Chapter 10 Reverse Engineering in an OOM

Reverse engineering into an existing OOM

You can also reverse engineer into an existing OOM.

When you reverse engineer into an existing OOM, a model merge window appears after the reverse engineering process is complete. You can then use the model merge function to integrate the current and newly reversed objects into a model.

For more information on comparing and merging two models, see chapter Comparing and Merging Models in the General Features Guide.

To reverse engineer object language files into an existing OOM:

Select Language→Reverse Engineer to display Reverse Engineering dialog box.

Select to reverse engineer files or directories from the Reverse Engineering dropdown listbox.

Select the files or directory to reverse engineer.

Click OK.

A message in the Output window indicates that the specified file is fully reverse engineered and the Merge Models window appears.

Select merge options and click OK.

The reverse engineered files are merged into the current model.
