Use Terminal to Compress SMML Files to a .zip File on Mac
If you use a development tool other than the SMML editor to create or edit a
semantic model, you must use the zip
command to compress the SMML files
to a .zip file. You import this .zip file into Semantic Modeler to create or update a model
in your Oracle Analytics instance.
You must use the
zip
command to
compress the SMML files to a .zip file. If you use the Compress menu option in Finder,
the compress to ZIP fails.
Don't run the
zip
command on the root
folder. If you compress the root folder and import the resulting .zip file into Semantic
Modeler, the import fails.
Instead in the
zip
command, navigate to
the root folder and specify the logical, physical, presentation, and variables folders.
