Creating Entity, Relationship, and FK Relationship Object Packages

To create an HM package:

In the Hierarchies tool, right-click anywhere in the navigation pane and choose

Create New Package

Acquire a write lock.

The Hierarchies tool starts the Create New Package wizard and displays the first dialog box.

Specify the following information for this new package.

Field	Description
Type of Package	One of the following types: Entity Object Relationship Object FK Relationship Object
Query Group	Select an existing query group or choose to create a new one. In Informatica MDM Hub , query groups are logical groups of queries. Select the query group under which the query is organized.
Query group name	Name of the new query group - only needed if you chose to create a new group above.
Description	Optional description for the new query group you are creating.

Click

The Create New Package wizard displays the next dialog box.

Specify the following information for this new package.

Field	Description
Query Name	Name of the query. In Informatica MDM Hub , a query is a request to retrieve data from the Hub Store.

Click

The Create New Package wizard displays the next dialog box.

Specify the following information for this new package.

Field	Description
Display Name	Display name for this package, which will be used to display this package in the Packages tool.
Physical Name	Physical name for this package. The Hub Console will suggest a physical name based on the display name you entered.
Description	Optional description.
Enable PUT	Select to enable records to be inserted or changed. (optional) If you do not choose this, your package will be read only. If you are creating a foreign key relationship object package, you have additional steps in Step 9 of this procedure. Note: You must have both a PUT and a non-PUT package for every Foreign Key relationship. Both Put and non-Put packages that you create for the same foreign key relationship object must have the same columns.
Secure Resource	Select to create a secure resource. (optional)

Click

The Create New Package wizard displays a final dialog box. The dialog box you see depends on the type of package you are creating.

If you selected to create either a package for entities or relationships or a PUT package for FK relationships, a dialog box similar to the following dialog box is displayed. The required columns (shown in grey) are automatically selected — you cannot deselect them.

Deselect the columns that are not relevant to your package.

You must have both a PUT and a non-PUT package for every Foreign Key relationship. Both Put and non-Put packages that you create for the same foreign key relationship object must have the same columns.

If you selected to create a non-Put enabled package for foreign key relationships (see Step 7 of this procedure - do not check the Put check box), the following dialog box is displayed.

If you are creating a non-Put enabled package for foreign key relationships, specify the following information for this new package.

Field	Description
Hierarchy	Hierarchy associated with this package.
Relationship Type	Relationship type associated with this package.

Select the columns for this new package.
