Install and promote data models after every change

  • Recommendation: Each time you update a data model (for example by adding a table or column), run a regular data model installation, then promote and install to the QC lifecycle.

  • Rationale: Installing and promoting data models after each update ensures that changes are installable, both individually and incrementally.

  • Additional information: Installing and promoting ensures that the same versions of the data models exist in both the DEV and QC lifecycles. Keeping the lifecyles in sync can help to improve performance and reduce errors that can occur if you promote cumulative data model changes at one time.
