How to Build an Instance-based Model

This task describes how to build an instance-based business CI model which can serve as the basis for a view.

  1. Create the New Model

    In the Modeling Studio, click New and select Instance Based Model to open the New Model dialog box. Select a CI type and enter the values for its properties. For details, see New Model Dialog Box.

    Note You cannot create an instance-based model with an already existing name.

  2. Add CIs to the Model Manually

    In the CI Selector, search for the CIs you want to include in your model. Select them and drag them into the model.

    Tip You can select more than one CI by holding the CTRL key while selecting CIs.

  3. Reveal CIs

    Select a CI in the model and reveal its related CIs along a reveal path. Add selected CIs from among the revealed CIs to your model. When you are done, save the model. For details, see Reveal CIs Dialog Box.

  4. Define Watchpoints for CIs in the Model

    Right-click a CI in the model and select Watchpoint > New Watchpoint. The New Watchpoint dialog box opens. Select a reveal path and click OK. A small icon appears next to the CI indicating that a watchpoint is defined for it. For details, see New Watchpoint Dialog Box.
