Factors that Affect Subset Content

The precise set of objects that a scoping object delivers to the toolset depends on:

• Scoping an object
• Protection granted the scoping object
• Expansion that is specified for the scoping object
• Subset type
• Maturity of the model

For example, if an entity type has no attributes, the subset contains no attributes.

Scoping the root subject area before transformation includes all entity types. Scoping the same root subject area after transformation includes the database also.

When creating a subset, you first select scoping objects and then specify their protection and expansion.
