Chapter 9 Working with PDMs

Importing models with PowerBuilder extended attributes from a previous version

When importing a previous version model containing PowerBuilder extended attributes, PowerDesigner detects these extended attributes and automatically attaches the PowerBuilder extended model definition to the model.

The PowerBuilder extended model definition contains only the PowerBuilder extended attributes supported in the current version of PowerDesigner. If the imported model contains PowerBuilder extended attributes other than those in the PowerBuilder extended model definition, they are lost when the model is imported.

The values of PowerBuilder extended attributes are imported with the model.

You can also import the extended attributes contained in a .EXA file.

For more information on how to import .EXA files, see section Importing the extended attributes from a .EXA file in chapter Extended Model Definitions Reference Guide in the Advanced User Documentation .

To import a model with PowerBuilder extended attributes from a previous version:

1. Open a model saved with a previous version of PowerDesigner.
2. Select Model→Extended Model Definitions.
   
   The list displays the PowerBuilder extended model definition.
