You can open a v6 process analyst model (PAM) into a CDM, to recover process modeling information, as follows:

You can recover processes from a PAM by opening it into a BPM (see the Business Process Modeling guide).

Steps To open a PAM into a CDM:

  1. Select File→Open and select the PAM file.
  2. Click Open to display the Formats for ProcessAnalyst Model window.
  3. Select PowerDesigner Conceptual Data Model and click OK to begin the import.

    The recovered objects are imported into the CDM and appear in a default diagram.
