Implementing Conceptual Models
The following procedure describes how to create a conceptual model in Design Studio and implement it in a run-time environment.
Note:
Before implementing conceptual models, you must first:
-
Generate the Common Model Base Data project into your workspace. See "Generating the Common Model Base Data Project" for more information.
-
Import any existing products. See "Importing Products" for more information.
-
Complete product-to-service mapping. See "Working with Mapping Rules" for more information.
When implementing conceptual models, you:
-
Create a Model project to contain the conceptual model.
See "Creating Model Projects" for more information.
-
Define a dependency between the Model project and the Common Model Base Data project.
See "Managing Project Dependencies" for more information.
-
Design the conceptual model.
See "Designing Conceptual Models" for more information.
-
Realize the conceptual model.
See "Realizing Conceptual Model Entities into Application Entities" for more information.
-
Synchronize the conceptual model entities and application entities throughout the design cycle.
See "Synchronizing Conceptual Model Entities with Application Entities" for more information.
-
Build and package the application projects that contain the realized application entities.
See "Building and Packaging Projects" for more information.
-
Deploy the application projects to a run-time environment.
See "Deploying Cartridge Projects" for more information.
