Update Database Using Admin Tool: Sequence

1. Create new Classes as required.

Note: The upper levels of the class hierarchy are system pre-defined, and cannot be changed. Any new class you create will be a subclass of these system pre-defined classes.

Creating Classes section in the Manage Classes topic.

2. Define Attributes for the new Classes that will be needed in Class definitions.

Note: Until you add an Attribute to a Class that has no pre-defined attributes, it adopts the attributes inherited from its Parent Class.

Adding an Attribute section in the Manage Attributes topic.

3. Define new Permissible Associations, by creating Associations between Classes in the Class Library.

Creating New Association Types and Creating Permissible Association Types sections in the Manage Associations topic.

4. Create Objects as instances of Classes in the Class Library.

Creating Objects section in the Manage Objects topic.

5. Create Permissible Associations between Objects.

Note: When an Object is deleted, all the Associations of that Object are automatically deleted. A Class cannot be deleted, unless all existing Objects of that Class (and its subclasses) are deleted.

Creating Permissible Association Types section in the Manage Associations topic.
