Model Business Anchors 

Purpose

A business anchor is an interaction component’s reference to a data source. You model business anchors to define the data flow in the user interface of a mobile client application during runtime. This includes:

·        Creating a hierarchy between the business anchors used in an interaction component

¡        At the tile level, the anchor hierarchy defines the relationship between the business objects associated to a tile.

¡        At the tile set level, the anchor hierarchy defines the relationship that exists between the data displayed in the various tiles of a tile set.

¡        At the business component level, the anchor hierarchy defines the relationship that exists between the data displayed in the various tile sets of a business component.

·        Mapping the business anchors between interaction components

Process Flow

       1.      Create an anchor hierarchy.

Identify each interaction component for which you want to model business anchors.

       2.      Map the business anchors between interaction components.

You can create an anchor hierarchy for a tile set or business component using the Anchor Designer. For more information see, Model a Business Anchor Hierarchy Using the Anchor Designer.
