# 5 - Create an SDF

The **Suite Definition File (SDF)** tells the CCPP-Framework which schemes will be run in what order. For more, see [CCPP in CAM-SIMA](../design/ccpp-in-cam-sima.md)

If your parameterization or CCPPization represents a complete configuration that can be run by normal users (e.g. a simple physics package like kessler), instead put your SDF in `$CAM-SIMA/src/physics/ncar_ccpp/suites`.<br/><br/>Most likely, your parameterization will not fall into this category and will "just" be part of an existing suite like `CAM4` or `CAM7`, meaning you should put the SDF in the `test_suite` directory listed above.

You will also need to add your same set of schemes to the appropriate larger suite (usually `suite_cam7.xml`). Use comments to delineate your set(s) of schemes to make the SDF somewhat readable.

For example: if your parameterization requires dry water vapor, you'll want to add:

3031
- `<scheme>wet_to_dry_water_vapor</scheme>` before your core parameterization scheme to convert water vapor to a dry mixing ratio (CAM-SIMA has "wet")
3132
- `<scheme>dry_to_wet_water_vapor</scheme>` after your parameterization scheme to convert back to a wet mixing ratio to return to CAM-SIMA
