When you are modifying a project, you can import metadata
from a variety of data sources, both relational and dimensional. Before
importing, it is important that you determine that the data source
contains the data and metadata that satisfy your reporting needs.
About this task
You can use the sample metadata models to select the system
objects that you want to import.
- Click the namespace, folder, or segment that you want to import
into
- From the Actions menu, click Run Metadata Wizard.
- Click Data sources and click Next.
- In the import wizard, select the check boxes for the objects you
want to import.
- Choose either to import and create a unique name, or not to import.
If you choose to create a unique name, the imported object is displayed
with a number. For example, you see QuerySubject and QuerySubject1
in your project.
- If you want to import system objects, select the Show System
Objects check box, and then select the system objects that you
want to import.
- Click Next and click Finish.
