Once you have processed a semantic model, you may want to modify the entities, partition strategy, or aggregation strategy in the design. For example, you may want to add new columns (dimension, measure, etc.) as per the business requirements, or you may want to remove entities as suggested by the Kyvos recommendation engine to improve the semantic model and query performance or/and reduce associated costs, and other such scenarios. To minimize the impact and cost of rebuilding semantic models on every modification, Kyvos allows you to update the following without requiring a full process.

Note

It is recommended to use the Validate design and its impact on subsequent builds builds link on the semantic model designer and validate design after changing the semantic model design and saving the design.

You can revert changes using the manage semantic model build instances feature.

Exceptions

The following table provides information on the specific scenarios, designs, and modifications that will require a full semantic model reprocess.

 

Addition

Deletion

Other Settings

Measure

  • Distinct Count 

  • Semi-Additive

  • Measure addition from a source dataset that was not already used in the semantic model to create a measure

NOTE:

  • From Kyvos 2023.2 onwards, the reprocessing of the semantic model is necessary only when you choose the Accurate distinct count option. 

  • The reprocessing of the semantic model is not necessary when opting for the Approximate distinct count. This requirement applies exclusively when the semantic model's compatibility version is 3.

All measures for a fact table


  • Accuracy Type

  • Mutually exclusive values checkbox (Boundary Distinct Count)

Attribute

  • Star to snowflake

  • Dimension which does not have any existing attribute

  • Attribute having the same name as a deleted attribute in the same dimension

Not supported
