Builds a deployment object artifact that contains any combination of WebCatalog objects or the OBI Repository file(RPD).In full deployment mode, the artifacts are downloaded from a source OBI server. In Partial mode, they can be sourced from either an OBI server or SCM instance.
All WebCatalog objects and the RPD are supported for both full and partial package-based deployments. If partial package-based deployment is used, for Oracle BI project type (Oracle Business Intelligence project type in pre-5.5.0.1) each of the WebCatalog files will be placed into one of the following buckets:types.

All files for the Oracle BI 2.0 project type are categorized into a single type:
WebCatalog
In the case of the RPD and DataModelsDatamodel, property replacement on variables and connection pool information is supported via a configuration file that should reside in an SCM repository. For For more information on Property Replacement for OBIEE, see RPD Configuration File Setup and Datamodel Configuration File Setup. Note that if you want to provide a config file for both the RPD and DataModels and deploy both at the same time using partial deploy, the two configurations should reside in one common file which is specified on the obiDeploy input Config OBI WebCatalog - DataModel Configuration File.

Artifacts
This operation produces an archive file of the object specified in the OBIEE

if the project is configured for full deployments. If the project is configured for
...
package-based 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
...
Target. Selecting a specific resource will result in selection of endpoints associated to the
...
Target 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.
