About Catalog Manager

Catalog Manager is a tool that lets you perform online and offline management of Presentation Catalogs. It should be installed on a secure machine accessible only to Oracle Business Intelligence administrators.

You can use Catalog Manager to:

• Manage Presentation Catalog items (that is, folders, links, and objects [requests, filters, prompts, dashboards, and so on]). For example, you can rename and delete items, and move and copy items within and between Presentation Catalogs.
• View and edit Presentation Catalog objects in Extensible Markup Language (XML).
• Preview objects, such as requests and prompts.
• Search for and replace Presentation Catalog text.
• Search for Presentation Catalog items.
• Create reports to display Presentation Catalog data.
• Localize Presentation Catalog captions.
• Upgrade Presentation Catalogs to new versions without losing any site-specific changes and enhancements.

NOTE:  Many of the operations that you can perform in Catalog Manager, can also be performed through the Manage BI Catalog activity in Oracle BI Presentation Services Administration.
