Download, Install, and Start Oracle Analytics Client Tools

Download and install Oracle Analytics Client Tools to enable remote connections from reporting dashboards and analyses. And you can use Model Administration Tool (one of the client tools available for Microsoft Windows) to edit a semantic model (.rpd file) that contains a data source that isn't supported by Semantic Modeler.

You can install Oracle Analytics Client Tools on Windows or Linux platforms.
  • On Windows, the software pack installs the graphical user-interface version of Model Administration Tool, as well as command line utilities such as runcat.cmd (for catalog management).
  • On Linux, the software pack installs runcat.sh and datamodel.sh command line utilities.
