A free model is a Source System that is not connected through an Integration Adapter. A free model is typically an OLAP system that already exists before CXO-Cockpit was implemented.
A free model has the following characteristics:
- It needs to match the CXO-Cockpit Dimension requirements.
- If it does not match these requirements, dimensions need to be split.
- Dimensions need to mapped.
- A Period Frequency table has to be setup in order for CXO-Cockpit to understand the period structure.
- Security Filters might need to be applied to hide irrelevant parts of the model.
