3.5.1  Deploying a Report or Asset to a Remote Repository

To save a report to the working repository, see Saving a Report to the Working Reposi­tory. Other assets are saved to the working repository by default.

A remote repository is any repository other than the current working repository. To deploy a report or other asset to a remote repository, 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 to configure alternate repositories.

2. In the 'Deploy' dialog box, select the 'Repository' option, and choose the desired remote repository from the menu. (Note that the current working repository is not listed in the menu.)

 

3. 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 of the remote environment (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.

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.

4. Click 'OK' to begin the deployment. Depending on the type of repository (server, database, or local), the deployment may take a few moments.

To view a deployed report, open the User Portal on a server which is configured to use the specified remote repository. See Production Reports in End User for information on viewing reports in the Portal. Reports and assets that you deploy to a remote repository can be managed by an administrator using Enterprise Manager.
