Chapter 7 Linking and Synchronizing Models in PowerDesigner
In a BPM, data are conceptual pieces of information that can be specified with more details in a Conceptual Data Model (CDM), in a Physical Data Model (PDM) or in the class diagram of an Object Oriented Model (OOM).
You can export BPM data to create the corresponding objects in the CDM, PDM or OOM. Exported data are automatically linked to the created objects in the BPM via a shortcut in the BPM. For example, if you export data as CDM data items, a shortcut for each new data item is created in the BPM.
You can also import data defined in a CDM, PDM or OOM into a BPM. Imported data are automatically linked to the selected objects in the source model via a shortcut in the BPM.
For more information, see "Exchanging data" in the "Building an Analysis Business Process Model" chapter in the BPM User's Guide .
