Deploys any combination of WebCatalog objects to the target OBIEE environment. Objects will be deployed at the same path they were built from, e.g. if a report was built from /shared/Sample Lite/Reports, it will also be deployed to the same location on the target server.

In case of DataModel, property replacement on data sources will occur if the Config File Input is specified. For more information on Property Replacement for OBIEE, see OBI WebCatalog - DataModel Configuration File.

When deploying to 12C, it may not be necessary to specify the replacement values as OBI 12c takes care of the replacement for you in the target environment. If deploying to a new environment, it would be helpful. If your changes don't seem to be working in 12C, verify that the override files contain the correct data. They will override the values that FlexDeploy uses.

Required

Description

OBIEE WebCat Object Path

FDOBIEE_OBJECT_PATH

No

The WebCatalog path to be exported. Separate folders with a forward slash (/).

The value must be the same during the build and deploy, so if it is desired to change the value, please perform a new build.

Inputs

Input Name

Input Code

Required

Description

Copy Object Permissions

FDOBIEE_INP_COPY_PERMISSIONS

Yes

Upload object with exported permissions. If false, parent folder permissions in deploy environment will be used.

Overwrite Object FDOBIEE_INP_OVERWRITE_OBJECT Yes If object already exists in deployment environment, should it be overwritten with this one.

Config File

FDOBIEE_INP_CONFIG_FILE

No

Config file name for DataModel property replacement. Config file can be absolute path or relative to artifacts folder. If you are using config file from temp folder, then use FD_TEMP_DIR variable to indicate absolute path (using groovy expression for input).

You can either

Save config file during build operation as artifact, or
Extract it from SCM during deploy workflow or
Use absolute path to location on server. (not recommended as it requires manual setup on server)

See OBI WebCatalog - DataModel Configuration File for details.

Outputs

Output Name	Required	Description

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 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.
