Import a .zip File to Create a Semantic Model

You can import a .zip file, archived semantic model, to create a semantic model in your development environment.

An imported model contains a connection, data table definitions, and semantic model layer objects that you can modify.

After you import a file, the Semantic Modeler editor opens and you must:

• 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 .
• Add any needed connection pools or assign a connection to each imported connection pool. See Set a Connection Pool's Connection Property.

1. On your home page, click Create and then click Semantic Model.
2. In Create Semantic Model enter a name for the semantic model. Click Create.
3. In the Create Semantic Model options page, click Import a File.
4. In the File Upload dialog, browse for an archived (.zip file) semantic model to upload. Click Open.
5. Click Import.
