Creating an Optim interoperability model for Linux, UNIX, or Windows

In this exercise, you will create an Optim™ interoperability model for use on a Linux, UNIX, or Windows platform. The type of model you will create is an extract request model. Optim interoperability models allow you to conveniently create, modify, and run Optim definitions from Optim Designer.

To create an extract request model for Linux, UNIX, or Windows:

  1. In the Data Source Explorer view, right-click the Interoperability Models folder and click New > Extract Request Model. The New Extract Request Model wizard opens.
  2. On the Select a Project page, select the Optim project. Click Next.
  3. On the Enter Extract Request Model Properties page, type DemoExtract in Extract Request model name. Click Next.
  4. On the Select a Logical Data Model page, select OPTIMUSER.ldm. Click Next.
  5. On the Select a Data Access Plan page, select Source Plan. Click Next.
  6. On the Select a Platform page, select Distributed (Linux, Unix, or Windows). Click Next.
  7. On the Enter Extract Request Properties page, do the following:
    1. In Identifier, type OPTDEMO.
    2. In Name, type CustomersExt.
    3. In Description, type Extract customer data.
    4. Click Next.

  8. On the Enter Access Definition Properties page, type SAMPLE in DB Alias, and accept the default Creator ID. Click Next.
  9. On the Enter Extract Properties and Options page, type CustomersExtract.xf in Extract file name and accept the default options. Click Next.
  10. On the Select Objects to Extract page, accept the defaults. Click Next.
  11. On the Enter Group Select Options page, accept the defaults. Click Finish.

The new extract request model, DemoExtract, will appear under the Interoperability Models folder. The request will extract data defined in the source OPTIMUSER logical data model and store it in the CustomersExtract.xf extract file. The request will use the Source Plan data access plan to determine which data to select from the OPTIMUSER logical data model.
