What Is the Persistence Service?

The persistence service is a set of packages that support the storage and retrieval of objects in the BI Beans Catalog, not only so that you can save your work, but also so that you can share the work with others who have access to the Catalog.

The persistence service implements the Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI). JNDI is a standard interface for naming components that you want to save and to retrieve. The persistence service also extends JNDI to provide added functionality, such as the ability to move and copy items from one folder to another.

Where objects are stored

By default, BI Beans creates folders and stores components in the BI Beans Catalog. BI Beans installs a default storage manager implementation. If you have another storage management service, then you can use the persistence service with it, as long as the storage management service implements the oracle.dss.persistence.storagemanager.StorageManager interface.
