BAM - Creating Data Objects

Data Objects(DO) in BAM hold the data which is used in creating dashboards.
Two ways to crete DO are:
1)Manually Create in Architect

2)Create DO From Enterprise Link plan

1)Manually Creating DO in Architect :
1)Login to BAM->click on Architect
2)Select Dataobjects from the dropdown,create dataobject
3)Give the DO a name,location - specify under which folder should the DO be created.
DO should have atleast one field,otherwise the architect ill not let you save the DO
4)Click on Add Field,give it name,set the datatype,set the other values and click on create dataobject.
Once the DO is created,e can also input sample data from the contents option ->Edit content->Add,enter the content and save the value.

Architect follows folder structure to store DO's.The main folder is the DataObjects Folder,under which all the DO's get created by default.We can also create subfolders under DataObjects folder and create DO's inside the subfolder.

2)Create DO From Enterprise Link plan
Enterpreise Link allows us to create dataobjects from the plan.The OracleBAMinsertsink which is used in a plan to insert data,also lets you to create a new DO and then insert values into the created dataobject.

The datobjected created using this option has all the fields sselected in the plan.

Happy Learning
