Use the New Domain Model wizard to create a domain model.
Before you begin
Domain model creation is only supported in
InfoSphere Data Architect.
Before you create a domain model
by using a wizard, you must create a data design project in the workbench.
Procedure
To create a domain model by using a wizard:
- Click from the main file
menu. The New Domain Model wizard opens.
- Complete the steps of the wizard.
You can
create a blank logical model, or you can use one of the supplied templates.
If you have previously created a domain model template that you want
to use as the basis for this domain model, you can enable the template
for selection by specifying the location of the template file in the Template
folder field.
If you select to add the domain model
to the project properties, all of the domain data types in the model
are available for selection when you are specifying data types for
columns or attributes. After you create the domain model, you can
similarly associate it with other data projects properties so that
you can share the domain data types across multiple projects and team
members.
Results
The domain model is created and displayed in the
Data
Models folder under the data design project that you specified
in the Data Project Explorer. If you selected to add it to the data
project properties, you can verify the association on the Domain References
page of the Properties view for the data project.
