Transforming Business Entities and Views Overview

Transforming Business Entities and Views Overview

A business entity represents a comprehensive, universal definition of an entity for your organization. However, users and departments in your organization might only require a condensed version of the business entity. You can transform a business entity into a condensed version called a business entity view.
If
Data Director
or a web application reads from or writes to a business entity view, the read or write service performs the transformation. If you use business entity views in
Data Director
or a web application, you must configure business entity to view transformations for read operations, and view to business entity transformations for write events.
You can configure cleanse transformations to validate and cleanse the data during a transformation. You can also configure transformations to leverage DaaS to enrich the data in a business entity.
The following image shows two business entities transformed into two business entity views that have a simpler structure: A business entity view is based on the business entity definition.
To configure a business entity to business entity view, first create the business entity view, and then map the transformations. To create a business entity to a view, model the structure of the view. After you model the view, map the transformations from the business entity to the business entity view.
