The MetadataManager, through the persistence service, can save and retrieve components that implement the Persistable
interface. The Persistable
interface is defined in the oracle.dss.util.persistence
package.
The MetadataManager also provides access to OLAP data and metadata obtained
from the Oracle Database . Objects that represent OLAP metadata are defined
in the oracle.dss.metadatamanager.common
package. You cannot save
objects to the OLAP data source directly. However, through the MetadataManager,
you can save Selection objects and in the BI Beans Catalog. You can also save
custom measures in the BI Beans Catalog, through the CalcBuilder. The CalcBuilder
uses the MetadataManager to save the custom measure.
