Deploys any combination of WebCatalog objects to the target OTBI environment. Objects will be deployed at the same path they were built from, e.g. if a report was built from /shared/Custom/Sample Lite/Reports, it will also be deployed to the same location on the target server.
Endpoint Tip
This operation uses HTTP operations to communicate remotely to the OTBI server, and therefore, can be executed on any endpoint (including LOCALHOST).

OTBI WebCat Object Path |
| No | The WebCatalog path to import the objects of the build artifact into. The property is shared with the build operation and must not be changed between build and deployment execution. Note: In case of package deployments, the import path is considered from the package file path. |
Analytics WSDL Path |
| No | The path to the analytics WSDL. We don’t recommend changing this option unless the OTBI instance you are using has a different path to the analytics WSDL. Default value - /analytics-ws/saw.dll/wsdl/v12 |
Backup files prior to deploy |

Troubleshooting
If you get the error W access denied for user … to path it may mean that the folder you are deploying to doesn’t exist, rather than that you don’t have permission to it.
Artifacts
This operation consumes the artifacts produced from the obiBuild 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.
