Upload Content from a Catalog Archive

Administrators can upload content from Oracle Analytics and Oracle BI Enterprise Edition 11.1.1.9.0 or later. Select the custom catalog folder where you want the content to go, and you'll see an Unarchive option. Point to a catalog archive, any valid .catalog file, to copy its content to this folder.

For reports to work, all the required tables and data must be available to Oracle Analytics. Load the data or connect to the data if it’s stored in an Oracle Cloud database.

1. On the Classic Home page, click Catalog.
2. Navigate to a custom folder where you want to unarchive the content of your file.
3. In Unarchive, click Browse to select the archive file.
4. In Replace, select an option:
   • None: Never overwrite existing content. This is the default setting.
   • All: Overwrite existing content, except for content marked Read-Only.
   • Old: Overwrite existing content if it’s older than the content in the file.
   • Force: Overwrite all content, even newer content and content marked Read-Only.
5. In ACL, select how to apply Access Control List permissions.
   • Create: Preserves objects' permissions as they were in the original, creating and mapping users and application roles as necessary. If the user or role is not available, objects inherit their owner from the new parent folder, which is similar to the Inherit option.
   • Inherit: Inherit objects' permissions from its new parent folder. (Default)
   • Preserve: Preserve objects' permissions as they were in the original, mapping users and application roles as necessary.
6. Click OK.
