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).

Description

OTBI WebCat Object Path

FDOTBI_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

FDOTBI_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

Inputs

Input Name	Input Code	Required	Description

Input Name	Input Code	Required	Description
Copy Object Permissions	`FDOTBI_INP_COPY_PERMISSIONS`	Yes	Upload object with exported permissions. If false, parent folder permissions in deploy environment will be used.
Overwrite Object	`FDOTBI_INP_OVERWRITE_OBJECT`	Yes	If object already exists in deployment environment, should it be overwritten with this one.
Deploy Objects In Async Mode	`FDOTBI_INP_ASYNC_MODE`	Yes	When `FDOTBI_INP_ASYNC_MODE` is enabled, all objects are deployed in asynchronous mode else deploy in synchronous mode. This is useful for large object, where timeout errors can occur around the 4 MB file size threshold. Default Value: true
Async API Timeout	`FDOTBI_INP_ASYNC_TIMEOUT`	Yes	The maximum number of seconds to wait for unarchive process. Defaults to 1200 seconds (20 minutes). (Integer) Note: This option is only considered when the `FDOTBI_INP_ASYNC_MODE` is checked.
Update Last Modified	`FDOTBI_INP_UPDATE_LAST_MODIFIED`	No	If checked, last modified will be updated to current time on web catalog item. If Keep Timestamps is checked on build then it may make sense to not check this. (Boolean)

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.
