Chapter 3 Projects and Framework Matrices

Example: Specifying a Generation action

The Generation action lets a framework matrix user generate one or more models from another model. The generated model will be displayed in the Browser under the project node and as a document in the cell to which it has been attached.

In the following example, we will specify an action that enables the user to generate exactly one Sybase AS Enterprise 15.0.2 PDM from a Logical Data Model.

Steps To enable the generation of a PDM from an LDM:

  1. Double-click a framework matrix cell to open its property sheet, and click the Actions tab.
  2. Click the Add a Row tool to create a new action, and double-click it to open its property sheet.
  3. On the General tab, enter "Generate from Logical Model " in the Name field.
  4. Clear the Multiple check box to specify that exactly one generated PDM can be attached to the cell.
  5. Click the Detail tab, and specify the following properties in the fields (see Framework matrix action property sheet Detail tab):
    Property Select or enter
    Type Generation
    Model type Physical Data Model
    Model language type Sybase AS Enterprise 15.0.2
    Source model Logical Data Model
    Source cell Logical data model

  6. Click OK to close the action and cell property sheets and return to the framework matrix.

    The Generation action is now available for use by framework matrix users (see Attaching a document to a framework matrix cell).
