# Oracle Endeca Workbench Integration and Deployment

This section describes the Deployment Template functionality that allows deployments to integrate with Oracle Endeca Workbench.

- Oracle Endeca Workbench Integration functions
  The Deployment Template scripts include functionality that allows deployments to integrate with Oracle Endeca Workbench. Integration involves three functions: configuration management, process control, and reporting.
- Configuration management
  The Deployment Template implements a configuration management approach based on a simple business process.
- About updating Workbench configuration
  One implication of the single-source business process is that configuration does not need to be uploaded to Oracle Endeca Workbench after it is initially uploaded.
- About extending Workbench configuration
  As with any other component in the template, configuration management may be modified and extended to meet the needs of the project.
- About promoting configuration to production
  The Deployment Template BaselineUpdate script retrieves Workbench-maintained configuration files and applies them when the update is being processed.
- Process control
  Different project and deployment needs require varying deployment approaches to meet a project's requirements. The following sections describe a few approaches to deploying Oracle Endeca Workbench and how the Deployment Template can be configured for each approach.
