Create New Entity/Relationship Object

In the

dialog box, select

, and then click

In the

Create New Entity Base Object

dialog box, specify the following properties for the entity base object:

Field	Description
Item type	Base object. Read-only.
Display name	Name of this base object that the Hub Console displays.
Physical name	Actual name of the table in the database. Informatica MDM Hub will suggest a physical name for the table based on the display name that you enter. The row ID is generated and assigned by the system, but the BO Class Code is created by the user, making it easier to remember.
Data tablespace	Name of the data tablespace. Default is CMX_DATA.
Index tablespace	Name of the index tablespace. Default is CMX_INDX.
Load tablespace	Name of the load tablespace. Default is CMX_DATA.
User Temporary Tablespace	Name of the user temporary tablespace. Default is CMX_USER_TEMP.
Description	Description of the entity base object. Optional.
Secure Resource	Determines the status of the base object in the Secure Resources tool. If enabled, the status of the base object is Secure. If disabled, the status of the base object is Private. Default is enabled.
Foreign Key column for Entity Types	Foreign Key column for the entity type. If Row ID Object, foreign key relationship is based on a Row ID that the MDM Hub generates. If BO Class Object, the foreign key relationship is based on a code that you define. Default is Row ID Object.
Display name	The name of the column that the Hub Console displays.
Physical name	The name of the foreign key column in the entity base object. The Hub Console suggests a physical name for the column based on the display name that you enter.

Click

The MDM Hub creates the entity base object with the columns that Hierarchy Manager requires.

Use the

Schema

tool to add columns to the entity base object. Do not modify the foreign key columns that the Hierarchy Manager uses. If you modify the foreign key columns Hierarchy Manager might not perform as expected and you can lose data.
