Session 9: Exporting External Data Objects to ER/Studio DA

From ER/Studio Business Architect
Jump to: navigation, search

Go Up to Tutorials

You can export External Data Objects to ER/Studio Data Architect where all entity elements map to a logical model and all table elements map to a physical model in ER/Studio Data Architect. Only entities and tables are exported. The export uses pre-defined mapping. We are going to export the project that we imported in Session 6.

  1. In the Model View tree, right-click the External Data Objects node labeled "Southwind," and then select Export > Model to ER/Studio Data Architect.
  2. In the Export Model "Southwind", change the Name to "Eastwind.dm1".
  3. Leave the default directory as "...Documents\ERStudioBusinessArchitect".
  4. From the list of Available Elements, click ERSt0088.png and all elements are moved to the Selected Elements list box.

  5. Select the option to "Open generated model in ER/Studio Data Architect when export is complete", if you have ER/Studio 7.0 or above installed on your computer.
  6. Click OK and the export dialog closes. The exported model is then opened automatically in ER/Studio Data Architect.
