Update Data Models Workflow

  1. Original documents are imported.

  2. Documents are harvested as part of import or through a synchronize operation.

  3. Documents are used to perform daily tasks until the database requires change.

  4. Use an Impact of Change report to identify the documents impacted by proposed changes.

  5. Create data models to update the impacted imported documents.

  6. Documents with replacement data models are harvested as part of import or through a synchronize operation.

  7. Transformation parameters are specified.

    1. Select an example document with a data model impacted by the database change.

    2. Select a replacement data model.

    3. The Impact Manager module displays all Interactive Reporting documents with a data model equivalent to the selection made in step 7a. This is the candidate document for transformation.

    4. A subset of the documents is selected and composed into a task that is queued for transformation.

  8. Transformation is applied to all documents of the Impact Manager task.

    1. Documents are retrieved from the repository.

    2. Transformation is performed.

    3. Transformed documents are reimported as new versions of the original documents.

  9. Documents are available for use against the new database definition.
