
URL: http://hostname:9704/analytics/saw.dll
User: biadmin
password:xxxxxx

Select locale as english and click ok. This takes you in and you can perform different functions like archive objects or to deploy unarchive objects that have been archived from another environment.

The other way to access the same functionality over the web is to login to analytics server and the click catalog near the home link on the top right corner.
