Extending content

This section describes the possibilities for changing content of the LN Analytics.
Note: 

With the appropriate Birst license, you can copy and customize an Infor-provided space. However, we do not recommend this approach. After a copy is made, subsequent updates that are published by Infor will not be updated to your copied spaces. The original spaces are updated but the copies are not updated. You are responsible for manually migrating any changes into your copied spaces. Data loads for copied source and model spaces can break due to changes in the underlying data structures. We recommend that you follow the guidelines specified in this section and do not make a copy of your spaces. This is a safer approach to making any needed customizations.

Currently, there is no update mechanism between the different LN Analytics versions. If you want to use a new LN Analytics version, LN Analytics must be reprovisioned. During reprovisioning, all the previously provisioned LN Analytics spaces will be deleted and replaced by new ones. If you made important customizations, complete these steps:

  1. Before you start the reprovisioning process, make a copy of all your LN Analytics spaces (including customer spaces using LN Analytics spaces) and repoint the packages. After this step, you should have an independent standalone backup.
  2. After the reprovisioning process is completed, copy the customizations in the Consumer, Extensibility spaces from the backup spaces into the new provisioned spaces. You can also repoint the packages in the backup space to the new provisioned spaces for their customer spaces.
