Deploy the BI Gateway model

You deploy an AVEVA BI Gateway model, or AVEVA BI Gateway objects to AVEVA BI Gateway. You can:

• Deploy the entire AVEVA BI Gateway model.

• Deploy individual AVEVA BI Gateway objects or deploy AVEVA BI Gateway objects with their parent dependents. Measure to Dimensions (and Dimension links) and Measure / Dimensions to Data Sources together.

  Note: To deploy from an individual object, click the Deploy icon.

• Deploy AVEVA BI Gateway objects of the same group together.

Data from deployed data sources is available to the deployed dependent dimensions and measures at run time. If you deploy objects of different groups together, then the order of deployment is: Data Sources, Dimensions, and then Measures. If you deploy the parent objects, all the dependent objects will also be updated.

Deploy the BI Gateway model

1. Open the AVEVA BI Gateway Model Builder Home page.

2. Click Deploy All from the main menu to deploy the entire AVEVA BI Gateway model. The Deploy All Objects dialog box appears.

   

3. Click any of the following:

   • Cancel

   • Remove Data: if you want to remove the existing data in the datastore. You must rename and redeploy the new dimension or measure.

   • Keep Data: if you want to retain the existing data in the datastore. You must rename and redeploy the new dimension or measure.

     Note: 'Keep Data' may still result in a complete drop of the relevant dimension or measure data if the structure changed.
