Chapter 6 Generating from a Conceptual Data Model


Configuring the generated OOM options

When you configure the options of an OOM to generate, you may define options diverging from the CDM options.

To avoid conflicts, PowerDesigner applies the following rule for default values of OOM options: an option defined for the generated OOM should respect the equivalent option of the CDM.

Equivalent options are model options found in both models. The Enforce non-divergence option exists in both CDM and OOM.

CDM option OOM option Result in generated OOM
Enforce non-divergence Enforce non-divergence in model according to CDM options
Enforce non-divergence Enforce non-divergence in model according to OOM options defined using the Configure Model Options feature

Options with no equivalent, like Use Data Type Full Name in the CDM without any corresponding option in an OOM, are generated using default values found in the registry.
