The settings in this group allow you to create a configuration used to display a data model. Additionally, any saved graph configurations are stored here.
Each record in the Configuration table specifies options for displaying a visual representation of a data model.
Property | Description |
|---|---|
Name | The name used by this configuration. |
Graph type | Determines whether this graph will be generated from an TIBCO EBX® data model (Schema), or from another data source (Custom). |
Publication mode | When the graph type is set to Schema, use this property to indicate whether the data model is embedded, or in a module. The Data model drop-down will then populate with available data models of the corresponding type. |
Data model | Specifies the data model the add-on uses to render the graph. |
Data source | Displays when graph type is set to Custom and must specify the fully qualified path to a Java class. |
Display in dataset | Determines whether this configuration is available when users display custom graphs from a dataset's Actions menu. |
Templates | Specifies the template applied to this configuration. Templates determine a graph's color and display options. |
Enable table selection | Determines whether users will have the option of selecting which tables display when generating this graph. |
You can use the Templates table to customize the look and feel of a data model graph.
Property | Description |
|---|---|
Name | The name used by this configuration. |
Table | Determines border, background, and text color for tables displayed in the graph. |
External table | Determines border, background, and text color for tables displayed in the graph that are located in a different dataset. |
Tooltip | Specifies the background and text color for tooltips. |
| Link | Sets the color for links between tables and for link labels. |
| Synchronization | If a data model related to a saved graph has been updated, the add-on can indicate where and what type of changes were made. Updated graphs highlight new items in green, changed items in blue, and deleted items in red. |
Highlight color | Determines the color of links and box borders when moused, or hovered over. |
| Display options | This group allows you to display/hide the following graph components:
|
The Preferences group stores information when users save a graph layout. Note that the descriptions for this group are for informational purposes only as records are automatically updated by the add-on after saving a graph. This group includes the following tables:
Each record in this table represent a graph that has been saved by a user.
Property | Description |
|---|---|
Name | The name used by this saved graph configuration. |
Data model | The data model represented by this graph. |
User profile | The user profile that created this graph. |
Publication mode | Specifies whether the graph was generated from an embedded data model or one from a module. |
Graph configuration | The configuration used for this graph. |
Position X | Horizontal position of the graph's root table. |
Position Y | Vertical position of the graph's root table. |
Scale | Indicates the graph's scale. |
Shared Policy | Lists the profiles with whom this graph has been shared. |
Description | The saved graph's description. |
Each record in this table registers the nodes (tables and group of tables) displayed in a saved graph.
Property | Description |
|---|---|
Node path | Corresponds to the path of the table or table group in the data model. |
Saved graph | Indicates the graph where this node is located. |
Label | The label of the table or group of tables as defined in the DMA. |
Is external | Indicates whether the node is in the current, or an external dataset. |
Is root node | Indicates whether this table is considered the graph's root node. A root node is positioned in the center of the graph and used to compute the location of other nodes. |
Is hidden | Indicates whether the node is visible, or hidden in the saved graph. |
Width | Width of the node. |
Height | Height of the node. |
Position X | Horizontal position of the node. |
Position Y | Vertical position of the node. |
Is expanded | When the node is a group of tables, this value indicates whether the a save was performed in the expanded, or collapsed state. |
Node specification group | |
Node path | Corresponds to the table, or table group path. |
Dataspace | When referring to an external node, this property corresponds to its containing dataspace. |
Dataset | When referring to an external node, this property corresponds to its containing dataset. |
Is group field | Indicates whether this is a group field. |
Each record in this table registers the fields and group of fields related to the tables in the saved graph.
Property | Description |
|---|---|
Property path | Corresponds to the path of the field or group of fields. |
Node | Path to the corresponding node. This is the table in the saved graph that contains this property. |
Label | The property's label as defined in the DMA. |
Data type | Indicates the property's data type. |
| Is expanded | When the property is a group of fields or a complex data type, this value indicates whether the a save was performed in the expanded, or collapsed state. |
Is hidden | Indicates whether the node is visible, or hidden when the graph was saved. |
Parent | Indicates the path of this property's parent. |
Element type | Displays the property's type (PK, FK, field, or group of fields). |
Is inherited | Indicates whether the field values are inherited from another field. |
Inherited from | Corresponds to the field path from which this field inherits. |
Is computed | Indicates whether the field values are computed from other values. |
Cardinality | Indicates the number of occurrences of a property within a table. |
Node Specification group | Corresponds to the specification of the property. |
Node path | Corresponds to the table, or table group path. |
Dataspace | When referring to an external node, this property corresponds to its containing dataspace. |
Dataset | When referring to an external node, this property corresponds to its containing dataset. |
