Deploys any combination of WebCatalog objects to the target OAC environment.
@Since 9.0.0.5, it can also Deploy the RPD.
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 OAC server, and therefore, can be executed on any endpoint (including LOCALHOST).
Deploy operation now supports deleting WebCatalog items. To delete an item, in the Package Files tab, click the Action menu or Right click and toggle Delete option.
Note: Delete is not supported for Folder type items.

OAC Account |
| Yes | The OAC account includes essential properties such as the URL, Username, Password, and OAuth details for the OAC instance. Cloud account credentials are required for downloading or uploading catalog items. You can manage the OAC account via the Integrations > Cloud page. In FlexDeploy versions 9.0.0.2 or earlier, three separate properties (FDOAC_SERVER_HOST, FDOAC_USER, FDOAC_PASSWORD) were used instead of the OAC account. If you are upgrading from FlexDeploy 9.0.0.2 or earlier, the OAC cloud account will be automatically created from the target properties (URL, Username, Password). A separate cloud account will be created for each target. See Configuring OAC Cloud Account for additional details. |

Artifacts
This operation consumes the artifacts produced from the buildWebCatalog 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.
