Reverse engineering a single replication process

Chapter 6 Reverse Engineering in an ILM

Reverse engineering a single replication process

You reverse engineer a single replication process using the Reverse Engineering command from its contextual menu. It allows you to reverse engineer all its related objects.

To reverse engineer a single replication process:

Right-click a replication process symbol in the diagram and select Reverse Engineering from the contextual menu that is displayed.

Once the reverse engineering is performed, PowerDesigner displays the Merge Models window to show you the differences between the reverse engineered model and the current model. You can decide whether you want to accept or not the created or modified objects.

For more information on merging models, see section Merging Models, in chapter Comparing and Merging Models in the General Features Guide.

The reversed objects are added to your model. They are visible in the diagram and in the Browser. They are also listed in the Reverse page of the Output window, located in the lower part of the main window.
