Creating and Administering the Business Model and Mapping Layer in a Repository

This section is part of the Process of setting up a repository. For more information, see Process of Setting Up a Repository.

After creating all of the elements of the Physical layer, you can drag and drop tables and columns from the Physical layer to the Business Model and Mapping (logical) layer. For more information about creating the Physical Layer, see Creating and Administering the Physical Layer in a Repository.

The Business Model and Mapping layer of the Administration Tool defines the business, or logical, model of the data and specifies the mapping between the business model and the Physical layer schemas.

You create one or more business models in the logical layer and create logical tables and columns in each business model. To automatically map objects in the Business Model and Mapping layer to sources in the Physical layer, you can drag and drop Physical layer objects to a business model in the logical layer. When you drag a physical table to the Business Model and Mapping layer, a corresponding logical table is created. For each physical column in the table, a corresponding logical column is created. If you drag multiple tables at once, a logical join is created for each physical join, but only the first time the tables are dragged onto a new business model.

See the following topics for information about creating the business model and logical objects:
