If you want to use custom data types you can create them using the available basic data types.
To create a custom data type, follow the steps below. To illustrate the procedure, an "enumeration" data type is created.
- In the Create pane, click the data type element of your choice, click in the open Custom Profile Definition view, and type the name for the data type.
This name is the data type's internal name (identifier) for Enterprise Studio. It can only contain letters, digits, and underscores. Spaces are not allowed. - Optional: Add the data type name that must be presented to the user when modeling. If you do not add a name, the data type's identifier name will be shown to the user.
- Select the data type in the view, and click
- Click in the translation box, and type the name. This name can contain spaces.
- Select the data type in the view, and click
Depending on the data type you have created, perform one of the following additional operations:
Close the data type's properties window.
The custom data type is now ready and can be assigned to attributes.
