buildWebCatalog

Builds a deployment artifact that contains WebCatalog objects.

All WebCatalog objects are supported for both full and package-based deployments. If package-based deployment is used, all objects are populated into a single object type called WebCatalog Objects, and file extensions are added to map to the underlying OTBI object type (e.g. Folder, Data Model, Analysis, Report, etc).

Source Control

  • Full deployment mode - objects are downloaded from a source OBI server.

  • Package-based deployment mode - objects can be sourced from either a source OBI server or SCM instance.

Endpoint Tip

This operation uses HTTP operations to communicate remotely to the OTBI server, and therefore, can be executed on any endpoint (including LOCALHOST).

Artifacts

This operation produces an archive file of the object specified in the OTBI WebCatalog Object Path 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.
