Creating a Business Entity Root Node

Creating a Business Entity Root Node

To create a business entity model, the first step is to create the root node for the business entity. In this example, you want to create a
Person
business entity associated with the base object C_PARTY in the MDM schema.
  1. On the modeling page of the Provisioning tool, select
    Business Entities
    .
  2. Click
    Create
    .
    A new root node appears among the business entities.
  3. In the
    Name
    field, enter a name for the business entity.
    For example, enter
    Person
    .
    Avoid the use of spaces in business entity names.
  4. In the
    Label
    field, enter a display name for the business entity.
    For example, enter
    Person
    .
  5. Optionally, enter a description of the business entity.
  6. Optionally, enable the
    State Management Enabled
    check box.
    When this check box is enabled, the Repository Manager validation checks that all base objects in the business entity are enabled for state management, except referenced lookups.
  7. In the node properties panel, go to the
    Base Object
    field and select a base object from the MDM schema to associate with the business entity.
    For example, select the base object C_PARTY.
    The base objects are created in the MDM Hub before you add root nodes to the business entity.
  8. Click
    Apply
    .
    The changes are saved but are not published to the MDM Hub.
The following image shows an example of a Person business entity: A screenshot showing a node called "Person". The properties of the root node display in the node properties panel.
