Chapter 4 Models

Extended Generation

If you have attached an extended model definition to your model, and it defines additional forms of generation (for example, the Sybase AS IQ DBMS supports the generation of data movement scripts via an extended model definition), you can invoke the generation by selecting Tools →Extended Generation.

The Generation window can contain the following tabs:

• Targets – select the targets for which you want to generate
• Selection – specify the objects from which you want to generate
• Options – lists options to control the generation.
• Generated Files – lists the files to be generated
• Tasks – lists the tasks that can be performed after generation

For information about creating extended generation targets and defining options and tasks, see the Resource Files and the Public Metamodel and Extending your Models with Profiles chapters of the Customizing and Extending PowerDesigner book.
