Dependencies between configurations
By setting dependencies you create a relation between two configurations:
When you set dependencies, you transfer database settings to other configurations without having to administer them separately:
Configuration sources and dependencies
These dependencies are possible in Infor BI Repository Administration:
- The user-dependant configuration may depend on computer configurations, on enterprise configurations, or on service configurations.
- The computer configuration may depend on enterprise configurations or on service configurations.
- Enterprise configurations may depend on other enterprise configurations.
- Service configurations may not depend on other configurations.
If you link more than two configurations by dependencies, a chain is created which comprises the settings and the dependencies of each chain member. Circular dependencies are impossible.
By default, the user-dependant configuration depends on the computer configuration. The registrations of the computer configuration thus also apply to the user-dependant configuration:
