Is there a way to edit the Business Data Model outside of the BPM Studio an then import it back into Studio?
Yes, though it is NOT recommended…
Remember - it is NOT recommended!
Search for BDM.zip and review it’s structure, extract and edit.
Any mistakes and it will not work.
I find it best to do the Fields part of the businessobject only and build the queries and contraints inside studio.
Note everything including the lines and should be included for a new bO.
Then rezip to exactly the same structure as before.
Tip 1: it is not recommended
Tip 2: make sure you take a backup first
Tip 3: make sure it is the same structure after as before
Tip 4: do this when Studio is CLOSED
Tip 5: after doing all the above, do Development- BDM check everything and then click FINISH to “compile” the BDM classes and standard queries which are generated.
Did I say - Remember - it is NOT recommended!

Hi Sean,
This was really helpful. I didnt realize that Studio saves the BDM to the zip file when its closed.
Thanks,
Dave
