Data Archive internally employs a hierarchical structure for its components, and carries out all operations based on it. The Explorer pane shows the tree view of the components.
The following image shows the different levels in the hierarchical structure:
Application
Application Version
Application Module
Entity
Interim Tables
Business Tables
Nodes
The Explorer pane displays the following nodes:
Application
Custom or brand name ERP applications, such as Oracle E-Business Suite and PeopleSoft.
Application Version
Supported versions for a particular application.
Application Module
Schemas for an application version.
Entity
Group of tables whose data collectively comprise a set of business transactions. Each table in the entity connects to one or more other tables through a primary and foreign key relationship.
Interim Tables
Temporary tables generated for an entity during an archive.
Business Tables
All related tables created to define an entity. Business tables appear at the same level of the hierarchy as the interim table.
