downloadWebCatalog (OAC)

Extracts WebCatalog objects from an OAC server to the file system.  This operation can be used from a utility workflow, which can also be augmented to sync the files to a source control management system (such as Git or Subversion). This allows the OAC project which is used for build and deployment to source from a source code repository rather than directly from a development instance of OAC.

Endpoint Tip

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

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 with the target. Selecting a specific resource will result in the selection of endpoints associated with 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 the previous step may have been executed. Changing this value to "All" will result in execution on all selected endpoints.
