Class Metadata – Business Model Objects
| Parameter | Applicable To Archetype | Values |
|---|---|---|
| Denormalize | Moment – Interval (BO)
Party, Place, Thing (BO) Role (BO) |
True: the class will be materialized and the referenced Description classes will be merged to the materialized table. Classes that are accessed often and that are described by a large number of Description classes benefit from denormalization. False: the class will be published without normalization. Not implemented. |
| Identifying key | All (BO) | A list of class properties (attributes and opposite association ends) that define the unique key. The order of the items will define the order in which they appear in the hash calculation. This can be empty if: – the class has a single attribute marked as Business key, or – there is no combination of attributes that uniquely identify instances of this class |
| Implement | All (BO) | True: the class will be part of the automation process False: the class will be ignored during automation |
| Key type | Moment – Interval (BO)
Party, Place, Thing (BO) Role (BO) |
Business key: the class will be represented by a hub Primary key: the class will be represented by a link |
| Materialization
(3.2.0 +) |
All (BO) | Yes: Class view will be materialized
No: Class view will not be materialized Automatic:Materialize if class’ Volume is High or more, or if the class is part of a transformation (for example, directly used as source in a mapping to a BO class, or as part of a transformation path in such a mapping). |
| Publishing Implementation | All (BO) | Manual: The implementation (view or table) will need to manually edited once it has been installed once
Automated: The implementation (view or table) will always be installed, over the previous installation. |
| Volume | Moment – Interval (BO)
Party, Place, Thing (BO) Role (BO) |
Very Low, Low, Medium, High, Very High.
Currently this is used to determine whether a class’ view should be materialized. It is assumed that a High Volume class needs materializaton to be efficiently queried. |
