5 Subscriber Entity Configuration

A subscriber entity configuration (SEC) is a database that contains an XML data model used for processing subscriber data. A data model defines which XML elements are allowed in an entity and defines how these elements relate to one another.

The SEC defines the type and format of the data that can be stored and processed in the subscriber profile repository. The SEC comprises the pre-configured entities that come with the system as well as any user-defined entities.

The Subscriber Entity Configuration menu options allow you to add, edit, and delete entities; change entity attributes; define and change transparent entity structure; and perform mappings between entities and interface entities. Changes implemented from these menu options are written to the SEC and take effect immediately.

The options that appear on this menu vary based on the type of server you are logged into and the permissions assigned to your group. If you do not see the menu option you need, make sure you are logged into the appropriate type of server and ask your administrator to make sure the group your user ID belongs to has the appropriate permissions.
