Process to Use Rule-Based Links for Models

You can use rule-based links to create linking rules for a pair of models.
To create linking rules for a pair of models, complete the following steps:
  1. Create a rule set definition file.
    Configure the rule set in the file. Also define parameters for connections, packages, and string literals that are specific to the source or target resource.
  2. Upload the rule set definition file to the source model or the target model on the
    Model
    tab.
    When you upload the file, Metadata Manager creates the rule set definition in the Metadata Manager repository. Metadata Manager associates the rule set definition with the models that you specify in the rule set definition file.
  3. For each pair of resources to which you want to apply the rule set definition, create a rule set parameter file.
    Specify the source resource and the target resource in the file. Also specify a value for each parameter that you define in the rule set definition file.
  4. Upload the rule set parameter file to the source resource or the target resource on the
    Load
    tab.
    When you upload the file, Metadata Manager creates the rule set in the Metadata Manager repository with the same name as the rule set parameter name. Metadata Manager associates the rule set with the resources that you specify in the rule set parameter file.
  5. Link the objects in the resources by completing one of the following tasks:
    • Load the resources. The load process uses the rules to create the links between matching objects.
    • Use the
      Resource Link Administration
      window in the
      Load
      tab to create the links. If you loaded the resources, direct Metadata Manager to use the rules to create the links between matching objects.
