To create a new model store, you need to perform these tasks on the Model
Store tab of the Modeling page.
-
In a web browser, go to:
http://server:port/metadata-insights
Where server is the server name or IP address of your
Spectrum™ Technology Platform server and port is the
HTTP port. By default, the HTTP port is 8080.
-
Log in using your credentials.
-
Click .
-
Click Create Model Store icon .
The Create Model Store page is displayed, listing
the Name, Selected Mapping (of the
logical model), and Type (physical or logical) of all the
available models.
-
In the Name text box, enter a name for the Model
Store.
-
Select the check box corresponding to the models you want to include in the
model store. To select all the listed models, select the
Include check box in the header row.
To remove any selected model, de-select the corresponding row.
Note: You can
use the Filter type ahead text box to customize the
grid display. For example, if the models you want to select begin with the
text "Cust", you can type Cust in the filter box, and
it will display all the models having "Cust" in their name.
The selected models get included in the model store. For logical models
having multiple mappings, the default selection is displayed when you click
for that logical model.
Note: If you click the
Save button without including any model, and
error message asks you to include at least one model from the
table.
-
To change the selected mapping of a logical model before including it in the
model store, select the option button corresponding to that mapping or union in
the Mapping Name column.
-
To define the cache configuration of the logical models included in the model
store, click the respective Cache configuration
button.
Note: The Cache configuration button is displayed after
you select the Include check box for the logical
model.
The
Cache configuration for model <name of the
model> pop-up window is displayed. For details on configuring
the cache, see
Configuring Cache.
Note: You can configure the cache of only one logical model at a time.
-
To save as well as deploy the model store, click Save &
Deploy. If you selected a logical model, but did not select all
the mapped physical models, a message prompts you to add the dependent physical
model as well. Click Yes and proceed.
For successful deployment of a model store, ensure
you avoid these two scenarios.
- A constituent logical model is not mapped to any physical model.
- For a logical model, any of its mapped physical model has not been
selected for addition.
The model store gets saved and deployed for use in the client
application.
Note: In case you did not fulfill any of the criteria mentioned
above, your model store still gets saved and an error message is displayed
indicating that the model store has not been deployed. For more information,
see .
Deploying a Model Store.
-
To save the model store and deploy it later, click
Save.
A model store needs to be deployed to be accessed from
Spectrum™ Technology Platform as well as other client applications.
- To deploy a model store, see Deploying a Model Store.
- To access a model store from within Spectrum™ Technology Platform, you
need to create a connection to it using the Add Data
Sources page. For more information, see Connecting to a Model Storein the Administration Guide.
- To access a model store from a client application other than Spectrum™ Technology Platform, you need to download the JDBC driver and install
it manually. For more information about downloading and installing the JDBC
driver, see Installing JDBC Driver.
