After copying a semantic model to another (for example, promoting from dev to prod), the target semantic model points to the same data warehouse instance as the source model. This means that after promoting, the target model needs to be resynchronized with remapping and we need to change every single table to the correct table in the correct datawarehouse instance. This is a time consuming process that is also prone for errors.

It would be good to be able to set a ‘default' data warehouse instance source per semantic layer, so the SSL points to the correct instance immediately after the copy to instance action.

Hi Wouter,

I totally agree! The use of multi environments in general should become more user friendly in my opinion.

This would help.

Regards,

Devin

Is this problem solved by the new way of promoting semantic models in the portal or is this still a problem when not using the cloud based version of TimeXtender?

@Pepijn this problem is already solved in the most recent update of TimeXtender cloud version; when promoting you are able to select the datawarehouse instance the SSL connects to.

In the legacy TimeXtender version this problem has never existed because the semantic models were part of the project instead of being instances on their own.

Thanks @wouter.goslinga! Yes, as of TimeXtender SaaS Version 6505.1, when transferring a SSL instance you are presented with the following dialogue allowing you to select your mapped DWH Instance.
