3.5.2 Deploying a Report or Asset to a JAR File
You can deploy a report or other assets to a JAR file on the local file system. This allows you to easily transfer the bundled report or assets to a different environment at a later time.
To deploy a report or other asset to a JAR file, follow the steps below:

1. Open the asset or report in Style Studio, and press the 'Deploy' button in the Style Studio toolbar. This opens the 'Deploy' dialog box.
Alternatively, expand the Style Studio Asset panel, and right-click the report or asset that you wish to deploy. Select 'Deploy' from the context menu to open the 'Deploy' dialog box.

See Configuring and Selecting a Repository in Getting Started to configure alternate repositories.
2. In the 'Deploy' dialog box, select the 'Desktop' option, and click the 'Browse' button.

This opens the 'Save' dialog box.
3. In the 'Save' dialog box, specify the location and the 'File name' for the exported JAR file, and click 'OK'.
4. When deploying a report, follow the steps below:
a. Enter the name of the report in the 'Name' field as it should appear when viewed in the User Portal (unless an alternative 'Alias' is specified; see below).
b. (Optional) Specify an alternate display name for the report in the 'Alias' field. If provided, the 'Alias' is used in place of the 'Name' in the User Portal Repository listing (when the report is later imported into another server environment).
The deployed report will inherit permissions from its parent folder in the repository. See Report Permissions in Administration Reference for further infomration.
c. In the 'Folder' menu, select or enter the name of a repository folder into which to deploy the report. If the folder does not exist, it will be created.
The table below the 'Folder' menu lists all of the assets that are required by the selected report. You can choose which of these assets you wish to deploy together with the report.
d. Under the 'Include' column of the table, select the assets that you wish to deploy together with the report.
Note: Overwriting repository files may interfere with other reports.
e. Select 'Overwrite' to specify that these deployed assets should replace assets of the same name in the deployment repository. Deselect the 'Overwrite' option if you do not wish existing assets to be modified.
5. Press 'OK'.
This deploys the report or asset, together with any selected required assets, to a JAR file in the location that you specified. You can import the JAR file into an alternate repository by using the 'Import' feature of Style Studio or Enterprise Manager in the target repository. See Importing Assets from a JAR File below and Importing Assets in Administration Reference for more information.
