deployWebCatalog

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).

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

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.

Troubleshooting

If you get the error W access denied for user … to path it may mean that the folder you are deploying to doesn’t exist, rather than that you don’t have permission to it.

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.
