To activate the schedule and the task flow links that you created, you must promote the steps to production mode. Production mode indicates that the steps are in their final format. In production mode, you can change only those settings that will not affect the step's processing, such as changing the description of the step. For more information, see the Data Warehouse Center Administration Guide.
To promote the steps to production mode:
The Data Warehouse Center displays a progress window. Wait until the Data Warehouse Center finishes processing before continuing with this lesson. When the progress window closes, the step icon changes to show two locks indicating that the step is in production mode.
