Create a Bundle

Create a snapshot of your application artifacts to save their current state. You can view the bundles that you created on the Bundles page.

While creating a bundle in your source instance, ensure that you select only the data sources that are also available in the target instance to avoid deployment failures in the target instance.

Prior to creating and generating a content bundle, ensure that none of the datasets have names with special characters. Also, if some of the datasets don't have key metrics to back up, manually select the key metrics from the respective subject areas and datasets and regenerate the content bundle. If there aren't any key metrics to back up in the bundle, then you can only select the OAC Content option from the user interface.

  1. Sign in to your service.
  2. In Oracle NetSuite Analytics Warehouse Console, click Bundles under Application Administration.
  3. On the Bundles page, click Create.
  4. In Create Bundles, select the type of bundle that you want to create. For example, Content Bundle.
  5. Enter a name and description for your bundle.
  6. Depending on the type of bundle, select the applicable option and then click Save:
    • For a content bundle, select the Include All Content check box, or select the applicable Oracle Analytics Cloud content, workbooks, and key metrics using the corresponding toggles and buttons. You can select the Include Reporting Parameters and Include Configurable Account Analysis check boxes, if applicable.

    • For a key metrics content bundle, select the key metrics you want to bundle using the corresponding toggles and buttons. Key metrics are also included with Environment Bundles. To improve performance, select the specific key metrics you want to bundle.

      Note:

      To import key metrics, you must deploy a key metric bundle into a new instance with key metrics enabled. You can import key metrics in datasets however the entire dataset won't be imported due to security limitations. Datasets without key metrics aren't included in key metrics.
    • For a data configuration bundle, select the Include all data configuration settings check box, or select the applicable modules, augmentations, custom attribute mappings, and pipeline settings using the corresponding toggles and Select buttons.

      Note:

      The Include all data configuration settings selects only the deployed custom data configurations, the activated data augmentations, and the activated functional areas.
    • For a semantic extensions bundle, you can select Include all semantic extensions check box (this adds the external semantic model too) to include everything or select Include External RPD to only include external elements. Select the Publish External RPD check box to publish external elements. Select a tag or branch from the dropdown box to define which tag or branch you want to publish.

      If you've migrated to the latest wizards for extending the semantic model, select the Semantic Extensions to include all sandbox customizations. If required, select an external application to include external elements in the bundle.

    • For a security bundle, select the Include all security settings check box or select the Oracle NetSuite Analytics Warehouse-related application roles using the Select Application Roles button as the recommended approach.

      Note:

      If you've uptaken the enhanced security capability of Oracle NetSuite Analytics Warehouse, then you no longer can specifically select groups as part of the Security bundle. See About Managing Users, Groups, and Application Roles.
