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.
On the modeling page of the Provisioning tool, select
Business Entities
.
Click
Create
.
A new root node appears among the business entities.
In the
Name
field, enter a name for the business entity.
For example, enter
Person
.
Avoid the use of spaces in business entity names.
In the
Label
field, enter a display name for the business entity.
For example, enter
Person
.
Optionally, enter a description of the business entity.
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.
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.
Click
Apply
.
The changes are saved but are not published to the MDM Hub.
