Sample Scenario

The following scenario involving two people illustrates the tasks in the work flow, each creating a subset definition and checking out their respective subsets simultaneously.

  1. John creates the model ORDER_PROCESSING on his toolset. The model contains three entity types:
  2. John checks in ORDER_PROCESSING from his toolset to the encyclopedia.
  3. John defines a subset on the encyclopedia to let him modify the entity type ORDER and to delete the entity type MISTAKE.
  4. John checks out his subset (named FIRST) from his toolset.
  5. Mary defines a subset on the encyclopedia to let her modify the entity type ORDER_LINE.
  6. Mary checks out her subset (named SECOND) from her toolset.
  7. John and Mary work on their respective subsets on their toolsets.
  8. On his toolset, John checks in his subset.
  9. On her toolset, Mary checks in her subset.
  10. John checks out subset FIRST from his toolset, which copies a portion of the ORDER_PROCESSING model.
  11. Mary changes her subset definition to try to check out the entity type ORDER with Delete usage.
  12. Mary checks out her subset but finds that she has only Access to the entity type ORDER because John already had ORDER with Modify.
