Creating a domain model by using a wizard

Use the New Domain Model wizard to create a domain model.
Before you begin
Prerequisites:

Domain model creation is only supported in InfoSphere Data Architect.

Before you create a domain model by using a wizard, you must create a data design project in the workbench.

About this task

To create a domain model by using a wizard:

  1. Click File > New > Domain Model from the main file menu. The New Domain Model wizard opens.
  2. Complete the steps of the wizard.

    You can create a blank logical model, or you can use one of the supplied templates. If you have previously created a domain model template that you want to use as the basis for this domain model, you can enable the template for selection by specifying the location of the template file in the Template folder field.

    If you select to add the domain model to the project properties, all of the domain data types in the model are available for selection when you are specifying data types for columns or attributes. After you create the domain model, you can similarly associate it with other data projects properties so that you can share the domain data types across multiple projects and team members.

Results
The domain model is created and displayed in the Data Models folder under the data design project that you specified in the Data Project Explorer. If you selected to add it to the data project properties, you can verify the association on the Domain References page of the Properties view for the data project.
