Chapter 12 Generating Other Models from an OOM


Why generating an OOM into an OOM?

You can generate an OOM into an OOM when you need to keep two models synchronized during the design process.

This kind of generation allows you to create a copy of a given model and define generation links between objects in the source OOM and their equivalent in the generated OOM. When changes are made to the source model, they can then be easily propagated to the generated models using the Update Existing Model generation mode.

The generated model is the one that usually contains more information.

Implementing for different languages

You can use the OOM to OOM generation to generate an analytical OOM (designed with the Analysis object language) into implementation OOMs designed for the different object languages supported in PowerDesigner.
