Uploading Snapshots

You can upload a snapshot that you previously saved on your local file system.

When you upload a snapshot, the file itself is uploaded to your system but the artifacts stored inside the snapshot are not immediately available in your environment. Any snapshot you upload displays in the snapshot list. When you are ready to do so, you can overwrite your current artifacts, such as the catalog, with information from the snapshot. See Restoring from a Snapshot.

To upload a snapshot:

  1. Click Upload Snapshot.
  2. Use Browse to locate the snapshot that you want to upload.

    Choose the Oracle Business Intelligence archive file (.bar) that contains your snapshot.

  3. Enter the snapshot password.

    You set the password during the download process.

  4. Click OK.

The uploaded snapshot is displayed in the list of saved snapshots. Follow steps in Restoring from a Snapshot to restore it.
