System (Product) Windows

A TDM system (product) represents a system or application installed in a source or target environment. For example, the UAT1 environment contains CRM and Billing systems. Each system can have multiple data sources (interfaces). For example, the Billing system has the Billing and Usage DBs.

A TDM system has the following components:

  • Name, a logical name that identifies the system. For example, CRM.

  • Versions, the system's versions as defined in testing environments. For example, Production and Development.

  • Logical Units (LUs).

BE and LU System Relationship

Each BE and LU combination can be attached to one system only. However, a system can have LUs belonging to different BEs.

The following example displays the relationship between a BE, LU and a system:

be-prod-lu

Systems List Window

The Systems window displays a list of all systems defined in the TDM. Only Admin users can create, edit, or delete a system. Other users can open systems for view only purposes.

  • To create a new system, click Add System.
  • To open a selected system, click its Name.
  • To delete a system, click delete in the right corner of the System window.

System Window

The System window displays information about a selected system. It has two main sections:

  • General Information.
  • Logical Units.

General Information

The General Information section has the following settings:

  • Name, populated by the system name.

  • Vendor and Description, optional settings.

  • Versions, system's versions which enable the TDM implementation to support multiple versions of the system.

    • Each system version may have a different data source structure. For example, a development environment may have new tables and fields that are not in the production environment.
    • At least one version must be set for a system. Multiple system versions can also be set.
    • The relevant system version must be selected when adding a system to an Environment.

To add a version to a system, click delete next to the Versions setting and enter the version's value which is the logical identifier of the system's version. For example 1, 1.5, dev or prod. The values must be aligned to the TDM Fabric implementation.

Logical Units

  • The Business Entities setting displays a list of BEs with available LUs that are not attached to the system.

  • The Logical Unit Name setting displays a list of available LUs that are not attached to the system and that belong to the selected BE.

How Do I Delete an LU from a System?

Click be_delete to delete the selected LU from the system.
