Creating a submodel from a package in a logical data model

You can use the workbench to create submodels from existing packages in a logical data model. This is one way to partition a large logical data model when you are working in a team environment.
Before you begin
Prerequisite: Before you modify a logical data model, you must open the model in the logical data model editor.
About this task

To create a submodel from a package in a logical data model:

  1. Select a package in the Data Project Explorer. You can select any package except for the root package of the model.
  2. Right-click the package and select Create Submodel from Package.
Results
The submodel is created and displayed in the Data Project Explorer as a new .ldm file, with the same name as the original package. A shortcut to the submodel is displayed under the main model, and the package icon changes to indicate that the package object package icon has been changed to a shortcut to a submodel sub-model shortcut icon.
