OBIEE 11g with two RPD? Can we do that?

I get this question asked frequently, that can we deploy two RPDs to OBIEE servers?

Straight answer to that is no we cannot, however the workaround is to build two BI stacks if there is a need. For example, HR and Finance teams might have different RPD for security reasons. In most of these cases, there will also be a need to have separate development or maintenance teams. Thats why two BI stacks will make sense. In rest of the cases, a multi user development env (MUD) might be enough.
