Prepare the ORS and the IDD Application

Prepare the ORS and the IDD Application

Ensure that your Operational Reference Store (ORS) and the IDD application meet the requirements for business entities.
The following table describes the requirements:
Area of Impact
Requirement
Description
Hierarchy entity base object
Foreign key relationships must map to a CODE column
If a foreign key maps to another type of column, remap it to a CODE column.
History
Preserve the field order of the subject area layout
When you generate a business entity schema for subject area the original field order from IDD Data View is not retained. To retain the original field order you must configure the
cmx.server.sa2be.sort
 parameter.
  1. Go to
    <MDM installation directory>/hub/server/resources
    .
  2. Open the
    cmxserver.properties
     file.
  3. Set
    cmx.server.sa2be.sort=true
    .
  4. Restart the application server for the changes to take effect.
Subject area names (special characters)
No underscores or other special characters in names
If some subject area names contain the underscore character or special characters, rename the subject areas to remove the underscore.
Child-level subject area names (character case)
Preserve case
If the child-level subject area names contain uppercase characters, preserve the case by adding
com.siperian.dsapp.mde.common.idd2cocs.Many2ManyChild.name.version=10.2
 in the
cmxserver.properties
 file.
Validation
The IDD application based on subject areas must be valid.
In the IDD Configuration Manager, validate the IDD application and resolve any errors.
