Creating a New Presentation Catalog


The following procedure explains how to create a new Presentation Catalog.

To create a new Presentation Catalog

  1. Stop the service for Oracle BI Presentation Services.

    NOTE:  When Oracle BI Presentation Services is installed on a Microsoft IIS Web server, the IIS Web server creates temporary files for its Web caching capability in a location specified by the Microsoft IIS installation. If the Oracle BI Server is stopped before the Oracle BI Presentation Services, these temporary files usually remain, consuming disk space.

  2. Specify a new location (one that does not exist already) for the Presentation Catalog by setting the CatalogPath element in the Oracle BI Presentation Services configuration file (instanceconfig.xml).

    For more information, read Changing the Name and Location of the Presentation Catalog.

  3. Make sure that the new location for the Presentation Catalog is empty.
  4. Restart the service for Oracle BI Presentation Services.
