Deploying a Catalog
Deploying a catalog deploys all of the models in the repository so they can be accessed and queried from BI tools.
When you deploy a catalog, all models in the selected repository are deployed. Before deploying, you should verify that it is safe for all models in the repository to be deployed. Additionally, once a model is deployed, all users have access to it by default. For information on updating permissions on deployed models, see Configuring Permissions on Deployed Models.
About this task
Deployinging a catalog generates the following files and information for each model:
- Tableau
.tdsfiles - A JDBC connection URL
- An MDX connection URL
- An connection string for ODBC and SQL connections
If you have configured AtScale to deploy to Tableau, you can also select the specific servers you want to deploy the catalog to. For more information, see Configuring Connections to Tableau Server.
