Before you begin, be sure to review the guidelines listed in Deploying Essbase (ASO) and Essbase (BSO) Applications.
Note: | For information on deploying business rules, see the Oracle Hyperion Calculation Manager Designer’s Guide. |
To redeploy an Essbase (ASO) or Essbase (BSO) application:
Follow the procedure in Deploying Essbase (ASO) and Essbase (BSO) Applications, step 1 through step 5.
Note:
When you redeploy an application, if Performance Management Architect cannot find the application server previously specified, you can select a different application server.
Select the Clear Metadata, Clear Data, and Full Deploy check boxes according to your requirements; in summary:
When the Full Deploy check box is selected Performance Management Architect will export complete metadata.
Note:
If you modified the dimension sort order after you originally deployed the application, you must select the Full Deploy option when you redeploy in order to modify the outline in the Essbase deployed application. For information on modifying the sort order settings, see Setting the Dimension Sort Order and Dimension Density.
When Full Deploy is not selected, Performance Management Architect will export only those dimensions which have been modified. Essbase Studio drops only the modified dimensions and members, and rebuilds them according to the selections you make in the Clear Metadata and Clear Data check boxes.
See Table 17 for complete details of the results of selecting the check boxes in the Deploy dialog box.

Deselected Deselected Deselected Oracle Essbase Studio will add members without dropping any dimensions. Outline restructure will keep data. Note:
If a deployment is interrupted or deleted, the status may show “deploy pending” and the deployment may time out. The default time out is 480 minutes (8 hours). You can change the default in awbconfig.properties. If a deployment times out, you should deploy the application again. Even though the status may indicate that it is in sync with deployment; it may not be because of the time out.
View and edit the deployed application outline in Essbase Administration Services Console; query the application database using either Oracle Hyperion Smart View for Office, Fusion Edition or Oracle Essbase Spreadsheet Add-in.
