Thanks @Anirban Basu-133546 , I did check this, but was wondering if there is specifically something on the semantic modeler and with more details. As this new feature changes a lot on the development process of rpd. And as rpd is primarly the most important part of any enterprise level OAC project.

In that case , I think then better to drop a mail to OAC PM - philippe.lions@oracle.com

They might be able to help in providing specific rpd related new features coming up .

So far, if I omit standard OAC documentation set , where is a book, dealing with Semantic Modeler: https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/paas/analytics-cloud/acmdg/index.html and couple of blogs , describing first expierience with Semantic Modeller (like https://www.rittmanmead.com/blog/2022/07/giving-oac-semantic-modeller-a-try/ or https://www.clearpeaks.com/breakthrough-in-cloud-bi-new-semantic-modeller-in-oac-oracle-analytics-cloud ), there isn't much info.T here are no official white papers and best practice docs (especially heading to area of multi user development connected with integration to Git - which is , I think, the major mind shift for all, working so far with separated metadata development in Administration Tool). I hope, that those missing information will soon come.

What kind of information are you looking for?

There isn't a detailed roadmap for semantic modeler made public yet.

The tool is in preview, it only supports a subset of physical sources (only relational) and still has some issues here and there. That's what a preview is for: have a look, give it a try, don't replace anything in your existing processes.

I wouldn't rush into getting Semantic Modeler in the loop and throwing the Model Administration Tool away, and remember you shouldn't jump from one to the other. You either use one or the other. That's what make it even more a preview thing.

It will probably get out of the preview phase by end of year or early next year when I expect to see it as part of the OAS 2023 release.

I wouldn't expect to move to the Semantic Modeler for full usage as replacement of Model Administration Tool before mid 2023 the earlier : you said it yourself, the RPD is way too important to take any risk with it because of a new tool.

Also, when you have an average/good knowledge and experience of the Model Administration Tool, you have chances to find the Semantic Modeler annoying and less productive (or requiring more time for the same job). You will find yourself clicking a lot for what was faster before. Also, the Semantic Modeler fully promote a physical > logical > presentation order of development, which is maybe not what you do as the presentation > logical > physical order of development also had a bunch of followers.

TL;DR : take your time, relax and just look around the Semantic Modeler for now, start imagining how your development processes should evolve to adapt to it, but no need to stress for a good number of months.

And, just in case, the PM for the Semantic Modeler isn't Philippe but Pravin.

Thanks @Gianni Ceresa , That answers my curiosity. Will wait for more info to come in the future.
