Chapter 21 Working with the Data Flow Diagram

Importing a ProcessAnalyst Model into a DFD

You can recover V6 ProcessAnalyst Model information into a BPM with a data flow diagram by opening a PAM into a BPM.

You will then retrieve PAM objects into your DFD as a new BPM with a data flow diagram is created for the PAM model, and the objects of the PAM model are translated into DFD objects.

You can still open a PAM into a CDM (Conceptual Data Model), knowing that the PAM objects recovery is restricted to data items and domains. When opening a PAM, you are asked to choose between opening into a BPM or opening into a CDM.
