deployWebCatalog (OAC)
- Karl Henselin
- Muthu Sankaralingam
Deploys any combination of WebCatalog objects to the target OAC 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 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.

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.

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.
