Converting a RAP Messages Model to a RAPCache or RAPStore Model

For RAPCache, generate a Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise model. For RAPStore, generate a Sybase IQ model.

This is a summary. See Data Model and Queries > Model Generation for details.

  1. In PowerDesigner, generate a physical data model for the database target you want. You can generate a new physical data model or update an existing one.
  2. Enable transformations for the appropriate extension, RAPCache or RAPStore.
  3. Perform postgeneration tasks to add or edit indexes, set physical options, and add foreign keys as needed.
  4. Add other tables or columns as needed. Either:
    • Modify the physical data model, then generate the RAP messages logical model from it, or,
    • Modify the RAP messages logical model and regenerate the physical model.
  5. Analyze the impact of changes as you make them.
