Chapter 6 Working with Enterprise Architecture Models

Generating an EAM from an EAM

You can generate another EAM from your EAM. When changes are made to the source model, they can be easily propagated to any generated models by regenerating, using the Update Existing Model generation mode.

To generate one EAM from another:

Select Tools→Generate Enterprise Architecture Model to open the EAM Generation Options Window:

On the General tab, select to generate a new or update an existing model, and complete the appropriate options.

[optional] Click the Detail tab and set any appropriate options. We recommend that you select the Check model checkbox to check the model for errors and warnings before generation.

[optional] Click the Target Models tab and specify the target models for any generated shortcuts.

[optional] Click the Selection tab and select or deselect objects to generate.

Click OK to begin generation.
