Builds a deployment artifact that contains WebCatalog objects.

In the case of the Datamodel, property replacement on variables and connection pool information is supported via a configuration file that should reside in an SCM repository. For more information on Property Replacement for OBIEE, see Datamodel OBI WebCataloag - DataModel Configuration File Setup.

Environment/Instance Properties
Property Name | Property Code | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
OBIEE Server Port | FDOBIEE_SERVER_PORT | Yes | The managed server port number for OBIEE.(e.g. 9502 or 9704) |
| OBIEE Server Host | FDOBIEE_SERVER_HOST | Yes | The managed server host name for OBIEE. |
| OBIEE Server User | FDOBIEE_USER | Yes | The user to log into OBIEE. Should have sufficient privileges to move and upload data. |
| OBIEE Server Password | FDOBIEE_PASSWORD | Yes | The password for the user to login to OBIEE. |
| Oracle BI Domain Path | FD_ORACLE_BI_DOMAIN | Yes | The oracle BI domain home. (e.g. |
| Oracle Middleware Home (MW_HOME) | FD_ORACLE_MW_HOME | Yes | The oracle middleware home (which has subfolders such as oracle_common, wlserver, coherence*, etc.) (e.g. /u01/oracle/products/fmw) |
Project Properties
Property Name | Property Code | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| OBIEE WebCat Object Path | FDOBIEE_OBJECT_PATH | Yes | The WebCatalog path to be recursively exported. Separate folders with a forward slash (/). The value must be the same during the build and deploy, so after changing the value, please do not deploy any old builds. You probably want to set it to "/shared" or "/system" if you are populating the web catalog. |
Inputs
Input Name | Input Code | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Copy Object Permissions | FDOBIEE_INP_COPY_PERMISSIONS | Yes | Copy object with current permissions. If false, parent folder permissions in deploy environment will be used. |
| Recursive WebCat Object Build | FDOBIEE_INP_RECURSIVE_CAT_BUILD | Yes | Boolean to indicate if a recursive build should be performed for web catalog objects. If false, no objects under the catalog path will be exported. This will only be set to false in rare circumstances. Even if you only wish to export a single WebCatalog object, chances are that object has other data underneath it, that are required for the object to run, that would justify a recursive export. |
Outputs
Output Name | Required | Description |

Artifacts
This operation produces an archive file of the object specified in the OBIEE WebCatalog Object Path if the project is configured for full deployments. If the project is configured for partial deployments, then the artifact will be a zipped directory containing the archive files for each built object. The zip/archive files are suitable for the deploy operation.
Endpoint Selection
This operation delegates endpoint selection to the workflow developer. The workflow editor will default the selection to "All", which selects all available endpoints associated to the environment instance. Selecting a specific resource will result in selection of endpoints associated to the environment instance which have that resource defined.
Endpoint Execution
This operation delegates endpoint execution to the workflow developer. The workflow editor will default to "Any", which will execute on any one of the selected endpoints, which will be randomly picked from selected endpoints or a specific endpoint where previous step may have executed. Changing this value to "All" to will result in execution on all selected endpoints.
