Now, what we want to achieve, is to customize this menu, to:
1. Display in the Category window only f.e. two categories:
- EA Diagrams
- BPM Diagrams
Click on Tools => General Options=> Model Creation
Click on Properties => at right of Default category set
Note : Model template does not work as Category. We can't set. An enchancement request has been open to SAP
In the following example I defined a new default (MyNewDefault.mcc). As you can see only BPMN models are available.
To create a new category set with BPMN choice
a) Copy default.mcc in MyNewDefault.mcc file.
Go to Tools=>General Options=>Model Creation : Select your new category
Go to Tools=>General Options=>Model Creation : Edit properties and remove all things you does not want keep
or
b) Go to Tools=>General options=>Model Creation : Edit properties and click on Save as button and specify the file name "MyNewDefault".
Quit the window.
Select you new category : Go to Tools=>General Options=>Model Creation : "MyNewDefault"
Edit properties and remove all things you does not want keep.
Save you new category
2. You can wrote specific extension for each model
a. How to define copies/replicas of existing diagrams
Wrote an extension
b. How to make sure, particular diagrams can be used (created) only on predefined "levels" and how to set the parent-child relationship, so that PD enforced it directly when creating a new diagram.
Specify yours conditons in your extension attached to your model
Example : When the user want create a child diagram display a list of Parent Diagrams to select from.
You can set in your extension by VBScript parent-child relationship
2. In the EA Diagrams, we want to have f.e. four copies of City Planning diagram, each of them should have different elements available, f.e. in the first copy, only Architecture Areas shall be made available, in the second one Architecture Areas and Business Functions, in the third on f.e. only Business Functions shall be made available.
I suggest to take a look in
Repository=>Administration=>Objects Permission Profile
You can specify objects to show, mask, deactivate.
You can specifiy your own metadata.
If I understanding well your question: I'm not sure you can mask, deactivate functions following diagram selection.
