Defining Data Models

The second major phase of development in CA 2E is the define phase. Data Modeling is the first part of this second phase. It includes the following tasks:

Defining relations and relationship extensions
Defining objects
Defining field details and conditions
Defining virtual fields

The entity relationship diagram must be translated into a CA 2E data model diagram. This involves entering files and field details, field validation, and default access paths created by CA 2E.
