Establishing a Root Node Overview

Establishing a Root Node Overview

The root node is the uppermost node in the business entity model and defines the business entity type. When you create a business entity model, the first step is to create a root node.
After you establish the root node, you can configure the properties of the root node. After you create the root node, you can define the business entity model according to your business entity model.
You can also configure reference entities. Reference entities are business entities that are associated with lookup base objects. After you establish a lookup root node, you can then configure the properties for the lookup root node.
If you want to use business entities with
Data Director
, you can generate business entities from subject areas in the IDD Configuration Manager. Business entities created directly in the Provisioning tool do not work in
Data Director
.
If you do not use
Data Director
, but use business entity services as web services to directly access business entities, you can use business entities created in the Provisioning tool. You can also edit business entities already defined in your MDM schema.
