To restore cube artifacts from a Lifecycle Management (LCM) ZIP file:

On the Applications page, click Jobs.
From the New Job menu, select Import LCM.
Select the LCM export ZIP file.
Enter the target application name.
Select or clear Server Artifacts.
If server-level artifacts were included in the LCM export, you can check this box to also include server-level artifacts on LCM import.
Select or clear Overwrite.
Choosing to overwrite causes Essbase to recreate the target application. If overwrite is selected, the import operation deletes and recreates the entire application, importing only the artifacts present in the ZIP file. If overwrite is not selected, and the specified application name is the same as an existing application, the Import LCM job will fail.
Select whether to use verbose descriptions.
Choosing Verbose enables extended descriptions.
