Merge External Applications
As a modeler, modeler administrator, and security administrator, you can merge the semantic model of an external application such as another Oracle Analytics Cloud instance with Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence. You can also merge your existing catalogs in the external Oracle Analytics Cloud with those in the Oracle Analytics Cloud instance associated with your Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence instance.
Use the Semantic Model Import option to merge the semantic model. Prior to merging the external semantic model, the system validates it and displays the validation report in the Validation tab in the External Application region. If there are no errors in the external semantic model, then you can proceed with the merge. When the external application name is the same as the currently merged one, then it won't show in the validation tab even if you validate it. Once an external application is merged, its not possible to import and validate again an external application with the same name. To import the external semantic model again, you must change the external application name.
Use the Application Import option to import content you created in a different Oracle Analytics product such as Oracle Analytics Cloud, Oracle Analytics Server, Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition and exported to a BAR file (snapshot).
