Transforming a physical data model to an Optim logical data model

You can use the Transform to Optim™ Logical Data Model wizard to create a new Optim logical data model. You can create an Optim logical model based on an entire physical data model as well as a selected schema or entity in a physical data model.

If you create an Optim logical data model from a physical data model that does not include database connection information, you must provide connection information when you create the Optim logical data model.

To transform a physical data model to an Optim logical data model:
  1. Expand the Data Models folder, right-click the physical data model, or either a schema or entity in the model, and click Transform to Optim Logical Data Model. The Transform to Optim Logical Data Model wizard opens.
  2. On the first page of the wizard, select Create new model.
  3. Complete the steps of the wizard.

    If this is the first Optim logical data model associated with the database connection, you must enter a name for a new Optim data source.

    If a native data source connection is available for the database, you can define or edit a native data source connection for the database.

The Optim logical data model is created and displayed in the Data Models folder.
