Information Design Tool (UNX)

OK, I get the breakdown between the business layer and the data foundation layer in the new Information Design Tool (IDT) and UNX Universes. At first glance, it looks like a better option than linked Universes. But I dont understand the maintenance. Say we have one data foundation, with three business layer universes built on top. If we have a modification to the data foundation only, what are the steps we need to ensure this is accomplished in all universes? Do we need to promote each Universe? How do we ensure each is pointed to the same data foundation revision?

Hello and welcome,

What sort of change to the Foundation? a new Derived Table perhaps?

but generally Yes, you'd have to Edit the BusinessLayer, repoint to the revised Foundation (withthe new table)

The new elements would be need to be inserted into the BL (caveat depending on your generation automation settings)

Then the BusinessLayer would then have to be republished to the repository.

and would +1 the universe version number.

More of like changing the SQL for an inserted calculated column, or a join. A change that would not require manual maintenance within the business layer directly.

So, would the steps have to be: Pick any universe and import. Change the foundation layer and export. Identify all other universes that use the same data foundation(how), import, change data foundation to the one you just modifed, and then export all.

What is configuration control to ensure there is only one version of the data foundation published?
