Committing an Object to Production

You can commit a simple object (for example, a dashboard with privileges) to your production environment using the archive and unarchive functionality.

Committing a complex object (for example, an object that includes references to external filters) is a more advanced process. Oracle Corporation offers advanced training courses to guide you through this process. It is recommended that you attend one of these courses before you attempt to commit a complex object to production.

Committing a simple object to production

1. Archive the object using one of the following:
   • Oracle BI Presentation Services Administration.

     For more information on how to archive in Oracle BI Presentation Services Administration, see Archiving a Presentation Catalog.

   • Catalog Manager.

     For more information on how to archive in Catalog Manager, see Archiving and Unarchiving a Presentation Catalog Using Catalog Manager.

2. Copy the archived file to the production machine.
3. On the production machine, unarchive the object. For more information on how to unarchive an object, see Archiving and Unarchiving a Presentation Catalog Using Catalog Manager.
4. Set the permissions on the object as appropriate.
