Preparing to Deploy a BI Beans Application

This topic discusses preparation for deploying a BI Beans application within JDeveloper and identifies the available deployment options.

Preparation for deployment

Before deploying a BI Beans application in JDeveloper, you must perform the following tasks:

  1. Deploy your business intelligence objects. To accomplish this task, you must decide how you want your application to reference these objects (that is, from a remote BI Beans Catalog or from the local file system of the deployment machine).

  2. Update the Run Settings tab of the BI Beans Settings dialog box to reflect the location of the deployed objects.

After completing these tasks, you are ready to use JDeveloper to deploy your BI Beans application in either of the following ways:

Deploying business intelligence objects

During design, JDeveloper stores the XML definitions of your application's business intelligence objects in a Local Catalog in your file system. The location of this Local Catalog is specified in the Design Settings tab of the BI Beans Settings dialog box. Before deploying an application, you must ensure that the Run Settings tab of the BI Beans Settings dialog box specifies the location where you want these object definitions to be deployed.

Choose one of the following options for how your deployed application will reference its business intelligence objects:

Deploying a BI Beans HTML-Client Application
Deploying a BI Beans Java-Client Application
Specifying a BI Application User in JDeveloper
