Should The OBIEE 11g Catalog Manager Be Able To Open On Linux / Unix?

This applies to OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.3) and greater versions. Start the Catalog Manager via the following commands:

Using the command line, change to the following directory:

ORACLE_INSTANCE\bifoundation\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreapplication_obipsn\catalogmanager

then run the appropriate script:
runcat.cmd (on Windows)

runcat.sh (on UNIX)

Currently, the Catalog Manager gui will not run on other Unix environments (i.e. AIX, Solaris, HP-UX) due to plugin limitations.  It will however run in "light" or command-line mode.

See
./runcat.sh -help
for more information.

For more help on any one of these commands, please enter:

runcat.cmd/runcat.sh -cmd <command> -help
