Extend an existing entity in the existing Content Pack

In this scenario the main goal is to add more fields of the existing entity.

The approach is the following:

  1. Use the existing Integration and Source (the required product version) content packs.
  2. Model the new target entity and link it to the OOTB target entities using the Target Extension link.

    Note Make sure the name of the new entity includes the suffix _CSTM.

  3. Model the new Integration and Source entity
  4. Generate the ETL without creating the new content pack (just the delta is generated).

    1. Only new entity artifacts are used (not the whole content pack) for both Core and Product content packs and merged with existing CP directories in the ITBA content packs directory.
