Business Intelligence Tutorial

Promoting the steps to production mode

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:

  1. Right-click the Load Demographics data step.
  2. Click Mode --> Production, then click Yes to save.

    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.

  3. Repeat the previous steps for the Select Geographies Data step and Join Market Data steps, in order.
  4. Close the Process Model Window.
