Chapter 7 Linking and Synchronizing Models in PowerDesigner


Selecting generation options

You can select options in the Detail tab of the generation dialog box.

The Save Generation Dependencies option is used to create the generation link and to keep track of the identity of the origin of each generated object. It is useful when objects have been renamed in the source or generated model. It can also be used when you want to merge two models generated from the same model: objects can be compared and recognized as the same object, even if the object has been modified in the merged model.

The Check model option is always available; it is used to verify the source model before generation. If an error is found the generation process stops.

Other generation options are specific to the source and target model; you should refer to the corresponding chapter in the different PowerDesigner model user's guides.
