You can convert your Pacbase entities to another model such as
PDP model.
You need to have entities imported from a Pacbase database in a connection
repository.
Converting entities to PDP model means at first that you export your
entities to the Design explorer view in the Design
perspective. Then you will be able to update your entities in this
editor.
- To do this, open the Pacbase Explorer view in
the Pacbase perspective.
- Open an existing connection repository and right-click in the list
of entities. In the popup menu that opens up, select . 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
and the one(s) you have selected in the view.
- On the first window of the wizard, check the entities you want
to convert or click All if you want to select of all
them. Click None to cancel a selection. Check Convert
already present dependent entities to convert also the associated
entities. For example, if you select the 'AA' Data element, the Segment 'AA00'
will be converted too. Then, click Next.
- On the next window, select an existing location or enter a new
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:
