DOM DevOps tools

The DOM DevOps tools allow you to create and update DOM models in a more graphical way instead of doing so via code. They allow you to quickly model DOM objects even if you do not have a profound knowledge of the different objects and how they are structured in the background.

Caution

These tools have been created by developers for developers. We have made them available in case this could be useful, but they are currently by no means complete tools.

Note

These tools are available via the DataMiner Catalog. See DOM DevOps tools installation.

The DOM Designer allows you to quickly and easily set up an entire new module with a definition from scratch. However, it only supports a limited set of editing actions:

• Adding fields
• Changing the behavior of fields in a certain state
• Adding buttons
• Adding states if no instances exist of the DOM model

To edit modules and definitions or to set up complex modules with multiple definitions reusing sections, you should use the DOM Editor instead. For example:

• Changing the name of a field

• Deleting a field

• Reusing sections across different definitions in the same module

• Naming a DOM instance

  Note

  If you use the DOM Designer tool with the Excel file, it will automatically pick the value of the first field as the instance name.
