Moving target models between Data Analysis projects

You can move similar target models from one Data Analysis project to another.

Before you begin

Create and populate a target model. See Creating a target model and Populating a target model from your sample XML documents.
Note: Save your target model before you move it to another Data Analysis project.
Create an additional Data Analysis project. See Creating a Data Analysis project.

About this task

You might want to use a target model in another Data Analysis project than the one in which it was created. Complete the following steps to move your target model to an alternative Data Analysis project:

Procedure

In the Application Development view, copy and paste your target model to the alternative Data Analysis project.
Double-click your target model.
- If the target model is not compatible with the Data Analysis project that you moved it to, the Compatibility Check Result window opens.
- If the target model is compatible, the Link Model window opens.
Important: To make an incompatible target model compatible with the new Data Analysis project, delete some target model elements in the Compatibility Check Result window. The more incompatible a target model is, the more elements are deleted. If a target model has no elements that are compatible with the new target model, then all of its elements are deleted.
Complete the steps in the Compatibility Check Result or Link Model window.
Your target model is linked to the alternative Data Analysis project.

Results

The relocated target model opens in the Target Model editor.

What to do next

Modify the target model. See Modifying a target model in the Target Model editor.
