Step 3: Testing the Downloading of an Application

You and disconnected users can download a disconnected application from Oracle BI Server using Oracle BI Disconnected Analytics Application Manager. This section contains general instructions. For more information, see Oracle Business Intelligence Disconnected Analytics Online Help.

NOTE:  At this time, downloading and synchronization is a one-way process only. You can download data from the Oracle BI Server database but you cannot upload data from the disconnected repository on a laptop to an Oracle BI Server database.

To test downloading a disconnected application

1. Identify a machine on which you will test.
2. Install Oracle BI Disconnected Analytics on this machine using the installation wizard or the response file that you created in Step 1: Creating and Testing Silent Installation for Oracle BI Disconnected Analytics.
3. Start the Oracle BI Disconnected Analytics Application Manager by choosing Start > Programs > Oracle Business Intelligence > Oracle BI Disconnected Analytics Application Manager.
4. In the Oracle BI Disconnected Analytics Application Manager, click Get Server Info to begin the download of the application.

To test downloading data to a disconnected database

1. From the machine on which you downloaded the application, open Oracle BI Interactive Dashboards on the network and click the More Products link, then the Disconnected Analytics link.

   The disconnected applications that have been deployed appear.

2. Click Update Data.
3. In the File Download dialog box, click Open.
4. In the Oracle BI Disconnected Analytics Application Manager, you can download applications and data.

NOTE:  Oracle BI Disconnected Analytics Application Manager bulk loads the data into the disconnected database. It does not check for duplicates and always appends data. You must verify the integrity of the data.

To test the application data on a disconnected machine

1. Start the application and run queries.
