Changing the XML language of an XML model

Chapter 2 XML Model Basics

Changing the XML language of an XML model

If you change the XML language of an XML model, you have to define the status of the language:

XML language	Description
Share	To use the shared XML language stored in the XML Languages directory of your installation. Any changes made to the XML language are available to the linked XML model
Copy	To create a copy of the XML language in the model. The current XML language is independent from the original XML language, so any changes made in the XML language are not available to other models. The XML language is saved with the model and cannot be used by other models

WARNING!

Caution
PowerDesigner is delivered with a set of XML languages. It is strongly advised to make a backup copy of each XML language before you start modifying them.

To change the XML language of an XML model:

Select Language→Change Current Language.

The Change XML Language dialog box appears.

Select an XML language.

Select the Share or Copy radio button.

Click OK.

A message box informs you that the current XML language has been changed.

Click OK.
