Data areas
A Data Area represents a restricted data structure dedicated to the description of a software Data Store (see Managing Data). It is made of classes and/or data views and can be described in a Data Area Diagram.
A logical data area is used to define a logical data structure made up of classes and data views.
A logical data domain is owned by a package and can reference objects held in other packages.
You can define the access mode (creation, deletion, etc.) to the objects referenced by a data area by integrating them as components of the data area.
During integration with HOPEX Database Builder, a corresponding physical structure can be defined via a physical data area. It is made up of tables and table views.
To address these specific use cases, you can create Data Views in which you can see and modify the scope covered by the classes.
*A data view represents the scope covered by an element of a data model or a data area. A data view is based on the selection of several classes connected in the specific context of the view.
