How to Use Obiee Admin Tool For Mac

Obiee Admin Tool is a Windows application that allows you to create and edit repositories for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE). However, if you are a Mac user, you may wonder how you can use this tool on your device. Fortunately, there are some options available for you to run Obiee Admin Tool on Mac.

One option is to use a virtual machine software such as Parallels Desktop, VMware Fusion, or VirtualBox. These programs allow you to create a virtual Windows environment on your Mac, where you can install and run Obiee Admin Tool as well as other Windows applications. You will need a valid Windows license and installation media to set up a virtual machine.

Another option is to use a remote desktop software such as Microsoft Remote Desktop, TeamViewer, or VNC. These programs allow you to access a Windows computer from your Mac, where you can run Obiee Admin Tool as well as other Windows applications. You will need a Windows computer that is connected to the same network as your Mac or accessible via the internet.

Both options have their advantages and disadvantages. Using a virtual machine gives you more control and flexibility over your Windows environment, but it also consumes more resources and disk space on your Mac. Using a remote desktop gives you less control and flexibility over your Windows environment, but it also consumes less resources and disk space on your Mac.

Regardless of which option you choose, you will be able to use Obiee Admin Tool for Mac and perform various tasks such as creating and editing repositories, importing metadata, defining joins and hierarchies, setting security and caching policies, testing and validating queries, and deploying repositories to the OBIEE server.
