Oracle Analytics Application Archive (BAR) file is a compressed archive file that contains a cohesive set of Oracle Analytics metadata artifacts (data model, content model, and authorization model). The Oracle Analytics Server BAR file for Oracle Argus Analytics is available at the following location:
<Argus Analytics Home>\report\ssi.bar
A BAR file contains the following Oracle Analytics application module artifacts:
- Data model metadata for the Oracle Analytics Server. This metadata is xml-based but functionally equivalent to an .RPD file.
- Presentation Services catalog metadata for a service instance.
- Security policy metadata containing application role and application role memberships, and permission and permission set grants for a service instance.
- A manifest file declaring the dependencies of the BAR file.
Note:
Importig a BAR file replaces all the Catalog files, RPD files, and the Security Model in an existing Oracle Analytics Server instance with any customization.
It is recommended that the BAR file import is done on a new Oracle Analytics Server instance.
