Purpose
The purpose of this page is to briefly provide an overview of the Override function for LifeCycle Manager in BI4
Overview
One of the new features of LifeCycle Manager in BI4 is Connection Overrides. These Connection Overrides allow users to promote connections on which other objects depend without having to reconfigure them on the destination system. This is specifically used when the source and destination systems use the same connection with different backend data or login information. Remember that when promoting the overrides, you are not promoting the actual connection until it is included in a job.
Types of Overrides
These overrides are used for Universe connections
These overrides are used for Query as a Web Service (QaaWS) WDSLs 
These overrides are specific to Crystal Reports that contain connection information
