What the MetadataManager Can Save and Retrieve

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.
