Connecting Classes (SAP Library - Knowledge Provider (BC-SRV-KPR))

Connecting Classes

Use

So far, the classes you have created exist completely independently of each other. In other words, although they are part of the same content model, they are not yet using the document management functions that the DMWB provides. Therefore, the next step now is to create relationships between the individual classes. To do this, you need to create a connection space.

Procedure

Create a new entity Class connection space in the folder Connection spaces of your document area (context menu Create → Class connection space).

Open the Connections view by double clicking on your new class connection space.

Similarly to the process for LOIO Classes, make the object directory entry in the next dialog box.

A three-column table is displayed:

Click in the first row of the first column, and choose Insert class. Select a PHIO class from the dialog box that appears:

Select a relationship class. To do this, double-click in the empty field in the column Relationship class and select a relationship class from the list that appears.

Note

If a relationship cannot be created in your document area, an error message appears.

Click in the empty field in the column Target class. Choose Insert class and select a target class from the list that appears.

Note

At this point you can choose Insert new node to define more relationships.

Activate the new connection space.

Result

Now that you have set up and activated this connection space, you have created a simple content model in the DMWB. You can now extend this document area as required, and create new document areas.
