Domain Namespaces

Domain Namespaces are used to encapsulate the business logic into its own layer. A domain namespace uses a predefined, reserved vocabulary of terms to define concepts (entities) and their relationships among themselves for a specific use case.

Create Domain Namespaces

To create a domain namespace, use the Create capability in the domain namespace's Overview section.

A domain namespace is defined by the following master data:

  • Prefix: This is the prefix of the domain namespace. It is unique within a namespace. Please note, that only the characters A-z (without special characters), digits and the special character "_" are permitted for a prefix! Furthermore, prefixes may not begin with a digit and the first character must be lowercase. A prefix can not consist more than 6 characters (required)
  • Label: This is used to give a short description of the domain namespace and its lifecycle (required)
  • Description: This is a long the description of the domain namespace and its lifecycle (optional)

You can also use the Open after creation checkbox to open the domain namespace for further editing after creating.

Edit Domain Namespaces

You can edit the master data of a domain namespace by clicking the Edit namespace details button in the Namespace Details section on the domain namespace's instance page.

Delete Domain Namespaces

You can delete an error by clicking the Delete namespace button in the upper right corner of the domain namespace instance page.

You cannot delete a domain namespace when:

  • an Event of the current namespace is used as an Event Trigger in an Agent in a different namespace
  • an Event of the current namespace is used in a Service or Command of a different namespace
  • a Property definition in a different namespace uses an Entity of the current namespace as a Range

  • an Entity of the current namespace is used as a Parent in a different namespace
  • an Error of the current namespace is used in a Service or Command in a different namespace
  • a Service or a Command in a different namespace uses an Entity of the current namespace as Input/Output/Payload
Warning:

You will be asked to confirm the action before the selected namespace is permanently deleted.
