- The use case Advanced Data Management adds business data as a child of business object. The business object represents an entity such as a customer, invoice, or order. It is defined by a set of attributes (e.g., Name, Phone Number). Business objects are used and exchanged in business processes. A business data is the concrete, logical instantiation of a business object.
- Business data are at the leaf level of the hierarchy Business Object Category > Business Object > Business Data.
- Data workbenches are available in the navigation panel for Business Object Categories, Business Objects, and Business Data.
- Information flows transfer business data between applications. A Transferred Business Data view is available in the information flow content area where transferred data can be captured from the perspective of the incoming or outgoing information flow.
- Data usage and CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations are captured for the business data.
- A Business Data data workbench is available in the business object content area to capture the business data that instantiates a business object. A Business Data Governance view shows all business data associated with the business object, the compliance of the data, and analysis of its attributes.
- The business questions Where do we use sensitive data? and Where is our data processed? visualize business data.
