Chapter 12 Generating Other Models from an OOM
When you configure the options of a PDM to generate, you may define options diverging from the OOM options.
To avoid conflicts, PowerDesigner applies the following rule for default values of PDM options: an option defined for the generated PDM should respect the equivalent option of the OOM.
Equivalent options are model options found in both models. The Enforce non-divergence option exists in both OOM and PDM.
| OOM option | PDM option | Result in generated PDM |
|---|---|---|
| Enforce non-divergence | _ | Enforce non-divergence in model according to OOM options. Columns attached to the domain cannot have divergent definitions |
| _ | Enforce non-divergence | Enforce non-divergence in model according to PDM options defined using the Configure Model Options feature. |
Unique Code for references has no equivalent in the OOM and this option is not selected by default in the PDM options. However, if you select Unique Code for references in the PDM options, references will be renamed during the generation of an OOM to a PDM.
Options with no equivalent, like Show Classes as Data Type in the OOM without any corresponding option in a PDM, are generated using default values found in the registry.
