Deployment

You must prepare the application before deploying the local package. The tasks described in this topic must be done on the target tenant.

Check in all content

Check in all content. Ensure that all users check in any content they have edited. For example, changes made using Application Studio.

Use the Pending Operations widget on the Repository dashboard in EPM Administration to verify that no content is checked out.

If users who have checked out content are not available, you can use the widget to check-in content for them.

Caution: 
Follow the instructions in the Pending operations topic in the EPM Administration documentation. Misusing the pending operations widget can corrupt the target tenant's repository.

Backup the OLAP database

We recommend you create an OLAP backup before importing a new version of an application. To replace OLAP cubes and dimensions with a new version, delete the cubes and dimension that should be replaced with the cubes and dimensions in the local package.
