Manage Schema Assets

This page explains the creation and routine maintenance of business object-side assets: topic domain grouping, new creation, viewing, editing, deletion of topic domains and business objects, and how to supplement extended properties. The application domain and application system on the application side are shown in Management Application Domain and Application System, and the release and abandonment status are shown in Management Architecture Asset Lifecycle.

Asset Hierarchy & Portals

Hierarchy	New Portal	Subordinate Objects	Delete Restrictions
Subject Domain Grouping	[New Subject Domain Grouping] Button	Subject Domain	Cannot be deleted if a subject domain exists under the grouping
Subject Domain	New Subject Domain button after grouping	Business Objects	Cannot be deleted if there are Business Objects under the Subject Domain
Business Objects	Create Business Objects button under the subject area	Logical Entities, Properties	Status Thresholds on the Lifecycle page

You cannot directly create a new business object under a subject domain grouping, you must first create a subject domain. When you delete a subject domain grouping or subject domain, the system will confirm it twice, and migrate or process subordinate objects before deleting it.

Illustration The detail page after the theme domain is selected: the left directory displays the Chinese and English names, the upper right side displays the definition information, and the list below is the list of business objects under the theme domain.

New & Edit

1. Enter the Business Object Model area of Data Model Management.
2. Click [New Subject Domain Grouping], fill in the Chinese and English names, codes and definitions, and complete the creation after confirmation.
3. Select the group and click [New Topic Field] to add the responsible person and description.
4. Select the subject field, click [Create Business Object], and enter the new page to fill in the name, code, definition, responsible department and extended properties.
5. Select the object when you need to adjust, click [Edit] to modify the properties and confirm.

After selecting any object, the left directory displays the name and English name, and the right side displays the definition information and the subordinate list, which can be used to check whether the hierarchy is correct.

Business Object Status Threshold

The viewing and editing portal of business objects is open to all states, and state change operations are controlled according to the following table:

Current State	Allowed Actions	Prerequisites
Draft (unpublished)	Edit, publish, delete	Publish requires approval process
Published	Edited, Deprecated	Published objects cannot be deleted directly
Abandoning for Approval	Pending for Approval	Objects remain in publishing state until approval is complete
Abandoned	Deleted	Automatically unbinds the model that binds the object after deletion

See the Management Architecture Asset Lifecycle for a complete description of the approval turnover and change history.

Extended Properties

Extended attributes are used to record industry, organization, or project-specific information.

1. In the Business Object Model area, click More Actions → Extended Properties.
2. Create an extended property that defines the name, type, and whether it is required.
3. Once added, the extended properties appear in the basic information of the business object.

Attribute definitions should be maintained uniformly by administrators, avoiding duplicate field creation across teams. See Managing Business Objects and Entities for a viewing portal for extended properties.

Bulk Maintenance

Obtain the Excel template through [More Actions → Download Template], fill in and import, and the system will update according to the business object code; [More Actions → Export Business Objects] can export all business objects in the current directory to local. See Import Export Schema Assets for template filling rules and external tools synchronization.
