Activate the Advanced Data Management use case scope

Alfabet supports two use cases to manage the exchange of data. The use cases are mutually exclusive. Both Basic Data Management and Advanced Data Management use cases are available with either the license IT Transformation Server - FastLane or IT Transformation Server - Enterprise.

The use case Basic Data Management is activated per default. In this case, the transfer of data is captured via business objects. Business objects are at the leaf level of the hierarchy Business Object Category > Business Object. Data attributes and CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations are captured for the business object.

The Advanced Data Management use case adds the class Business Data to the leaf level of the hierarchy Business Object Category > Business Object > Business Data. Data usage and CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations are maintained directly on the business data. If activated, a Business Data data workbench is added to the business object content area and a Business Data Governance view shows all business data associated with the business object, the compliance of the data, and analysis of its attributes. Additionally, the Transferred Business Data view is added to the information flow content area where transferred data can be captured from the perspective of the incoming or outgoing information flow.
