Publishing workflow description

This workflow is based on specific two user roles that must be assigned to users by the Exalead CloudView administrator:

• Linguist is a business user who:

  • Proposes new semantic packages using the Business Console.

  • Publishes resources for use in actual processing.

• Administrator is a technical user (consulting, IT...) who:

  • Configures the resource usage in the product.

  • Manages the technical deployment of resources on multiple hosts.

  • Deploys the resources from pre-prod to production.

The following table describes the publishing workflow steps that can be performed in the Business Console > Semantic menu by the Linguist and the Business administrator.
