Meta Entity Composition tab

In this tab, you describe and define the structure of the User Entities that will be created from the Meta Entity.

The tab is divided into two panes:
  • The Composition pane contains the elements that will constitute the User Entities. You can add, remove, or move elements by clicking the corresponding buttons. A User Entity can be constituted of the following elements:
    • Data aggregate descriptions that are internal to the Meta Entity. They are represented by the Data Aggregate description icon.
    • Data descriptions that are internal to the Meta Entity. They are represented by the Data description icon.
    • Existing Meta Data Aggregates. They are represented by the Meta Data Aggregates icons.
    • Existing Data Elements represented by the Data Element icon in the Pacbase facet, or existing Data represented by the Data icon in the COBOL facet.
  • The other pane contains sections (Component Usage for example) where you enter the characteristics of the elements that are inserted or selected in the Composition pane.
