Adding new extension
If needed you can add new extension under the Interoperability_Hierarchy.
Procedure
- Create a secondary spec if not available. All extensions have a secondary spec (Example - ExtensionName_Extension_Attribute_Spec) available in the data model.
- Create a lookup table with same name as that of the new extension added in the
Interoperability Hierarchy. This is not mandatory, but helps identify which Lookup and extension
association.
- Use the Flexi_Attributes_Spec when new lookup is created. The
Flexi_Attributes_Spec has following attributes:
- Name
- Name of the attribute (not the full path) present in the secondary spec of the associated extension.
- Flexi_Type
- For each attribute present in the extension spec, you must check the Data Type column in the IM 8.11 Data Source 1WS XML Guide to identify the value for this attribute.
- isRdd
- Always set the value to
false.
- Create all the entries of the attribute present in the secondary spec of the
associated extension in the Lookup table. While adding the entries in the Lookup table if there are attributes that have same name, you must add the full path of the attribute as an entry.
- Use the Flexi_Attributes_Spec when new lookup is created. The
Flexi_Attributes_Spec has following attributes:
- Create an entry in the
Interoperability_AttrGroup_Lookuplookup.- Interoperability Spec Name
- Add the secondary spec name associated with the extension.
- Example
- ExtensionName_Extension_Attribute_Spec
- Interoperability Name
- Extension name from the Interoperability_Hierarchy.
- IsGlobal
- Set the value to
false. - Interoperability Lookup Name
- Name of the Lookup table created for this extension in the Step 2.
