Modifying the Data Model

Depending on the requirements of your company, you can modify the data model. You can modify the data model by adding a new repository, a new relationship, adding or removing attributes from a repository, and so on.

For example, consider the scenario where you want to modify the Party model template.

Procedure

  1. Add a new attribute in the Address repository - Street4
  2. Add a new datasource attribute - Email.ds
  3. Add a new input map in the Email repository - Email_InputMap
  4. Add a new Synchronization format - EmailSyncFormat
  5. Add a new output map in the Email repository - Email_OutputMap
  6. Open the sample Party model project in TIBCO MDM Studio. The Project Explorer with sample Party model is displayed.
  7. Select the Address repository and define a new attribute Street4. For more information on defining attributes, refer to TIBCO MDM Studio Repository Designer User’s Guide.
  8. Create a new datasource, such as Email.ds. For more information on creating a datasource, refer to TIBCO MDM Studio Repository Designer User’s Guide.
  9. Create a new inputmap, such as Email_InputMap. For more information on creating input maps, refer to TIBCO MDM Studio Repository Designer User’s Guide.
  10. Create a synchronization format, such as EmailSynchFormat. For more information on creating synchronization format, refer to TIBCO MDM Studio Repository Designer User’s Guide.
  11. Create a new output map, such as Email_OutputMap. For more information on creating output maps, refer to TIBCO MDM Studio Repository Designer User’s Guide.
  12. After you modify the data model, it must be deployed on the TIBCO MDM server. Create a new deployment server.
  13. Enter the following parameters:
    • Base URL - For example, https://mdm.cloud.tibco.com/user1tibco.com/Env_1.
    • Enterprise- For example, Company1
    • User Name- For example, admin
    • Password- For example, admin
  14. Click Test Connection to test whether the newly created server connection is established.
  15. Deploy the modified data model in the TIBCO MDM server.
  16. From the TIBOC Cloud MDM Console, click the TIBOC MDM Server URL. The TIBCO MDM server page is displayed.
