Visualize the data model

Visualize the data model

A data model diagram can be created in Oracle Policy Modeling once you are happy with all of your base level attributes.

 

To create a data model diagram:

  1. In Oracle Policy Modeling, select View | Data Model. The data model view will open in the right hand pane.




    Each entity in the rulebase is displayed as a separate box with base-level and inferred attributes belonging to that entity displayed in the box.
    Relationships between entities are shown as connectors between the entity boxes: a bold connector indicates a containment relationship, a plain connector indicates a reference relationship, and a dashed connector indicates an inferred relationship.
    Relationship names are shown on the connector, including a reverse relationship name in brackets if defined.
    The relationship type is also shown (eg one-to-many, many-to-many, etc): 1 at the end of the connector indicates a 'to one' relationship, * indicates a 'to many' relationship.

  2. To save this diagram, right-click anywhere in this view and select Save...
  3. In the Save As dialog box specify a location to save the data model to. This process will save the data model diagram in a .wmf picture file format.
