Extend the Semantic Model Using the Sandbox Framework
The Sandbox framework enhances the development process with its intuitive graphical modeling capabilities. It enhances the user experience by visually organizing related elements within each logical star and subject area. The logical task organization and minimal steps make customization easy and efficient.
The Sandbox framework streamlines development by allowing changes to be made without requiring chronological order, eliminating the need to wait for compilation until all modifications are complete. This framework promotes greater consistency in the semantic model, supporting adherence to best practices.
Multiple users can work concurrently in separate customization sandboxes. To ensure your work incorporates the latest changes, compare the update date of your sandbox with the main sandbox. If your sandbox was updated before the main sandbox, create a new customization sandbox and transfer your changes, then delete the old one, as changes merged to the main sandbox after your sandbox's creation won't be included. Before merging changes to the main sandbox, coordinate with other applicable users to prevent conflicts. Publish only one sandbox at a time. Publishing a sandbox removes any sandbox already published. If you've merged a sandbox, then the system preserves the changes that you published prior to merging with the main sandbox.
- Create a sandbox.
- Select Perform Action and then select Create or Manage a Star .
- Make changes as required (the changes are done to the logical model).
- Select Perform Action and then select Manage Subject Areas.
- Incorporate logical changes in the desired subject areas.
- Go back to Semantic Model Extensions page, select User Extensions, select Publish Model, and then select the sandbox to publish.
- In Oracle Analytics Cloud associated with your Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence instance, verify if the changes are reflected in the subject area.
