The Build Model job entry can be used to create Data Source Wizard data sources, which includes both a Metadata and a Mondrian model. It works by searching upstream for a table output step to base the model on.  Once you have run this job entry, a Data Source Wizard data model is created and can be published to the BA Server for the creation of Analysis reports in the Pentaho User Console. Business users will also be able to refine the data model with the Data Model Editor.
