Step 2: Testing Oracle BI Disconnected Analytics Applications

Before deploying an application to disconnected users, you should test each application by performing a download (with or without test data) and running the disconnected application independently of Oracle BI Disconnected Analytics Application Manager. Conducting a test in this way validates the disconnected repository, the local Oracle BI Presentation Catalog, and the database tables before deployment. If you do not want to set up the database tables separately, then you can test the application as a disconnected user.

To test an Oracle BI Disconnected Analytics application

1. Identify a machine on which you will test.
2. Install the Oracle BI Server components on this machine.

   For installation instructions, see Oracle Business Intelligence Infrastructure Installation and Configuration Guide.

3. Use the disconnected repository and the local Oracle BI Presentation Catalog on this machine, in place of the repository and Oracle BI Presentation Catalog on the Oracle BI Server machine.
4. Set up the database connections on the machine to point to the test disconnected database.

   If you manually load test data, you can validate the local Oracle BI Presentation Catalog.

5. Start the Oracle BI Server and Oracle Business Intelligence services.
6. Log in to each application and run queries.
7. Debug when errors occur.
