A risk model goes through various states in the IBM FCII Design Studio. When created, a model is in draft state, by
default. You can edit or modify the model in this state. When the model is complete and ready to
use, it is moved to a published state.
Stages of a model's lifecycle is as follows:
- When a model is created, it is in a new state. It is not yet saved to the system.
- When the model is saved, the first version (1.0) is created and saved in the system in a draft
state.
- When the draft model is edited and published, it moves to a published state. In the published
state, the model is available for use by backend applications.
- When a published model needs to be changed, a new version must be created and saved as draft.
The draft is then edited and moved to a published state, replacing the existing published
model.
- A model in the draft state can be deleted at any time.
