Realizing Conceptual Model Entities
The first time that you realize a conceptual model entity, you must manually enter the data required by the design pattern. The design pattern prompts you for the information it requires to realize the selected entity and to build out the application configuration in the workspace. After you run the design pattern once, Design Studio saves the values that you supply in a synchronization record. It uses these values to re-run the design pattern automatically, if you have defined the conceptual model entity to run automatically.
Note:
Configuration generated by Design Studio on realized entities is overwritten when you re-run an associated design pattern.
See "Renaming Conceptual Model Entities and Realized Application Entities" for information about renaming conceptual model entities after you have realized application entities.
To realize conceptual model entities:
-
In the Solution view, right-click a conceptual model entity and select Synchronized Realization, and then select Run Realization Design Pattern.
The design pattern that you specified for the entity (on the conceptual model entity editor Properties tab) appears.
-
Complete the information required by the wizard, then click Finish.
Design Studio creates the appropriate configuration in your workspace and saves the design pattern values in a synchronization record. Design Studio uses the values in the synchronization record to re-rerun the design pattern automatically (if you have defined the conceptual model entity to run automatically) and to synchronize the conceptual model entity and the realized application entity.
After Design Studio generates the realization, it adds the realized entity to the Solution view as a child of the conceptual model entity. Double-click the realized entity to open and modify the entity in the appropriate editor.
Note:
Changes that you make to realized entities are not propagated to the associated conceptual model entity. Oracle recommends that, when changes are required, you make changes to the conceptual model entity and then re-run the design pattern to update the realized entity.
