Design and Definition

To customize the infrastructure for your solution, perform the following design tasks, in this order:

Define the requirements for your solution by considering the formats of messages that traverse the

enterprise (or solution domain). What information does each application need? What information

does each application generate? The answers to these questions will determine many of the

interface and query requirements for your solution.

Create a list of use cases that reflect the types of transactions required to solve your business

problem.

Assemble a compendium of document formats, for example a compendium of SAP IDocs or

Health Level 7 messages.

Consider the benefits to be gained from enriching the data available to each application. Notice

where interesting data is generated and where it is stored.

The Director accepts and generates XML messages, in a format described in the document entitled

RTID Message Format and Programmatic Interfaces.

Customize the data model by copying and editing the DDL file provided in the solution package.

For example, edit the DDL in the RTSC package to reflect the requirements of your own supply

chain. If there is no solution package for your vertical industry, create your own DDL file to

correspond to your data model.

You can think about partitioning right away or start without partitions and then add them later. For

an overview of partitioning support in the Director, see the document entitled Technical Overview

of the Real Time Information Director. For more detailed information, see the document entitled

RTID Metadata Language.

Create metadata for any additional documents (e.g., IDocs, variations of predefined IDocs, and

XML messages) your solution requires. For this task, you can use any text editor or Java IDE to

customize and augment the metadata class definitions in the solution package.

For supply chain, you'll find the starting metadata class definitions in the subdirectory

c:\rtid\rtsc\com after you install the Director on the workstation. For healthcare, you'll find the
