Merging OBIEE 12c .RPD binary files directly in Git

Let's talk about OBIEE concurrent development!Enabling concurrent development for OBIEE RPD is a recurring theme in OBIEE blogs. Full support for RPD development with Gitflow has long since been part of the Rittman Mead's BI Developer Toolkit and is described in great detail in Minesh's blog post. What you

MDS XML versus MUDE Part 4: Simple Multi-Branch Development

After getting our MDS XML repository ready for development in the last post, I am ready to demonstrate what multi-user development without MUDE would look like using Git as our version control system (VCS). Let me apologize for the slightly different username and directory structure in these samples versus the

MDS XML versus MUDE Part 3: Configuring MDS XML with Git

In the previous installment of this series, I gave an overview of MUDE (multi-user development environment), and described it's strengths and weaknesses, hopefully presenting a fair assessment on both sides. For a recap, here are three properties that I think any metadata layer development (and really... any development period) should
