Archiving

Archiving enables you to bundle specific folders, or multi-component objects (for example, scorecards) as a .catalog file and upload the .catalog file to unarchive the data to another location in the catalog. This process enables you to transfer specific data across environments. For example, you can use this feature to transfer data from a staging environment to a production environment.

If you have the necessary privileges, then you can use the Oracle BI Catalog Manager to archive and unarchive catalog objects and perform other Catalog maintenance tasks.
