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:
- In the Data Source Explorer view, right-click the Interoperability
Models folder and click . The New Extract Request Model wizard opens.
- On the Select a Project page, select the Optim project.
Click Next.
- On the Enter Extract Request Model Properties page, type DemoExtract in Extract
Request model name. Click Next.
- On the Select a Logical Data Model page, select OPTIMUSER.ldm.
Click Next.
- On the Select a Data Access Plan page, select Source
Plan. Click Next.
- On the Select a Platform page, select Distributed
(Linux, Unix, or Windows). Click Next.
- On the Enter Extract Request Properties page, do the following:
- In Identifier, type OPTDEMO.
- In Name, type CustomersExt.
- In Description, type Extract
customer data.
- Click Next.
- On the Enter Access Definition Properties page, type SAMPLE in DB
Alias, and accept the default Creator ID.
Click Next.
- On the Enter Extract Properties and Options page, type CustomersExtract.xf in Extract
file name and accept the default options. Click Next.
- On the Select Objects to Extract page, accept the defaults.
Click Next.
- 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.
