Semantic Model Features

Feature Description
Upload Multiple External Applications

This feature enables you to upload multiple external applications within semantic model extensions.

You are recommended to keep this feature disabled unless you have a strong business requirement to use multiple external applications. Supporting multiple applications increases validation and merge processing, which can result in longer import and deployment times.

If multiple versions of an external application were unintentionally imported, remove older duplicate versions, consolidate into a single application where possible, and then disable this feature to prevent future accidental duplication.

For bundle deployment, configure this setting in the same way across both the source and target instances. If the settings don't match, bundle deployment fails. Before regenerating and redeploying the bundle, ensure the setting is same in both instances.

See Import Semantic Model.

  • On – Allows import and deployment of multiple external applications.
  • Off – Prevents import and deployment of multiple external applications.

Default: Off for all new 26.R2 and later instances and for instances with no or a single external application uploaded prior to 26.R2. On for instances with multiple RPDs uploaded prior to 26.R2.

Restart Required: No
