What is CDS Designer UI?

Section


Column
width70%

CDS Designer UI is a framework to automate the resolution of resources for instantiation and any config provisioning operation, such as day0, day1 or day2 configuration.

CDS has both design-time and run-time activities; during design time, Designer can define what actions are required for a given service, along with anything comprising the action. The design produces a CBA Package. Its content is driven from a catalog of reusable data dictionary and component, delivering a reusable and simplified self-service experience.

CDS modeling is mainly based on TOSCA standard, using JSON as representation.
