Oracle BI Applications delivers a full RPD file with projects for all the BI Applications modules. This full RPD is deployed to the BI Server. You can trim the RPD so that it includes only the projects that are relevant to your deployment. Although optional, trimming the RPD makes the BI Server startup process faster and also makes patching quicker.
Note:
The RPD should not be trimmed for on-premises Fusion Applications sources. The full RPD is required for ETL in these environments.The steps for trimming the RPD depend on the status of your deployment:
If the RPD has not been customized for your deployment: Extract the projects for the products that your organization has purchased. You don't need to perform a merge. See section Extracting Projects From Full RPD for instructions.
If the RPD has been customized for your deployment: Extract the applicable projects from the full (delivered) RPD, and, additionally, merge that RPD with your customized RPD. See Extracting Projects From Full RPD and Merging Repositories for instructions.
Use this procedure to extract projects from the full RPD. The end result of this process is a trimmed RPD.
