Session 5: Exporting Conceptual Diagrams to ER/Studio DA
Go Up to Tutorials
When we export the Conceptual model to a Logical Data model in ER/Studio Data Architect, the Subject Area we created will be an ER/Studio submodel, and Business Entities will be created as Logical Entities within that submodel. Also, when you have mapped a diagram to a Subject Area, the entities of the mapped diagrams are then exported as elements of the ER/Studio Data Architect submodel.
- In the Model View, right-click the model "Sales", select Export > Model to ER/Studio Data Architect… and the Export to ER/Studio Data Architect dialog opens. The name of the ER/Studio Data Architect export file is by default the model name with a file extension of .dm1. The directory where the exported file will be placed is the default workspace directory. For this example we will leave these settings the same.

- Click . The Subject Area "Sales" and all four Business Entities are placed in the Selected elements list box and appear under the Logical node.
- Select the option to open the generated model in ER/Studio when the export is complete.
- Click OK, and ER/Studio Data Architect opens with the model you exported from ER/Studio Business Architect.
