datamodel

Description

Examine data model or data model dataset and search a data model dataset.

Use the datamodel command to return the JSON for all or a specified data model and its datasets. You can also search against the specified data model dataset.

A data model is a hierarchically-structured search-time mapping of semantic knowledge about one or more datasets. A data model encodes the domain knowledge necessary to build a variety of specialized searches of those datasets. These specialized searches are in turn used by the search to generate reports for Pivot users. For more information, see About data models and Design data models in the Knowledge Manager Manual.

The datamodel search command lets you search existing data models and their datasets from the search interface.

The datamodel command is a generating command and should be the first command in the search. Generating commands use a leading pipe character.
