In the first process flow in Figure 9.7 (left flow), the target of
the “Using transients-SQL” step is defined as a transient table called
TRANSIENT. This table is then used as a source to the two OLAP steps
that populate two dif-ferent cubes. Now as each of the OLAP steps
executes, prior to them loading the cube, it will run the “Using
transients-SQL” step, and once complete, the OLAP steps will complete.
In this case, you will notice that the schedules are not on the “Using
transients-SQL” step, but on each individual OLAP step indicated as by
the small clock icon. In fact, if you were to schedule a step that
produces a transient table, you would get a runtime error.
