Activate a New or Changed Model

After you have defined or updated the milestones, indicators, a unique identifier, mappings, and extraction criteria for an Insight model, it is in Configured status, and is ready to be activated.

Insight Administrators, Business Users/Analysts, and Integration Architects can activate models.

Activating a new model (or updating an existing activated model) pushes the new model definition, including mapping metadata, out to the runtime engines used during the mapping process. Mapping metadata is used by the runtime engines to monitor for execution patterns indicating that milestones have been passed. The process of validating a model, distributing it to the runtime engines, and then beginning the process of active monitoring for extracting metrics takes some time to complete.

After activation is complete, Business Executives will immediately have access to dashboards that monitor the business process in real time.

To activate a model:

1. On the Models page, complete any pending tasks for the model you want to activate.

   Notes:

   • If you are making changes to an existing activated model, click the icon next to the existing model to view the updated draft model.

   • Any pending tasks are shown under Messages in the Model Editor. Click the link in each message to perform the necessary task.

     
     
     

     The model status changes from Draft to Configured only when all pending tasks are completed. You can activate a model only when it is in Configured status.

   Note:

2. Hover your cursor over the model you want to activate and click .
3. In the confirmation dialog, click Activate.
   
   

   A message notifies you that the activation request was submitted, and the progress status is displayed.
