Parameter Name Description Type Values Default Scope
OLAP Model File When an OLAP Model is currently loaded in Essbase Integration Services:

1. Choose 'XML Import/Export...' from the 'File' menu.
2. Click on the 'Export' tab.
3. Select the OLAP Model you are interested in exporting.
4. Type the file name you are saving in the 'Export file name' text box
5. Click on the button labeled 'Save As XML File'.

This bridge will use the generated XML file as input.
FILE *.xml   Mandatory

1. Choose 'XML Import/Export...' from the 'File' menu.
2. Click on the 'Export' tab.
3. Select the Metaoutline you are interested in exporting.
4. Type the file name you are saving in the 'Export file name' text box
5. Click on the button labeled 'Save As XML File'.

This bridge will use the generated XML file as input.
FILE *.xml    
Data model table design level This option controls the design level of the imported tables.

It is particularly relevant when exporting metadata to a target tool which supports two views of the model: a logical view and a physical view.

Some Data Modeling tools support this concept, where you can decide if a table appears both as a physical table and as a logical entity.

Some Business Intelligence tools also support this concept, where you can decide if a table appears both in the physical model and in the business view of the model.

'Logical and physical'
If you would like the tables to appear both in the logical view and in the physical view of the model.

'Physical'
If you would like tables to appear only in the physical view of the model.
