Chapter 10 PowerDesigner Public Metamodel


Public names

Each object in the PowerDesigner metamodel has a name and a code corresponding to the public name of the object. The public name of an object is the unique identifier of this object in a model library. A model library corresponds to a package visible in the Modules diagram in the metamodel, for example PdCommon. The public name does not always match the object name in the PowerDesigner interface.

Public names are also used in the XML files and in the PowerDesigner Generation Template Language.

For more information on XML files, see chapter PowerDesigner File Format Specification.

For more information on text generation, see chapter Generation Reference Guide.
