3.1 Configuring Oracle Business Intelligence

Oracle recommends using Fusion Middleware Control to configure Oracle Business Intelligence. However, if configuration settings cannot be changed using this method, then you can use the Oracle BI Systems Management API or the Fusion Middleware Control MBean Browser. You can also manually edit configuration files if you take the appropriate precautions. Table 3–1 describes the methods that you can use for configuring Oracle Business Intelligence. All the methods result in changes being made in one or more configuration files. 3-2 System Administrators Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition
