Working with Solutions

 A solution is a comprehensive and consistent set of interdependent versions of objects. Like
other objects, it can be checked in at a given time as a version, and may be restored at a later
date. Solutions are saved into the Master repository. A solution assembles a group of versions
called the solution's elements.
A solution is automatically assembled by using cross-references. By scanning crossreferences,
a solution automatically includes all dependent objects required for a particular
object. For example, when adding a project to a solution, versions for all the models used in
this project's interfaces are automatically checked in and added to the solution. You can also
manually add or remove elements into and from the solution. Solutions are displayed in the
Solutions tree in Designer Navigator.
The following objects may be added into solutions: Projects, Models, Scenarios, Global
Variables, User Functions, and Sequences.
To Create a Solution:
1. In Designer Navigator, select New Solution from the Solutions toolbar menu.
2. In the Solution editor, enter the name of your solution and a description , and then save
the solution. The resulting solution is an empty shell into which elements may then be
added.
3. To add an element, drag the object from the tree into the Elements list in the Solution
editor. Oracle Data Integrator scans the cross-references and adds any Required
Elements needed for this element to work correctly.
Note: If the objects being added have been inserted or updated since their last checked-in
version, you will be prompted to create new versions for these objects.
Removing Elements:
To remove an element from a solution, select the element that you want to remove in the
Elements list and then click the Delete button. This element is removed from the list. Existing
checked-in versions of the object are not affected.
