Models

A model is a logical grouping of elements within a layer. Models help in
situations where multiple ISV solutions or projects must operate together. This
architecture allows many solutions to co-exist within each layer.
An element can exist in exactly one model in a layer. The same element can exist
in a customized version in a model in a higher layer. New models are easy to
create in the MorphX IDE and are applied when modifying or adding objects in
the AOT. Models can be exported, installed, or uninstalled from the model store.
Models are identified by a name and a publisher, and have a set of properties that
can be changed, including a version number.
Following is an example:• A company has two lines of business. They manufacture and sell
medical products. They also manufacture, sell and service
specialized equipment to produce medical products.• Solution A is an advanced vertical solution for the production of
food and drug products. Among other things, this solution adds a
new field to the item table to store the government approval number.
This is stored in the ISV layer and in the model MEDICAL.
• Solution B is an advanced vertical solution for managing the ongoing
service of equipment which is sold to customers. Among other
things, this solution adds a new field to the item table for the default
service period. This is stored in the ISV layer and in the model
SERVICE.• You can use models to view the modifications to the item table made
by all ISV solutions and easily see where each change originated.
Managing Models 

Models can be created in the development workspace by clicking on Tools >
Model management > Create model. Then you can enter the model name, your
company, which layer the model is in, the version number, a full description, and
a shorter description. The combination of name and publisher make a unique
model. 

To change the current model, click the current model in the status bar.
