Example: Specifying a Model Generation Action

The Model Generation action lets a framework user generate one or more models from another model. The generated model will be displayed in the Browser under the project node and as a document in the node or cell to which it has been attached.

In the following example, we will specify an action in a framework matrix cell that enables the user to generate exactly one Sybase AS Enterprise 15.0.2 PDM from a Logical Data Model.

  1. Double-click a framework cell to open its property sheet, and click the Actions tab.
  2. Click the Add a Row tool to create a new action, and double-click it to open its property sheet.
  3. On the General tab, enter Generate from Logical Model in the Name field.
  4. Clear the Multiple check box to specify that exactly one generated PDM can be attached to the cell.
  5. Click the Detail tab, and specify the following properties:

    Property

    Select or enter

    Type

    Model Generation

    Model type

    Physical Data Model

    Model language

    Sybase AS Enterprise 15.5

    Source model type

    Logical Data Model

    Source location

    Logical data model



  6. Click OK to close the action and cell property sheets and return to the framework matrix.

    The Model Generation action is now available for use by framework matrix users (see Attaching a Document to a Framework Node and Cell).
