Validate Model

Prior to creating a semantic model bundle to deploy to another instance, you can validate the semantic model to confirm that it's error free.

Use the Validate Model option when:
  • You want to confirm that there are no errors in the model.
  • You see a banner on the Semantic Model Extensions page alerting you about errors in the model.

The initial banner provides a Learn More option linking to this information e Validate Model chapter, which references the Resolve Common Errors in Semantic Model Extensions appendix that can be used to debug and resolve your semantic model errors.

  1. Sign in to your service.
  2. In Oracle NetSuite Analytics Warehouse Console, click Semantic Model Extensions under Application Administration.
  3. On the Semantic Model Extensions page, click Validate Model and monitor the status of this activity on the on the Activity tab.
    • If there aren’t any errors, the Subject in the Activity tab shows as Validated with no detected errors and you can proceed with creating a semantic model bundle.
    • If there are errors, the Subject in the Activity tab shows as Errors Detected. Refresh your browser to review.
  4. On the Semantic Model Extensions page, if there are errors in your semantic extensions since the last system error check was preformed, an initial banner appears alerting you to address the errors immediately to prevent failures to upgrade the patches.

  5. Click Learn More in the initial banner to learn how to debug and resolve your semantic model errors.
  6. Click View Errors in the initial banner to review the detected issues and then click Download Errors to download and export the errors as a spreadsheet for easier analysis

  7. Address each error in the semantic model by identifying the specific error and its location within the model.
    These debugging tips can help you address common errors in your semantic model; see Resolve Common Errors in Semantic Model Extensions.
  8. Click Validate Model to refresh the list of errors on the banner.

  9. After the validation process is complete, return to the semantic model components tab, reload the Semantic Model Extensions page to verify if any semantic model extension errors are identified.
    If errors are present, the banner appears. If errors are resolved, the banner doesn't appear.
  10. If you've closed the initial banner without correcting errors, review the second more urgent warning that alerts you about the adverse impact of your decision to ignore the errors, and:
    • Click View and correct errors to immediately export, review, and resolve all semantic model errors.
    • Click Acknowledge to ignore the errors.

      Note:

      This option has a downstream effect on the pipeline, upgrades, and usability, and is recorded as Upgrade Warning Acknowledged in the Activity tab.
