Updating a Model

With Unica Open Insights, you receive a data model that you can integrate with Google Looker to visualize the data. If you have received an updated model, from Unica support or as part of a Hotfix, you can update the data model in the existing release without waiting for a Unica Open Insights upgrade.

Before you begin

We recommend you configure your own Git repository to maintain the models. Optionally, you can choose to use Looker provided bare_model repository.
Note: If you use the bare_model repository, delete the existing model and replace the new model.
