Data Modeling (Data Source Expert, Business Logic Expert)

The Data Modeling section describes the second part of the design process. The data modeling phase is the process of taking data from customer sources, identifying specific components of the required data, deciding how this data needs to be normalized, and assessing how to assign the relevant data to the corresponding Metrics (via the registration process).

This phase includes the following tasks:

• Business Logic Expert:
  • Identifying and defining input event structure required for calculation later to be defined as Event Types
  • Building required fields into Event Type to provide data required for all calculations in which it is used
  • Defining Metric registration process to maximize events flow
  • Determining how to build the resource model from available data to satisfy all reporting and logic requirements
• Data Source Expert:
  • Identifying data source type and deciding how it should be normalized by the Adapter into defined Event Types and fed into CA Business Service Insight database
  • Deciding Event type identifiers that should be attached to data
