Using CA IDMS Enforcer › Utilities Option › Add/Copy Entity Type Screen

Add/Copy Entity Type Screen

The Add function of the Add/Copy Entity Type screen is used to add a new entity-type name to an existing dictionary/node structure.

The Copy function is used to:

• Copy an existing entity to a new or existing entity type
• Copy multiple entities associated with a dictionary/node.

Note: Adding an entity type to the CA IDMS Enforcer database in no way establishes that entity type as a data resource component in a CA IDMS data dictionary.A "user-defined entity" must be established following Data Dictionary Definition Language (DDDL) conventions.
