Import an .rpd or .zip File Into Your Semantic Model

Another developer can export a semantic model as an .rpd or .zip that you can upload into the semantic model on your Semantic Modeler environment. Or you can import an .rpd file that was exported from Model Administration Tool into the semantic model on your Semantic Modeler environment.

When you import an .rpd or .zip file, you can choose to replace all content or add content and replace matching objects in the semantic model on your environment.
If you import an .rpd file that was exported from Model Administration Tool and uses an ODBC Basic or ODBC Advanced connection, Semantic Modeler imports the connection as JDBC.
Oracle recommends that you use export and import to share files with other developers, but not for collaborative semantic model development. Exporting and importing a model creates a copy of the model, and developers who import the model aren't working on the same version of the model. For collaborative model development use permissions or Git. See About Collaborative Semantic Model Development.
