Business processes are supported and enforced through the use of a staging area. For example, Product Managers can launch data changes on an item level into a temporary staging area, identify jobs that would ask for manager approvals with alerts that will notify pertinent parties, which then can be rolled back granularly if rejected, and that will automatically trigger a differences report for managers and monitors.
When a staging area is created, nothing appears in the Staging Area Console. When creating an Export , Step 9 selects a distribution. This is where the Staging Area is selected and when the export runs, it sends it to the selected staging area and appears in the Staging Area Console.
Creating a staging area
To create a staging area, do the following:
1. Use the menu path Data Model Manager > Staging Area > Staging Area Console, to display the Staging Area Console and then click Create new Staging Area. The Create Staging Area wizard appears.
2. Enter a name for the new staging area and click Next. A message box appears notifying of a successful creation.
