Chapter 2 Physical Data Model Basics

Archiving a PDM

Archived models store all constraint names without making a difference between user defined and calculated constraints. These models are used with the modify database feature.

You can archive a PDM with the .apm file extension, using the following methods:

• Save a PDM as an archived model
• Automatically archive PDM after database creation

To archive a PDM:

1. Select File→Save As, select Archived PDM (bin) or Archived PDM (xml) in the Save As Type dropdown listbox, and click Save.
   
   or
   
   Select Database→Generate Database, click the Options tab, select the Automatic Archive check box in the After Generation groupbox, and click OK.
