What is RCU in OBIEE 11g ?

The RCU or the Repository Creation Utility is a small application that comes with OBIEE 11g Installation files. The purpose of the RCU is to load the two Operational Metadata schemas for OBIEE Installation into an RDBMS system, 

  • BIPLATFORM Schema
  • MDS (Metadata Services) Schema
It basically runs a list of .SQL scripts that create new tables to store OBIEE operational metadata which will later be used by the Oracle BI 11g Instance. 

It makes life easier by running the table creation metadata so that user doesn't have to go through the pain of executing scripts in RDBMS one by one.
