Working with OOMs

The chapters in this part provide information about PowerDesigner features that allow you to customize, check, generate from, and reverse-engineer to your object-oriented models .

• Generating and Reverse Engineering OO Source Files
  PowerDesigner can generate and reverse engineer source files from and to an OOM.
• Generating Other Models from an OOM
  You can generate the following types of models from an OOM:
• Customizing the OOM Environment
  The OOM environment includes a set of parameters and configuration options that define various aspects of the model content and behavior. You can set these parameters:
• Checking an OOM
  The Object-Oriented Model is a very flexible tool, which allows you quickly to develop your model without constraints. You can, however, check the validity of your OOM at any time.
• Importing a Rational Rose Model into an OOM
  You can import Rational Rose (.MDL) models created with version 98, 2000, and 2002 into an OOM.
• Importing and Exporting an OOM in XMI Format
  PowerDesigner supports the import and export of XML Metadata Interchange (XMI) UML v2.x files, an open format that allows you to transfer UML models between different tools. All of the OOM objects can be imported and exported.
