I've done some POCs using the SOAP web services provided (CatalogService (oracle.com)); however, I haven't found any of these web services that can upload a .catalog file. It would be helpful to have a web service that can upload the .catalog files created in UI when archiving BIP reports in order to migrate a version of the report to a target instance using an automated deployment process.

    Hi @ MD-JMS

    BIP reports CatalogService: Provides methods to manage (create, copy, upload, download and delete) report catalog objects, such as folders, reports, data models, style templates, and sub-templates.

    .catalog format is an analytics archive format, we can't use the same . You need to use download and upload option.

    Other comments are welcome

    I have used other BIP web services for ScheduleService & ReportService and they have worked like as expected. So I assume we can use the catalogService (downloadObject and uploadObject) methods to achieve the asked functionality.
