Deploy a Semantic Model

Deployment moves the semantic model from the design-time environment to the runtime environment.

The users see the deployed semantic model as subject areas that they query from workbooks, dashboards, and analyses. The Oracle Analytics query engine uses the semantic model's metadata to write physical queries against the data source and to transform and combine the physical result set and perform final calculations.

Before you deploy a semantic model, make sure that you run Check Consistency and Advanced Check and resolve any errors. You can't successfully deploy a semantic model that contains errors. See Check the Consistency of a Semantic Model and Run the Advanced Consistency Check Before Deploying a Semantic Model.

After you begin deploying a semantic model, the deployment's status is displayed at the bottom of the Semantic Modeler editor. You can click the drop-down button and click Cancel to cancel the deployment.

If your semantic model deployment fails, then Oracle Analytics creates log files that you can use to understand why the deployment failed. See View a Semantic Model's Logs.

If the subject areas don't display or aren't updated after you successfully deployed the semantic model, then log out and log back into Oracle Analytics. In some cases, an Administrator may need to go to the Console and click the Session and Query Cache's Reload Files and Metadata link to reload the subject areas.
