Creating a New Entity

The way that you create a new entity varies based on the nature of the transaction that uses the entity. For example, if the entity is used as part of a Constituent Transaction Management transaction, the entity you create needs to be set with an entity type that uses stage records and production records. Those records need to be created prior to creating the entity. While these specificities are described in the features’ related documentation, this section describes the generic steps that need to be taken independently from the transactions that use the entity.

This section discusses how to:

• Create or extend stage records.

• Create an entity application class.

• Create an entity.

• Generate XSD schemas.

• Set up or verify the Campus Solutions SOA framework.

• Set up logging.
