This procedure enables you to specify original and replacement document data models, interactively (using the Impact Manager module screens) or from a pre-generated list.
The documents that contain both data models must have been harvested. If a selected document has not been harvested, an error is displayed. See Synchronize Metadata Feature. |
To specify the documents and data models:
Select Navigate, then Impact Manager, and then Update Data Models.
Specify Data Models is displayed.
Enter a Task Description, to identify the task in Show Task Status.
A default description is provided.
Select Specify documents and data models interactively, and select an option.
Select Match the full data model.
Click Browse (next to Select file containing original data model), and ensure the file is an imported and synchronized Interactive Reporting document
Select the original data model from drop-down list (Data model sections are created when a query section is created. Because the data model section is not visible as a unique section, users may not be aware that data models are in separate sections under default names. Use Promote to Master Data Model to make a data model section visible, and enable the data model to be reused in new queries. To assist with specifying which data model is to be updated, query names are displayed after the data model in the drop-down list. See Link Between Data Models and Queries)
Click Browse (next to Select file containing replacement data model), and ensure the file is an imported and synchronized Interactive Reporting document
Select the replacement data model from the list (For example, select Superset DataModel (Superset Query))
Click Next to move to Candidates
Select Match on the query request.
Click Browse (next to Select file containing replacement data model), and ensure the file is an imported and synchronized Interactive Reporting document
Select the replacement data model from the list (For example, select Subset DataModel (Subset Query) or Superset DataModel (Superset Query))
Click Next to move to Candidates
Select Use a pre-generated list of documents and data models.
Click Browse (next to Select a Task Definition File).
The Task Definition File is a text file, that contains one line per document to transform. Therefore, to update 10 documents, the file would contain 10 lines. Each line contains the raw parameters required to run the script separated by commas, that is; parameter1="value1", parameter2="value2". The values are the UUIDs and data models for the transformation. Most files require many parameters per line. Users wanting to perform batch updates compile a list of documents using an Interactive Reporting document to generate the parameter file. See Generating Parameter Files.
