Converting your entity instances

You can convert Pacbase entities from the Pacbase Explorer view to another editor, for instance converting to the PDP model.

You need to have entities imported from a Pacbase database in a connection repository.
Converting entities to PDP model means that you export your entities to the PDP (Pattern-driven model) editor. Then you will be able to update your entities in this editor.
  1. To do this, open the Pacbase Explorer view in the Pacbase perspective.
  2. Open an existing connection repository and right-click in the list of entities. In the popup menu that opens up, select Convert > Convert to PDP model. The wizard that opens looks like this following one:
    You find in sub-branches, the list of the instances you have imported locally in your connection repository.
  3. On the first window of the wizard, check the type of entities you want to convert or click All if you want to select of all them. Click None to have all the boxes unchecked. Check Convert already present dependent entities to convert the selected entities and their dependencies. Then , click Next.
  4. On the next window, select or enter a target location. The entities will be saved in the Design view of the Design perspective, under the location you indicate here. Then, click Finish and the convert process starts running. The window closes at the end of the process.
Go onto the Design view of the Design perspective and check that you find the instances in the expected entity sub-directory in the proper location:
