Properties files are created and managed in Oracle Policy Modeling. They are the only file type that allows for persistence of the associated data.
Every project should have at least one properties file. This file should contain all the property information for the attributes in the project. This file should also contain all of the data about entities and relationships in the project. It is recommended that this file is named 'Properties' for consistency across projects. It should be created in the Properties folder in Oracle Policy Modeling.
In Oracle Policy Modeling, select the Propertiesfolder in the Project Explorer.
Right-click and select Add
New Properties File. A new properties file will be added to your project. The new file will
be selected and highlighted in the list.
Type a name for your properties file, for example, "Properties".
Save your project by selecting File
| Save All from the main menu in Oracle Policy Modeling.
Modify a properties file
To make changes to a properties file:
In Oracle Policy Modeling, double-click the properties file in the Project Explorer. The file will open in the right hand pane.
Double-click on any item (eg an attribute, an entity, a relationship) to edit it.
Save your project by selecting File
| Save All from the main menu in Oracle Policy Modeling.
Delete a properties file
To delete a properties file:
In the Project Explorer in Oracle Policy Modeling, right-click the properties file and select Delete.
Click OK to confirm the permanent deletion.
TIP: To only remove the file from your Oracle Policy Modeling project (but not delete it from your file system as well), right-click it in Oracle Policy Modeling and select Remove from Project.
