Reverse engineering several replication processes

Chapter 6 Reverse Engineering in an ILM

Reverse engineering several replication processes

You reverse engineer several replication processes using the Tools→Reverse Engineering Replication Server command that allows you to select the replication processes to reverse engineer.

To reverse engineer several replication processes:

Select Tools→Reverse Engineering Replication Server to open a selection dialog box.

Select the replication processes you want to reverse engineer.

Click OK to start the process.

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.
