Deploy a Semantic Model

Deployment moves the semantic model from the design-time environment to the runtime environment.

See About Deploying a Semantic Model.

Before you deploy a semantic model:

  • Confirm that you have the BI Data Model Author application role. The BI Data Model Author application role gives you access to Semantic Modeler and the ability to create, edit, and deploy semantic models.

    When you have the BI Data Model Author application role, the Deploy option is displayed in the toolbar's Page menu. If the Deploy option isn't displayed, then you don't have the required application role. Ask your administrator to grant you the BI Data Model Author application role.

  • Run Check Consistency and Advanced Check and resolve any errors. You can't successfully deploy a semantic model that contains errors. See Check the Consistency of a Semantic Model and Run the Advanced Consistency Check Before Deploying a Semantic Model.

After you begin deploying a semantic model, the deployment's status is displayed at the bottom of the Semantic Modeler editor. You can click the drop-down button and click Cancel to cancel the deployment.
If your semantic model deployment fails, then Oracle Analytics creates log files that you can use to understand why the deployment failed. See View a Semantic Model's Logs.
