Question on BI Publisher
Hello, can you please let me know what is the different between BI Publisher and OBIEE?
Since BIP Client tool has to install on client PC, can we use OBIEE to view the reports instead?
Thanks

BI Publisher is embedded into OBIEE.
BI Publisher is a different kind of tool, mainly used for pixel-perfect-reporting. BI Publisher reports can be of various kind, either generated as web pages visible online from inside OBIEE or as generated files (or both).

I'm not 100% what you call the BIP client, I know about BI Publisher Desktop which is a tool mainly to build Publisher reports templates in Office to generate Word documents etc.
But it's correct: if you have OBIEE you have a fully working BI Publisher inside it, no need to install anything else to get started. Create a model, create a report, done.

Thanks, but OBIEE can not see the real time data correct? for example, if we want to see the audit report in real time. thanks

OBIEE can see everything you connect it to.
If you connect it to a datasource with real time data, OBIEE will see real time data.
OBIEE isn't a database, it doesn't store data locally, therefore it sees and uses what the sources you connect provide. (Of course don't enable cache and expect to see real time data as it obviously is a contradictory approach.)
