Creating a New Model 

Prerequisites

You have defined the needs of your application and know:

·        Which data services (such as queries, BAPIs or other RFCs) you need in your model

·        In which back-end system each required data service resides

·        The alias defined in the portal for each back-end system

·        The name and password of the user has been mapped to the connected back-end applications

Procedure

...

       1.      Choose Model → New Model or click the New Model toolbar button. The Create New Model dialog box is displayed.

       2.      In the model hierarchy, click through the hierarchy to define the location at which to save the new model. The full path is shown in the Model path field,

       3.      In the Model name field, enter a name for your model, adhering to these conventions:

¡        Only alphanumeric characters and underscores

¡        No spaces or punctuation marks

¡        No special characters

       4.      Click OK.

To create a model in a specific location – not the location indicated in the Path field – choose Model → Manage Models. In the Model Browser dialog box, select the folder in which to create the new model (you can also create a new folder using the New Folder toolbar button) and choose the New Model toolbar button.

Result

The model is created in your workspace on the Visual Composer server and the Compose Model task panel is displayed at the right, with a set of icons indicating the different model elements that you can create: Package, Page and different types of iViews.
