Business function modelA business function model is built from a selection of business functions initially created in the repository. The presence, or absence, of business functions in the business function model during the implementation phases of the LN software is used to:
Business functions can be defined in the repository in a hierarchical structure; therefore, a function can have subfunctions. This structure is used as an aid while defining the business functions, and does not have to be maintained when you import business functions into a project model. See the Options when Inserting a Business Function from the Repository (tgbrg3270m000) session. Business functions that appear in several business control diagrams only appear once in the business function model. Business functions at the lowest level of the hierarchy are implementation variants of business functions, referred to as business function variants or options. Business Functions by Project Model (tgbrg4570m000) Use the Business Functions by Project Model (tgbrg4570m000) session to:
To start this session:
In this session you cannot modify business function data. This can only be done in the Business Functions (tgbrg2500m000) session in the repository. You can only import business functions from the repository into the Business Function Model and set up a new hierarchical structure. To create a business function model:
Options when Inserting a Business Function from the Repository (tgbrg3270m000) Importing a business function from the repository into a project model, the Options when Inserting a Business Function from the Repository (tgbrg3270m000) session is started. This session can be used to indicate the aspects of the business functions you selected from the repository, to include in the business function model. To import business functions from the repository:
Optimization Phases by Business Function (tgbrg4535m000) To link one or more optimization phases to a business function, use the Optimization Phases by Business Function (tgbrg4535m000) session. To start this session:
To link an optimization phase to a business function:
Carrying out wizards If all the relevant business functions have been included in the business function model, you can set the parameter values by executing the wizards linked to the business functions. There are two ways in which you can carry out the wizards:
To view the wizards represented in a tree structure and linked to the business functions present in the business function model, in the Wizard Browser’s appropriate menu, cancel the Show only Wizards option. You can cancel the execution of a wizard even if all the steps are incomplete. If you do this, you can save the wizard step answers you have already given. If a wizard has not been completely finished, the check mark is placed through the icon in the Wizard Browser. Therefore, it is important to remember if a wizard was carried out without completing all the wizard steps. Wizard Answers by Company by Project Model (tgwzr4501m000) When you have carried out all wizard steps, this question is asked:
Use this session to modify the answers you have initially given. Furthermore, you can execute the complete wizard again, or execute a particular step and change the given answer in this way. To change the given wizard step answers:
Note If the Applied check box is selected, the wizard-step answers will be applied in the business function model. However, the wizard-step answers are not applied until you exit the business function model. Closing the business function model When you have included all the relevant business functions in the business function model, and all the wizards are carried out, the business function model can be closed. When you exit the business function model, depending on what type of data was modified, these questions can appear:
These questions refer to steps that can also be taken manually. They are further explained in other sections. Check Project Model Consistency (tgbrg4220m000) To check whether the business function model is created according to the consistency rules defined in the repository:
When you create a business function model, you can make consistency errors. For example, you can forget to include business functions that should be included according to the consistency rules you defined in the repository. The check is carried out for the combination of the current modeling version and project model. You can also specify an optimization phase for which the check should be carried out. If no phase is specified, the consistency check is carried out for all optimization phases defined for the project model. The result of the consistency check is displayed in a message box, while the rules are printed to the device that you select. If a given rule is not met, the result is also printed. Set Current Optimization Phase To start the Optimization Phases by Project Model (tgbrg4530m000) session:
Set all Optimization Phases as Current On the appropriate menu of the Business Functions by Project Model (tgbrg4570m000) session:
This means all business functions in the project model are displayed in the Business Functions by Project Model (tgbrg4570m000) session.
