Referencing New Base Types for Unresolved Data Elements

When you must manually resolve references that Design Studio cannot automatically resolve, you can reference new base types for multiple unresolved element references in entities, groups of entities, and projects.

For example, when working in the Studio Projects view, you can resolve all unresolved data elements in all Order entities that appear in a project's Order folder.

Note:

A data element is considered unresolved when Design Studio can no longer automatically resolve the reference to its base type. For example, if data element A in an Order entity references (as the base type) data element B in a model project data schema, and if element B is moved or deleted, data element A is considered unresolved.

To reference new base types for unresolved data elements:

From the Solution view context menu or from the Studio Projects view context menu, select and right-click:
- A Project entity (any Project entity other than an Environment Project entity)
- An Order entity
- A Mapping Rule entity
- Any entity that can contribute to the Data Dictionary
- Any folder that contains groups of entities that can contribute to the Data Dictionary
The context menu appears.
Do one of the following:
- If you are working in the Solution view, select Refactoring and then select Resolve Node.
- If you are working in the Studio Projects view, select Resolve Node.
The Resolve Studio Model Elements dialog box appears.
Note:

The Resolve Node menu option is not available when you select:
- An OSM project with any other type of project.
- An OSM Order entity or a Mapping Rule entity with any other entity. For example, the menu option is not available if you select one Order entity and one Data Schema entity, or if you select one Mapping Rule entity and one Data Schema entity.
- Any combination that includes an OSM Order entity and a Mapping Rule entity.
(Optional) In the Name field, enter the name or the partial name of an entity and click the Filter button.

Design Studio filters the table to include only those elements that meet the filter criteria.
Select an entity in the table.
In the Type field, click Select.

The Select Source Element to Resolve dialog box appears.
Select a new base element from the list.

If a base element does not appear in the list, you may need to deselect the Filter Project Dependencies option.
Click OK.

The new base type appears in the Type column.
(Optional) Select another entity in the table, click Select in the Type field and select a new base type.

Repeat these steps until you select base types for all unresolved elements in the table.
Click Finish.
