Chapter 10 Business Object Modeler Tasks : UML Profiles

UML Profiles
You can apply UML profiles that have been created elsewhere to your business object model. Once your UML profile is available to your business object model, you can use it to apply stereotypes to the various business objects in your business object model.
Applying a UML Profile to a Business Object Model
1.
To use an existing UML profile, copy the file that contains the UML profile to your Business Objects folder in the Project Explorer. The UML profile is displayed as follows:
2.
Select the Properties View for the Model or Package that you want to apply a UML profile to.
3.
Select the Profiles tab.
4.
Click to display the Select Type dialog. To display a list of the available profiles you can apply to the Package, type ? in the Select Type(s) field. A list of the available profiles is displayed.
5.
From the Matching Items box, select a profile and click .
6.
Click OK to close the dialog.
 
Applying Stereotypes
You can apply stereotypes to all the business objects in your business object model. You can apply as many UML profiles to a model or Package as you require. You can apply the UML profile to the business object model or Package first, or it can be applied automatically when you apply a stereotype to an object.
The UML profile must exist in the BOM Special Folder (normally the Business Objects folder for your project). The Select Type(s) dialog used to apply stereotypes will then display all the available stereotypes in that profile. If you select a stereotype from a profile that has not yet been applied to the business object model or Package, the profile will automatically be applied when you click OK to apply a stereotype.
To apply stereotypes to the individual business objects:
1.
In your business object model, select the Properties View for the business object that you want to apply stereotypes to.
2.
Click the Stereotypes tab.
3.
Click to display the Select Type(s) dialog. To display a list of the available stereotypes that you can apply, type ? in the Select Type(s) field.
4.
From the Matching Items box, select a stereotype and click .
5.
Click OK to close the dialog.
6.
To edit your stereotypes, select the Properties View for the diagram node which has the stereotype applied to it and click the Resource tab. The Stereotype is displayed in the Resource tab.
