Use the following rules and guidelines when you check out and check in composite objects:
The Repository Service does not check out or check in reusable objects when you check out or check in a composite parent object, such as a mapping. For example, if you want to check out a mapping and all objects used in the mapping, you must check out all mapplets and reusable transformations individually.
The Repository Service treats non-reusable objects as part of the parent object, so you cannot check out or check in individual non-reusable objects. For example, if you have a mapping that contains a non-reusable Aggregator transformation, you cannot check out the Aggregator transformation individually. When you check out the parent mapping, the Repository Service checks out the non-reusable Aggregator transformation.
When you check out or check in cubes, the child objects (the fact tables) are also checked out or checked in. Likewise, when you check out or check in dimensions, the child objects (the levels) are checked out or checked in.
You can check out or check in scheduler objects in the Workflow Manager or the Repository Manager:
In the Workflow Manager, run an object query. You can also check out a scheduler object in the Scheduler Browser window when you edit the object. However, you must run an object query to check in the object.
In the Repository Manager, run an object query. You can also select the Schedulers node in the Navigator and then check out objects from the Main window.
You can check out or check in session configuration objects in the Workflow Manager:
In the Workflow Manager, run an object query. You can also click Tasks > Session Configuration and then check out objects from the Session Config Browser window.
In the Repository Manager, run an object query. Or, select the Configurations node in the Navigator and then check out objects from the Main window.
