Meta Data Services
Create New Object Dialog Box
Use this dialog box to create a new repository object and add it to the specified collection. You can add repository objects instance data in the Contents folder. You cannot create new objects for items in the Information Models folder.
This dialog box is available when you run Meta Data Browser as a stand-alone snap-in, in either Power User or Administrator browse mode. This dialog is not available within SQL Server Enterprise Manager. For more information, see Using Meta Data Browser.
This dialog box appears when you right-click an item in the Contents folder and then click New Object. The item that you select determines what type of object you can create and where it is located.
Options
Collection to add object to
- Lists the collections defined on an object. Objects are always added to collections. If collections are visible (that is, the Display Collections option is enabled), the collection is selected for you. If collections are hidden, you must select the collection in which to place the object.
Object Type
- Lists the object types that are allowed for the collection. Only valid object types are available for selection.
Object Name
- The objName of the object. This name is required when adding objects to a naming relationship. The name of the object should reflect its context. For example, a name of an interface member should include the package, interface, and member name. Names composed of multiple parts must be separated by colons (for example, BaseInterfaces:IUMLPackage:Visibility).
