3 Setting Up and Using the Multiuser Development Environment

This chapter explains how to set up and use the multiuser development environment in Oracle Business Intelligence, including defining projects, setting up the multiuser development directory, checking out and publishing changes to projects, and merging metadata.

Multiuser development (MUD) provides a mechanism for concurrent development on overlapping code bases. Oracle Business Intelligence provides a MUD environment that manages subsets of metadata, in addition to multiple users, by providing a built-in versioning system for repository development.
