Import the Deployed Model to Create a Semantic Model

You can import the deployed semantic model from Oracle Analytics to create a semantic model in your semantic modeler development environment.

You can use this option when:
  • You don't have access to the deployed semantic model's source files but need them to perform troubleshooting work from the Semantic Modeler editor.
  • You need to migrate the semantic model created and deployed from Model Administration Tool to Semantic Modeler. For specific information, see Import the Semantic Model Deployed From Model Administration Tool.
The new semantic model contains a connection, data table definitions, and semantic model layer objects that you can modify as needed. After you import the deployed semantic model, the Semantic Modeler editor opens and you should do the following:
  • Review any import errors and warnings displayed in the View Import Log tab. See About Import Errors and Warnings.
  • Review the imported model's metadata, objects, and properties to confirm that they were populated correctly.
  • Confirm that the semantic model accesses the required connection. You or another user can create or share the imported semantic model's connection before or after file import. See Manage Connections to Data Sources.
  • Review the connection pool for each database and assign a data system connection to each imported connection pool. See Set a Connection Pool's Connection Property.
