How to Modify OBIEE Publishing Repository path?

Issue Description:

- Unable to perform RPD deployment after modifying the RPD Publishing Directory in EM console.
- Error thrown by EM console says something like "Not allowed to make this directory change"


Resolution:

There are 2 files which might require correction to fix this issue.
- Navigate to <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/config/fmwconfig directory.
- Open the biee-domain.xml file and check for the values of the repositorySharedLocation. This will be present in the ServerOptions tag. This value needs to be the same as what you are trying to enter in the weblogic em console.

- Navigate to <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/instances/instance1/config/OracleBIServerComponent/coreapplication_obis1 directory.
- Open the NQSConfig.INI file and check for the value of REPOSITORY_PUBLISHING_DIRECTORY. This value should be the same as what you are trying to enter in the weblogic em console.

If the above mentioned values are incorrect in any othe 2 files, make the changes and re-start all the services. After the service re-start is completed, try to make the change in the EM console now. This should have fixed the issue.
