Hi Andy,

We can use data foundation as a basis to create business layer in IDT

thanks, but I am talking about data foundation view.

A Data Foundation can consume one or more connections. So you can bring tables from multiple databases into a single Data Foundation. The Data Foundations contains the tables, joins, and contexts. Optionally, you can build multiple Business Layers on a Data Foundation. The following diagram summarizes the new universe structure.

This structure adds some significant benefits over the old method of building universes. The ability to build a universe with tables from multiple databases has been a long time coming. And, the ability to build the Data Foundation once, and reuse it for multiple universes, means less work in the long run.

These layers are built in a local, or shared, project. One of the benefits of using shared projects is that multiple people can work on the same project at the same time. For example, one person can be working on the Data Foundation, while another is working on a Business Layer

Hope this helps
