Chapter 10 Business Object Modeler Tasks : Business Object Model Definition

Business Object Model Definition
The business object model is where you define in business terms the Classes, Attributes, Primitive Types, Operations, Associations, and so on that describe your business.
Creating an Analysis Project with a Business Object Model
1.
Select File > New > Project.
2.
In the New Project dialog, select Analysis Project or BPM Developer Project, and click Next.
3.
Enter a Project name and click Next.
This accepts default values for ID, Location, Version, Status and Destination Environments. For more details about these fields and about the New Project dialog, see the TIBCO Business Studio Modeling User’s Guide.
4.
In the Asset Type Selection dialog, you can see that Business Objects is selected. Select any other Asset Types you want to include in your Project. Click Next.
5.
The Business Object Model dialog is displayed. (Depending on what options you selected at the previous dialog, you may see other dialogs first, for example to configure the organization model.)
By default the Create initial Business Object Model field is checked and the Business Object Model (no profile) radio button is selected. Accept these defaults. (If you want to create a Concept Model, select that radio button instead. See Adding a Child Diagram to a Business Object Model for more about concept models.). Click Finish.
6.
If you are not already in the Modeling perspective, you are prompted to switch to it. Click Yes to switch perspective.
7.
Creating a Business Object Model in an Existing Project
Alternatively, you can create a business object model in an existing project. To do so, carry out the following instructions:
1.
In the Project Explorer, right-click the Business Objects folder and select New > Business Object Model.
2.
Click Finish on this dialog to create a business object model with default settings. Click Next to modify the default project settings and create a business object model using a template, or a concept model. Select a template from those available and click Finish.
