Metadata Preload Automation<\/h2>\n

BI Connector accelerates search and loading of OBIEE reports by pre-loading and storing metadata in its cache.\u00a0 Pre-loading was a manual task before v3.3.\u00a0 Starting version 3.3, users and server administrators can schedule automatic metadata refresh as per their business needs.\u00a0 Users can\u00a0still manually pre-load metadata for newly added OBIEE reports.<\/p>\n
