Functional Constraints of Processes

The lock logic between the load, compress, roll-up, activate and load processes of an InfoCube is as follows:

Recommendation

To ensure that the various processes do not lock each other out, we recommend that you use process chains. See also the example for Including InfoCubes in Process Chains. When designing complex process chains, you yourself have to ensure that these processes do not lock each other.

End of the recommendation.
