Redeploying Applications

Redeploying performs a merge or a replace of the application metadata based on the types of changes made since the last deployment. For example, if any members have been moved or deleted in any hierarchies in the application, then the redeployment of the metadata is performed using a replace mode. If only property updates were made to the application since the last deployment, then the redeployment of the metadata will be performed using a merge mode.

  To redeploy applications:

  1. Right-click the application and select Deploy.

  2. Optional: Select the Shared Services project.

    Note:

    When you redeploy Consolidation, Essbase (ASO), or Essbase (BSO) applications, if Performance Management Architect cannot find the application server previously specified, you can select a different application server.

  3. Optional: Select Full Deploy.

    Selecting “Full Deploy” ensures that Performance Management Architect includes all dimensions and members in the application in the deployment. If you do not select “Full Deploy,” only dimensions that have been modified since the last deployment are included. Select this option in cases where your Performance Management Architect metadata may be out of sync or your product database or Performance Management Architect database has been restored. (This option can only be selected when redeploying applications.)
