Tailoring the Subset Definition to the Task

1. If testing, space out the slash ( / ) at Design phase and select Unit Test or System Test. Otherwise, accept the default.

                           Subset Definition Summary                              
                                                                                  
                    Subset type:      /Design      .Unit      .System             
                                                                                  
                    Protection    Expansion    Object    Object                   
                     Option        Option       Name      Type                    
                                                                                  
                      M             __          STORE ENTITY                      
                      M             __          ADD PROCESS                       
                      M             __          DEL PROCESS                       
   
   

2. For each displayed object that is not required by your task, enter D on the line in front of the object's protection option. For the recommendations, compare the displayed list of objects with the Task Table for the tasks you plan to perform with this subset.

   Note: Review subset summaries to remove redundant or duplicate scoping objects (embedded scoping objects). If you scoped an object that was included by the expansion of another object because you request more protection or expansion of that object, you can now remove the object that was included in the initial expansion.

3. For each object that requires a protection level different from that displayed, make the needed change. For the recommendations, compare the displayed protection for each object with the recommended protection in the relevant task table. Protection options are:
   • D (Required to Delete the object)
   • M (Required to Modify the object)
   • A (Required to Access, reference, or build an association to the object)
   • R (Required to Read the object)
4. For each object that requires an expansion level different from that displayed, make the needed change. For the recommendations, compare the displayed expansion for each object with the expansion recommended in the relevant task table.

   To display a prompt stating the supported expansions for any given object, enter a forward slash ( / ) in the object's Expansion Option field. Options include Default (blank) and one or more of the following:

   • S (Short, includes the minimum number of related objects, and are selected when sufficient for your task)
   • A (defined for certain tasks that are associated with the selected object types as described in the task tables)
   • B (defined for certain tasks that are associated with the selected object types as described in the task tables)
   • F (Full, includes all related objects, that is, objects for all usage of the subset type and are selected only when required)
5. When you have reviewed the subset definition and have made all desired changes, press Enter twice to confirm and accept it.
