Creating a data design project

In this exercise, you will create a data design project in which to store your data models and definitions.

Before you create data models or other definitions, you must create a data design project in which to store your objects. You can store various types of objects in a data design project including data models, data management service definitions, and interoperability services.

To create a data design project:

  1. From the main menu, click File > New > Data Design Project. The New Data Design Project wizard opens.
  2. In the Project Name field, type Optim, then click Finish.

    If the Open Associated Perspective popup is displayed, click No. You will use the default Optim™ perspective.

    The Optim project is displayed in the Data Project Explorer.

  3. Expand the Optim project in the Data Project Explorer to view the contents of the project.
