Preference on the design facets

The various facets provide a specific modeling of the application data. An abstract facet named kernel serves as a link to the concrete facets in which you handle your data. The editors of each facet are adapted to each specific model.

Active facets
The following facets are available by default:
  • Pacbase. This facet provides all the Pacbase entities and enables you to edit them in their dedicated editors. You must use this facet to maintain your Pacbase applications.
  • kernel. This facet provides the data description entities only. It factorizes the entities that are common to the Pacbase facet and the other facets, if any.

    You are strongly advised against using the kernel facet to update the data.

  • COBOL. This facet provides entities that are dedicated to the management of native COBOL code. It can be used only by experts. It is not documented in this Rational® Programming Patterns version.
Default facet
This facet defines your work facet.
